My lonely path

As the path before me I do tread

Looking forever for my bed

I notice many feet have been here before

Though I know not when it seems evermore

Feet go in both directions to and fro

But no one have I met leading toward my ultimate foe

I hear the storm in the distance with its thunder

About the aftermath I do wonder

Will I stand at the end

Or will I be forced to bend

Many voice I do hear

But no one can I see near

The bushes and brambles keep me upon… Continue

A Hymn to Lilith

I call unto the Lady of the Night

The Succubus, the Queen of Hell's Delight

Night-Mare of Eden, Lamia, First Eve

Lilith, in whom I trust and believe.

Oh, Wise Woman of the Wilderness

Oh, Maiden who disobeys to redress,

Witch-Queen of Midnight in sensual dress,

Who rules over man and his carnal flesh.

She who deserted the Garden of Light,

Who ran into Darkness and found her own…

Saturday August 28

Today’s reading is:

Nine of Cups

Ten of Cups

Page of Coins

Tower (Fell from deck)

Our first card today is the Nine of Cups.

So it is important for us to focus on the positive and wish for the things we… Continue

New To Witch School Intro

I've been a pagan for a few years now but I'm fairly new to Wicca. I also read the tarot and my favorite decks are The Witches tarot by Ellen Cannon Reed and The Celtic tarot by Julian de burgh. I've been reading for two years, some days I feel like I know it all and other days it seems I don't know a thing. There is always so much more to learn with tarot. I've also tried other divination methods such as the pendulum and the Ouija board, I have a vintage Parker Brothers board that I purchased… Continue

Deeper Learning

Deeper Learning

It is common for us to undertake a new endevor by first learning about it. This is good, healthy, and useful... But how do we get from studying to practicing?

We DO.

Reading a book on electricity does not make one an electrician. In the same way, reading a book on wicca doesn't make one a wiccan. A person could read a dozen books on… Continue

COURAGE AND UNITY AGAINTS RACISM

Dear brothers and sisters,

A more aggressive and cruel forms of racism, unseen since the Second World War, are again witnessed in Europe today.

Women and Dark Moon Magick

In the earliest societies that revered the Moon as the Goddess, the third dark phase was personified as the Dark Goddess---wise, mysterious, and compassionate. The story of the Dark Goddess begins thousands of years ago in a time before recorded history, when the Moon was worshiped as a primary feminine divinity. The Dark Moon Goddess was loved and honored, and they accepted Her wisdom and Her mystery teachings of the dark. In her wisdom, which…

If you can define your goal ...

Every now and again I end up reading a book that I should be very enthusiastic about, but just can't connect with. This, unfortunately, appears to be one of those. I do want to put my following comments in context, however, because it's pretty clear that the majority of my issues with this are… Continue

OOOPS ...

I need to confess a transgression here. I did something with this book that I almost never do, I went off and checked out a number of reviews in the middle of reading it. My intent was fairly honorable, as I was wanting to find some “historical” context for why this was as familiar to me as it was when I saw a copy at… Continue
