Building a Wiccan Library as a Broke College Student [Luna]

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:48:20 +0200

I just recently read Peg Alois article Leaves of Gold: Finding Those Rare Occult Books here on the Witches Voice again, and theres always one statement she makes that pops out to me: Pagans like books. Well, I cant really deny that that statement definitely applies to me. Even before I came to Wicca, I loved books. Id always beg my parents for a trip to Barnes and Noble or whatever bookstore we happened to be close to. I kept flashlights and little book lights in my room and would

Prayers in the Wind [Verda Smedley]

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:48:20 +0200

The Ancient Ones clearly saw what was coming and with complete devotion and love made prayers for us. Their words were sent out into the cosmos so that someday we would catch up to them.I found this to be a surprisingly common theme throughout hunter-gatherer shamanism. Those old spirit handlers seemed to have an extraordinary reach into what we call the future. They seemed to have uncanny foresight into the demise of their own people and the impending doom of our planet. I cant imagi

**I feel the need to preface this, as others have done, with what should be obvious: these are my personal experiences and personal opinions and truths, and should hold absolutely no threat to those with differing opinions or truths. There are portions of my life where Wicca was not a good experience; that does not mean it cannot be a good, fulfilling, and safe experience for others, if provided the right spiritual seeds. Aside from the academic and historical honesty portion of this essay, ever

Our True 'Magical Tools' [Solonius]

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:48:20 +0200

Our magical items are only mundane objects without inherent power! After much deliberation, Ive decided that I must toss that match into the gasoline can. I feel that there is an undue amount of romanticism attached to what are only supposed to be the tools of the witchs trade. We are supposed to be wise enough to know that it is our minds, through our focused thoughts, that perform our spells and ceremonies, not our tools.Wren composed a very thorough and thoughtful essay on the typ

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:48:20 +0200

When you ask your average neo-Pagan or Wiccan what tools are on their altar (or are important to their craft) , you typically get the following list: athame, wand, pentacle, chalice, besom, cauldron, candles, incense, sometimes herbs and stones, sometimes a white-handled knife or boline. Thats about it though. A great number of the tools are things that would have been common household implements during the early-Modern Witchcraft trials. Every household needed a cup, a knife, a pot, a broom

Recycling Ritual Tools [Lupa]

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:48:20 +0200

While neopaganism is relatively young, there are a variety of traditions that have arisen among some pagans surrounding ritual tools. Some have to do with their procurement, such as never haggle with the maker or seller of a tool you want. Others deal with their handling and care, such as periodic purification, not letting others handle them, and energetically insulating then when not in use. But what about when you no longer have a need to use them? What if youve moved past a particula

My journey in Wicca Written by Liz

2007 started off the same as any other year for me, promises to myself to loose weight and to explore spirituality, what turned out different though, is that I actually did start exploring my spirituality and it has lead me to Wiccan. I know it sounds corny, but I somehow feel whole now, even though I have not explored this as much as I need or want too, as yet. Read More...

A Banishing spell

Since we are busy with the waning moon it is a good time to do banishing spells. You can banish bad luck, bad habits, gossip, bad spirits or even dept. Remember do not do a spell on someone or for someone without their permission you can have the most pure intentions in the world but without asking it is rude and can later rune a friendship.

Tools and correspondences

There is a lot of people that absolutely believe you cannot do magick without and altar and at least some tools on your altar, I personally don’t have and altar. That is for various reasons 1. My family are devoted Christians and one might just be able to put two and two together (needles to say all hell would brake loose and pretty soon I will have a priest on my doorstep trying to safe my soul and have my wallet) 2. I have small children which doesn’t always listen when you say “Do not touch”. I don’t mind them touching but things brake and you have something of immense value to you, you don’t want it lying in pieces. 3. I have someone working in my house and I prefer that she does not touch my magickal equipment, not because I am being funny but all my things are charged and in tune with my vibrations, if someone else touch it, it takes a couple of days to get back into harmony. 4. Space. The room I spend most of my time in is my bedroom and the second one is the computer room. There is just not space in my room for an altar and the computer room is also a play room for the children (need I say more).
