Understanding Witches' Runes: Woman

4/10/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
​The Woman symbol, a letter Y or an edited symbol for the planet Venus, represents the receptive or inactive feminine energies that are present within each manifested thing and being on the physical plane of existence. The shape represents the womb of the human female gendered body where creation occurs and has been associated with reproduction within fertility cults; the consort of which is the symbol for Man.
 
Woman corresponds with the receptive feminine energy that is manifested in the physical plane. It represents the physical female body and may represent a specific person within the throw especially an individual that physically as a woman, regardless of age. Woman represents vulnerability and the empathetic nature of humanity, which allows for the fluidity of energy and expansion of the individual spirit though it can reveal a lack of boundaries. Woman is about Being rather than Doing. It also represents the subtle realms of human consciousness.

Picture
The Man symbol, an arrow pointing downward is an abbreviated symbol for the planet Mars, represents the projective or active masculine energies that are present within each manifested thing and being on the physical plane of existence. The arrow is a phallus symbol, which has been associated with reproduction for many years within fertility cults; the consort of which is the symbol for Woman.
 
Man corresponds with the active masculine energy that is manifested in the physical plane. It represents the physical male body and may represent a specific person within the throw especially an individual that presents as a man, regardless of age. Man represents energy with forward momentum or drive, and thrives within structure as it is expressed through the physical realm though it can be controlling and manipulative. Man is about Doing rather than Being. It also represents intellect, logic, practicality, and is analytical in nature.

Understanding Witches' Runes: Star

3/27/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Star symbol being eight intersecting lines represents manifestation. Each line signifies the endless possibilities and energy within the Universe that is readily available to each human being. This is this energy that the Witch utilizes through his or her Craft to create the reality desired, the same energy vibration that is read through the practice of divination. The point of intersection is desire manifested; the point of birth and creation from the etherical into the physical. 

Star corresponds with Universal energy or Source energy that is within all things. It represents all dreams, hopes, and wishes imagined yet not manifested. It is the herald of that which is to come, the star in the sky that children make wishes upon at night. It also represents spirituality or spiritual enlightenment and gnosis.

Understanding Witches' Runes: Moon

3/20/2019

Picture
The Moon symbol being a familiar crescent moon represents not only the moon itself, but the darkness of night in which we are able to view it in the sky. It represents the lunar cycle of: New Moon, Waxing Moon, Full Moon, Waning Moon, and Dark Moon. 

Moon corresponds with the Divine Feminine or Goddess energy that is held within each individual human being regardless of gender and is manifested within the natural environment in which we live. It represents the mysteries of night as even though we are able to see in the darkness our vision is impaired and sometimes the shadows play tricks with our vision, hiding things right in front of us. It represents secrets and those thoughts, feelings, and behaviors we may be hiding from others as well as ourselves out of shame or the fear of ridicule.

Understanding Witches' Runes: Sun

Picture
​The Sun symbol being a circle, which represents The Wheel of the Year, with lines drawn from it represents not only the rays of light that the sun shines down upon the earth and the creatures that live upon the planet, but also the quarters and cross quarters (or spokes) within The Wheel of the Year – the Witch’s calendar.  

​Sun corresponds with the Divine Masculine or God energy that is held within each individual human being regardless of gender and is manifested within the natural environment in which we live. It represents the completeness of time as the day begins when the sun rises in the East and ends as it sets in the West. It also represents life and the cycle of growth due to the fact that light is required for living creatures to thrive on the earth’s surface.

Understanding Witches' Runes: The Eye

3/7/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Eye is sometimes used as the Master Stone within a casting and can be chosen to signify the individual that is benefiting from the Reading. When the caster does this The Eye rune will then represent the physical eyes of the individual or his or her Third Eye. The Rune will reveal that which the Querent sees or doesn't see but is present within their life experience; in this way the Rune becomes a marker for the Querent's perspective and focus or lack thereof.

The Eye corresponds with the ability to look or see beyond the physical, to view the interior workings of situations and people as well as oneself. It also represents "The Eye of God" or the eyes of the gods if the Querent is polytheistic and in this way is commonly associated with protection or casting "the evil eye".

Understanding Witches' Runes: Throwing the Stones

2/27/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
​When I work with the Witches’ Runes in a divinatory sense I throw them, meaning that I gather all thirteen stones in my hands, shake them, then throw them all at once onto a cloth that is placed on a flat surface, such as a table or on the floor. I then interpret how they lay on the cloth. I take into consideration a few things such as how they fell; are they face up or down, are they all on the cloth or did some fall out of bounds, are they all close together or are some that seem to be further away from the others. All these considerations will add to the overall interpretation of the throw and weave the narrative, which relies heavily on my intuitive ability and connection to the Spiritual Realm.

Understanding Witches' Runes

The word "rune" originates from the German word raunen, which means "to whisper". I would venture that it is widely understood that any rune would then hold a whisper or a esoteric meaning associated with it so that if the caster of the stones listens closely enough he or she will be able to understand the hidden knowledge and wisdom it possesses. 

Many of us may think of the Norse Futhark Runes when the stones are being discussed, but in this blog series I am going to be discussing what it known as Witches' Runes. For me they are easier to interpret as they use  imagery that I am already familiar with and use within my own Witchcraft. 

​All runes are connected with the creative energies of the Universe so when you cast the stones you align yourself with that energy. This energy is not

Contemplation of Love

Picture
It's Valentine's Day here in the United States and I found myself contemplating what love is ... 
How does one define love? Can love even truly ever be defined by words? 

If we go to Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary we will find the definition of love as: 
(1): strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties 
(2): attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers 
(3): affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests 
b: an assurance of affection
2: warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion

ABC of Paganism: Z is for Zen

2/6/2019

Picture
Zen is defined in The Magician's Companion as: a system of mental stillness origination in India, where it was known as dhyana. The idea is to attain release from attachment to the objective world with the goal of permitting experience by direct perception or intuition. This idea holds a dominate role within my own spiritual practice. It is what I intend to achieve through meditation regardless of what style or type of meditation I am doing at the time. I perceive this mental state as being ideal for communing with the Spirit Realm in order to gain knowledge and wisdom from my Spiritual Court, which would include my Beloved Dead, The Ancestors, my familiar spirits, Spirit Guides, Spirit

An A-Z List of New Age Practices to Embrace

1/30/2019

2 Comments

 
Picture
This blog post is in direct response to one made by Doreen Virtue, which can be found HERE.

The New Age offers a path to personal enlightenment and a deeper understanding of the Universe and humanity’s relationship with it. The New Age teaches us that we hold the inherent power to manifest whatever experiences we desire for ourselves as we live within the shared reality and physical realm of existence. The reality is that humans are just a part of the vast expanse that is the Universe and because of this we are searching for knowledge and greater understanding. There is no end to our seeking because there isn’t meant to be one.

ABC of Paganism: Y is for Yoni

Picture
The yoni is an aniconic representation of the vagina and depicts the Goddess, divine feminine energy, or creative force including Shakti, within Hinduism. It is the gateway of all births, the entrance way to the womb and tomb. ​Depicted with the lingam together they symbolize the union of divine feminine and masculine that creates all of existence, the merging of the microcosmos and macrocosmos, the divine eternal process of creation and regeneration. 

The divine feminine has a profound role in my spirituality as she has always has throughout my life. This energy first manifested as my

ABC of Paganism: X is for Xeni Nephidei

I must admit as we get to the end of the alphabet for this YouTube Pagan challenge I struggled to find a word that began with the letter X that pertained to my personal pagan spirituality or Witchcraft. I considered skipping the letter, but then had an overwhelming sense of failure and I didn't like the feeling so I continued to search and I was pleased that I did. I decided to look through what books I still had on my bookshelf scouring the indexes of a few before I finally found something. The book I made my discovery in was titled; The Magician's Companion by Bill Whitcomb. It was a book I purchased years ago from a fellow YouTube Witch, Jacqueline DuBois. It's a wonderful reference book filled with a plethora of information that I find interesting though I must admit I haven't spent as much time in the book as I would like and will take time in the near future to spend more time immersed in what the pages have to offer me. I have the distinct feeling that it is what I would most benefit from at this time in my personal practice.

ABC of Paganism: W is for Words

1/8/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
​I love words. I am an author; I write and what I write is words. I love manipulating words and dissecting them. I use them to paint pictures in my mind and hopefully in the imaginations of other people who read my words. I like to write more than speak, but I enjoy speaking and listening to others as they express their ideas through words. I enjoy reading more than watching because it seems to me that what I imagine is more appealing to me than what other people create using the words of the author.

​​It is because I am so enamored with words that I know they hold power. All words possess a power that is uniquely their own,

When we lived in New Bedford, our family resided in a historical home located on Cottage Street, built in the year 1883 for a man named William P. Booth, who was employed by the House of Corrections as an Officer. He lived in the house until his death sixteen years later. The house remained vacant until Adeline M. Cornell, a dress maker, acquired it in 1907. She resided alone in the home for twenty years until her death at which time Fredrick and Agnes Dexter moved into the house, only to move out just a year later. In 1928 Charles and Sylvia Dunham acquired the home and lived there for nearly twenty-seven years and after which the house was occupied and vacated by a number of people until we occupied it in July of 2008.

During our time in the house we experienced
