Lunar Influences

The Moon plays a large role in most forms of Witchcraft and Wicca, as well as in other forms of magickal practices. Here is a brief list of lunar influences.

*Basic Lunar Influences*

Waxing Moon – Start of increase. Marks positive energies.

Full Moon – Focused and concentrated power. Marks the peak of energy.

Waning Moon – Start of decrease. Marks negative and destructive energies.

*Moon in Astrological Signs*

Aries, Leo, Sagitarious – The Moon in these signs accents ritual/magick that involve love, passion, friendship, and family.

Gemini, Libra, Aquarius – The Moon in these signs accents ritual/magick that involve working with personal goals and self-examination, and attunement.

Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces – The Moon in these signs accents ritual/magick that involve subconscious workings and pyschic attack.

Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn – The Moon in these signs accents ritual/magick that involves the astral or spirit workings.

This list is very simple but none the less it works well in indicating when you should perform basic magick according to the position of the moon. Check out my next post for a day-to-day planetary correspondence chart that further describes which types of magick to use during the week! Thanks for reading and as always, many blessings unto you!

About the Elements

It is an old belief that everything on earth consists of at least one of the main four elements. Indeed some people believe these to be the main active elements in the entire universe. The elements are widely used in various practices of magick. Over the years i have compiled a sort of reference chart for each Elements attributes, according to my personal practice. I will share with you a bit of the information on each of the Elements from my book of shadows:

This list of references is by no means complete, infact in my book of shadows i go on to list references to gender, season, time of day, gemstones, crystals and more for each Element. Do you work with the Elements in your practice? Do the Elements fall into your belief system… or are they outdated, insignificant and hold no baring whatsoever on your path? Thanks so much for reading and as always, brightest blessings!

 

 

 

 

Traditional Witchcraft And Religious Sources Witches Draw From

In my studies and personal development as a Witch, i have spent a great deal of time focusing on various traditions of witchcraft and many other pagan and non pagan religions. In my opinion, every tradition, path, religion, and/or life philosophy that i have come across has had its valid points, but i have found none that seemed nearer to perfect than the next one. All religions/philosophies are correct in some ways, and all religions/philosophies are incorrect in some ways, i believe each specific tradition of each specific religion does offer up some specific truth and specific knowledge. I find it very proper and enlightening to learn as much as possible about each path and practice in order to apply a truly broad array of knowledge to my craft. Below is a list of some religions and traditions that have influenced my path as an eclectic Witch:

*Forms of Witchcraft/Wicca*

Alexandrian: Comparative to Gerald Gardner’s tradition, with a little more emphasis upon ceremonial magick. Founded by Alex Sanders in England in the 1960’s.

British Traditionalist: A sub-class with a mix of celtic and Gardnerian beliefs. Fairly structured in their beliefs, and traind through the degree process.

Celtic: The use of a Celtic/Druidic pantheon and heavily stressing the elements, nature, and the Ancient Ones. Strong belief in spirits and faeries.

Dianic: Emphasis on the female aspect of the Goddess, sometimes to the exclusion of the male God. Brought about by Maragret Murray in 1921 in “The Witch-Cult in Western Europe”.

Eclectic: Practioners learn, study, and practice from many  magickal and belief systems, applying to themsleves only what works best or feels natural.

Feri: Founded by Victor and Cora Anderson, this tradition puts major emphasis on sensual awareness/experiences and draws from many sources such as faery lore, voodoo, hoodoo, kbabalah and much more.

Frost: A monotheistic take on Wicca, with one of the largest correspondence schools in the US. Founded by Gavin and Yvonne Frost.

Gardnerian: The first and probably most influential of all Wiccan traditions, founded in the 1950’s by Gerald Gardner in England. The typical Gardnerian view of the God and Goddess is that of a dominant three-faced Goddess (maidon,mother,crone) with a male consort.

Pictish: Scottish Witchcraft very attuned with nature. A solitary form of the craft, mainly magickal practice with little religion.

Saxon: Seax-Wica was founded by ex-Gardnerian Raymond Buckland with equal focus on coven and solitary practice. Also allows for self-initiation.

Strega: One of the smallest traditions followed here in the USA, Strega dates back to the mid 1300’s and was founded by a woman called Aradia.

Nordic: A number of practices including English, Dutch, Icelandic, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish.

*Forms of Christianity*

Baptist: Strong supporters of church and state seperation, the baptists believe no authority can stand between the believer and God. Tendencies toward a perfectionist ethical standard.

Church of Christ: Highly tolerant in doctrinal and religious matters, some tendency toward perfectionism. Interest in social programs.

Episcopalian: Tolerant, sometimes permissive, some social programs. Good communication with other christian factions, holding meetings with many branches of the religion.

Jehovahs Witness: Total allegiance proclaimed only to God’s kingdom. Meetings are held in kingdom halls and members homes for study and worship. Exstensive door to door visitations with the public. A periodical The Watchtower” is printed in 115 languages.

Latter-Day-Saints: Also known as Mormans, they believe theirs is the true church of Jesus Christ, restored by God through Joesph Smith: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints. Emphasis on family, moral code, work ethic, and self-reliance.

Lutherans: Doctrine of “Two Kingdoms” worldly, and holy. Generally conservative ethics, some divisions are between fundamentalists and liberals.

Methodist: The United Methodist Church was formed in 1968 by the union of the methodist church and the evangelical brethren church. Strong social elements with a tendency towards perfectionism.

Pentecostal: Emphasis on perfectionism with tolerance in varying degrees. Once a strictly lower class body, they have now established middle class congregations. Sometimes refered to as “Holy Rollers”.

Presbyterian: Traditionally strict, with emphasis on church and self discipline. No longer a central element, belief in predestination remains active.

Roman Catholic: Traditional strict but increasingly tolerant in practice; divorce and remarriage are not accepted, but annulments are sometimes granted. Celibate Clergy, except in eastern rite. More stress on social action, tolerance, and communication with other branches of christianity today than there was in the recent past.

United Church of Christ: Created from the union of small groups of protestant denominations 50+ years ago, tolerant and socially active.

*Other World Religions*

Islam: Beliefs are strictly monotheistic. God is creator of the universe, omnipotent, omniscient, just, forgiving, and merciful. Those who sincerely submit to god attain salvation. Founded 610ce by Muhammad, The Prophet.

Baha’i: Beliefs include that God has progressively revealed his will and purpose through a series of divine manifestations including Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, Zoroaster, and Mirza. Teachings include the oneness of humanity, equality between man and woman, harmony of science and religion, abandonment of predjudice, and elimination of extreme poverty and wealth. Founded mid 19th century by Mirza Husayn-Ali Nuri.

Buddhism: Life is suffering and there is no ultimate reality behind it. The cyce of birth and rebirth continues because of desire and attachment to the unreal “self”. Meditation and deeds can end the cycle and achieve nirvana-nothingness-enlightenment. Founded in India by Gautama Siddhartha, the Buddah who achieved enlightenment thought intense meditation.

Hinduism: There is only one divine principle; the many gods are only aspects of unity, life in all forms is an aspect of the divine, but it appears as seperation from the divine, a meaningless cycle called “Samsara” determined by the purity or impurity of past deeds/karma. Hindus main goal is to improve their karma and escape samsara by pure acts, pure thought, and devotion. Founded about 1500bce by aryans who migrated to India, their Vedic religion mixing with that of the natives.

Judaism: Belief is strictly monotheistic, God is creator and ruler of the universe. Stress on ethical behavior being true worship of God, they believe God established a relationship with the Hebrew people to be a special witness to Gods mercy and Justice.  Founded around 2000bce by Abraham, the five books of moses make up the “Torah”.

Sikhism: Another monotheistic religion, it is based on revelation and preaches a message of devotion, remembrance of God at all times, truthful living, equality between all human beings, and social justice, while denouncing superstition and blind ritual.

This list could literally be doubled if i really sat down and took the time to add every major source that has helped to guide me on my specific path. Have any of these traditions/religions been a major influence to you? Has some other path not mentioned here been a key factor in the creation of your eclectic beliefs? Thanks for reading and as always, many blessings to you!

Tools of a Witch

Tools have been used by Witches to manipulate, store, and direct, magickal energies, and aid in various magickal workings in general as far back as we can remember. Today the usage of tools varies greatly among Witches and their specific traditions. Some paths require a small arsenal of tools, while others paths require little tools or even none at all. It is my personal belief that our most powerful tools lay inside our minds, Intent and faith, and are two very important tools and factors in working successful magick that are normally overlooked in the area of “tools”. Ultimately true power comes from within, not from an object, or tool alone. Energy must be built, raised, and directed, which is obtainable without ever using a prop or tool, although tools may help reach a desirable end result quicker or easier in some cases. Eitherway, I have had the pleasure of researching, creating, being gifted, or otherwise learning about, procuring, and putting to use many of the following occult tools:

Athame: A black handled knife in most cases and normally the main tool/weapon of a Witch. It is versatile in nature as it can be used in anything from directing magickal energy in the casting of a circle, to defending oneself, to being used in the consecration of salt, water, oil, and other such purposes.

Amulets, Charms, and Fetishes: Objects imbued/charged with magickal power. Typically used for protection, goodluck, good health, etc, they can be used for any number of purposes.

Besom: The broom has long been associated with Witches. The main function of brooms in magic today is the sweeping away of negative and undesirable energies. Besoms are also used in handfasting ceremonies.

Boline: A white handled knife used for the physical, more mundane purposes, than the spiritual aspects of the Athame. This knife is used for cutting herbs, inscribing symbols on candles and tools, cutting cords and etc.

Censer: Used to dispense incense in the circle, or on the alter.

Chalice: Used to hold water, wine, juice, and other liquids, this tool represents the Goddess and particularly the womb. The Chalice is a Water symbol.

Cauldron: This tool has been attributed to Witches as long as we can remember, its functions mainly as a work space for creating mixtures, burning incense, burning candles, etc as well as representing the womb of the goddess.

Crystals: Rocks that contain energies, which interact with the chakra points and cause change, such as healing. often referred to as ‘healing crystals’.

Pentacle: A disk shaped alter item tool mainly used for the consecration and blessing of other items. The pentacle is a pentagram inside a circle. It is an Earth symbol.

Sword: Much like the Athame, the Sword is a very personal tool, but unlike the Athame, the Sword is not nearly as popular. Size and weight being an issue, Swords are not used for much more than circle casting and/or decoration in most cases. In many traditions Swords are an item you most earn. The Sword is a Fire symbol.

Wand: An Extremely popular magickal tool to use in the world today, the wand can be one of the most personal and powerful tools of a Witch. Much like the Athame and Sword the Wand is used mainly for directing energy, at the circle or the altar, but can be utilized in many other magickal ways as well. Wands are typically made from wood, or rock, but may also consist of materials such as metal, gemstone, crystal, even plastic! The wand is an Air symbol.

Scourge: A tool used by many traditional type Witches in Initiation rites, for disciplinary reasons, as well as various other usages.

Staff or Stang: A stang is a staff with two prongs on top, or even fixed antlers on top. A staff, or stang can be used much like an athame, sword, or wand, as its primary functions are manipulating energy and personal protection.

Jewellery: pieces depicting pentacles, pentagrams, triquetras, moons and other witchcraft and pagan symbols are worn in and out of ritual.

Spear: Used by various Witches, much like the athame, wand, sword, or staff, primarily to direct magickal energy and as a means of protection.

Crystal ball: A glass ball, used to scry.

Horoscope: A chart created by an astrologer which predicts the future based on the positions of certain constellations, planets, and other stellar phenomena at the time of said persons birth. Although it is meant to be a prediction of the future most people today use it for little more than day to day advice.

Pendulum: suspended on a string, normally a crystal or similar type item, dangled over a map, they are used to gain secret knowledge, locate things, check the health of chakra points and so on.

Ouija Board: Believed to be a portal to the demonic world, the ouija board is commonly believed to be the most dangerous of all occult tools. A wooden board with an alphabet as well as the words yes, no, goodbye, and sometimes hello on it, it is used to communicate with ancestors, spirits, demons, and other entities. Sometimes called a spirit board.

Runes: Normally printed/painted on stone, or tiles, the ancient alphabet is cast like dice upon the altar, or ground, and then interpreted by the Witch. Each rune has a specific meaning of its own.

Tarot:
A form of divination used by many Witches. Tarot consists of a 78 card deck, with various illustrations. These cards are generally used to predict the future and to give understanding to our lives and specific situations.

 

This is by no means a complete list of the tools used today by Witches and Occultists, It is simply a sample of the tools i have come in contact with in my practices personally. Do you have a different use or meaning for one of the tools i listed above? Do you use a tool that i haven’t listed? Thanks for reading and as always, many blessings!

Introduction

Greetings and welcome to my blog! My name is Baron, I am a 28 year old male, and I am an American Witch. I currently reside west of the Mississippi river, here in the United States, and I practice, both group and solitary, eclectic Witchcraft. Today there is much controversy over the terms Wicca and Witchcraft, there is even much confusion over general pagan terms and belief systems as well, with that being said the goal of this blog is not only to help guide others to accurate information and areas to research but also to more clearly define my own practice, in writing, along the way. Over the past few years I have been working on a magickal or occult encyclopedia or reference guide so to speak, I am hoping to break down and type out some of my work here, in the form of blog posts, and possibly get some positive/negative feedback 🙂 I have never been one for blogging in the past so this should be a challenging project for me. Thanks for taking the time to read, until next time… Blessings!
