Coven Study Material Southern Hemisphere Witch Work

Pt1

Altars &

Protection: Light Work/Cleansing/ Blessings/Wards

Altars:

An altar is a sacred space you create to do spiritual work with your higher source of power and to centre your connection with your divine power.

In Wicca there is a specific lay out with a place for for the “Lord and Lady” and all objects on the altar. This can be helpful to beginners to base their own altar practices until they develop a more intuitive way to layout their Altar. ( see picture provided at next meeting for a Wicca example)

As I explored my own path I learned to work with what I had on hand, any good witch or practitioner of magick learns to recognise that it is not the be all and end all if you do not have all the tools immediately but to be patient and build towards the altar you desire.

Allowing things to come into your path and connecting with objects you may feel a deep sense of desire to introducing things to your altar. Magick can feel like an experiment sometimes and exploring different combinations of things is all a part of growing your intuition and connection to the divine which resonates in all of existence.

There are certain elements and real life dangers to consider and we are aware of concise wrong and right things to be aware of in not endangering oneself.

Magick enriches ones life to their will and although the [Wiccan] rede may insight a thumb rule that "An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will”… not all who practice magic abide by these rules, I mean, some people are completely oblivious to the fact they are even practicing magick at times!

So, with this in mind, let’s discuss “Protection”.

Protection in the practice of magick is an important element to understand.

Protection can mean protection of objects, pets, loved ones, family, homes, businesss’, our person and self, our creative works etc.

Protection and Wards can range in the forms of cleansing, chanting, enchanting or blessing an object and serving it a purpose, in depth rituals with spoken intentions, defensive magick crystal grids works, earth and nature works, water works, light work, deity work, salt, essential oils casting with a wand of choice (wands will be explored at the next meet) Symbols, signs, geometry eg; drawing out pentagrams in various sizes, and many more but for the sole purpose of foundation work being the focus I will share the basics for you to practice. This can all feel overwhelming and exciting at the same time so my advise is to take things slow and aim to make things simple while feeling out what works for you. Building your confidence with consistent practice is a key thing to remember.

Lightwork:

A basic light working activity is the “light ball”, some people may use a similar method with other names like “bubbles” etc but the light ball is a really great practice to start with. It is extremely cleansing, enriching and really works if you are able to visualise and self talk.

You begin by taking a deep breath, closing your eyes, Exhaling, bringing your attention inward, Sharp breath in and relax into yourself as you sit in the darkness you sight a small light, you inhale and notice the light expanding, while your breath expands the perimeter of its former shape becoming stronger, brighter and whiter you can direct the breath to where the light and protection is going to grow to, from your core. To give the protective orb a purpose you can even go to lengths of raising your light to shield you from negativity and project the light from within just before going into a certain situation or when you may leave your safe spaces.

This is a perfect practice anywhere you can take 2 minutes to tune into your breathing and close your eyes.

Cleansing:

Cleansing is very simple and done for many different things.

There are different forms of cleansing, sometimes harnessing certain elements for example smoke represents air, water is water, Salt is earth, and Fire can vary from candle to a live flame.

Smudge sticks are available in stores and online, you are always welcome to grow and harvest your own if you were feeling the desire to really get into the greenery- Herbology, nature and your garden is a key subject you are always connecting with, learning about and mastering through.- Sage/White Sage/ Lavender/

Dried is preferable! It burns a lot better :)

After bundling the herbs and/or plants, you can bundle with a cotton string, they are usually pretty cheap to pick up at a store.

You take your bundle to the front of the house (Sidenote: I would perform this during or after I have cleaned my house as a clean and organised home allows your energy and magick to flow smoothly and not get caught in the junk)

Starting at your front door, open the door ( if you aren’t comfortable going in front of your house to perform this on the outside of the front door yet I understand, but work towards it)

In an anticlockwise motion start to move the stick and draw a spiral with your smudge smoke. Draw lots of spirals from the centre out in all sizes to suit what you are cleansing. As you draw spirals make this all around the edges of each door way and corner, centre of each room while visualising all the stagnant, still and negative energy, thoughts leaving and then visualise the things that you want to replace them with, such as; harmony, honesty, love, prosperity, abundance, trust, creativity, joy, happiness etc.

TBC.

Sharehouse Peace Witch's Ladder

This one's been in the works for me for a week or so but I finally had enough peace in my busy moving schedule to sit down and make a pair - one for the front door and one for the back.

Use 9 silver [coloured] bells in place of knots or feathers so that these double as a door protection Witch Bell/s. Their peal as the door is opened wards off dark energies and brings in positive energy.

Use 3 threads:

Blue - for peace, calm, healing and protection

Yellow - for clear communication (So important in a share house)

Black- to absorb negative energy

I used embroidery thread but strips of fabric or anything you have around will do fine, as long as your bells can thread on.

Tie a loop large enough to slip on to your door handle, and then thread on your first bell. I always thread my bells onto the black thread so that they will reinforce each others ability to repel and control dark energies.

Start plaiting! Each time you cross a thread over repeat to yourself its purpose: "peace and calm, clear communication absorb the negative, peace and calm, clear communication, absorb the negative-" I find this helps my intent stay focused for such long projects.

When you've plaited enough space that your bells won't touch, thread on another. Repeat this until the 9th bell. Tie this one on with a strong ending statement such as "In this Home!" Or "So mote it be!"

Trim your excess thread (unless you want straggly-chic). Plop it on your door and thank it in advance for its work. You're done!
