A Mini Rant on The Catholic Pentagram
The pentagram much like myself walks two paths. One holy, and one infernal. It is not just a symbol of wicca, witches, satan, or the elements, but one of heaven.
Amien's Cathedral is popular for its inversed pentagram. In old [folk] catholicism the inverse pentagram represented the holy spirit coming down upon christians. It was seen as ethereal fire and the spirit of god himself. Today many folk catholics make this sign over things to bless them as well as the sign of the cross. Just as the crucifix was on many home altars, the inversed pentagram was too! Do not let the New-Agers and wiccan-lites ruin this symbol for you.
The pentagram as stated earlier was used to represent the five elements in occultism. However there was a time it represented the five wounds of christ. (image from @daught3rsofcain)
Along with the five wounds, it was believed to be a symbol of the five senses of man. Smell, taste, touch, sight, and hearing. to place the pentagram at the foot of the cross was representative of god giving us life and of god becoming flesh.
As a folk catholic, I enjoy these older mystical ideas of this symbol. but as a trad witch, I enjoy the satanic aspects of the pentagram too. why cant I have both? In my tradition Jesus and The Devil are treated as yin and yang. As Gemini. As Apollo and Artemis. Both have a place at my altar.
As the inverse pentagram represents divinity it is also the devils horns stirring the heavens.
You can have both. Because they both exist.
rant over.

A Prayer to Joan of Arc🗡🖤
Feel free to use this in your practice and to connect with Joan of Arc! She’s a wonderful saint, I love Joan a lot and hope that others may find this prayer helpful too. They’re a great spirit to go to when first starting to work with saints, as she can help with so many things. Joan is someone I regularly go to for protecting myself and others, they have such a powerful presence.
Blessed Joan of Arc
Filled with love and understanding for those who call on you,
you have compassion for those suffering through grief and desolation.
Dear brave and holy leader, help me to carry the weight of my battles,
I pray to you and ask you to keep me under your fierce protection, take my hand and guide me
Fearless Joan of Arc, ride alongside and fight with me
amen

Are you ever just going about your day when it really hits you like God, as in THE ONLY God sent Its son to Earth?! God literally walked the Earth??!! Not only that, He came to SAVE US? He gave His life for our salvation!? GOD WALKED THE EARTH. He BLED and DIED for US?!!!?!!?!! AND He continues to give His Body and Blood for our salvation every day all around the world? It just hits me sometimes how incredibly awesome and literally amazing it is. How blessed are we!!!
I think it’s easy for it to become mundane when it’s one’s everyday life and routine but sometimes it really hits me, like, wow, that actually happened, holy shit (pun intended). I’m so grateful to get to experience this awe.

Prayed for me, Tio, and anyone else I could think of! The blessings I asked differed from person to person. I have a feeling that Tio and I will come into enough money for whatever we truly need. Especially if I remain frugal and stick with my priorities/principles. It is a pleasure serving Santa Muerte. My faith is growing.

enough with the "where do you see yourself in five years?" what if i wanted to be an old man who was followed around by all the kids because they wanted to hear my stories about meeting the faery queen and her husband (the devil), to the point that the parents got exasperated with me and called me a drunken fool because i sat singing with the sailors in the pub. huh? what then?
