A convo with @brightgnosis has me curious, do y’all find certain spirits -plant, mineral, animal, places- to show a different face by night? Or under different moon phases? Under different stars?

Taking the tree we talked about as an example;

By day I find willow graceful, calming, like a soft and sweet song. By night, especially if they’re growing on the water, I find them dark and alluring. Like a siren trying to pull you down to the depths.

Birch and beech feel very haunted come nighttime, alive. Very otherworldly. By day I find them quietly powerful, purifying and healing. Land guardians. Spring time heralds.

Maple I find welcoming and open, sweet. Sundown I find her just as welcoming but a little… darker? Like she’d whisper secrets and sweetly lull me.

Linden amorous and soothing. I’d turn to them for love magic. Same with apple. The moon rises and they become open doors.

Black Nightshade - Solanum nigrum is a commonly growing nightshade. It has many of the same Saturnian and Baneful qualities as it’s deadly cousins in the Solanaceae family. Banishing, binding, and blasting this is an easy access hexing herb and you don’t have to worry as much about poisoning yourself with it. It is a garden nightshade and this associated with the creatures that share this realm as their dwelling, specifically toads, which are important familiar Allies to the witch. The toad is an old symbol for the Devil and with this connection it is one of my favorite plants to use to conjure the Old One through the spirit of the toad. #toadwitch #toadbone #traditionalwitch #folkwitch #darkhwrbalism #banefulherbs #poisonpath #thepoisonpath https://www.instagram.com/p/ChDfMUyLUcW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Traditionally witches where black because it absorbs all the colors of the spectrum and reflects none to the eyes, drawing all energies, and enhancing the strength of one’s personal power and connection to nature. Black is associated with protection, uncrossing, and can be used to ward off any negative vibes that may be thrown your way. #witchywomen #witchesofinsta #rituals #witchcraftspells #witchcrafting #witchcraftsupplies #witchcraftforbegginers #spellworker #witchesofinstagram #witchaltar #witchvibes #covenmarket #wiccanwitch #wiccantips #wiccanvibes #paganwitch #babywitches #babywitchtips #beginnerwitchcraft #traditionalwitch #cosmicwitch #witchessupportingwitches #witchesoftheworld #witchesbroom #witchesofinsta (at Wabasha, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChS1lM6uw4v/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thanks to reading Lee Morgan’s _Standing And Not Falling_ a few years back now, I’ve got a refreshed perspective on belief.

Belief NOT as merely the acceptance of something’s existence or truth. To the witch, to paraphrase Terry Pratchet, gods and mailmen are equally real. But that’s a passive acceptance. That’s not what is useful. It’s a noun, a possession. “Having a belief.”

Belief AS IN one’s active participation in the re-enchantment of the soul through the Storying of the world and engaging in mytho-logic in the day-to-day. It’s belief as being “all-in” to the endless possibilities of magic and sinking into the lived reality of a spirit-filled world. It’s not play-acting or only believing something true or actual when convenient. It’s a verb. A doing. A commitment to wholeness.

Sexy! This is what Andrew Chumbley means when he wrote that sorcery is the meeting place of belief, desire, and will.

Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius | Moon Mantra | Moon Ritual Coven | ...

Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius 🍓🌝 ♐️ ✨ 

‘I open my heart to infinite possibilities, experience my life with joy, gratitude and curiosity, and focus my energy on my soul’s growth, as I align with my higher self.’

The upcoming Full Moon in Sagittarius is occurring on the 4th June at 03:42am GMT (04:42am British Summer Time) at 13 degrees, and 18 minutes of Sagittarius. Please note that this Full Moon occurs on June 3rd at 8:43pm PST and 11:42pm EST. As with all Full Moons, the Sun directly opposes the Moon; the Sun is at 13 degrees, and 18 minutes of Gemini.

The energy of this Full Moon is beautiful and expansive, with opportunities for healing, growth, heart-opening, love, gratitude and reaping bountiful blessings and abundance.

Full Moons are a culmination of energies, and often are a time of great intensity; they shed light on the truth, and reveal the reality of what has been in shadow, or hidden until now. 

Sagittarius speaks to our beliefs, stories, how we share information, how we learn and study, the ways we like to play, expand our worlds, journey and experience life.

A healthy expression of Sagittarius rejects dogmatism and works to understand all beliefs and perspectives, and to experience the wholeness of the universe.

A beautiful way to approach this lunation is with faith and surrender in the universe, plus a playful and heart-led curiosity for the myriad opportunities and possible eventualities. 

Join us the the Moon Ritual Coven to go deeper with this work.

In addition to being a profane writing system (used in commercial relations) used by the Germanic and Scandinavian peoples for over 2000 years, the runes are still today a magical, divinatory, and spiritual growth tool. In short, Runa (Norse Rùn - plural Rùnar-, ancient Anglo-Saxon Run) means mystery, secret. The signs (lines) that are used to engrave every single rune are called runstafas or runic sticks. In divination they work well when asking questions that require precise answers. Runic divination also called the throw of the Runes, does not mean predicting the future in the classical sense of the term. The runes, on the other hand, reflect the possible reactions to the actions you perform or that you will perform. The future is not fixed, it can be changed by our positive or negative actions. But what is the origin of the runes?

📚 Historical sources:

The first historical document that speaks to us of the Runes dates back to the first century BC and is a famous passage by the Roman historian Tacitus: 'The Germans enormously observe the wishes and spells. These are simple. They cut a branch of a fruiting tree into distinct pieces by known signs and throw these at random and madly over a white robe '. The runes had a huge diffusion in northern Europe and for this there are many Futhark (= runic alphabets): ancient Futhark (24 characters) Anglo-Saxon Futhark (39 characters) and the young Futhark (16 characters). Each symbol is associated with a phonetic value which is also the initial of a key concept in the culture of the ancient Nordic peoples. A common feature of all Futharks is the almost total absence of curvilinear or horizontal marks, this because they were mainly engraved on the knotty wood and on the rock. In addition to a few votive inscriptions in the Germanic sphere, the Runes are attested in thousands and thousands of stelae engraved in the Scandinavian countries and in Great Britain. The longest runic inscription consists of 800 characters and is a mythological text

⌛️ Mythological origins:

According to Scandinavian mythology, the main god of the Ases, Odin (Wotan for the Germans), remained impaled on his spear, hanging upside down for nine nights and nine days in Yggdrasil (the tree of the universe, for some tradition, is ash, for others, it is an oak). When the Runes appeared below him, he stretched out and took them. And the runic conscience gave him power. Then Odin passed the acquired knowledge to Freya who taught him the magic of Sedir in exchange. Heimdallr, son of Odin, the guardian god of the rainbow bridge and real civilizer of the Nordic people, finally transmitted the runes to mankind, although Odin remains the god of the runes.

Musing Maple

Requested by @birchwood-path some musings on the Maple.

I live in maple syrup country; maples are EVERYWHERE. Sugaring season is a big deal here, not only does it generate revenue but it's very much time for community. If you were to ask around, I think almost everyone would be able to tell of some very fond memories of the sugar-shack, the stories and jokes their friends, family and neighbors shared waiting anxiously to buy syrup. Clouds of sweet-smelling steam filling the air, kids clamoring for maple taffy. The sugarmakers patiently attending the boiling sap, sometimes giving out samples of fresh warm syrup. Maybe some would be able to recant their time collecting the sap, trudging out in knee-deep snow, praying they don't spill a drop. Long before our sugarshacks and [insert state name here] Maple Sundays the native peoples had been making syrup. One story I've been told states that during a time of food scarcity someone noticed a squirrel drinking the tree's sap. they tried it for themselves and found it unpalatable, I can't quite remember how but eventually it decided the sap will be boiled. I've heard it suggested that this or the maple's inner bark was a survival food for first nations peoples. Another story I've seen involves a young boy throwing his tomahawk at a tree, sweet sap flowed out and maple syrup was discovered.

I tend to look to things that were and are important to both the settlers and the first peoples, so as long as said thing is not especially sacred (sweetgrass for example), for aide in learning how to approach this land and rectify my ancestors' mistakes. Thankfully I have native family who I can ask if what I'm doing is appropriate or not. Maple and broadleaf plantain (blog coming soon) I work with in this capacity. Maple, I understand as a tutelary spirit. I approach them almost as would approach the guardian spirit of a place or thing- I see them as a gatekeeper. I ask to be humbled, to be taught a kinder way. To be in right relations with the land and the dead this tree {spirit} has provided for since ages ago. I seek their blessing and tutelage before and while I learn from the spirit of a native plant that I'm unfamiliar with. I see them as the lifeblood of the land, sustaining generation upon generation with their arboreal blood. Great provider, Hail! gifting us saccharine sustenance when all else is barren. In the same way community is built and strengthened around the sugarhouse so too is community, spirit community, built under Their branches.

For the sap to rise we need freezing temps at night and above freezing daytime temps. This, where I am, tends to occur late January-March. Sometimes the start of sugaring season happens to line up quite nicely with St Brigid's Feast; regardless, it's the first sign of winters wane, of the spring to come. I very much see this tree as carrier, emissary or perhaps even embodiment of the "serpent in the land" we are all so familiar with. Recently I have been toying with the idea of invoking said serpent as the "white" or maybe "clear" snake- rather than the red serpent often spoken of, due to the clear sap which herald's springs impending return. Coupled with the fiery orange the leaves turn in fall I am hoping this will work quite nicely. Especially since fire-in-the-water is important to me.

I also find maple syrup a wonderful offering to the land and the dead. In certain instances, (not all, honeyed dairy imo is required sometimes) I have found it more appropriate than honey, I'll sweeten milk or cream with it the same way one would with honey. I think of this as a fitting show of adapting our traditions to the land in a way that acknowledges first peoples and our history while giving a nod to my ancestral european trads/lore.

Fly Agaric Spagyric Formula Spagyrics are believed to have superior medicinal properties to simple alcohol tinctures, due to the formation of soap-like compounds from the essential oils and the basic salts contained within the ash. Simply put, a spagyric is the most potent, bioavailable/easy to digest formula one can find. Each spagyric contains all of the same qualities as with a tincture, only more potent and pure. This method results in formulations that are clean, highly concentrated, and easy to absorb, even for a compromised digestive system, making them ideal for addressing causative factors in a timely, gentle, and highly effective manner. The Spagyric processing method is able to make use of the entire plant, including the water-soluble and oil-soluble components and mineral-rich pulp. This process is an intricate science that is labor intensive, time-consuming, and highly specific. Spagyrics considers the so-called three Philosophical Principles, also known as Essentials. These three Essentials are designated as Mercury, Sulfur, and Salt. By means of special processes, they are separated, cleansed (purification), and finally re-combined (cohobation or chymical wedding). Mercury; the principle of life. Sulfur; the soul. Salt; the body-- the vehicle. A small does of a fly agaric spagyric can cause a feeling of weightlessness, visual and auditory hypersensitivity, space distortion, unawareness of time, and colored hallucinations; feelings of euphoria or invincibility are also oftentimes reported. Fly agaric also aids in dream work. While fly agaric is most popular for stories of its psychedelic properties, micro-large dosing with properly prepared plant material, also offers a plethora of amazing health benefits. These mushrooms also alter the perception of sight, sounds, etc., (the senses) and change/enhance the feelings and thoughts of the user. thejaggedpath.com (link in bio) #spagyric #datura #deadlynightshade #poisonasmedicine #poisonpath #thejaggedpath #traditionalwitch #apothecary #veneficium #alchemy #traditionalwitches #solanaceae #flyagaricmushroom #hedgewitches #amanita #amanitamuscaria🍄 #magicmushrooms #flyingwitches https://www.instagram.com/p/B739AHrnhuL/?igshid=1462dpv79ek8h
