Just more royals fighting royals, aristocracy is still existent and toying with regular people’s moneys. Economics is a game of the rich and powerful. I am mad but also a little confused. How is it that these two still haven’t figured out their karma shiz yet?! #aristocracy #napolean #waterloo #karma #reincarnation

What a mess, he had just gotten out of one hot sticky situation and now he was in another one. The guards seemed enticed, all he had to do was get past them…or maybe not so quickly. They both were brawny and good to look at…oh this goblin boy is hopeless!

Hey hey,

I have been working on reimagine my spirituality and hope to be bringing more to this page. It has been a deep dive on overdrive for me into gnostic phenomenon and Christianity’s PAGAN past. There is a LOT of witchy stuff that the early church was into and they got wickedly hypocritical as time went on. I hope to dive into a little bit of that here.

There is a Cathedral Lugo in Spain where a rich tradition of Celtic lore still survives. Back when the church was spreading, it adopted gods of the local traditions…as Pagan as you can get. Here the Celts worshipped Lugh, who is a god of light, healing, poetry, smiths, and many more craftsman. It should be noted that Archangel Michael is also noted for presiding over prayers directed by artisans, craftsman, healers, and is a bringer of light! They also have connections to sailors and are capable warriors. Michael is noted besting Lucifer and Lugh the Fomorians. Two representatives of the Titan-esque unbridled raw power that is seen as destructive.

I put this together for my altar space that I am still putting together, as my original one broke in the move and I am broke so I have to find some cheap way to replace it 😓

See you next time

Remember that in the dark not all things are evil or bad, but in the darkness we may learn to let our light truly shine. There it may be un-obscured by the light of others or the blinding false truths perpetuated through the one “reality” that is supposed to exist…

This Goddess has such a rich history...and a dark history. She is after all the mistress in the shadows of the world, holding ancient wisdom lost and dark secrets we would rather shy away from and count our blessings for the illusion we think the real world is.

Feast Day Candles

I made these with the tutorial from @baduhennasraven , but instead of Spell Candles I made candles for the Sabbats or Feast Days I celebrate!

Here are all the Feast Day candles in order!

Imbolc

Red, yellow and orange candles were used on this candle. I used pumpkin spice black tea and red glitter on the top of the candle and it is tied with an orange piece of twine and a triskele charm. These are all my personal associates for Brighid and Imbolc is her Feast day.

Spring Equinox

This candle celebrates the dichotomy of light and dark. This Feast Day for me represents the turning of the wheel and after this day of equal light and dark it will start to get lighter every day. I used yellow, black, and white candles for this. The light side has salt for cleansing, and white quartz chips. The dark side has silver glitter and smoky quartz chips for banishing. It is topped with lemon peel for cleansing.

Beltaine

This candle is for one of the first Fire festivals of the year. It has purple, green, and red candles dripped on it. The herbs used are lavender, dried roses (whole and crumbled up) and dried honeysuckle - for the sweetness, love and romance of the season. It also has pink glitter for romance and pink Himalayan sea salt for self care and cleansing. This is basically like my Valentine’s day. It is tied with a purple sparkly ribbon and the charm is a purple butterfly, to represent the Fair Folk. This holiday is a time when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest, and it is said the Faeries walk the land.

Midsummer

I live in very warm place so basically summer starts on Beltaine and lasts well into August or September. This candle is for the summer solstice, or as I celebrate it - Midsummer. This candle is for Manannán Mac Lir. It has green, purple, and ocean scented aqua candle drips on it. It is topped with beach sand, salt, shell pieces, and ocean jasper chips - to represent the sea, the realm of Manannán. It is tied with a straw ribbon that represents the rushes we pay as rent to him, and a sea shell with a hole in it I found at the beach. It smells the best out of all the candles!

Lughnasa

One of my favorite Feast Days, this candle is for the harvest feast of Lughnasadh. It represents three deities, Lugh, Taitlu, and Brighid. The yellow is for Brighid, who I honor this time of the year as well. The purple is for Taitlu, who plowed the land non-stop, purple represents her bruised body and tireless work. Green is for Lugh, the Many-Talented. This Feast Day is the funeral games he threw for Taitlu. It is topped with pumpkin pie spice, which looks like dirt and smells like all the good things that grow in it. It also has Brighid’s tea on top, and then a sprinkle of all the left over colors of wax to represent all the talents of Lugh. It is tied with a green ribbon and a sprig of Ornage flowers, to represent the harvest that starts on this Feast Day.

Samhain

Samhain was a fun one. It’s not quite done, because I am going to look for a charm for it. It has black, purple, and white candle drips. It’s the second time of the year that the veil between worlds is thinnest, and is know for the spirits of the dead to visit. The purple is for the Fae as wel, for they too step through the veil. The top has silver glitter, rosemary for remembrance, and theee juniper berries, offering for the honored dead. This candle is to honor my ancestors, the gods and not-gods, and the beloved dead.

And those are the candles I worked on today!

Nothing at all against Wiccans,

but I’m not one. Even though I know some really rad Wiccans, I’m looking to find some non-Wiccan witch and folk magic blogs to follow. Like/reblog/comment so we can find each other and learn from each other.✌️

This is so true! The werewolf had a place in old totemic and ancestral shamanic wisdom where the shaman or healing man/woman would wear the skin of a wolf to imbue the powers of that spirit animal. The wolf is a cunning animal that is wise and which bridges the gap between the powerful forces of night and day. It is an incredible spirit to work with!

Manannan Mac Lir, the Irish god of the sea and associated with the Tuatha De Dannan and the Fomorians of old, a bridge between the old and the new...as the ocean should be. For it is a bridge between what is known and what is not and is a crucial lesson to learn when approaching witchcraft and the “old way.” Things are not always as they appear, especially when leaving this world of which we know so much...and yet so little.
