The broom Closet

Over the years I've seen some stuff to whiten your hair, in my case make you go bald.

Anyway we all have our little secrets that we hide away from the world,

from each other. Some we think so big & horrific,and others just embarrassing.

But truth be told it is those secrets that brought each and every one of us

into the Craft.

I myself am not going to divulge any details other than to say that 1981 was a very busy year.

By the time 1982 rolled around I… Continue

Rebirth of a People

Rebirth of a People

While much of the Northern Hemisphere is blanketed in snow and the Earth rests beneath, we enter the time of year for rebirth and renewal. Many of Earth's creatures take this time to slow down. Some hibernate. Others stocked with food during the late summer and fall months and retire there to avoid the freezing temperatures outside. With fewer hours of natural light, the time we humans can spend in outdoor activities becomes more limited. As the year comes… Continue

hyena totem

totem, medicine, shamanism, hyena

Animal-Wise/Ted Andrews:

Keynote: Formidable instincts and abilities. Develop clan and communal life.

Hyenas are dog-like creatures of Africa and Asia and are often scorned for their funny looks and their scavenging habits, but they are in reality formidable hunters, taking on formidable prey. They have keen noses for hunting, and actually hunt more prey than scavenge. They will chase off lions, and a fully-grown hyena is capable of… Continue

Okapi totem

The Okapi is found in rain forests of the Congo region and was unknown to science until around 1900. Because of its late discovery, its shy disposition and solitary lifestyle it holds the medicine of elusiveness. It is a member of the giraffe family and those with this totem should also study the giraffe. The giraffe's neck extends into the sky giving it the ability to see into the distant future. The okapi however, has short legs and a short neck and focuses its sight on the present and near… Continue

The Andean Condor is the largest of the vultures with a… Continue

crow birth sign

Crow/Raven: Sep 22 – Oct 22

Highly enthusiastic, and a natural entrepreneur, the Crow is quite a charmer. But he/she doesn't have to work at being charming – it comes easily. Everyone recognizes the Crow's easy energy, and everyone turns to the Crow for his/her ideas and opinions. This is because the Crow is both idealistic and diplomatic and is quite ingenious. In nurturing environments this Native American animal symbol is easy-going, can be romantic, and soft-spoken. Further, the crow… Continue

Okay! first and foremost all you really need is the will and the word, everything else is window dressing and status symbols.The one absolute is the Book of Shadows.

I Like mines medium, my husband likes his well done, no not the steak, the witches burning at the stake!

History and the Witch Hunts

For most people, the witch hunts provide one of the most powerful testimonies of the evils of institutional religion and specifically the Christian Church. According to the popular image of the witch hunts, this was the time when a powerful Christian church kept humanity in ignorance and superstition, exercising a tyranny over intellectual life that saw hundreds of thousands, if not millions of innocent women sent to the stake. It was a campaign of… Continue

Peace o' mind

O' Lady O' Lord grant me the peace of mind to go through the day, and by night. Grant me the self control that I keep my words in order, when surrounded by chaos. Grant me the self control so that I don't react to mundane stupidity. Grant me the wisdom to know better and the cunning to apply with grace. Grant me the ability to learn & grow and pass along what I…

The Pentagram

The earliest known use of the pentagram dates back to around 3500BC at Ur of the Chaldees in Ancient Mesopotamia where it was symbolic of imperial power. (And just before that time roughly a thousand years prior came the mystery of the inverted pyramid of Egypt, at the bass of the pyramid there are four point the fifth is the in the center and most highest point.)

Amongst the Hebrews, the symbol was ascribed to Truth and to the five books of the Pentateuch. It is sometimes,… Continue
