Imbolc Ritual
To connect with your genius loci~
Been seeing a lot about pancakes as a traditional Imbolc food, and how they are eaten on Imbolc because they resemble round bellies and sunshine. That may be true, but it’s also important to remember that, historically*, when living with the seasons and the land, you’d probably be sick and tired of pancakes on February 1st, because that’s all you have left to eat before the first spring harvest. Refrigerators and trucks that ship food to your city from around the world weren’t exactly around when Imbolc was first celebrated, and eggs, milk, butter, and meat were basically all you had left that was fresh. Grain and flour keeps a long time. Pancakes were just what people were able to eat. *Not to discount the symbolism at all, just to add another layer to the holiday!
So, in the spirit of connecting with our, well, spirits of place, I wanna suggest a fun Imbolc meal: do some research on what foods are available in your area this time of year. Up north, you might not have a whole lot except animal products or grains and such that keep a long time. Further south, you may have a lot of tasty veggies or fruits still in season. Make a meal using what’s traditionally available to you right now in your locale. Here in New York, I will definitely be eating pancakes with syrup for breakfast, and a lot of bread, cheese, venison, etc throughout the day.

I’ve been doing some magical studying on plant spirit familiars and the magic of the different plants. I’ve been working with living poisonous plants like the Mandragora and Hellebore. I want to venture deeper into this type of magic and the working with these spirits. #plants #plantspirit #plantspirits #plantspirithealing #bookofshadows #bookofshadowspages #bookofshadowspage #grimoire #grimoirepages #plants #greenwitchesofinstagram #greenwitches #greenwitchcraft #pagan #occult #magical #hygge #boho #journaling #journal #journalinspiration #magical #magicaljournal #bos #witchyvibes #witchythings #witchylife #witchylifestyle #flowers #flower (at Sacramento, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcJn5BpvlKV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

24th September 1541, death of Swiss German Renaissance physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer, and occultist Paracelsus. Paracelsus pioneered the use of chemicals and minerals in medicine. His hermetical views were that sickness and health in the body relied on the harmony of man (microcosm) and Nature (macrocosm). Through this work Paracelsus founded the science of toxicology, and would also influence the contents of grimoire like the ‘Petit Albert’ all the way into the 20th century. Of his medical theories, he declared: “The universities do not teach all things,” he wrote, “so a doctor must seek out old wives, gipsies, sorcerers, wandering tribes, old robbers, and such outlaws and take lessons from them. A doctor must be a traveller.…Knowledge is experience.” One lasting influence of Paracelsus is the work in the following century of English botanist, herbalist, physician, and astrologer Nicholas Culpeper. Culpepper published his books of medical and pharmaceutical knowledge in English, a publishing language that was born with William Caxyton. By publishing in English, Culpepper’s works could be read by ordinary folk healers who could not read Latin. His most known work was ‘The English Physician’ published in 1653, it is known today as Culpeper’s Herbal. His questioning of traditional methods and knowledge, pairing herbs and planetary influences to counter illnesses and disease, led him to be accused of Witchcraft in 1642. Art shown is original and inspired by the story, it can be found on the website: www.ofgraveconern.com You are invited to follow @ofgrave.concern for more tales from history and inspired art. #paracelsus #historyofmedicine #medicalhistory #folkmedicine #folkmedicinerevival #alchemy #alchemyart #alchemyarts #astrologyposts #astrologyhistory #historyofastrology #alchemysymbols #thephilosophersstone #philosophersstone #galen #toxicology #toxicologylab #grimoire #grimoirepages #lepetitalbert #grimoireart #nicholasculpeper #culpeper #herbalmedicinecabinet #folkhealer #folkhealers #herbology #herbhistory #pharmacology #historyofscience https://www.instagram.com/p/CUNd_o5F2dc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Spirit Companionship in Non-Western Cultures
In light of recent events, in which I had a rocky discussion with a western spirit conjurer and another one with my friend who wanted to sell his khodam to foreigners, I've realized something... A lot of you don't know what Khodam is. Or Lukthep. Or any forms of spirit companionship that isn't based in western beliefs.
This results in a LOT of misunderstandings between conjurers and spirit workers of different cultures. I've seen it happen multiple times, not just here, but also on sites like Etsy and Instagram. Oh, plenty of cultural appropriation too, because ppl throws the word Khodam around like it's child's play.
If you're interested in a post detailing what a khodam is (and why it's important to know it), do respond to this post. I wanna check the interest before I wrote it. It's a chance to learn about magick in other cultures, so I hope a lot of you would want to know about it.
If the post gains traction, I'll also make one about Lukthep, a thai tradition where you take care of a child spirit as your own baby. Maybe start a blog series for Eastern folk magick.
It will no doubt be an amazing inspiration for your path and practice.

Aphrodite [Olympian, Greek]
A page from my grimoire.
Goddess of: love, beauty, pleasure, passion, procreation
Zodiac sign: Taurus [ruled by Venus]
Planet: Venus
Primary Cult Centres: Cyprus, Kythera, Corinth, Cnidus, Eryx [likely more]
Lineage: Born from the sea-foam, she was birthed when Ouranus' penis was thrown into the sea by his son Cronus. In fact, aphros means "foam."
She was the patron goddess of all sex workers in ancient Greece. She was also the patron deity of the Lagid Queens & Queen Arsinoe II of Ptolemy Egypt (and many other prominent women).
She rewards those who honour her but her punishments can be swift and brutal.
She was by the accompanied winged godling Eros, the God of lust and sexual desire. Her main attendants are Charites, Zeus' daughters, and goddesses of charm, beauty, nature, human creativity, goodwill, and fertility. Agae, Euphroyne, and Thalia; meaning, Shining, Joy, and Blooming. Her other attendants were the Themis, daughters of Zeus. The Themis are named Eunomia, Dike, Eriene; Good Order, Justice, and Peace. She is sometimes accompanied by Harmonia, her daughter, and Hebe, the daughter of Zeus and Hera.
Aphrodite makes Pandora the first woman. She pours grace over her head and equips her with painful desire and weakening anguish. They adored her with gold jewelry and made her very beautiful & sexually attractive.
The God of fertility, Priapus, is said to be her son by Dionysus; Hera was jealous and poisoned her, so he was born hideous, and she left the infant in the wilderness.
She is married to Hephaestus but had an affair with Ares.
She plays a prominent role in the Iliad. She granted Paris the most beautiful woman for declaring her the most beautiful goddess (out of Hera and Athena). This woman was Helen of Sparta and thus the Trojan war began. She inspired Helen to sleep with Paris & saved Paris from the battlefield when fighting Helen’s husband, Menelaus.
Aphrodite can help you accept and love all aspects as yourself. She can help you love the skin your in and learn to see yourself as beautiful and desirable. She can help you treat yourself with love, tenderness, and compassion. If you have difficulties with self love, passion, and intimacy, Aphrodite would be a good goddess to work with to overcome these. Aphrodite can also teach you to honour and respect yourself. Also, to love yourself enough to create boundaries, advocate for yourself, and not let others get away with treating you poorly.
Festivals & Worship
Aphrodisia - was celebrated on the fourth day of the month of Hekatombaion [July/August] in honor of Aphrodite's role in the unification of Attica, also important in Cyrus but celebrated in many places
Kinyrades - Held in Hekatombaiōn [July/August] and was an initiation like festivals for those becoming priests of Aphrodite. Divided into three celebrations. First four days there was an exchange of coins for salt by priest and worshipper. This practice is said to celebrate the birth of the goddess from the sea. The celebration also included athletic competitions, sea-bathing, and bloodless sacrifices. These activities followed an all-nighter in her temple, followed by lamenting Adonis & celebrating his resurrection.
Symbols
the sea, mirrors, mountains, conch shells
Animals: doves, sea birds, sparrows, swans, bees, goats
Plants/Herbs/Food: roses, myrtles, apples, pomegranate, artichokes, laurel, ash and poplar trees
Scent: stephanotis, musk, verbena, vanilla, incense, vervain, roses, sandalwood
Colors: pink, silver, violet, aqua, seafoam, light blue
Offerings
