There's not much information regarding the celebration of Vestalia, which honors the goddess Vesta. So here's what I have discovered about it so far.

Vestalia is a week long celebration, which honors the goddess Vesta, who is in the Roman panthanon. She guarded virginity and alongside the Goddess Juno was considered a protector of marriage. A sacred cake was made at this time.

It is held from 7th June to 15th June, during this time the temple was cleaned from…

So lately I have noticed on this site, which was created to be a hive for intellectual conversation and other awesomeness, has been falling into this hyper sensitive trap of "Wha? I'm not wrong, you're a meanie!" and other super daft nonsense. Usually this can be spotted in the response of the offended, who proceeds for the most part to declare the mod (or kind smart person like myself) to be so mean, and soo inconsiderate of their specific super special post or blog.

Look,…

So, the new moon is almost upon us. I know there are many people who do rituals or rites or such during the new moon. Should I?



I mean there's no reason I shouldn't, there's quite a number of wonderful Lunar Gods and Goddesses associated with the Moon. Hm. Perhaps I'd best leave this topic for another time.

Since My path is moving down a different one then that of regular Kemetics and Tamerans, and there is so little information out there (that I've found at least)…

Communication with some experienced wiccans helped me understand that each one has it's own path. That it's not important what speed you have when you're moving, but the aim is the main thing. And you don't have to chase some insignificant things, but of the entire flow of information you have to find the main essence and sift through the slag.

It would seem an obvious truth, but you must not forget about it.

And this is my old drawing. :)

Here I decoupaged a mini photo album that I got at the 99¢ store, that originally said "Thanks for the memories" picturing a flower. Planning on writing my herbal recipes on some index cards and sticking them in here, because they do fit perfect, no need for a recipe box. There's some St. John's Wort I found yesterday in the raffia. 

The book will include, my recipes of herbal tinctures, jellies, syrup's, ointments/salves, tea's, and maybe some bath's ? or crafts ?, don't…

Last post left of with the lopsided Mythology class I took in highschool after Hades and Demeter cut me loose. So that's where today's post begins!

Once HAdes and Demeter cut me loose, I didn't know what to do. I tried going back to DRW, it still didn't fit, and my exposure to different paths at the time had been VERY limited still compaired to how many paths are out there to begin with. I spent a lot of time in this lost state trying to figure out where I belonged, if not…

Litha just passed, and I'm already preparing for Lammas. I've been invited to the "The Power of Witches" shop gatherings, I want to go very much, although I'm a little bit afraid. Well, maybe I'll meet new people over there. I want to bake a bread for Lammas, with some seed, very tasty!

And for the first days of july I'm going to the countryside house, to the nature, where we've got russian sauna and barbeque. :)

Meanwhile I decorated my pentagram and altar with green rowan.…

Felt like writing more, so here we go!



For most my life, I didn't know there was anything other then Christianity (the TV and Church versions) and Mormon (Door to Door Salespeople of the faith). Not that these paths arn't great for their followers, please don't get me wrong. I only had sertiant exposures to these religions is all.



My Grandma is a Christian, I'm not sure what Branch, exactly, but I know she watches this one Christian Paster on TV every sunday. As a kid, it…

Oh hey, a blog! My first one here. :o Kinda nice to have blogging options already all set up for use. So let's see, the first post...

In my intro on the forums I said I still feel like a beginner on my path - this is true, even though I've got a few years of walking.



I don't pratice spells, I don't cast circles, I can't meditate as of yet (aside from one time that turns out way too awesomely, I'll post about that later on!) So... what do I do?

I…

I made a pentagram out of twigs I gathered earlier in the Botanical Garden. I mean I have to put it into a circle, but I'm so happy with it right now, like it's radiating positive beams! I'm going to arrange a charging ritual with it, and in future I want to decorate it with some leaves and flowers. To bring it into a more beautiful condition. But I'm really glad with it! =^_^=

For those that know, and for those that don't know...I've had a huge road block in my relationship with my boyfriend for over a year now.  Things have come around, and I now know what went wrong.

But where do I go from here?  He couldn't verbally tell me what had happened, so he wrote it all down instead, which is fine, because at times I can't either.  Long story short, he had this belief from when he was younger that "Love is Free" it can't be tied down.  As he grew older…

There's this High Priestess that sort of infamous locally.  I've talked about her a bit in my videos in the past because I had a bit of a run-in with her when I first started out.  She didn't like me, and I was never really sure why.  I'm still not sure, to be honest, but I thought it was because I was working so prominently in the community she started.  I thought, given what others had said about her being power-hungry, somewhat crazy, mean-spirited, and all that, that she saw me as a…

Yestersay I really wanted to go out to the nature, to the forest, to celebrate this day. In the end I went out to the Botanical Garden. And the weather was good! Celebrating outdoors is a very different feeling. It absorbs you, fills you like a vessel with something cosmic.

We found a cosy meadow with my love, arranged a magic circle, spent some time there with our thoughts, not meditating, but concentrated on good ideas. I told fortunes by Tarot cards and made offerings to…

Tonight is Yule, a time for family. Most people seem to think of it as christmas, but tonight I learned the true meaning of family. It's not all "I love you, have a present". Sometimes, it's "I love you, I'll hold you as you lose someone you loved".

I spent most of the evening today holding the hand of a very lovely old lady while she died.

Her name was Edna, and she was my fiance's most beloved family member.…

Hurray! It's Litha and that means the summer issue of Little Witch magazine is up! 

Summer issue Little Witch Magazine, 2011.

Happy Litha, my friends! I wish you fruitful ideas and sunbeams! May all your endeavours to succeed! I'm sending bright smiles to all of you.

I'm in a very good mood, summer and positive, I'm going to the park to celebrate. ^_^ And what about you?

Wicca is one of the fastest-growing religions in the United States.

A faith practiced by many witches, wicca honors the God and goddess and gives reverence to the earth. Despite many misconceptions about wiccans, witches, and their practices, wicca and witchcraft have survived and are going strong, Let wicca's wisdom connect you to all, the source, and profound beauty of living in tune with nature.

I decided not to take up many different ideas at once but to start with just one thing, but make it qualitative. So I devoted myself to a Full Moon meditation and honoring the Goddess, and I charged my amulet with a Moon light. I mentally visited my sacred place, on a glade among trees, and I pictured how the Moon light cleanses and charges everything around with its energy, including the amulet on my neck.

This Full Moon influenced a lot of things. And at night I had a dream of…
