Everything Under the Moon

Blessed be.... Greetings Brothers and Sisters.... I have a question: Can you perform the Initiation ritual by yourself only to initiate yourself??? This is a tough question to answer and honestly the debate on this one rages. Can a person self initiate or is a self initiation a dedication and not a...

How do I first get spiritually involved with the God and the goddess? This is a very good and very common question. There are many different ways that you can get in touch with the Goddess and God. I'm going to share a few of the ones I have found and used myself. One of the common ways is to perfo...

How do you feel about other Gods from other pantheons (like Odin, Ares, Ludgh, Loki,Thoth, Horus, etc) how about Goddesses (Isis, Aprhrodite, Athena, Hathor, Firgga, Freya, etc?)? I'm just wondering how you feel about polytheism.

Thank you for your responses! Great suggestions :) I do have a q that I just thought off... and it's totally unimportant but it's something my husband and I were debating about what you'd say in greeting for a holiday... Merry Christmas for example.... Would it be Happy Yule? I still honor Christma...

Like many paths Shamanism has its own set of ritual tools and practices. The tools in shamanism can also be used in forms and styles of witchcraft (occasionally called hedge witchcraft). Some shamanic witches combine the use of traditional witchcraft tools and the tools of the shaman to work both an...

I haven't journeyed in so long I do remember once in meditation I woke in a clearing surrounded by the tallest trees and I was greeted by wolves. Interesting. I've never had any work or experience with wolf spirits. Though their symbolism has always interested me. Do you have any specific meanings ...

Thats powerful. I met my grand meme' only a handful of times, but I learned from my mother that she read playing cards. So whenever I do playing card readings I call upon her for advice in the reading. Its been very helpful. I don't know if there were any witches in my family or not. It's something ...

Sometimes my computer is within the circle, or just out (when I cast one). Mostly for music as well, but sometimes I have ritual notes up that I have not transferred to my BoS. This is also why I have my computer up at times. I have exercises or ritual work that has not been copied to my BOS that I...

Great explanation. I mostly work with evocation. Ive never actually done an invocation. Same here. I've not yet completely become comfortable with spirits to invoke them. Right now I am starting relationships with new beings in the Feri tradition so I have a set of new evocations and associations t...

Oh my gosh Loona, totally excellent point about the mask, it is definitely a great way to help one get Iinto "character"... if you will. In fact accouterments of all manner are great, ....dresses, make up, staff, sword, spear...whatever your deity is known for will help facilitate a succe...

My laptop is in my ritual room and most of the time its the source of my music for rituals, or with my current training its where I get the exercises and information that I need to know what it going on. My altars are also all around my laptop with one of my altars being on the top of my desk shelf....

Thanks for bringing this up Loona... This does cause a bit of confusion for beginners. It definitely can be difficult to keep in mind. My tradition is largely based on the 1734 and uses what Robert Cochrane called Contacting and Aspecting. I've never heard of that concept, but I'm not as familiar w...

The way I started to remember the sabbats is that there are roughly 7-8 weeks between them or every two months it seems. The solstices and equinoxes are basically the same date every year (2-3 day differences). So I started with Mabon (September 21st ish) and then counted to Samhain (October 31st) a...

I think Sunflower oil can be a good base oil, it have almost no scent at all and allergies occur rarely. Maybe it is an option for you Loona. :) PS: I never made essential oils, so I'm not sure if this oil is effective for this use :anxious: I'm not making essential oils. I dont have the materials ...
