For your listening and viewing pleasure…

Wiccan by RowandWhitewolf

I always do a rededication to my spiritual path on the calendars new year’s eve. I feel this helps me to shed the negative things and feeling of the past year. Leaving me to enter the new calendar year with a brighter outlook and carrying less stress.

I do a magickal rededication, a through house cleansing and blessing on Samhain. On November 1st I do a deep cleansing on all my magickal tools and rededicate them for the purpose I use them for.

By doing these things at these times I have found any goals I set for the coming calendar year have a better chance of coming to fruition.

At both rededications I read our loud the full Wiccan Rede or as I call it the Wicce (Wise Woman) Rede and Law of Three a.k.a. Threefold Law. Above is the condensed version of both. Well actually the Law of Three comes from the Wiccan Rede.

I am sharing this personal information because I would love to hear what you do for the new calendar year and Witch’s new year on Samhain. Please leave a comment below or if you would rather keep it private email me at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com

A Little Humor for Your Day – More Circle Etiquette

More Circle Etiquette

  • Never summon Anything you can’t banish.
  • Never put asafoetida on the rocks in the sweat lodge.
  • Do not attempt to walk more than 10 paces while wearing all of your ritual jewelry, dream bags and crystals at the same time.
  • When proposing to initiate someone, do not mention the Great Rite, leer, and say, “Hey, your trad or mine?”
  • Never laugh at someone who is skyclad. They can see you, too.
  • Never, *ever* set the Witch on fire.
  • Looking at nifty pictures is not a valid path to mastering the ancient grimoires. Please read thoroughly and carefully from beginning to end so that your madness and gibberings will at least make some sense.
  • A good grasp of ritual and ritual techniques are essential! In the event of a random impaling, or other accidental death amongst the participants, (see next rule) a quick thinker can improvise to ensure successful completion of the Rite. Make them another sacrifice, Demons really love those those.
  • Watch where you wave the sharp pointy items.
  • Avoid walking through disembodied spirits.
  • Carry an all-purpose translator’s dictionary in case the ritual leader begins talking in some strange and unknown language.
  • Avoid joining your life force to anything with glowing red eyes.
  • If asked to sign a contract or pact and you are experiencing doubts or reservations, sign your neighbor’s name. Malevolent entities rarely ask for photo ID.
  • Blood IS thicker than water. Soak ritual garments an extra 30-45 minutes.
  • While drunken weaving may be mistaken for ecstatic dancing, slurring the names of Deities is generally considered bad form.

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today

Words of wisdom from one of my German great-grandma’s kitchen:

“We get to soon old and too late smart”

When I would read this off a trivet in her kitchen at 5 years old I didn’t understand what it meant but as I tell people now I don’t get a year older with each passing birthday I get a year wiser the trivet now makes sense to me. It brings to mind something I told everyone of my 5 children when they were in their “know-it-all” teen phase I hope you know as much as you think you do now when you get to be grandma’s age (meaning my mom). SO try to learn something new daily if possible about a topic you no nothing about it will help keep your mind young and fill you with somewhat useful knowledge.

I was absent last week due to time constraints and my health. I am feeling good again and will be posting most of the regular daily posts until my next fibromyalgia flare. Today’s posts will be up when we get home from Big Dawg’s job this afternoon.
