The Moon is high at the witching hour,
Children come to this place of power;
Our hands are raised to four directions,
Spirit force is born again.

Amazing Grapes

Amazing grapes, how sweet the taste
That fed a lush like me
I drank too much wine at Festival
and lost my virginity

T’was grapes that taught my friends to cringe
Through grapes, my stress relieved
Obnoxious words come out my mouth
That you would not believe

Through many vinyards east and west
I have thus come so far
The grapevine has brought me comfort sure
While driving in my car

Amazing grapes, how sweet the taste
That fed a lush like me
I drank too much wine at Wiccan Fest
and lost my virginity

How sweet the sound of popping corks
To this great lover’s ear
It sooths the thirst upon my tongue
Don’t drink it after beer

Most raisins shrivel in the sun
While other grapes go free
Lets give the juice to everyone
Especially to me

Amazing grapes, how sweet the taste
That fed a lush like me
I drank too much wine at Ravenwood
and lost my virginity

I drank too much wine at Winter Star
And lost my virginity

Sung to the traditional Amazing Grace

Lyrics by: Pasha, “Pasha and the Pagans” 1993.

Ah Way Ya Hey

Ah way ah hey, ah way ah hey
I fly a hey, I fly a hey
Become the sun, the moon and stars
Way up I fly, I hey I hi

Closing Song

By the air that is her breath
By the fire of her bright spirit
By the waters of her womb
By the earth that is her body

Our circle is open yet unbroken
May the peace (love, joy) of the Goddess

Merry meet, and merry part and merry meet again

Moon Phase Chant

Where is the Moon when the Moon is new?
It’s a sliver to the right getting bigger every night

Where is the Moon when the Moon is round?
Rising as the sun is going down

Where is the Moon when the Moon is waning?
Sliver to the left till there’s no Moon remaining

Wiccan Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the earth
That formed (bore) a witch like me
I once was burned, now I survive
Was hanged but now I sing. (I’m free)

T’was grace that drew down the Moon
And grace that raised the sea
The magic of the people’s will
Will set our Mother free

The Cyber Cauldron

Pagan 300x274 The Cyber Cauldron The Cyber Cauldron is about the rituals rites and daily life of a solitary gay witch Draco of the Dragon Star (that me by the way) I have been a pagan now for about 27 years and have worked in groups large and small.

As for my path i would describe myself as a sharmanic eclectic hedge witch or Wiccan’esk partly because over the years i have found things that have worked from other traditions and have blended them into my own path.

Since i am a homosexual i have fairly balanced sexual energies which helps working alone with the divine forms of the Goddess and God, working all male groups / female heavy groups i only seem to have very minor issues if i work in traditional wiccan groups (due to some prejudice) .

I hope with this site to inspire and teach as well as be taught by sharing my insights to living with Magick in your life. i will cover things like mediation techniques, spell casting, tarot reading, healing and my understanding of the Goddess and the God and their different aspects.

I will also provide rituals and spells along with jokes and musing. Over the years i have gathered many spell and rituals and I can not remember where i picked them up from but will share some with you.

The Words mean more

Pentagram of Solomon 150x150 The Words mean moreOne of my favourite Chants is a chant that I heard off a film many years ago called the Charm of Making, now for whatever reason has remained part of my book of shadows as a chant to raise energies till this day.

Part of the reason for the charm of making remains is because it feels authentic. The Charm of making appears in the film Excalibur and is composed in Old Irish by Michael Everson a linguist of high standing.

Although the charm has been rumoured to be an ancient Celtic Charm, or Gaelic Charm or even an ancient Welsh Druid spell none of these rumours have any historical or academic evident that cant be disrepute with ease.

If we just accept that The Charm of Making is a well crafted set of words written in Old Irish to portray magickal intent on screen does not remove the power that these words have:-

The Words – The Charm of Making

Old Irish Translation to English
Anáil nathrach,orth bhais betha,do cheol déanta.Pronounced anal nathrak, uthvas bethud, do che-ol di-enve Serpent’s breath, charm of death and life, thy omen of makingMary Jones’s translates as
Breath of the serpent, spell of life, the song for the maker.OrBreath of serpent, spell of death and life, your song of making.
To here Charm of making as spoken in film see video above

Just by saying the words a few times over you can already feel the energies build (or well at least I can) as you do with any chant or Charm.

Their many be many Neo pagans who might fill that grabbing a few words off of a movie and putting in a book of shadows and using them in ritual would be wrong as they have no place being their as the made up and rubbish. But many more agree with me words only have power as long as you give them power and the more power you give them the stronger they get.

Taking words from a film script or play scripts are nothing new, Eko! Eko! Azarak! Eko! Eko! Zomelak! Come from the text from the play Le Miracle de Théophile according to Pennethorne Hughes who is a professional historian and student of witchcraft. But it does seem that we are much happier to copy spells, charms and chants down from written source the older and dustier the better than to dictate something from a visual media such as a play or film. Probably because when you watch a film you never seem to have a pen handy.

I do personally feel that not all films spells and chants can be used effectively “ you could never find a use for “Salicadoola, Menchicaboola, Bippity Boppity Boo!”” but film spells Mystical charms and chants they can be a good source of inspiration to help you develop your own spell incantations and charms and chants. They can help with timing and with just a few changes to the original text you can have a truly unique spell or chant, which is personal and has a very familiar feel and should be very effective.

Remember in life and not just in magicks “It’s not what you say! That counts; it’s how you say it! That matters!”

Heretic heart

Heartagram 150x150 Heretic heartI am a bold and pagan soul travelling through this land,

I judged the world by my own light and I come by my and hand,

and in wish you would ask me where I have learned to live so recklessly,

my skin, bone, my heretic heart are my authority.

My mother was a spin-off of tails,

my father a dreaming man,

and I have swung on the Dragon’s tongue and danced on holy land,

I have sown the seeds about the ground and sung the birds down from the trees,

my skin my bone in my heretic hearts are my authority.

Once I was found but now I’m gone away from the faithful fold,

the ones who preach that holiness is to do as you are told,

through law and scripture, priest and prayer have all instructed me,

my skill in my burn my heretic heart are my authority.

Now they tell me Jesus loves me,

I think he loves in vain,

he must go unrequited on me he has no claim,

for the man who would command me must wear the horn and let me be,

my skin that my burn my heretic heart are my authority.

And while I breath this glorious air and outlaw I’ll remain,

my body will not be subdued and I will not be saved,

and if I cannot shouted loud I will sing it secretly,

my skin my bone my heretic heart are my authority.

Catherine Madsen wrote and it’s one of my favourite poems.

Drawing down the moon

blue moon 150x150 Drawing down the moonAll ye assembled at mine shrine, Mother Darksome and Divine.

Mine the Scourge and mine the Kiss, Here I charge you in this sign.

All you assembled in my sight, Bow before my spirit bright.

Aphrodite, Arianhod, Lover of the Horned God.

Mighty Queen of Witchery and night,

Morgan, Erione, Nisene, Diana, Bridgid, Melusine,

Am I named of old by men, Artemis and Cerridwen,

Hell’s dark mistress, Heaven’s Queen.

Ye who ask of me a rune, Or would ask of me a boon,

Meet me in some secret glade, Dancing round in greenwood shade.

By the light of the Full Moon.

In a place wild and lone, Dance about mine altar stone,

Work my holy mystery, Ye who are feign to sorcery.

I bring ye secrets yet unknown.

No more shall ye know slavery, who give true worship unto me.

Ye who tread my round on Sabbat night,

come ye naked to my rite, in token that ye be really free.

I teach ye the mystery of rebirth, work ye my mysteries in mirth.

Heart joined to heart and lip to lip,

five are the points of fellowship,

that bring ye ecstasy on earth,

for I am the circle of rebirth.

I ask no sacrifice, but do vow,

no other Law but love I know,

By naught but love may I be known.

All things living are mine own,

from me they come, to me they go.

I invoke Thee and call upon Thee Mighty Mothers of us all.

Bringer of Fruitfulness by seed and by root.

I invoke Thee by stem and bud.

I invoke Thee by life and love

and call upon Thee to descend into the body

of this Thy Priestess and Servant.

Hear with her ears, speak with her tongue,

touch with her hands, kiss with her lips,

that thy servants may be fulfilled.

How Spells Work

binding love spell 150x150 How Spells WorkThe first thing any spell or magick needs is a purpose or directs a desired out come. With that in mind then comes the ritual this may be done in or out side a sacred space depending on type of spell being cast. Spells may be in the form of a dance or acting out the desire outcome as in sympathetic magicks, or construction of potions or talismans or even by spoken rhythmic words in the form of Enchantments. The power of the word is very important magicks it is known that ancient god names when pronounced correctly imbue great power into a spell.

The aim next is to raise enough energy to caused the desired effect this raising of energy will take many forms such as dancing singing, chanting and mental skills and tools and ingredient. Once the energy has been built to it maximum it is the release or directed to it goal.

In Neo pagan and Wiccan groups spell casting is preformed in a magick circle at most coven meetings and although techniques vary the spell is normally written so everyone know what they are doing so that everyone energy is focused on the goal. The act of writing a spell help make it real by giving substance.

During these spell casting the quarters would be call the deities invited participants will follow the script of the ritual which would be learned before hand. Singing, dancing, drums will all add to the ritual energy raising and once built the energy would be released and the quarters and deities would be thanked and released.

The Moon and her guises

 

moon phases 150x150 The Moon and her guises Lunar deities can be male or female and these deities can also change to become solar deities and vice versa. For me the moon is a visual representation of the female aspect of the Devine and not “The” or “A” goddess but all goddess’s: the total female aspect.�
There are physical representations of “woman” in the moon cycle 29.53 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes) very close to a woman menstrual cycle. Also the  [wikipedia]phases of the moon [/wikipedia] resembles the life cycles with in womanhood, aging,  [wikipedia]pregnancy [/wikipedia] and  [wikipedia]menopause [/wikipedia] and all aspects of life.�
The Phase of the moon can also be attuned to the seasons and spell casting as well as your own life. It is a good idea to keep a moon diary and make note of your moods, your menstrual cycle or your own internal cycle.

Below is how I see the phases of the moon as a solitary practitioner I have to attune myself to myself for magickal working while groups attune to the group energy each group or person will have their own view of the moon and every single one is a correct view.�
The New Moon�
For me the new is the beginning and the end it contains all the hidden mysteries of woman and all the worst aspects of woman the side that when evoked is feared.�
First Quarter
For me this aspect relates to the maiden aspect of the goddess because of the new possibilities and the sense of growth and understanding and the potential of new energy.�
There is always a sense of silliness for me around this time for me, which I enjoy.�
For me this phase of the moon relates to spring the hope of new beginnings, growing in strength, becoming fertile and this will reflect on what spell or rituals I plan to perform during the new moon.�
In the first quarter I would cast spells for strengthening will power, health or financial situations.�
Full Moon
For me the is very much the mother aspect of the goddess, each time I look on the full moon I can feel the smile of a loving mother watching over me. For me the full moon fills me with a sense that I am protected someone is always lighting my way, and my back is always covered.�
For me this phase of the moon relates to the summer and transformations, relaxation, friendship, and taking some personal time. Personally I do not cast spells during the full moon unless there is an emergency but I do perform ritual where the focus is to gain understanding and patience and learn to accept the life that I have been given and that changes what will happens when it is right like a mother waiting to give birth it will happen when it meant to not before or after with whatever results are meant to be.�
The last quarter.
This phase of the moon always reminds me of my mother in the last few years of her life. She had found her soul mate had a nice home and mellowed so much as a person and she had become friend and confidant but she still had a vicious side.

She was mother, stepmother and grandmother and dying with an understanding the she was passing away a crone.

This phase for me relates to autumn and the slow death of nature the weakening of the sun the whole winding down.

The rituals and spells I would perform in this phase would be spells or rituals to weaken or end things in healing ritual I would work to lessen the illness (NB; always work to weaken illness never symptoms, weaken or reducing symptoms can make the person worse as your spell will mask the illness).

The New Moon

And we are back to the new moon and in this phase I see the in a number of ways first I see the true crone stepping in to death I see the maiden and the mother I see all the contradiction, life and death, I see the eternity of unknown knowledge, the darkness of fear.

This phase to me is winter the thing that becomes hidden a time for withdrawal and darkness.

This would be the time to do protection spells; this would also be the time to perform darker magicks such as spells for personal gain, bindings or insuring that people get what is coming to them. If you do decide to work darker magicks beware the rule of three what you send out comes back threefold.

Honour the Goddess in all things and view the moon as a living photo of the mother gaze on it daily and connect with the moon as a huge power source of cosmic female energy and not as a living deity.
