Everything Under the Moon

Last fall I had found my patron Deity, Odin. He's tough, but fair. And he certainly doesn't do any of the work for you, but he'll assist in providing the strength for what you wish to accomplish... Anyway, I've been wanting to try and focus my craft on Old Norse Witchcraft, such as that of a Volva. ...

Well I usually do offer him a wine or a strong drink. And I managed to keep the fur and skulls of 2 of the rabbits. I'll keep them either on my altar or use them for Rituals once I get them tanned and cleaned. As far as I understand, Odin is a very tough God. Maybe his signs are just brutal and up f...

So I've been researching and dabbling with Paganism most of my life, but haven't really dived into it or claimed it until about April or May of 2016. I was originally drawn to Celtic or Norse Germanic Deities, and with more researching, I decided to try working with Odin. So let me tell you about my...

Although the Raven is not my totem, it is my Boyfriend's, as well as a potential totem of a Deity that might be talking with me. Maybe a little over a year ago him and I traveled to Ruidoso, NM. As soon as we arrived, we were welcomed by a pair of large Ravens calling at us. It was chilling and exhi...

As we all know [or in case you didn't know,] there is a Full Moon tonight, let alone a Super Moon. I was just curious as to everyone's plans; if you were performing a ritual or any spells, and if so, what those rituals or spells involve? Tonight is a big night for me. Tonight I'm communicating with ...

Yeah, from what I'm reading, Aloe is one of the easiest plants to care for. With it being a desert plant, it doesn't need terribly much watering. Sage seems to do okay in desert ares, too. Here's some photos of my little herbs. Unfortunately sharing a pot isn't too much of an option until I manage t...

I didn't think about that, thanks. It looks like if you want natural pesticides, Himalayan salt dissolved in warm water and used a a spray keeps away spider mites... And Eucalyptus is good for general ants and such. Just in case anyone else wanted to know. I also think I heard that Peppermint or Cin...

Actually I just researched sage and it seems to be pretty hardy up to -20 degrees F. The others only about 30 degrees. I forgot that about coffee grounds... I guess ill start scooping out our K-Cups. Herbs like to live in a a pot together. If that's not possible they can still live in separate pots....

Next to my Work Place there are two Garden Centers. One of which was preparing for the incoming cold and just put up a 50% OFF ALL PLANTS sale sometime in the past 2 days. How can a Witch refuse? I'm a little nervous due to the upcoming cold, but from what I can tell, the plants I got are either fai...

Tea is a good idea. Or even coffee, I suppose. I'll have to try that. I wouldn't be the most comfortable eating anything with commercial inks or paints in them, but there are lots of ways to make magical inks and use them with a dip pen. Here's an older thread about magical inks. Seraphin shared his...

There's always Witch Bottles? I'm not too sure of a spell or ritual for this, but I can give you a list of herbs that you might be able to use, according to Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs. Hopefully this helps, even if only a little bit. Halt Gossip: - Clove - Slippery Elm Break Hexes: -...

What about the best ink to use? Or are most regular pens non-toxic?

Lots of Traditional Folk Music and Jigs. Particularly Blowzabella.

I've been in love ever since I heard and and gotten to see a Hurdy Gurdy/Wheel Fiddle and broke down to buy one. However it won't be finished until February... at least in the meantime I have a cheap one to play with. So exciteddddd.

I'm a huge hypocrite when it comes to this, but try to be patient. Accepting the Pagan World and trying to make sense of it all is a lot if you try to take it all in at once. Try and take a step back and breathe. I watched a lot of videos at first on YouTube by some great Witches; HerSpeak [Has no P...

And I'm in the process of nailing down who it is. I only remember a brief moment from my dream last night, but here it is: I was given [but by whom, I could not see] a large seed; almost the size of a baseball. It vaguely resembled an acorn in shape, but without the top. It had a similar amber color...
