(One Person’s View Point) Samhain (Sow-en) – The Celtic roots of Halloween

As millions of children and adults participate in the fun of Halloween on the night of October 31st, few will be aware of its ancient Celtic roots in the Samhain (Samain) festival. In Celtic Ireland about 2,000 years ago, Samhain was the division of the year between the lighter half (summer) and the darker half (winter). At Samhain the division between this world and the otherworld was at its thinnest, allowing spirits to pass through.

The family’s ancestors were honoured and invited home whilst harmful spirits were warded off. People wore costumes and masks to disguise themselves as harmful spirits and thus avoid harm. Bonfires and food played a large part in the festivities. The bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into a communal fire, household fires were extinguished and started again from the bonfire. Food was prepared for the living and the dead, food for the ancestors who were in no position it eat it, was ritually shared with the less well off.

Christianity incorporated the honouring of the dead into the Christian calendar with All Saints (All Hallows) on November 1st, followed by All Souls on November 2nd. The wearing of costumes and masks to ward off harmful spirits survived as Halloween customs. The Irish emigrated to America in great numbers during the 19th century especially around the time of famine in Ireland during the 1840’s. The Irish carried their Halloween traditions to America, where today it is one of the major holidays of the year. Through time other traditions have blended into Halloween, for example the American harvest time tradition of carving pumpkins.

Two hills in the Boyne Valley were associated with Samhain in Celtic Ireland, Tlachtga and Tara. Tlachtga was the location of the Great Fire Festival which begun on the eve of Samhain (Halloween). Tara was also associated with Samhain, however it was secondary to Tlachtga in this respect.

The entrance passage to the Mound of the Hostages on the Hill of Tara is aligned with the rising sun around Samhain. The Mound of the Hostages is… Click here to read the rest of this article about Samhain

(One Person’s Viewpoint) Celebrating May Day – Beltane History

Celebrating May Day – Beltane History

 

The Fires of Tara:

Beltane kicks off the merry month of May, and has a long history. This fire festival is celebrated on May 1 with bonfires, Maypoles, dancing, and lots of good old fashioned sexual energy. The Celts honored the fertility of the gods with gifts and offerings, sometimes including animal or human sacrifice. Cattle were driven through the smoke of the balefires, and blessed with health and fertility for the coming year.

In Ireland, the fires of Tara were the first ones lit every year at Beltane, and all other fires were lit with a flame from Tara.

Roman Influences:

The Romans, always known for celebrating holidays in a big way, spent the first day of May paying tribute to their Lares, the gods of their household. They also celebrated the Floralia, or festival of flowers, which consisted of three days of unbridled sexual activity. Participants wore flowers in their hair (much like May Day celebrants later on), and there were plays, songs, and dances. At the end of the festivities, animals were set loose inside the Circus Maximus, and beans were scattered around to ensure fertility. The fire festival of Bona Dea was also celebrated on May 2nd.

A Pagan Martyr:

May 6 is the day of Eyvind Kelda, or Eyvind Kelve, in Norse celebrations. Eyvind Kelda was a Norwegian martyr who was tortured and drowned on the orders of King Olaf Tryggvason for refusing to give up his Pagan beliefs. A week later, Norwegians celebrate the Festival of the Midnight Sun, which pays tribute to the Norse sun goddess.

This festival marks the beginning of ten straight weeks without darkness.

The Greeks and Plynteria:

Also in May, the Greeks celebrated the Plynteria in honor of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and battle, and the patroness of the city of Athens (which was named after her). The Plynteria includes the ritual cleansing of Athena’s statue, along with feasting and prayers in the Parthenon. On the 24th, homage is paid to the Greek moon-goddess Artemis (goddess of the hunt and of wild animals). Artemis is a lunar goddess, equivalent to the Roman moon-goddess Diana – she is also identified with Luna, and Hecate.

The Green Man Emerges:

A number of pre-Christian figures are associated with the month of May, and subsequently Beltane. The entity known as the Green Man, strongly related to Cernunnos, is often found in the legends and lore of the British Isles, and is a masculine face covered in leaves and shrubbery. In some parts of England, a Green Man is carried through town in a wicker cage as the townsfolk welcome the beginning of summer. Impressions of the Green Man’s face can be found in the ornamentation of many of Europe’s older cathedrals, despite edicts from local bishops forbidding stonemasons from including such pagan imagery.

Jack-in-the-Green:

A related character is Jack-in-the-Green, a spirit of the greenwood. References to Jack appear in British literature back as far as the late sixteenth century. Sir James Frazer associates the figure with mummers and the celebration of the life force of trees. Jack-in-the-Green was seen even in the Victorian era, when he was associated with soot-faced chimney sweeps. At this time, Jack was framed in a structure of wicker and covered with leaves, and surrounded by Morris dancers. Some scholars suggest that Jack may have been a ancestor to the legend of Robin Hood.

Ancient Symbols, Modern Rites:

Today’s Pagans celebrate Beltane much like their ancestors did. A Beltane ritual usually involves lots of fertility symbols, including the obviously-phallic Maypole dance. The Maypole is a tall pole decorated with flowers and hanging ribbons, which are woven into intricate pattern by a group of dancers. Weaving in and out, the ribbons are eventually knotted together by the time the dancers reach the end.

In some Wiccan traditions, Beltane is a day in which the May Queen and the Queen of Winter battle one another for supremacy. In this rite, borrowed from practices on the Isle of Man, each queen has a band of supporters. On the morning of May 1, the two companies battle it out, ultimately trying to win victory for their queen. If the May Queen is captured by her enemies, she must be ransomed before her followers can get her back.

There are some who believe Beltane is a time for the faeries — the appearance of flowers around this time of year heralds the beginning of summer and shows us that the fae are hard at work. In early folklore, to enter the realm of faeries is a dangerous step — and yet the more helpful deeds of the fae should always be acknowledged and appreciated. If you believe in faeries, Beltane is a good time to leave out food and other treats for them in your garden or yard.

For many contemporary Pagans, Beltane is a time for planting and sowing of seeds — again, the fertility theme appears. The buds and flowers of early May bring to mind the endless cycle of birth, growth, death and rebirth that we see in the earth. Certain trees are associated with May Day, such as the Ash, Oak and Hawthorn. In Norse legend, the god Odin hung from an Ash tree for nine days, and it later became known as the World Tree, Yggdrasil.

If you’ve been wanting to bring abundance and fertility of any sort into your life — whether you’re looking to conceive a child, enjoy fruitfulness in your career or creative endeavors, or just see your garden bloom — Beltane is the perfect time for magical workings related to any type of prosperity.

Spell For Tomorrow – Potato Home Protection Spell

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. You can find the origin of the spell by clicking on the hyperlink.)

The element of Earth represents the energy of a strong, safe, and grounded foundation. So, in this spell, we’ll be using one of the most well-connected spell ingredients we could find.

The main ingredient of this house protection spell is a potato. Potatoes dig deep into the Earth, creating strong, nourishing roots. The plant, itself, is poisonous; this natural defense mechanism helps deter predators from harming the plant. So, we’ll utilize those two symbolic aspects of the potato to keep your home safe from harm, safe from negative energy, and full of nourishing love.

Potato Home Protection Spell

Spell Timing:

Waning Gibbous

Spell Ingredients:

Spell Directions:

  1. Cleanse: Cleanse your sacred space with a sage bundle or palo santo.
  2. Cast: If your spiritual path calls for it, cast a protective circle around your sacred space.
  3. Prepare:
    1. Using your boline, cut the potato into quarters. Each quarter represents a corner of your home.
    2. On the paper, draw the property outline of your property, making sure to draw it as large as the paper. Draw your home within the boundaries of your property.
    3. Place the candles at the 4 corners of your property line.
  4. Enchant: One by one, hold a quarter of a potato and light one candle. Say:
    1. Beacon of protection shine up to the sky
      Protect this beautiful house of mine
      I call down protection from all around
      To take root and protect us deep in the ground
      And as this plant begins to grow
      Harmful visitors shall turn and go
      Forget the reason you came here
      I no longer live in fear.
    2. Repeat this for each potato quarter.
  5. Visualize: Visualize a box of golden, protective light connecting each of the candles. Know and see that your home is safe.
  6. Close the circle: If you cast a circle for step two, take your circle down, now.
  7. Finish the spell: Let the candles burn out on their own. As they burn, bury one potato piece in each quarter of the yard. Visualize a box of golden, protective light connecting each of your property’s corners. Know and see that your home is safe.

In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.

In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.

The Waxing Crescent phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase

Five/5 of Pentacles – Minor Arcana

Loss; unpleasant differences

A man and a woman walk away from each other, each determined that their way or opinion is the only one. Five broken disks with pentacles lie on the ground between them. These disks symbolize life, friendship, cooperation, and/or love built between them, now destroyed because of ego and lack of compromise. Five dragons in the sky above them scream their anger and displeasure. Little dragons hiss at each other over the broken disks. The balance of the spiritual forces they have cultivated with their relationship has been upset, turning positive energies and events into negative ones.

Divinatory Meaning: Take care or there may be a loss of home or job. Differences arise that could divide friends or lovers. There may be a period of deep loneliness.

“Create a sacred space for yourself in your home and/or place of work”

A Sacred Space is an area in your home or work place where you have some privacy for contemplation, mediation, or simply a bit of quite time to think. If this isn’t possible to do at work, it becomes even more imperative that you provide this for yourself in your home. This is a space that is your territory, whether it’s an entire room or a corner of your living room or bedroom. Place a cozy chair or pillow there, and then set up a simple altar, one that contains a few pieces that are both personal and precious. Include a candle in your space that you can light when you’re abiding there. Make your sacred space a comfortable place to hang out, with no agenda or compulsion to do anything. As Buddha said, “Don’t just do something; sit there.”

You may find all sorts of reasons or excuses not to do this, but don’t cave in to these internal objections. Make it important enough for your emotional and mental health and balance to create this kind of private spiritual sanctuary. Be sure to do nothing in particular for a good period of the time you sit there. The increasingly rapid pace of life and growing intensities in the world are even greater cause for doing so. It’s a place for solace, one where you can more closely listen to your inner voice and feelings, and tap into the Life Force inside that’s expressing itself as you.

Associations: Rarity; Vegetarianism; Polarity; Willpower; Solitude; Privacy; Sacred Space; Intuition; Perspective; Gentleness; Strength; Flexibility; Modesty; Economy

St – Straith

This symbol, used for the sound St, is Straith (sometimes seen as Straif), the Blackthorn tree. A symbol of authority and control, the Blackthorn is connected to strength and triumph over adversity. Blackthorn is a tree (although some might argue it’s more of a really big shrub) of winter, and its berries only ripen after the first frost. White flowers appear in the spring, and the bark is black and thorny.

On a medicinal level, Blackthorn berries–sloe berries–are brewed to make a tonic (this is what Sloe Gin is made from). The tonic can be used as a laxative and/or diuretic, as well as a skin astringent. In folklore, the Blackthorn has a fairly unpleasant reputation. An English legend refers to a devastating winter as a “Blackthorn Winter.” It also represents the darker side of magic and witchcraft. Because it’s a plant that becomes hardy when all around it is dying, it is associated with the Dark Mother, the Crone aspect of the Goddess, particularly the Cailleach in some parts of Scotland and Ireland. There is also a strong connection to the Morrighan, because of Blackthorn’s association with the blood and death of warriors. In fact, in early Celtic culture, the Blackthorn was popular for its use in the cudgel shillelagh.

Straith Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: Expect the unexpected, especially when it comes to change. Your plans may be altered, or even destroyed, so plan to deal with it. The appearance of Straith often indicates the influence of external forces.

Magical Aspects: You’re at the beginning of a new journey, and there will be some surprises–possibly unpleasant ones–along the way. Overcoming these obstacles will give you strength. Realize that you–and your life–are changing.

I Ching

Hexagram Fifty – Eight/58

Tui / Empowering

The joyous Lake spans on and on to the horizon:
The Superior Person renews and expands his Spirit through heart-to-heart exchanges with others.

Success if you stay on course.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

This is the sign of true companionship.
The principals in this situation exchange energy, ideas and feelings, constantly invigorating and encouraging each other to new heights of Spiritual achievement and Self-discovery.
This exchange is not for the glory of the Team, but for furthering the process of each individual’s ‘Te’, or pure potentiality.

Being a Taurus born on April 21st…

 Astrological symbol: Bull. The sign of the Bull influences people born between April 20 and May 20, when in tropical astrology the Sun is considered to be in Taurus. It refers to natives who are tactful but also courageous and confident.

 The Taurus Constellation, one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac is placed between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East and its visible latitudes are +90° to -65°. The brightest star is Aldebaran while the whole formation is spread on 797 sq degrees.

 The French name it Taureau while the Italians prefer their own Toro, however the origin of the April 21 zodiac sign, the Bull, is the Latin Taurus.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. This is important because it reflects upon the patience and intelligence of Scorpio natives who are thought to be and have everything those born under the Taurus sun sign want.

 Modality: Fixed. This shows critique and joyfulness and also how unique natives born on April 21 truly are.

 Ruling house: The second house. This is the space of material possession and all the things valuable in one’s life. The combination with Taurus can only double his/her quest for personal possession from the frivolity of money to moral principles.

 Ruling body: Venus. This celestial planet symbolizes unification and excitement. Venus is considered the yin side while Mars is the yang side. Venus is also suggestive for the generosity component of these personalities.

 Element: Earth. This element incorporates practicality and an interestingly cautious dynamic in the lives of those born under April 21 sign.

 Lucky day: Friday. This is a day ruled by Venus, therefore deals with indulgence and harmony. It suggests the patient nature of Taurus natives.

 Lucky numbers: 4, 8, 13, 18, 20.

 Motto: “I own!”

People born on April 21 have stable and persevering temperaments and they often choose to be patient and wait for a certain result rather than force things out. They are the ones who know how to appreciate refinement and the sentimental value of even material possessions. They dislike getting into any heated arguments but they are quick to show how stubborn they are when they consider something is important enough as to be worth the fight. They can be very tactful and understanding but only with those who gain their attention and respect.

 Positive Traits: These natives have a lot of grace and dignity and they seem to show these behaviors in almost everything they do. They are unfailing and almost everyone can count on them as long as they show the same dignity consideration as they how. They are rapid to offer a helping hand and can be extremely caring with those dearest to them.

 Negative Traits: These individuals need to understand that being prejudiced brings them a lot of trouble and damages the quality relationships they try to build around them. They are often indulgent, lazy and stubborn and this can only add even more trouble to the mix. They need to stop being so materialistic and possessive and to start looking beyond these things in life if they want to relieve some of their frustration.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on April 21 are sensual and passionate. These natives seem to prefer to enter a serious relationship than date around and are happier committed to one person with whom they can share everything. They are attracted to creative, enthusiastic and dependable persons whom they can spoil and protect. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you maintain your individuality and a degree of independence while you keep all your eyes on them but also offer them space. When they are single they don’t seem to mind solitude as they find it easier to delight on the pleasures of life on their own without having to worry about making their partner feel loved and protected.

 They are likely to surprise everyone around them with the passionate love they are capable of, only if they come across someone that will truly awake their interest. Otherwise they are aware of their attractiveness and this leads them to a tumultuous love life, falling in and out of love. A creative, freedom lover, once decided to settle will invest all their attention in their family and they will probably have brilliant children. Some struggle, trial and error will govern parts of their love life but in the end everything will be worth it. They are most compatible with those born on the 6th, 9th, 15th, 18th, 24th and 27th. April 21 Zodiac people are most attracted to the other earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Taurus is permanently seeking for an unpredictable companion who can keep his interest alive and the best to offer them this is the native born under Scorpio. The lover in Taurus is said to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of partnerships between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: Green is the representative color for those born under the April 21.

Green suggests the fertility or nature that regenerates each and every time. Green is a safe color that transmits balance and harmony. This zodiac color is advised to be used in accessories and items of clothing.

People who have green as sign color are balanced, friendly and down to earth nurturers by choice. In order to feel good about themselves, they need to always help others and be supportive of good causes. They have a deep need to love and be loved and consider that belonging to the right person and creating a family with him or her is the greatest thing someone can achieve.

Other hues for Taurus natives are pink, yellow and most earth tones.

Representative Birthstone: The stunning emerald is the birthstone of preference for Taurus natives, especially those born under the April 21.

Emerald presents a precious stone that reflects harmony and the power of regeneration. This zodiac birthstone could be used in accessories and bracelets.

Characteristic flower: Poppy is the flower that is considered lucky for those Taurus natives with April 21.

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today

For the first time in years I am going to be setting up books and things for someone else’s small business. While I have set up books for many different types of businesses in the past I have never worked in the real estate business before so I am a bundle of nerves stepping out of my comfort zone. This is a contract job so basically I am a consultant for the owner of the properties. I am confident in the programs I will be using but still that first day of work nerves have me apprehensive. So if you want to please wish me luck in this new endeavor in my life. I will get as many posts done as I can before I have to leave.

If you want to see information on any tradition of witchcraft, herbs, flowers, a Goddess or a God, or anything about any tradition of witchcraft, please put it in the comment section or email Lady Carla Beltane at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com. I will try to find some information to post about it.

May your and your family’s lives be filled with love, happiness, laughter, joy, and positive things!

Blessed be
