Re: Online Wiccan Colleges

Hi Tyrande! Yeah, I would be really careful about those kinds of websites! I would definitely recommend in-person groups as the way to go : )

Re: Dip Ink & Pen Clean Up - What Do You Use?

I use metal nibs in calligraphy. For the most part, I just dip the nib in water and wipe it with a paper towel (really squeezing the nib to get out all the moisture). Every once in a while, you should really do a deep clean with an old toothbrush, soap, and water to remove dried ink bits.

Re: Is old school magick better?

I used to think that it was all intent, but I've done enough magic now that I've really come to realize that there's some stuff that WILL work, and not the way you've intended. Someone once described it to me as "vending machine magic" -- you put in a coin, you'll get a result, regardless ...

Re: Online Wiccan Colleges

Hi Tyrande, this is not quite the same as a Wiccan College, per se, but I'm currently taking some Pagan ministry courses via Cherry Hill Seminary, which is the only Pagan seminary in the country (they are not accredited, but this has more to do with accreditation standards being designed for Judeo-C...

Re: Hello like-minded individual

Hello Tyrande, and welcome to the forum! I love your username and avatar -- are you a Warcraft or WoW player? I grew up playing Warcraft 3, and now occasionally play WoW. I've always loved Tyrande Whisperwind's character! Funny thing is, when I was younger and playing Warcraft 3, I always thought to...

Re: Should I be worried?

I would also interpret it as a positive sign that the Earth has accepted your excess negative energy. You'd be surprised at the little synchronicities that happen in ritual ... Yes, you had blessed water and that's probably what caused it, but the timing is telling. I once had an experience when my ...

Re: Use of Bells in Rituals

Has anyone ever read the Old Kingdom Trilogy, by Garth Nix? It's fiction, but I really like the magic system ... the main character has seven bells, each with a name and a purpose: Ranna - the Sleeper Mosrael - the Waker Kibeth - the Walker Dyrim - the Speaker Belgaer - the Thinker Saraneth - the Bi...

Re: Witchcraft Isn't Like Harry Potter

I love Harry Potter as a series, but most of the spells don't resemble anything like the witchcraft that I practice. The only part that actually does kind of seem more similar, though, is the Patronus charm -- the level of visualization, focus, and emotional aspects of the spell is much closer to wh...

Re: Solar Eclipse, August 21, 2017

Wow. That was so incredible. My whole office went out to watch -- we had a blast!!!

Apparently, the next solar eclipse is in 2024, and the path of totality will be not too far from me. I know what I'm spending my vacation time on that year!! : )

Re: Solar Eclipse spells and rituals?

I'm planning on putting out a few jars of water to charge it under the eclipse. I've seen a couple of different sources on what such water would be good for, but it just seems to me like extra-charged water. I'm also placing a witch's bottle I prepared last night -- today seems like an auspicious da...

Re: Love sepll gone right..or wrong? Or nothing at all?

Hi Young Hag, so you only cast the spell really only a few days ago. I have not personally cast a love spell, but I have heard from many people's experiences that they take time, especially if you are seeking to attract a very significant love in your life. A quick fling may only require waiting a f...

Haha, that's okay. More reposts, the better! Silly me -- I was going to order solar eclipse glasses a week ago, and then for some reason I must have gotten busy and then forgot all about it. Today I went on Amazon to look, and those glasses have nearly tripled or quadrupled in price (the reputable a...

You can see what time the solar eclipse will be at its peak for your location with this calculator: https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/7/25/16019892/solar-eclipse-2017-interactive-map @ SpiritTalker -- I think even two sunglasses may not be 100% safe for your eyes; you might want to conside...
