In the hush of the night, when shadows roam. The raindrops fall, a whispered poem, they patter softly, a melancholy tune- Echoing the sorrow in the moon's soft croon.

Darkness cloaks the world, a velvet veil. As the moon sighs, a lament, a tale. Her tears cascade- in a shimmering glance, reflecting the sorrow of a celestial dance.

The rain, a chorus of solemn sighs. Weaving through the night, where sadness lies. Every drop a tear, in the silent gloom- mingling with the moon's whispered perfume.

Yet in this symphony, of darkness and rain. There's beauty found, in their sorrowful refrain. For amidst the tears, and the moon's lament- lies a gentle solace, a moment's ascent.

For in the rain's embrace, and the moon's sad cries. There's a reminder, that sadness, too, defies. And from darkness blooms, a fragile art- a reminder of hope, in the soul's tender heart.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do- haunted by the ghost of you. Oh take me back, to the night we met.

(Verse 1) In the shadows of the night, where the moonlight weaves its tale. A love so haunting, wrapped in chains, an ancient, tragic spell. Thunder echoes through the silence, like a heartbeat lost in time, I dance alone in the darkness, in this melancholy rhyme.

(Chorus) Oh, the thunder speaks of secrets, a symphony of pain. In the garden of our memories, where roses weep like rain. I miss you like a phantom, a ghost of love so true- A twisted serenade of longing, singing, "fuck you."

(Verse 2) Crimson lips and midnight skies, your touch, a memory: A love that's buried in the ruins of our symphony. The lightning writes our story, on the canvas of the night. But your absence is the thunder, crashing, breaking the fragile light.

(Chorus) Oh, the thunder speaks of secrets, a symphony of pain In the garden of our memories, where roses weep like rain. I miss you like a phantom, a ghost of love so true- A twisted serenade of longing, singing, "fuck you."

(Bridge) In the mirror of the moon, I see your shadow dance. A waltz of sorrow and desire, a ghostly, sweet romance. The thunder drums a requiem for love that's gone astray, Yet in the storm, I find solace, where tears and raindrops play.

(Verse 3) Haunted whispers in the wind, like echoes from the past. A love once vibrant, now a specter, fading fast. Through the corridors of time, where our echoes still remain, I navigate the ruins, searching for a love to reclaim.

(Chorus) Oh, the thunder speaks of secrets, a symphony of pain. In the garden of our memories, where roses weep like rain. I miss you like a phantom, a ghost of love so true- A twisted serenade of longing, singing, "fuck you."

(Outro) As the thunder fades to silence, and the storm begins to wane. I'm left with echoes of our love, a bittersweet refrain. In the Gothic tapestry of heartache, where shadows play their part. I'll carry the weight of our love, a masterpiece of the dark. Singing, "Fuck you." © Dʏsʜᴀɴᴋᴀ/Oᴅᴇᴛᴛᴇ ₂₀₂₃

In shadows' waltz, the witch's trance: moonlit whispers, a macabre dance. Silhouetted spells, a spectral art. Elegance veiled in the night's dark heart. Raven feathers trace the arcane glide, enchanting echoes in the stygian tide. © Dʏsʜᴀɴᴋᴀ/Oᴅᴇᴛᴛᴇ ₂₀₂₃

The concept of spirit familiars in witchcraft has a rich and diverse history that spans various cultures and time periods. One of the earliest recorded instances can be traced back to ancient Egyptian practices, where animals were believed to possess spiritual significance and were associated with deities. Egyptians often kept animals like cats as companions, considering them to be protectors and sources of divine energy.

In medieval Europe, particularly during the witch trials of the 15th to 18th centuries, the idea of spirit familiars gained prominence. It was believed that witches formed pacts with supernatural entities, often taking the form of animals, to assist them in their magical endeavors. Cats, owls, and other creatures were frequently accused of being the physical manifestations of these spirits, leading to the persecution of both witches and their alleged familiars.

In some indigenous cultures, the use of spirit familiars has deep historical roots. Shamans and healers in various traditions have long believed in forging connections with animal spirits to gain insight, protection, and guidance in their spiritual practices. These familiars are seen as mediators between the spiritual and physical realms, aiding practitioners in navigating the mystical forces at play.

In contemporary witchcraft, the concept of spirit familiars has evolved. While some practitioners still work with animal spirits, others may view their familiar as an energy or symbolic representation rather than a tangible creature. The relationship between a witch and their familiar is often considered a sacred and reciprocal bond, where both parties contribute to the magical work and spiritual growth of the practitioner.

"In the depths of the human heart, there exists a place where the concept of 'home' transcends the boundaries of brick and mortar, where comfort and torment entwine in a delicate dance. This enigmatic truth unveils itself like a shadowy revelation, an echo of the soul's deepest yearnings.

Within the hidden chambers of one's spirit, home can be the talon of an insatiable beast, a relentless longing that pierces the soul with the raw, aching passion of desire. It lingers there, an unyielding presence, neither to be ignored nor shaken free, for it is the claw lodged inside you. Its grip, though painful, is also the anchor that holds you fast, grounding you in the abyss of your own existence.

A river, shimmering with ethereal light, becomes the path you tread upon. Its waters are not soothing, but instead, a mirage of salvation. Each step you take into the river is both a testament to your bravery and an embrace of your vulnerability. The riverbed, like your soul, is rocky and uneven, filled with hidden traps and treacherous currents. Yet, it draws you in with the promise of illumination, casting your innermost desires in the golden glow of its reflections.

Waist-deep in this river, you find yourself entangled in the very thing that mauls you. Its currents are tumultuous, like the emotions that define the human experience. The mauling, though painful, is a reminder of your own vitality, an acknowledgment of the fierce, untamed nature of your desires. It is the price you pay for daring to wade into the depths of your soul, for choosing to seek that elusive sense of home that resides within.

In this paradoxical realm, where beauty and darkness intermingle, the pain is inseparable from the pleasure, the torment an integral part of the ecstasy. For it is only by embracing the claw, stepping into the river, and wading through the mauling, that one can truly discover the radiant light that dwells within the heart's most cryptic corners. This is where the essence of home is revealed, a place where the soul finds its eternal refuge amidst the exquisite chaos of existence." © Dʏsʜᴀɴᴋᴀ/Oᴅᴇᴛᴛᴇ ₂₀₂₃

ℛ𝒾𝓉𝑒 𝑜𝒻 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒩𝑜𝒸𝓉𝓊𝓇𝓃𝒶𝓁 𝒱𝑒𝒾𝓁 A Jᴏᴜʀɴᴇʏ ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ Sʜᴀᴅᴏᴡs ᴏғ Wɪᴛᴄʜᴄʀᴀғᴛ. Preparation: ⛥ Choose a quiet and dimly lit location, ideally outdoors on a moonless night, such as a forest clearing or a secluded garden. The absence of artificial light is essential to connect with the spirits of darkness.

⛥ Gather your tools, including a black candle, a silver chalice filled with pure water, a small vial of oil designed for this particular work, a piece of obsidian/or obsidian mirror, and a black silk cloth. You may also wish to wear loose black or dark-colored clothing (no undergarments, or work skyclad).

⛥ Create a protective circle using 'pure' salt, and place the black candle at its center. Light the candle, taking a moment to focus on the flickering flame. You may also use a firepit, or cauldron- so long as there is the element of fire present.

The Ritual: ⛥ Stand within the protective circle and close your eyes. Take several deep breaths, centering yourself and clearing your mind. Visualize a veil of shadowy energy enveloping you, protecting you from unwanted influences.

⛥Light the black candle, saying: "I call upon the spirits of shadows and night, guardians of the hidden realms. By this candle's flame, I seek your presence and wisdom. Be my guide through the nocturnal veil." or the Latin translation: "Voco spiritus umbrae et noctis, custodes latebrarum occultarum. Per flammam huius cerei, tuam praesentiam et sapientiam requiro. Esto mihi ductor per velum noctis."

⛥ Dip your fingers into the moonflower oil and anoint your forehead, heart, and both palms. As you do so, recite: "With this oil, I consecrate myself to the realm of shadows and darkness, opening the doors to the spirit world." or the Latin translation: "Oleo hoc, me consecro ad regionem umbrarum tenebrarumque, ostium aperiens ad mundum spirituum."

⛥ Hold the silver chalice filled with water and say: "This water is a reflection of the hidden depths within me, a mirror to the night's mysteries. I offer it as a token of my respect." or the Latin translation: "Hic aqua est imago absconditorum in interioribus meis, speculum ad mysteria noctis. Hoc in signum meae observantiae offero."

⛥ Pick up the piece of obsidian and gaze into its depths. Let your mind wander into the shadows as you chant: "Obsidian, stone of the night, reveal the secrets that lie out of sight. Grant me clarity in the realm of dreams, where the darkness teems with wisdom's streams." or the Latin translation: "Obsidianum, lapis noctis, revela secreta quae latere videntur. Concede mihi claritatem in regno somniorum, ubi tenebrae scaturiunt rivulos sapientiae."

⛥ Wrap the obsidian in the black silk cloth, sealing the energy within it.

⛥Sit quietly in the circle, inviting the spirits of darkness and night to join you. Meditate, listen, and wait for any signs or insights.

Closing the Ritual: ⛥ When you are ready to conclude the ritual, thank the spirits for their presence and guidance. "I thank the spirits of night and darkness for joining me in this sacred space. Your wisdom and guidance have been a source of strength and insight. I am grateful for your presence, and I honor the mysteries of the night. As I conclude this ritual, I release your energy with respect and appreciation. Hail and farewell." or the Latin translation: "Gratias ago spiritibus noctis tenebrarumque qui me in hoc loco sacro coniungerunt. Vestra sapientia et ductus fons fortitudinis ac perspicaciae fuistis. Vobis praesentiam meam ago gratias et mysteria noctis honoro. Hoc ritu finito, vestram energiam cum reverentia et gratitudine libero. Ave et vale." ⛥ Blow out the black candle, symbolizing the return from the realm of shadows.

⛥ Lift the protective circle by brushing away the salt, releasing the energy.

⛥ Keep the wrapped obsidian as a tool for future connection to the spirit world. This item should not be seen or touched by another- it is your sacred and personal connection to the spirits.

⛥ Record your experiences and insights in a journal, and take time to reflect on the messages received during the ritual or those that may come in the form of visions, dreams, or other means.

Approaching witchcraft or ritual practices with respect, caution, and a clear understanding of your intentions is crucial to ensure a positive and safe experience. Remember that your actions can have a real impact, so it is essential to approach these practices with care and responsibility. FURTHERMORE:

Research and Educate Yourself: Before delving into any ritual or practice, thoroughly research and understand the traditions, history, and cultural contexts associated with it. Learning about the origins and significance of the rituals is essential for a respectful approach.

Safety First: Safety should be a top priority in any ritual or magical practice. Use appropriate tools, materials, and protective measures to minimize physical, emotional, or psychological risks.

Clear Intentions: Understand your intentions for the ritual and what you hope to achieve. Clarity of purpose is essential to direct your energy effectively and avoid unintended consequences.

Protect Your Mental and Emotional Well-being: Some rituals can be emotionally intense or mentally challenging. Ensure you are in a stable and healthy state of mind before engaging in such practices.

Seek Guidance: If you are new to a specific tradition or practice, seek guidance from experienced practitioners. Learning from others can help you avoid common pitfalls and enhance your understanding.

Personal Responsibility: Take responsibility for your actions and their consequences. Remember that your intentions and energy can have a real impact on your life and the lives of others.

Keep It Private: Some magical practices are deeply personal, and not everyone needs to know about them. Consider maintaining privacy and discretion, especially if your practices are misunderstood or stigmatized by your community.

Cultural Appropriation: Be cautious about appropriating rituals or practices from sources that are not your own. It's important to respect and understand the context of the ritual/spell/ceremony and the significance of what you're incorporating.

Balance and Moderation: Avoid becoming consumed by your magical practices. Maintain balance in your life and do not rely solely on rituals to solve all problems.
