T'was the day after Yule


Hello Witches,
  So it is the day after Yule and I have been doing some reflecting this morning and wanted to share those thoughts with you. Last night (12/25/19) was a powerful day/night. Not only did millions come together for their various holiday traditions, but we also had a solar eclipse. The energy of 12/24-12/25 was just amazing. It being paired with the new moon, really caused something special. For the last several decades, I have been observing an "awakening" of people. Watching them come to the realization that the old ways were never really forgotten, and that the progression forward after countless religious wars, prosecution, oppression, and demonetization therein had taken place.

We are now seeing an uprising in like mindedness across the board, on a scale like never before. The Christians say that it is an attack on CHRISTmas and things like that, forgetting the blood that is on its hands from the very early days. People had been so indoctrinated into believing that they didn't have power, that they were apart from nature, and that they needed to gather in building of stone and mortar in order to find god. Never realizing that if they so much as lift a stone or walked in the woods they would find the Old One's just outside of their vision.
Since I was about 13yrs old, I knew that there was something more to the vale of ignorance that people walked around in. I couldn't begin to fathom the idea that all of this was the creation of one being. As a child I use to question my upbringing. My fathers side of the family Christian, and my biological mothers side spiritual (some christian, some agnostic, some pagan, some atheist). My bio mother allowed me to choose which side to serve, and allowed me to go to church, and to do whatever I wanted when it came down to the question of my own spirituality. She taught me her shamanistic ways, and introduced me to witchcraft when I was young.

From there I branched out on my own, past the limited knowledge that she possessed and studied black magic (satanism, traditional witchcraft, devil worship, voodoo, vampirism, etc) I found that I really had a knack for Black Magic and lived my life for many years a black magician. Now that I am much older, I have found myself living a more Grey life. Blending White and Black and trying to stay in balance as best as I can. I found that my life feels more complete that way. Over the years I have taken on students and taught them various forms of magic. I remembered my bio mothers teachings and allowed the student to dictate what they wanted to do and learn. If they asked me a question, I answered it. When I was being taught Wicca, I found that there were elders who liked to shut the door and wanted things to be done in a more traditional way of A Year and a Day. Making the student ascend the ranks of progression from the First Degree, to the Second Degree, and finally into the Third Degree.
My early teachers, didnt care that a student showed more potential than the "class" that they were in. They forced you to learn your way and take time to ascend to "master" as it were. On the day of my Third Degree initiation, I thanked them for their lessons, and scolded them as fools for holding me back when it was clear that I came by things naturally and turned my back on the coven and at the time Wicca. It is also when I decided that I would never withhold information from anyone who asked. And if I didnt have the answers I would find them and answer the person at a later time. Now there have been times when I have withheld information, or didnt teach someone because I could see and feel that they were basically going to be playing with a loaded gun, and I didnt want to have to clean up after them. I would give them very little information and send them on their way. I have learned to listen to that inner voice that we all have. I have found that when I dont, I always pay a steep price there after, and its like the gods, spirit, and the universe say "ha ha told you". So If I feel like I shouldn't teach a person or that I shouldn't give them the full scope of information, then I dont.

I NEVER LIE about what I tell the person. But when you have been around the block and down the alley as long and as much as I have, you learn to listen more than you speak, and if the right questions are being asked, then you move on from there.
So all of that behind and in the open. This last student that I took on, just missed the mark. I could see that they wanted to learn and had a very very very dormant ability, but was to hung up on past familiarity, and wasn't able to let go and fully dedicate and commit to the "new ways" I was teaching them. I tried to teach the law of attraction, how to basically pay it forward because they could not because they were expecting anything in return, and how by living selflessly things would come back and bless their life.
Well that translated into the universe and the gods becoming a crutch and an ATM. I likened it to "ringing a door bell obnoxiously". I told this student "you can not constantly ring the door bell and ask for everything to be fixed by the gods, or magic, or the universe. You have to put in the leg work, and crawl through the mud, and show genuine 'suffrage' before asking for help." Like we would be looking for a parking space and they would send out a request to the universe to find a parking space. I would reprimand them and let them know that isn't how it works, that if you ask for all these little blessings then there is no room or time for bigger blessings to manifest because the universe and the gods are constantly granting you these on the spot wishes like some genie with unlimited wishes. Then they would always try to compare themselves with me.
Meaning they would point out the blessings that I got, but when they asked for something similar the proverbial door was slammed in their face. Then I would again point out that I do things all the time without the thought of being rewarded and that I give of myself. And that I dredge through the muck and mire and only ask for help when I needed it. And when I do ask the gods or spirit or the universe for help, that I do so from a place of humility and without hubris, and would simply say

"blessed goddess mother divine, I come to you in this time of need. My cup is overflowing and the weight is to much to continue to bare. I understand that there is a lesson that needs to be learned. I ask that you lessen the load, and help me to still learn the lesson that is needed. If it is your will please bless me with this humble request."

And I leave it and still continue my journey. Sometimes it is almost instantly that I feel the relief, other times I still fall flat on my face in the mud for a week or so more. I also do a rededication to my patron gods and goddesses several times a year. Sometimes on full moons, other times just because its a Tuesday. I feel that this type of practice for me is the best, and it helps me reconnect to the divine. However, what works for me may not work for you. And that is fine.

But like I started off saying, I have seen an awaking on a global scale. It is a wonderful thing, seeing a resurgence of "old knowledge" making its way back. We have a lot going on around the world. We have leadership in place (especially here in America) that has awakened the sleeping dragon of racism, and bigotry.
There is an uprising of "me, myself, and I". And a decline in brotherhood and fellowship. Yet among the enlightened few who are begining to wake up, you see a total change. The younger generations are starting to have a voice. Though the older generations are not wanting to hear them, and are trying hard to silence them. Technology is connecting us (and separating us) like never before. Where the voiceless went unheard.

There is now social media that gives them a voice. Though bullying and keyboard warriors still troll cyberspace. For those few, knowledge and kinship, and connection is being made. We are all a part of nature not apart from nature. Eventually the obsolete ways of thinking will come to an end. It may pass like a kidney stone, but eventually it will pass.

So it is my humble wish and blessings upon all who may read this, that the tears and hardships that you faced and shed this year, help to grow that which was sown in the upcoming year.

Be blessed and bless others


Be blessed and bless others. A simple statement, but one that not many understand, let alone practice.
With the state of affairs and the stressful times we are all facing around the world, we sometimes forget to look at the blessings that we have in our lives. To many times we are caught up in our own drama and self loathing that we neglect taking a moment to just stop, look around, and be thankful for the blessings that we have in our lives.
Yeah your power bill may be overdo, and you need new tires on your old rust bucket, and you have about $30 until your next paycheck and you are 2 weeks from the first. But stop and think about what you have. Yeah it may not be much, but its more than what some have. At least you have a home, and utilities, and a car. Some dont have a car, or a home.

Its easy to sit back and allow the rising tidal waters of depression and despair to almost sink you completely. I suffer from depression (as most of the world does too at this point in time) and understand the "oh well fuck it" attitude that we adopt. But that is when you take time and reconnect with your higher power, and just open your heart to the universe, god/dess, spirit, etc. and talk it out. Many is the time that I find myself doing this. I go through the struggle as much as possible. But when I feel myself losing all footholds I had, I will sit down and reconnect.

"Blessed Goddess Mother Divine. I come to you in my time of need. My cup is running over, and my burdens are to heavy for me to shoulder on my own right now. I know that with hardship and struggle there comes valuable lessons. But it is to much for me to handle right now. I come before you and ask that you lessen my load. Allow me to bare this still, but also help me to learn the lessons that are needed to be learned at this time. Blessed mother, please I beg of thee. Hold me and guide me as you always have, and take my hand and guide me through these trying times. Within you I find comfort and strength, and through you, I know my journey to be safe. I ask this of you and hope that you find my humble request favorable. Please take from no one else, or bring harm to any in helping me. As you will it, so mote it be."

This is something (or a version) of what I say when I just feel to overwhelmed. I make sure to actually go through the struggle and fall in the proverbial mud before I reach out and ask for help. That is one thing that you have to do. So many times people think, well let me just cast a spell and get through this. Or "let me just ask the universe to provide for me." You "can" do this, but its better to go through some things first before lighting up a candle and throwing some juju at it.
One should always strive to give blessings and to give selflessly of themselves in order to bring blessings into those who are in needs life. This can be anything. A car ride. Your last $5. Paying for someone's groceries, or getting the coffee for the person behind you. "What if I dont have anything to offer?" YOU ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER SOMEONE. Yes there have been times that I have given a homeless person, or someone begging for change at the gas station my last $5 dollars. Yes that was all the money that I had. Yeah I could have used that money for something else. Maybe that person is going to go buy alcohol or what have you. But it was my blessing to them. What they do with it is on them. Whatever karma comes back upon them for using it the way they do is not my concern. "Why would I give someone my last anything?" The simple answer is just this, BECAUSE YOU CAN.

The old adage "what goes around, comes around" works. I have seen it in full effect. Sometimes it is instant, sometimes its a week or so later. But eventually it all comes back. "What about those people who constantly screw others over? They never get a pie to the face. Yet I am over here struggling and trying to be a good person and they can just be an asshole and do whatever with no repercussions." Well did you ever stop to think, maybe they are in the situations that they are in because they are like that? "Well then why would I want to give them blessings or try to help them out?" Because you are a good person.
See we get so tied up in the whole drama of things and are so quick to point fingers and curse this person or that person for doing things that we deem wrong or bad, that we miss out on the fact that maybe we can be the one good thing in their lives. Bless others without the expectation of return. Give selflessly. People always want "instafame" for things that they do. Like they will go feed the hungry, and then post themselves all over social media, and hashtag their posts, so that they can get the approval of "their adoring audience". That isnt what blessing others is all about. Do so selflessly and quietly. No one needs to know that you gave someone a come up. Bless without the expectation of repayment or reward. Do good because you feel it. Not because the spotlight is on you. That will never come back to you in a positive manner. You cant have strings to your helping others. You cant say "well if I help you with this you need to do something for me." That right there is a quick way to get YOUR blessings taken from you.

I swore a promise to my patron goddess that IF I ever got a car, and I saw a hitchhiker that I would give them a ride as far as I could. Sometimes I have taken people 40 miles out of my way, just to help them along their journey. I have given my last few dollars to the homeless person because I knew that they needed it more. I have paid the difference at the store because the person ahead of me didnt have enough to cover their bill. It was a woman, who had some light bulbs, some marked down items, some cold medicine, and a few other things. But she was having to put things back because she only had like $10. I offered to pay the difference. Everyone was like WTF? Im like its fine. "You wouldnt be here with these items if you didn't really need them. Let me help you with this little blessing. Just next time you have a chance, pay it forward." The cashier was taken back and the woman tried not to accept my help. But I insisted, and gave her $10 on top of it. Did I have it at the time, not really. But I have felt that embarrassment of not having the money for what I put on the counter, and have really needed it. But I had just gotten paid for some odd jobs that I did, and I put that money on a strangers tab, and paid for my stuff and had about $20 out of $200 left over after it was all said and done. About 3 days later, I got an unexpected check in the mail that more than covered what I had spent a few days before, plus a little more.

Being blessed and blessing others takes nothing. Even if you cant help out with money. Maybe offering to give someone a ride. Giving them some extra supplies you have around the house. Just being there to talk with them and letting them vent. Any number of things that you can do for someone else, do it. But like I said before. Do so without expecting repayment. Dont do it with the idea "well im doing this now for this person, so my karma is going to be really good and bless me 100 times more" because those blessings will not be coming.
You have more to offer than you think. You just have to be willing to give of yourself and not be selfish or have ulterior motives.

Crafting - Making a dream reality
So I had a dream about this a few months ago. And this morning I woke up and felt the need to craft it and make my dream a reality.
In the dream this was a very powerful talisman that did a multitude of things. One of the biggest things it did was provided protection from spirits and warded against magics. I am not sure if I am done with the over all crafting of it. In my dream there were are few other things that went into it. I but I can already feel the energy shift in my house in its current stage.
The wood I got from a local beach, and it is held together with twine. The larger triangle I started off using wire to bind the sticks together, but ended up just using twine/jute. It is very primitive, but beautiful in my own humble opinion. I am inspired to make more of these but on smaller scales, maybe using something like dowles.
But this is the true nature of the Craft. You do not have to buy your magical/spiritual items. Making something is just as powerful as something that has been mass produced, if not more so. Because this is driftwood, it is already imbued with 2 different elements. You have Earth (if you include Oriental element Wood then you have 3) because of the wood and the salt from the ocean. You have Water, because, well it is driftwood. Also if you look into the symbology of the inverted triangle, that represents water. Which the element of water is used in cleansing, making things grow, washing away negativity and is a lifeforce. And visually looking at it you can make out the form of an upright triangle which represents the element of Fire. Also, the triangle is seen as a holy symbol, because of Sacred Numerology, 3 is a sacred number. It also represents the God/Goddess aspects of Maiden, Mother, Crone, or Son, Father, Sage. Also the triangle is one of nature's strongest shapes.
So with all of that in mind, and with this having been created from a dream. I feel that it is going to be a most welcomed addition to my magical wares.

clearing emotional baggage


Many times we obtain so much baggage, and clutter that before we know it we need to have a yard sale or be buried by it. First we need to think about  what it is that we truly need. Things like family heirlooms are things to keep because they keep us rooted and help us see where we’ve been and what we come from.
Other items like knick knacks and things that really have no value other than esthetics really are not things to keep ahold of.

Baggage can be boxes but many times its emotional. So how do we get rid of emotional baggage? Have an emotional yard sale, and your potential clients may bring you tears, and some may help you laugh. I use the phrase ‘emotional yard sale’ to symbolize what is needed to be done. At these sales, we dig through all of the clutter and open boxes and sort through the (for lack of a better word) crap that just needs to find a new home.

So what do you do when you want to have a EYS? Sit down in a quite place and recap over all of your memories, even the painful and tragic ones. If it requires someone else to be there to help you talk it all out, then get yourself another set of ears, and if someone else isn’t available then get your self a tape recorder and just start talking.
Alot of times just hearing what you need to say helps, I know it does for me. Really allow yourself to have the full range of emotions that you need in order to knock these things out of your life.

You lover cheated on you, take a picture of them and just yell at it. You may feel funny yelling at something inanimate but you know what, this is about you and not what other people think. We bottle things up alot of times which just preserves the hurt, the pain, and the betrayal. Taking the lid off and allowing things to air out is what allows the healing process to begin.
You have the permission to keep the good things bottled up to keep them fresh and in good condition, though they may need a little dusting to make them shine again, but hey, this is what is going to help us remember the good times as well as the bad ones.

the healing power of trees


Author: Colin Bondi
Original Site: witchvox.com

I love trees, I always have. I love the natural world but for some reason trees have always had a special meaning and a special power for me. The reverence and appreciation I feel for them can be intense and lately I’ve made it a daily practice to connect and work with them. They are a great teacher for me and they demonstrate and symbolize how to live in the world with grace, groundedness, openness and connectedness. They help me move energy by connecting me with the Earth and acting as a channel for its energy.

They comfort me when I’m feeling lost and help me get to my feelings. They provide a natural temple to connect with Spirit, the Goddess and the power of the Earth. Its really too bad they aren’t appreciated more for what they have to offer people as well as what we can do for them because I think we are meant to work together.

Trees are an amazing spiritual symbol and they represent grounded connected life very well. If we consider how a tree exists this becomes clear. A tree is dependent on the world around it, it needs light, water, air and soil to grow and prosper. Yet if a tree is to survive it must put down strong roots deep into the ground while reaching up into the sky to the sun so it must be grounded in the Earth while open to the sky. If it is not well grounded a strong wind can topple it or even blow it away but if well grounded a tree can and must withstand storms and the tumult of the outside world. It must also be flexible so as not to break in the wind, a balance of strong grounding and flexibility.

Humans too must be well grounded in themselves, the Earth and in Spirit if they are to withstand the trials of life. If we are not well grounded we tend to be swept up in the circumstances and emotional drama of our lives and this is particularly true in these intense times. However if we are well grounded, we find our stability within and we are not swept away even in the most difficult of times. Like the tree we must also be flexible and not be so rigid in our groundedness that we snap. We flow with the changing current of life without being overwhelmed by it. Being grounded and flexible is what trees symbolize for me.

The tree has also been used by many cultures as a powerful symbol, an example of which is the Tree of Life. Here the tree is used to symbolize life itself in all its complexities and interconnections. A similar concept is that of the World Tree where the tree is used as a cosmological symbol of the underworld, the Earth and the Heavens.

Trees can be powerful healing tools because they can help us ground and move emotional energy very effectively. When I’ve felt stuck in my “stuff” lately I’ve taken a trip to the park to do tree practice. I’ll find a strong tree I feel drawn to and touch it with both hands while planting my feet firmly on the ground next to it. I will then ask the tree for help in moving my stuck energy.

If it feels right to continue I visualize energy from the earth coming up through my feet and into me and flowing out through my hands into the tree and back into the earth creating a circuit. The tree has a way of helping me make this connection and moving the energy. I usually find emotion comes up rather easily when I do this… whether it be sadness, anger or some other feeling I had been holding onto. Once energy has moved I will quiet my mind and feel the energy of the tree and the earth, which is very calming. I conclude by giving the tree my gratitude and sending it love and light.

I think this practice is a powerful one because we can be so disconnected from nature in our modern world yet we are a product of nature. I wonder how much of our mental and emotional pain is made so much worse because we have lost this natural connection that is so healing. The drama and trauma of human life tends to obstruct life energy so it becomes things like depression, anxiety, anger and confusion. To Mother Nature this is all just life energy and so in reconnecting with her she can help us remove the obstructions and free this energy returning it to source while allowing it to flow through us in a way that allows us to live fully connected with life.

In the sacred rites and rituals of old, particularly the Druids, trees represented the place of spiritual worship, the sacred grove. They became a temple to the Divine. I have come to see it that way myself and consider the park near my house a temple and place of spiritual practice. The paths are the sacred halls of the temple and the trees living manifestations of the Goddess as well as access points to the Earth energy we are all a part of.

Reconnecting with the Earth in this way is not only healing for us but for the planet as well. If we can return all the disconnected energy we have created in separation, that energy can be used consciously to heal the planet. The environmental crisis we are experiencing today is a manifestation of this separation. In seeing ourselves as separate from the planet we have harmed it greatly while not realizing we are directly harming ourselves at the same time.

Is it any wonder our culture is so sick and dysfunctional? We are not separate from the planet; we are a conscious part of it and with our consciousness acting in harmony with the planet, it and we can be completely healed together. Technology, science and rational solutions will not save us because the problem is much more simple and basic than that and the solution is right here right now if we can just let go, listen, feel and realize our interconnectedness.

the fine act of knowing when not to speak


Many times people will call and ask me questions. Never really looking for an answer, just wanting to voice what they have on their minds, and looking for little to no interaction with the person on the other end of the line.
This is  a masterful skill that not many have, as most have mouths bigger than the state of Texas, and ears as small as a needle point. I have over many years of practice learned this fine art. I know that my shoulder is sometimes a pillow for others to cry on, and my ears are just there to absorb what others have to say. Though I may be a person of few words, it is at this time of silence that I am taking in more than you could ever imagine. Yes my expression may glaze over and it not seem like im listening but many times I am forming my own rebuttal to what is being said to me.

I guess what the meaning of this post is supposed to be is this. Sometimes you need to listen and not speak. Sometimes others dont need your view point, and even though you do not agree with something, dont knock it as its not your place. If someone asks your opinion do not beat them over the head with it simply say ‘i feel this way________, but I support your choice to do _______” one of my most favorite things to tell people is this :

                      “I really dont agree with that choice, however, I am always going to be right here for you, good, bad, or indifferent. Just note that I reserve the right to say ‘Ha ha I told you so…””

This lets others make their own decision and that way should they fail in what they were indecisive on they can not come back and said ‘well i did what you said now look at where I am!” Because you only offered up your view point, you didnt give them the idea, you merely suggested how you would do something.

Remember words are powerful weapons, and better than doctors, when used correctly.

can having too much in common become a problem



Perhaps being with somebody who is like you in every way can become a hindrance in making a relationship work, because of its tendency to impede growth and to foster narcissism in an individual.

Having said this, there might be some truth to the saying that opposites attract. There’s nothing entirely wrong with having the same taste in movies, travel destinations, books and perspectives on life. It’s when things go overboard that this “commonality” starts to become a burden. Here are some examples of how this can be made possible:

Lack of space. It’s OK to have activities that you engage in together, like if you do wall climbing, painting classes or backpack traveling. However, this can become an issue if your daily activities are constantly in sync with each other. Being together ALL THE TIME can be unhealthy as well, since one of you is bound to feel suffocated and get on the other’s nerves.

Shrinking your worlds. Since the two of you are constantly together, your worlds are bound to shrink as well. Your relationships with people outside your “sphere of love” deteriorates, you keep cancelling on your appointments with people and you no longer do the things that you used to, simply because your partner isn’t in on it (it might also be because they disapprove of it). Don’t allow this to happen, because it will transform your world into one that revolves around your partner, and this could become a bad thing down the line, especially when they start feeling that you’re constantly breathing down their necks. This is also the cause for the start of insecurity, discontent and to some extreme degree, contempt.

Letting your narcissism get in the way. Making any relationship work requires a constant need for understanding and the ability to be compassionate and considerate towards your partner. Having too much in common with your partner might be misleading on your part, as you might make the mistake of thinking that his or her needs are just the same as yours. Thus, defeating the purpose of making an effort to know your partner better or making an effort to make things work.

Having a lot in common with your partner can’t all be that bad. In fact, it may even be an upside to some, because they find that they understand each other better. Like in every relationship, understanding and consideration may be one of the more important factors to making sure that both your needs are met. The most rewarding of relationships, after all, are that which inspire you to grow individually. Don’t let these “commonality issues” be the reason for your downfall.

Picking our battles


Sometimes and we are all accused of doing this, we interject our opinions when they are not wanted. We all have a tendency to just open our mouths and allow for verbal diarrhea to come spewing forth. Sometimes this can cause fights, and other times hurt peoples feelings. Many times we dont care. But what if you are on the receiving end of that assault? What if, just for one second that was someone talking to you like that? What if what they were saying was really hurting you, and they didnt care?

Sometimes we find our shoes on the other foot. Taking time to really examine your words and what you have said to someone even if you dont agree with that person’s actions, comments, or opinions, one should always take the higher road and keep to themselves. You can talk the ears off of someone, but if they dont want to listen, then you are just wasting your time and breath.

This is where picking your battles comes in. Knowing what to say, and when to say it can truthfully help your cause. If you are suggesting something to someone and they wish not to hear it, in one ear and out the other….
Take some time to just listen, you dont always have to have a say, just listen, and be non-judgmental about things.
