Everything Under the Moon

Merry meet everyone ! I was wondering if -and how- anyone of you celebrate their birthday in a more pagan way. Since mine is coming up very soon, I was thinking about doing something special, especially since it is my coming of age. And also, it might be really interesting to see and learn how birth...

For Ostara, I think i'll go with cooking, decorating my room with flowers, straight from the garden. I know that my parents are preparing the soil for our future plants and vegetables; so I'm thinking about plating seeds or flowers as an offering and also as a reminder for myself not to doubt too mu...

Klia, once again starting very interesting conversation ! :) It quite echoes with me, since we study this kind of life creation/existence belief in philosophy class. Faithful people -strongly into religion- may believe that God created the universe with a finality, the end of times. Some may belive ...

Thank you all for the kind words. I actually can't wait for the first blossoms and my dream catcher to put in here. I feel like a beaver somehow, but well, it feels like home. I also added some "bouquet" of those same braches near my atlar and the windows of my room. I could actually use a...

Hello everyone, long time no see! Since the celebrations for Imbolc were discontinued, I did a little thing as a headboard with wood and straw that came from a friend's garden. He didn't need the wood he cut from one of his tree, so I decided to take them. i didn't know what to do with it, so I deci...

I must agree with Heartsong and Obsidian on Scott Cunningham, for a first book on the wiccan path, he is one of my favorite. While the information are basic, they are exactly what we need as an introduction for wicca. His writing style is definitely one of his good point, he also talk a lot about ho...

I am doing something quite simple for my first celebrated Sabbat (family oblige). I plan to make a dairy based meal such as cheesecake and crêpes, and a plate of cheese. If the weather is kinder than now, i might be able to go outside under the moon, but no bonfire. I am not sure it is authorized he...

Merry meet everyone ! I have seen a lot of threads about relationships with the Elements, Deities and Divinity, psychic powers and supernatural beings. And also about relationships between two differents religions or beliefs, and how they can or could fit alongside each other. But what about your pe...

Hello ! Well, I think the answer to your question is quite easy. Wicca, and many other Pagan paths, are highly individual, in the way we practice and view it, about the relation we can have with Divinity, our Patron Deities, and all supernatural beings we choose to believe in. It is what makes this ...

Well, what a treasure of a post. It is really an interesting subject, but quite nebulous too. I believe that everyone has a part -big or small- of this gift. A sensibility given at birth (I go really well with the DNA bit) -babies and children seem to have a greater sensibility, since they wonder at...

Hello ! I'm beside Phoenix on this one. Many believes that burying perishable tools -papers which are essentially burned if used in a spell or ritual, leaves, or even food as offerings- is a good way to dispose of them. It may be linked to the cycle of life, and return to the earth; but it also allo...

@Klia : well, you also hit the center of my feelings. Sometimes, I just feel like you, questioning my faith and path, but when I look to everything I wrote, or sometimes just at the moon -who shines just above my window-, and it all come back to me. How right it is for me, and why I've chosen this r...

Thank you again for your quick answers! @Valmont. Well, books and TVs sur get my imagination working, but I don't think it is the primary cause. Or really, I just would be a bundle of daydream and walk-in story aha Not that I would mind, but to work, it isn't what is best! But... the idea of Psychic...

Thank you all for your quick answers! That really helped in the midst of those really bothering coulds of thoughts. And again, thank you Heartsong, the exercise really helped. Well, for a few hours, but at least I could concentrate a little more on a basic meditation exercise. I'll keep doing it eve...

Merry meet and many blessings from the New Year everyone ! I am still not certain whether this will be the best forum used to ask my questions, but i'll give it a shot. Since Yule, and vacations, I find my mind having difficulties on focussing -beyond the laziness that comes with some students druin...
