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

Magickal correspondence

Ok now that we know how to clean our space and how to protect ourselves we can get down to the fun stuff.

You will find that a lot of magickal workers have different ways to do things. You get ceremonial magick that requires you to do things in a specific order and all the magickal correspondences must be correct.

Then you get the more free spirited magickal workers that do a spell when their hearts tell them to do it and they will have as many correspondences as they please or as little. Let’s start with something most of you must have heard about and that is the phases of the moon. There is the basic four that I use in magick and you can change your spell just a little bit to correspond with the moon phases and have it work for you rather than against you.

The banishing pentagram

I have read about the pentagram a couple of times before I decided to do it myself. It is a good idea to do this protection ritual before a spell and an even better idea to do it on a daily basis.

Protection

After cleansing one of the most important things to do is protection. You cast a circle to keep evil spirits out and to keep good energy in.

Your circle can also be a doorway to other realms; but casting one and protecting yourself is very important. Read More...

A Spell a week

I wanted to start of with a good business or prosperity spell but changed my mind. I will start at the basics, so this week's spell is a cleansing spell. Always cleanse you area and if possible yourself befor you do any spells or rituals. Also try to do a monthly cleansing or house blessing it keeps the energies flowing and bad spritits at bay.
