Everything Under the Moon

Ahh, I feel you. I guess the situation is similar in every slavic country, Yana. Here they're of course bashing Halloween for being a "western satanic pagan holiday". And you know what they came up with? I laughed my ass off when I found out, seriously. They're organizing "Holy Wins&q...

i have. ive tried reassuring him. hes afraid that while hes gone, ill do what his ex wife has done and cheat. hes afraid that a few months from now ill realize i cant handle the distance and leave and leave him brokenhearted. hes afraid to try. he wants to be with me hes just scared. weve talked ab...

Ohh, that's interesting! I've never heard of the sun tea before - it's brilliant. Definitely going to try the herbal tea alternative during the Summer (in 7-8 months ._.)
Thanks for sharing the recipe and happy Beltane to you, Springsgrace!

Ahh, interesting point here, SnowCat. Just to make things clear: Even though the word "consecrating" might lead to some christian-related connotations for some people, it is not really related to christianity. People from all kinds of traditions used to consecrate their magickal tools befo...

The process you described above will only cleanse/purify the ring. It is definitely going to be a strong cleansing, as you're going to cleanse it with all four elements. But after you do that you also need to consecrate it to serve your purpose. You probably know this but I'm going to mention anyway...

Agreed, there was a lot of generalization in this documentary, but hey - the target audience are people who probably know nothing (except the "evil witch" stereotype) about witchcraft so we can't really complain. I think the documentary does the job - it shows people that witchcraft is not...

I PMed you Kolulu

Sweet question :3 In my opinion and experience mind reading is not what we stereotypically think it is. It's not like your mind is an open book that anyone can read if they posess the ability to do that and you can't do anything about that. Nonono ;) Let's simplify the whole vast concept a bit and d...

Oh wow, I love your take on the elven ears, Xiao! I saw a few other versions in the past but I've got to admit I like yours the most.
You should seriously open an Etsy shop, girl!

Now I'm wondering how would it look like made of copper wires, maybe with a slightly steampunk-ish touch to it :>

I think the High Priest/ess rules vary from one coven to another. I met someone years ago who insisted that only someone who had been initiated by a High Priest/ess could call themselves a witch. As a Solitary, I disagree with that perception. That particular person also just really bothered me. Sh...

Haha, adorable idea ;) I'm curious how that would work technically. High Priestesses are people who are formally initiated in one of the traditions of Wicca and you only need a High Priestess in your coven (in this case - an online coven) if you want it to be a legit, "official" coven. But...

Hali, as Sakura mentioned - if you're not familiar with spellwork it's probably best for you to try to cope with the situation using non-magickal methods first. If you can honestly say that you've tried everything you could think of and it didn't help then you can try spellwork. But keep in mind tha...

Dionysus is a god of nature (especially trees) and extasy, and a synthesis of both. He's stereotypically associated with wine and getting drunk but that's just one aspect. Dionysus is one of the most interesting but at the same time contemporarily misunderstood gods. Any kinds of trance states, exta...

These are all very good suggestions. Having my in-laws coming to my house and praying at my table was upsetting because I struggle with feeling repressed by my/his parents' religious expectations in general, and my beliefs are completely ignored and overlooked by them. I wonder if I should come up ...

Ahh, too bad I didn't see this thread before. It's good to hear that your mother is doing so much better now. What I would do in such a situation would be severing the etheric cords, both for yourself and for your mother. This way you can literally cut off from any negative and unhealthy bonds you h...
