The Fortune Coin for Blessing of the Spirit

      This casting of Blessing begins with found money, nickels, dimes, quarters and of course pennies. These are usually located in parking lots of places where money is exchanged. When ever I shop I scan the lot I am in and usually  five times out of ten, coins are there to be found. These 'pennies from heaven' are to become the essence of real fortune and are not to be spent but always kept. For the ritual Blessing to begin take the found coin and place it in a container, preferably of…

A Ritual Space for Casting of Blessing

  For the willing of Blessing you would chose objects of a personal nature, things that are of value to you, large or small, and collect them as you will. When you have acquired what you believe is correct for your personal space for giving of Blessing, arrange them in the place where you spend most of your time; here is where your spirits energy is as its height and is accumulated through your presence. This is your Ritual Space, a place of Blessing for you and for others you may cast…

Music In Ritual

I've been thinking a lot about the power of music lately. Well, I always think about the power of music; but it's been tapping me on the shoulders quite a bit of late. So this week, let's talk about the role that music plays in ritual!

Music was important to the Chinese philosopher, Confucious, as it has been for shamans around the world and down the ages. In fact I have a little story that tell us just exactly how music came to the earth way back when.

And central to music is…

Our Source is Not of Dictate. .

   The god of the Bible is of dictate, the book where  HE is OUR SOURCE. Where HE is a dictator demanding obedience through threat of our death. And how can you love this god except in fear of your existence? and how can fear ever inspire love?  Our source is not of dictate or of rules brought forth by the will of men. We know as Wiccan and Pagan inherently to do no harm, for it was instilled within through our SOURCE, the one of compassion and life  who chose not man before woman or son…

ANCIENT PAGAN Pt.2

    Considering some organized religious systems and their capacity for destruction through their faithful, a return to the ancient is really what is needed in the 21st century.Before Judaism, before the birth of Christianity, Ancient people worshipped, they had ritual and they weren't godless. The source of the universe was contemplated by our ancestors as they looked to nature for spiritual truths. When you consider for instance how destructive Judeo-Christianity has been as the Bible is…

ANCIENT PAGAN

At this time on Earth the pagan may be considered as  'primitive' with all the negative that comes with the Word. I believe that the cornerstone of purity is of early paganism. Those of the past who knew of the source of things through nature, the natural world. The god and goddess known through the androgynous; plants and trees then the perfect source of faith. The tree symbolic of the creative force of all things, still the perfect symbol for modern times. Consider the Celtic cross that…

Mystery Cults

..This week let's go way back in time to talk about Mystery Cults!  Mystery religions were religious cults in Ancient Greece and Rome.  Participation was reserved to initiates and secrecy was kept as to the particulars of the initiation and the cult practice in general.   But how did these sects function within their societies?  Were they accepted?  Were there conflicts?  Talking just about this one aspect of life in Ancient Greece and Rome can give great insight into how people back then…

Family, Friends and Familiars

A Familiar. What is family that is not human? Those who know you, and accept and understand as you sacrifice for them.  One Familiar in my house is difficult to photograph so her image cannot be displayed. She is a  Beta named Ryn. I found her in the standard pet shop setting, she was in a small plastic cup, the Betas stacked on top of each other, she was near the bottom of the stack. I saw her as one of the disposable, not likely to be chosen compared to the more colorful ones available. I…

KNOWING THE FEMININE ASPECT OF CREATION- The Freedom of Wiccan

     When the name GOD is used or spoken, do you automatically think HE? I have found many do if not consciously, and this notion is a main contributor to atheism. In ancient paganism the Goddess was acknowledged alongside the God, she his equal in full strength of mind. It was in the time of the Old Testament that  the God began to dominate, thus silencing the Goddess where the female was then Eve, the disobedient daughter, not a Goddess equal to the god of the testament, but a child with…

THE FREEDOM OF WICCAN- OF BELL, BOOK, AND CANDLE

  •    Most religion is of dictate and dogma, where there is a leader making followers, those  who then lose themselves as they then follow in a space of spiritual non-participation. I have experienced Wicca as a spiritually free space of inner and outer exploration of the known and unknown universe. As a Wiccan I am allowed my own vision and insight; the meaning of Goddess. In the name of Gaia, Goddess of Earth, for the day of All Mothers, here is my ritual of Bell, Book and…

I'm a neopagan, and I have not pledged the Rede

I think the Rede of "harm none" is beautiful yet nigh impossible for me to live by. Things could change, and I could change, but in the meantime I must keep my technology and my chicken salad. It's difficult for me to type out my feelings, but I will try...

 

I haven't mastered psychic access to the Akashic Records, but I have the Internet. Generally speaking, all the things needed for me to use the internet first come from Mother Earth. Large areas of Her natural resources are…

What is a Wicca

    So much dictate is used for whatever reason to speak of what a Wiccan is; but in Wicca we know we can look within for answers needed and  also look to the Earth through nature for faith in creation. Here there is no dictate, only truth that changes and is also solid. I am old now, fifty five, I remember being twenty-five, and as a Wicca I accept what must be. Is it better to be an old witch than a woman in youth. I say yes because I have acquired wisdom. There is no book or rule to tell…
