The Wiccan Rede

rede-wicca-714593 rede-wicca-714593

Bide within the Law you must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust. Live you must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give. For tread the Circle thrice about to keep unwelcome spirits out. To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be said in rhyme. Light of eye and soft of touch, speak you little, listen much. Honor the Old Ones in deed and name, let love and light be our guides again. Deosil go by the waxing moon, chanting out the joyful tune. Widdershins go when the moon doth wane, and the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane. When the Lady’s moon is new, kiss the hand to Her times two. When the moon rides at Her peak then your heart’s desire seek. Heed the North winds mighty gale, lock the door and trim the sail. When the Wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast. When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss you on the mouth. When the wind whispers from the West, all hearts will find peace and rest. Nine woods in the Cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow. Birch in the fire goes to represent what the Lady knows. Oak in the forest towers with might, in the fire it brings the God‘s insight.   Rowan is a tree of power causing life and magick to flower. Willows at the waterside stand ready to help us to the Summerland. Hawthorn is burned to purify and to draw faerie

Samhain poem or chant

grave-150x150 grave-150x150

Sunsets and I hear deaths call, distant friends out side my walls, coming closer and even closer still, lost friends and family who died while ill. I take a knife and carve a face and illuminate and set a place the final feast that all must eat and face the death we all must greet. Alone in silence I hear the chatter about the things that don’t matter, a reminder of the years that past, rejoicing that it not my last. The fire burns orange and black, it now the time to look back, at the lives and loves we have lost, the time to count the emotional cost. In sadness this is not done, it now the time for Samhain Fun, So bob for apples and trick and treat, for old friend your sure to meet. Gather close the ones you love and look upon the moon above, While remembering days that have past, enjoy the party and have a blast.

Inverted_pentagram Inverted_pentagram

Only perform this ritual if you’re in a stable emotional state of mind, as this ritual is design to invoke personal discoveries some of which can be painful so having someone to be with you after ritual can help. Timing. Waning moon to black moon (note the closer to the black moon the stronger the results so start with baby steps start just after full moon and work towards a black moon do not perform day after day unless you have done some practice I could take a year or mores practice before you can do the whole waning moon). Deity This requires one of the dark deities those that deal with the realms of the dead, it is advisable to choose one you are familiar with or one of your own gender. Equipment Wand / Athame Candle (colour any) Preparation Take a look at your life and you will see that you repeat the same mistake over and over again, it could be with relationships or work life you will need to question your self why doe relationships fail or why do I never get promoted once you have found the question you are ready to start Cleansing You will order prescription drugs online need to shower or bath and as you do just keep remembering times when you have made the mistake, dress in light clothing.

Nature Spirit Magick

Nature spirit magic Nature spirit magic

Introduction Each plant, animal, rock, or other entity has a spirit (consciousness resonance matrix). These spirits can join together in a hive-mind as a spirit of an area. Nature spirits include real biological intelligences, are psychically powerful, and much less abstract and controllable than the Elementals that many magical people who perform all of their rituals indoors are familiar with. They can be extremely powerful allies. It is possible to sense nature spirits, to determine if they are receptive to a ritual planned, and to have them actively participate in magical workings, if they are. Some Effects of Working with Nature Spirits Spectacular physical manifestations can happen when working with nature spirits in the wild. I have personally seen actual foxfire mark the boundaries of a magic circle at a location that was identified as a receptive power spot and attuned to a planned ritual the day before. I have seen more than one site attuned for ritual be dry and comfortable, with a round hole in the clouds overhead, on days that were cold and rainy at other locations. Birds have joined in rituals, flying around the circle when energy is being raised; and insects, birds and animals have also joined in chants. In addition, the wind may respond to invocations. Generally these spectacular manifestations happen unexpectedly. With or without such manifestations, nature spirits often will channel tremendous amounts of power into the magic being performed. It is suggested that you do not consciously try for specific manifestations. Let Nature channel her power into

The Charge Of The Goddess

MotherGoddessEarth MotherGoddessEarth

Whenever ye have need of anything, once in the month and better it be when the moon is full, then shall ye assemble in some secret place, and adore the spirit of me, who am Queen of all witches. There shall ye assemble, ye who are fain to learn all sorcery, yet have not won its deepest secrets; to these will I teach all things that are as yet unknown. And ye shall be free from slavery; and as a sign that ye be truly free, you shall be naked in your rites; and ye shall dance, sing, feast, make music and love, all in my praise. For mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, and mine also is joy on earth; for my law is love unto all beings. Keep pure your highest ideals; strive ever towards them, let nothing stop you or turn you aside. For mine is the secret door which opens upon the Land of Youth, and mine is the cup of the wine of life, and the Cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the Holy Vessel of Immortality. I am the gracious Goddess, who gives the gift of joy unto the heart of man. Upon earth, I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal; and beyond death, I give peace, and freedom, and reunion with those who have gone before. Nor do I demand sacrifice; for behold, I am the Mother of all living, and my love is poured out upon the Earth. I am the beauty of the green earth,

Hymns To The One Goddess

Lesson three goddess school of eclectic witchcraft Lesson three goddess school of eclectic witchcraft

Oh Goddess, You Yourself are the Creator. Everything that happens is by Your Doing. There is no one except You. You created the creation; You behold it and understand it. Amongst all is the Light–You are that Light. By this Illumination, that Light is radiant within all. The Goddess is the Greatest of the Great. No one calls Her any less. No one can estimate Her Worth. By speaking of Her, Her Greatness is not increased. You are the One True Mistress of all the other beings, of so many worlds. Come, my dear sisters and spiritual companions; hug me close in your embrace. You have so many Creative Powers, Mistress; Your Bountiful Blessings are so Great. So many of Your beings and creatures praise You day and night. You have so many forms and colours, so many classes, high and low. Meeting the True One, Truth wells up. The truthful are absorbed into the True Goddess. Upon that Highest Plane of Sublime Beauty, stands the Grove of the Goddess. By true actions, this human body is obtained, And the door within ourselves which leads to the Grove of the Goddess, is found. The True Goddess Herself knows all; She makes no mistakes. She is the Great Gardener of the Universe. First, She prepares the ground, and then She plants the Seed of the True Name. The nine treasures are produced from Name of the One Goddess. The blind have forgotten the Name of the Goddess. Their comings and goings in reincarnation do not end;

The Charge of the God

Cernunnos Cernunnos

Listen to the Words of the Horned God, Who was of old called among men: Adonis, Tammuz, Dianus, Herne,Bran, Beli, Lugh, Gwyn,Dionysus, Osiris, Cernunnos, Pan, And by many other Names. O Secret of Secrets, That art hidden in the being of all that lives, Not Thee do we adore, For That which adoreth is also Thou. Thou art That, and That am I. I am the Flame that burns in the heart of every being, And in the core of every Star. I am Life, and the Giver of Life, Yet therefore is the Knowledge of Me The Knowledge of Death and Resurrection. I am alone, the Lord within ourselves, Whose Name is Mystery of Mysteries. I am the Horned God. I am the Lord of the Universe, The Father of all living, The All-Devourer and the All-Begetter. I am He Whose Seed lies strewn As glittering Gems across velvet darkness Within the Womb of the Mother. I am the Lord of the Shadows In the darkness of the Underworld, For I am the Midnight Sun. I am the Light of the Stars, And the Spark of the Spirit Eternal, For I am the God Within. I am the Horned Leader of the Hosts of Air, The Leader of the Wild Hunt, The Judge of Gods and of Men. I am the Hidden God, Who ever yet remains, For I dwell within the secret seed. I am the seed of grain, I am the seed of flesh, I am the Seed of the Stars. I

The Witches Ladder

witches lader witches lader

The Witches’ Ladder (also known as rope and feathers, witches’ ladder, witches ladder, or witch ladder) uses basic knot magic with elemental correspondences to create a powerful talisman that you can hang in your home or wear for protection or give as a gift to your friends. The modern witch’s ladder is a string of 40 beads or a cord with 40 knots. Sometimes feathers, bones, and other trinkets are braided into the string as symbols for a desired spell effect. An earlier version of a witch’s ladder consisted of a rope or cord of three, nine, or thirteen knots. It was believed that witches of old cast a death spell over a person by tying the knots and then hiding the cord, and the only way to undo the spell was to find the secreted cord and untie each knot. Today, Wiccans and Neo Pagans use witch’s ladders primarily in healing, binding, and wish-granting rituals. They can also be used to “bind the thirteen moons of the year,” purportedly to allow the witch to better work weather and nature magic, and to open the doorway to the Faery realm.  Knot magick spells are numerous and aim to achieve many different outcomes. The current view held by many Wiccans is seen in this poem by Wiccan poet Enadus:  A knot is not a useless thing It keeps in place with rope and string Not all kept is hard or soft Knots can keep wishes, hope and thoughts Held by magick knots we make For life

What is a Spell

casting_a_spell casting_a_spell

A spell is a magickal formula, which can be written or spoken which is intended to cause or influence a particular state or event. The belief in magicks and spell is worldwide and since ancient times has been part of religious practice. The basic premise of a spell is to raise energy and releasing that energy to cause an effect, Many spells are based on ritual. Spells are very closely related to prayers in the sense that the caster of the spell would call on the aid of a deity for success In magicks the spell can be successful with out a deity’s a persons own will is strong enough to cause the effect but only the arrogant would not call for guidance from a spirit, deity or any other divine source. Spells do not need formal ritual or circles to be successful. Using mental powers including mediation and visualisation and positive thought for spells is commonplace, as well as daily ritual spells such as lighting a candle, self-affirmations. The purpose of a spell is down to the person casting it this can be for good or bad and can be for any purpose but be careful for what you wish for you might just get it. A good spell is used for positive purposes is called a blessing, a bewitchment (which can also be used for negative magicks) and an enchantment, although enchantment is a spell form of it own it is a spell chanted or sung to empower an object or person (this
