A new turn

Some may say I chose to hide. Some may say I am opting for a life in the closet. And some will think and ponder about my choices, such is life. Perhaps I gotten a case of tin foil hats, but I have decided to treat my online life differently, so reducing the mount of […]

Tradition, Authority and Awkward Questions

Quite a few people feel that being a witch in the 21st century means a bit more then observing the lunar cycles, invoking the old gods and wearing bangles with interesting symbols. An old notion is that “the land makes the witch” which I don’t find to be an obsolete idea, for it would give […]

Sexuality in Wicca

Both outside and inside the Wicca community there seems to be a notion that sex is an imported aspect in Wiccan ritual. Perhaps the reason why pagans some prefer a more modern form of Wicca, then say Gardnerian or Alexandrian, as in the ceremonial rituals, there is quite a few references  to man-woman sexuality, or taken […]

A very big Yoink

This is the second yoink I am pulling and again, my unsuspecting victim is the same as in A case of the yoinks, but again, I am without remorse as Abhainn confesses his yoinking from Kelden Mercury’s blog who in turn nabbed it from Vele’s Adventures In Witchery   1. Do you use runes as a […]

A case of the yoinks

Have you ever came across something that is so good, funny and entertaining, you just have to steal it? I’m afraid I might have a few yoinks coming up and this one I blatantly stole from Abhainn, but I don’t feel really bad about it because he yoinked it too. To be sure, he found […]

A ritual of conception and creation

Memories and history Ever since I was a child, I associated sickles with Druids and being a magical tool (I read a lot of Asterix comics)  So after my partner’s grandfather passed away, this old rusty sickle showed up in the shed. No one wanted it, so I asked if I could have it.  Although rusty […]

Re-inventing the wheel

As I have been not posting for a while, being busy with a new course I have set myself onto into my spiritual work, I did come to a few realisations that reflect to the mundane at the same time. In magic, and the history of various traditions I note that society keeps pace of […]

All the wrong arguments

What is perhaps the only thing good that a connected world can give us, is to view groups of people coming together in virtual places and talk. I used to do a lot of talking either, but I found that the talking didn’t do much for me. The listening however can be very instructive. There is […]

The true Grimoire

The quest of many magicians, as it seems, is to obtain the one and true grimoire; the one set of instructions, unaltered by time nor man to reveal the true praxis of high magick; to be followed to the letter and to be protected in its purity. What is a Grimoire? But before we name this illustrious […]

Good intensions

And to be sure, the road to hell is paved with the stuff, but thanks to the documentation of this blog, I noted how much I strayed from my intentions. Just going through my own posts I see my distraction to the mundane: politics! And don’t get me wrong, I think it is splendid when […]
