  ~ What is the Celtic Tree Calendar? ~

  The Celtic Tree Calendar is a calendar with thirteen lunar divisions. Most contemporary Pagans use fixed dates for each "month", rather than following the waxing and waning lunar cycle. If this was done, eventually the calendar would fall out of sync with the Gregorian year, because some calendar years have 12 full moons and others have 13. The modern tree calendar is based on a concept that letters in the ancient Celtic Ogham alphabet corresponded to a tree.

  Although you don't have to follow a Celtic path to celebrate the Celtic tree calendar months, you'll find that each of the themes in the Celtic tree months ties strongly to Celtic culture and mythology.

  The Coven Avalon ~ Daily Pagan Recipe
  ~ Triple Goddess Elixir ~

  The Goddess lives all around you. Bottle her up with this ancient remedy, reputed to be at least six thousand years old, from The Yellow Emperor, a healing text from China.

  Triple Goddess Elixir (my name for it) is said to be curative for any problem that a woman encounters. It can dissolve cysts in the ovaries and breasts, regulate menses, ease menopausal symptoms, strengthen the nerves and the heart, and increase serenity as well.

  I love the vinegar on salads. I reserve the tincture for tough cases.

  Make it now, before the motherwort leaves get too bitter and the chickweed goes to seed. Yes, go outside right now and harvest your herbs and make it. Timing is of the essence for the herbalist. And while you’re outside, look up and enjoy these trees of the rose family.

  Susun — www.susunweed.com

  * Triple Goddess Elixir

  Harvest equal parts maidenwort (Stellaria media) [photo 1], motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) [photo 2], and cronewort (Artemisia vulgaris) [photo 3]. Use stalks and leaves of chickweed and motherwort. Use the white roots of the cronewort as well as the leaves.

  Gather your plants [photo 4] and cut into manageable pieces. Fill a jar 1/3 full of the maiden, [photo 5], then 1/3 full of the mother [photo 6], then the final 1/3 with the crone. Add vinegar or 100 proof vodka. [photo 7] Seal, label, and wait six weeks until use.

  The dose is a tablespoonful of vinegar in water or on food; or a dropperful of tincture taken two or three times a day.

This is the basis of all Dragon rituals in the practice of Dragon Magick. The practicing magician can insert his / her own music, dance, meditation, or personal rituals that they have written in appropriate places without disrupting the flow of energy. When you read through this ritual you will see that certain things are to be done at certain times other than that the Magician can do what feels right to her / him. It is important that you have all the appropriate tools and materials you will need before starting. Make any preparations so that nothing disturbs you. If you are practicing decreasing Magick it is important to remember that anywhere in the ritual that it says “circle clockwise”, you should circle counter clockwise. Another way of doing this is to cast a clockwise outer circle with a counter clockwise inner circle.

Setting up Ritual :

Begin the ritual by going to the East, with sword in power hand “draw” Magickal circle on floor around ritual area. This is done by pointing sword at the floor and seeing great flames shooting from it. Move clockwise around the circle with this flame ; end by overlapping it in the East. While drawing the circle, say: By Dragon Power, This Circle is Sealed.

Return to the altar. Point the Sword at Dragon Pentacle and say:

Dragons of Spirit, Highest of Dragons and Most Powerful, Bless This Altar With Your Fire. Let Us Be One In Magick, O Dragons Great and Wise.

Set the Water Chalice on the pentacle. With the wand in power hand, circle the chalice three times clockwise with the wand and say: Air, Fire, Earth, Bring Power Forth. Water Of Land and Sea, Purified Be.

Hold the Chalice high and say:

Draconis! Draconis! Draconis!

Sprinkle the water lightly around the circled area beginning and ending in the

East. Set the dish of salt on the Pentacle. Circle it three times clockwise with the wand and say:

Water, Air, Fire, Hear My Desire. Salt of Earth and Sea, Purified Be.

Sprinkle a few grains of salt to each corner of the altar. Circle the incense burner three times with the wand, say:

Fire of Dragons, Fire of Earth, You Are Purified. Bring Power Forth.

Circle the Incense and Herbs three times clockwise with the wand, say:

Incense Magickal, Incense Bold, Awake The Dragons, As Of Old. I Call You Purified.

Put a small amount of incense onto the burning coals. Lift the burner by the chains and touch it lightly to the Pentacle. Lift it high over the altar, say:

Draconis! Draconis! Draconis!

Then carry it clockwise around the circle, beginning and ending in the East. Return the burner to the Altar. Take up Sword in both hands and kneel before the Altar. Mentally dedicate self to the study of Dragon Magick. Project your interest and love for Dragons as strongly as possible. Continue doing so for several minutes, then rise and point the Sword at the Dragon Pentacle and say with power and confidence:

Behold, All Dragons and Rulers of Dragons, I am (magickal name), a Magician Who Seeks Dragon Magick. With (name of Sword) In My Hand, I Enter the Realm of The Dragons, Not For Physical Battle, But For Knowledge and Power. I Greet You, O Dragons Ancient and Wise, and Await Your Blessing and Guidance. Continue holding the Sword outstretched until you feel the blessing of the Dragons. It is for this reason that a light sword is best used in ritual. When the flowing power of the Dragons Blessing has lessened, lower the sword. Still holding the sword in Power hand, take up the Dragon Pentacle in the other and go to the East. Point the sword at the Eastern position and hold the Pentacle facing outward. Draw a Invoking Pentagram with the Sword (see illustration), say:

From Sairys (sair’-iss), Ruler Of The Eastern Dragons Fair, Comes Now The

Wondrous Power Of Air

Invoking Pentagram

Feel the power of Air entering body with sword outstretched. When the flow stops, go to the South. Hold up the Dragon Pentacle again , draw an invoking

Pentagram with the Sword, say:

From Fafnir (faf’-near),Ruler Of Dragons Of The South, Comes Cleansing Fire From Dragon Mouth

Note: Feel the power of Fire entering body and when it stops go to the next direction. Repeat the process of Holding up the Dragon Pentacle and drawing a invoking pentagram for each of the directions. Go to the West, say:

From Naelyan (nail’-yon) Ruler Of Dragons Of The West, Comes The Power Of Water

Draw into the body the power of Water. Go to the North and say:

From Grael (grail), Ruler Of Dragons Of The North, The Power Of Earth Does Now

Come Forth

Draw into oneself the power of Earth. When it stops return to the Altar, lay aside the Sword and Dragon Pentacle. Add the appropriate herbal incense to the incense burner according to the ritual you are performing. At this point insert the appropriate chants and workings for the particular spellworking or meditation to be performed. If there is a problem that is unsolveable by physical means or by magic then now is also the time to ask the Dragons for advice on how to solve it. The Dragons are able to give new insight into ways of solving it. Continue to feel their power and direction as their directions are written down. When finished with the spellworking, tap staff three times and chant:

I Thank You, Dragons Old And Wise, Of Earth And Fire, Water, Skies, For Sharing Wisdom Here With Me. As We Will, So Shall It Be

Always approach the Dragons as Equals not as a force to be ordered or conquered.

Set the Wine Chalice on the Pentacle. Circle it three times with the wand, say:

Cup Of Power, Cup Of Might, Dragon Magick, Be Here This Night

Drink the Wine (apple cider or grape juice may be substituted if unable to drink wine), saving back some to be poured outside on the ground later as an offering to the Dragons. If it is not possible to pour the offering outside then leave it on the Altar for about an hour, after closing your ritual. Now is the an excellent time to chant and use free-form dancing and invite the Dragons to share in the raised energy and joy of being a Magician. Talk to them about hopes and dreams, listen to see if they have suggestions or words of encouragement.

This is an opportunity for close friendships to be forged.

Closing the Ritual

To close the ritual, take the sword and go to each of the directions draw a banishing pentagram (see illustration) and say the appropriate words for that direction

Banishing Pentagram

To the East, say:

Go In Peace, Dragons Of The East, And Return Again In The Ritual Hour

To the South, say:

Go In Peace, Dragons Of The South, And Return Again In The Ritual Hour

To the West, say:

Go In Peace, Dragons Of The West, And Return Again In The Ritual Hour

To the North, say

Go In Peace, Dragons Of The North, And Return Again In the Ritual Hour

Return to the Altar. Raise both arms, say:

Farewell To You, O Dragons Fair, Fire, Water, Earth, and Air.Together We Make Magick Well By Power Deep and Dragon Spell. In Peace Go Now. Return Once More To Teach Me Magick and Ancient Lore.

Draconis! Draconis! Draconis!

Cut the circle with a backward sweep of the Sword across the boundary line.

Extinguish the candles. Clear the Altar of all tools except any offerings to the Dragons if unable to pour outside.

This ritual is the basis of any and all rituals of Dragon Magick. Any specific spell workings need to be placed within this framework at the appropriate times.

You will need:

• 2 white candles anointed with sandalwood oil.
• 1 purple candle anointed with sandalwood oil.
• Photo or personal articles of the person the spell is for
• “Personality ” candle, appropriate to the recipient of the spell
• Sandalwood incense

Altar should be arranged as below:

_____________________________________________________________________ | | | O (white candle) O (Personality candle) O (purple candle | | (1) (3) (4) | | | | O (white candle) Photos or personal object O (incense) | | (2) (5) | | | _____________________________________________________________________ 

Light white candles (1& 2)light personality candle (3) light purple candle (4), light incense (5).Repeat the following invocation:

“Hail Mother of the World!
Nanna, Isis, Astarte, Selene, Holy Sin (pronounced Sheen).
See me, look upon me
See me, look upon me
See me, look upon me
Protect me and my people tonight.
Send your white light around me.
Send your protective light around ______________
That they may be protected
As they travel and as they dream.
Send only good and lucid energies their way.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.

You can either let the candles burn out by themselves, or snuff them in reverse order and let them burn a little each night if the person will be on an extended trip. On the last night let them burn down on their own. NEVER blow our or pinch out the candles. This destroys the luck.

I can remember when I was first starting that I wanted all the best tools but money was an issues so I used to troll around car boot sales, charity shops and flea market trying to find things that I could use for my alter. You will quite surprised on what you can pick up for just a few quid.

Over the years I have replaced all my second had stuff with brand new stuff and some of it is more pretty that practical (who does not have a chalice with a loose liner) but it makes me think what tools do you really need? To be really honest you don’t really need any tools, fingers can replace wands and athames and a chalice can be replaced by cup etc.

You can spend thousands of pounds buying robes; alter statues, wands, athames, Chalices, Crystals to dress your altar,pots and dishes and  cauldrons  and pointless things like hand bound virgin parchment paper leather bound book of shadows but having expensive tools does not make you a good witch or even a competent witch. When building your tools worry more about what feels like than what it looks like, just remember to cleanse second hand items full before use.

So what do you need for a basic alter from my point of view a candle and a joss stick works fine but if want to add more to that then you can. Here are some ideas for low cost replacements to expensive altar equipment.

I have found that I have better rituals with altar equipment that I have created myself they may not be the prettiest but they have all the energy that I poured into them when made them.

A good idea is to join a pottery class and make what you need. Remember that no one has the right to tell you should not put something on your alter create what you feel is right for yourself.

When your first trying out a pagan path there are two very good reasons why you should create your own personal tools rather than buy direct from a catalogue or internet shop, the first is it will help you empower the items with greater ease due to your personal connection the second is paganism is not for everyone and why spend a fortune on something your not going to continue.

There is one thing that never seems to get mentioned in regards to altars and that a tape deck MP3 Player or CD player as music is important in raising energy I will chat about music in rituals in next posting, but insure what ever technology you use to play your music just make sure it is ease to control and that you can pause and play with out to much trouble.

  The Fumigation from Storax.

  I call Einodian Hecate, lovely dame,
  Of earthly, watery, and celestial frame,
  Sepulchral, in a saffron veil arrayed,
  Pleased with dark ghosts that wander thro' the shade;
  Persian, unconquerable huntress hail!
  The world's key-bearer never doomed to fail;
  On the rough rock to wander thee delights,
  Leader and nurse be present to our rites;
  Propitious grant our just desires success,
  Accept our homage, and the incense bless.

  THE SADNESS OF THE MOON by Charles Baudelaire
  THE Moon more indolently dreams to-night
  Than a fair woman on her couch at rest,
  Caressing, with a hand distraught and light,
  Before she sleeps, the contour of her breast.

  Upon her silken avalanche of down,
  Dying she breathes a long and swooning sigh;
  And watches the white visions past her flown,
  Which rise like blossoms to the azure sky.

  And when, at times, wrapped in her languor deep,
  Earthward she lets a furtive tear-drop flow,
  Some pious poet, enemy of sleep,

  Takes in his hollow hand the tear of snow
  Whence gleams of iris and of opal start,
  And hides it from the Sun, deep in his heart.

  ~ Pyewacket ~

  Pyewacket was one of the familiar spirits of a witch detected by the "witchfinder general" Matthew Hopkins in March 1644 in the town of Manningtree, Essex, England. Hopkins claimed he spied on the witches as they held their meeting close by his house, and heard them mention the name of a local woman. She was arrested and deprived of sleep for four nights, at the end of which she confessed and called out the names of her familiars, describing the forms in which they should appear. They were:

  * Holt, "who came in like a white kittling"

  * Jarmara, "who came in like a fat Spaniel without any legs at all"

  * Vinegar Tom, "who was like a long-legg'd greyhound, with a head like an Oxe"

  * Sacke and Sugar, "like a black Rabbet"

  * Newes, "like a Polecat"(a Polecat is a type of weasle.)

  * Elemanzer, Pyewacket, Peck in the Crown, Grizzel Greedigut, described as imps

  Hopkins claims he and nine other witnesses saw the first five of these, which appeared in the forms described by the witch. Only the first of these was in the form of a cat; the next two were dogs, and the others were a black rabbit and a polecat – so Pyewacket was, presumably, not a cat's name. As for the other familiars, Hopkins says only that they were such that "no mortall could invent." The incident is described in Hopkins's pamphlet "The Discovery of Witches" (1647).

  In the 1958 film "Bell, Book and Candle", Pyewacket is the name of Gillian Holroyd's Siamese cat/familiar.

  In the 2008 computer game "A Vampyre Story", Pyewacket is the name of the familiar of the (missing, presumed dead) sorceress that used to own the castle where the game begins. She is a large Siamese cat with a marked resemblance to Max of Steve Purcell's Sam & Max, a nod to the fact that many of the people who worked on the game were once employed at Lucasarts.

  Pamela Green, the preeminent British nude model of the 1950s, had a cat called Pyewacket. She was an active member of Spielplatz Naturist Club in Bricket Wood as was Gerald Gardner, who established his first coven there. Ross Nichols, founder of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids used to visit the club as well. In addition Pamela Green had a boat named Pyewacket. In 1960 she featured in a short 8mm film called Witches Brew under the name of Rita Landre.

  The world of the druids
  THE DRUIDS came from Britain, according to Caesar. Cæsar merely says, "it is thought (existimatur) that Druidism came to Gaul from Britain." It was a pious opinion, perhaps his own, or one based on the fact that those who wished to perfect themselves in Druidic art went to Britain. This may have been because Britain had been less open to foreign influences than Gaul, and its Druids, unaffected by these, were thought to be more powerful than those of Gaul. Pliny, on the other hand, seems to think that Druidism passed over into Britain from Gaul. After the recent discovery of the ‘temple’ on Orkney, some archaeologists have been debating whether, in the millennia before the Iron Age, Orkney influenced Stonehenge and that the direction of religious trends came from north to south.

  Helios

  I am the light
  I bring warmth and fire
  I bring light and illumination
  Into the dark corners of the stable

  I bring the glow of fire
  The patterns in the flames
  The muse of dancing shapes
  The scent of wood-smoke
  The sound of crackling embers

  I originate from a spark
  Flint against steel, sun through quartz
  And fed with downy tinder
  I will grow

  Tended with intent
  Nurtured and fed
  I will grow and blaze

  I am the heat that splits the desert rocks
  But also the warmth that draws seeds to flower in the cracks
  I am the blaze that melts the ice
  From the rigid freezer round the heart
  And drips it, dropp by drop
  Into the pool below
  Sending ripples ever outward
  I move mountains to dust
  To fertilise the fields
  And feed the lush oases

  I am Bel, the warrior queen
  Drawing forth life where none exists
  But also frying the weak and stunted
  Courage is my other side
  The fire that leaps
  Where angels fear to tread
  The lightning strike
  That splits the tower
  And frees the captive
  Aethyrs from the dungeon deep.

  But where to find the spark?
  It is a gift from the sun within.
  I am the source,
  The starting point,
  The dot,
  The spark,
  The moment of transformation

  Release me,
  I am the Ace of Wands
  And yours by right

  Tony Beckingham
