Wednesday is also a day that acquired its name from an old Norse god – Odin. In the Germanic, in particular Saxon tribes, he was also called Woten or Wodin, hence Wednes-day or Woden’s day. Odin is the All-Father in the Norse pantheon and rules wisdom, mischief, poetry, quests and the runes (among many other things). Wednesday is ruled by the planet Mercury, which rules communication and more. So, if you cast on Wednesday, it should be for one of the following intentions: communication (verbal and written), technology, cars/transportation, wisdom, clarity, spiritual growth or enlightenment, travel, psychic abilities, courage, divination (particularly the runes), and power.

Wednesday’s Magical Correspondences:

Magical Intentions: divination, wisdom, knowledge, education, traveling, communication, spiritual enlightenment, courage, mischief

Crystals: Agate, citrine, aventurine, sodalite, lapis, hematite, emerald

Herbs: lavender, rosemary, fern, cherry, licorice, poppy, mugwort, plantain, apple, fennel, chervil

Gods/Goddesses: Odin, Mercury, Hermes

Wednesday is named for Wotan (Odin), closest Norse equivalent to the fleet-footed Roman god. Adaptable Mercury rules learning, luck, travel, and trade, so Wednesday is good for workings on any of these matters.  Improve communication. Increase focus and alertness. Prosper in business or games of chance.  Make or consecrate money-drawing charms. Wednesday is also a fine day for divination, especially using cards, runes, or lots. Mercury is a nimble trickster, so if you were going to do a spell to distract or mislead (not that you would!), Wednesday is the day for those shenanigans.

(One Person’s View Point) Witchcraft 101: Naked c.2016

Witchcraft 101: Naked

There is a simple word that can strike fear into the heart of the bravest Witch: skyclad.

Skyclad is the word we use to mean, well, nude. As in, “This month’s full moon ritual will be done skyclad.”

Starkers, as the Brits say. In your birthday suit. Sans clothing. In your altogether. In short, buck-naked. Or as my dad used to say, “stark, nuked nade.”

Either way, it means you are out there under the moon with the breeze blowing through your, er….everything.

Some Witches are very comfortable practicing skyclad. Others wouldn’t do it on a bet. Still others save such dedication for their solitary rituals and prefer to wear garb when gathering with their fellow Witches.

All of the above is fine. There is no rule that says you have to perform Witchcraft naked (thank the Goddess), although there are some traditions where that is the norm. And although in the Charge of the Goddess it says “ye shall be naked in your rites,” this doesn’t mean that you have to stand outside at midwinter freezing your whatsits off.

As with most things witchy, you should use your own judgment and do what feels right to you. If you’re comfortable being naked, by all means do your rituals skyclad. If you’re not, you would probably find your nakedness so distracting that you wouldn’t be able to concentrate on your magick anyway, so there’s not much point to it.

The important thing to remember is that in the case of group rituals, you should discuss such things ahead of time and make sure that everyone agrees. There isn’t much that is more disconcerting than showing up at a ritual to find out that you are expected to disrobe when you weren’t planning on it.

(One Person’s View Point) Wicca, Witchcraft or Paganism?

As you study and learn more about magical living and modern Paganism, you’re going to see the words witch, Wiccan, and Pagan pretty regularly, but they’re not all the same. As if that wasn’t confusing enough, we often discuss Paganism and Wicca, as if they’re two different things. So what’s the deal? Is there a difference between the three? Quite simply, yes, but it’s not as cut and dried as you might imagine.

Wicca is a tradition of Witchcraft that was brought to the public by Gerald Gardner in the 1950s. There is a great deal of debate among the Pagan community about whether or not Wicca is truly the same form of Witchcraft that the ancients practiced. Regardless, many people use the terms Wicca and Witchcraft interchangeably. Paganism is an umbrella term used to apply to a number of different earth-based faiths. Wicca falls under that heading, although not all Pagans are Wiccan.

So, in a nutshell, here’s what’s going on. All Wiccans are witches, but not all witches are Wiccans. All Wiccans are Pagans, but not all Pagans are Wiccans. Finally, some witches are Pagans, but some are not – and some Pagans practice witchcraft, while others choose not to.

If you’re reading this page, chances are you’re either a Wiccan or Pagan, or you’re someone who’s interested in learning more about the modern Pagan movement. You may be a parent who’s curious about what your child is reading, or you might be someone who is unsatisfied with the spiritual path you’re on right now. Perhaps you’re seeking something more than what you’ve had in the past. You might be someone who’s practiced Wicca or Paganism for years, and who just wants to learn more.

For many people, the embracing of an earth-based spirituality is a feeling of “coming home”. Often, people say that when they first discovered Wicca, they felt like they finally fit in. For others, it’s a journey TO something new, rather than running away from something else.

Psychic Communication Spell

This spell will help increase your long-distance psychic abilities. For it, you’ll need a like-minded partner who does not live with you. Set a time when you can perform this ritual with your friend. You’ll both need a white candle and charged amethyst stone. At the designated time, each of you should light your candle and gaze at the flame. Handle the amethyst stone. Concentrate on one thought; visualize a blue-white light surrounding the candle. Then, project your thought in the direction of your partner. Limit this exercise to about ten minutes. Extinguish the candle and call your friend. Tell each other what you felt, thought, or any images you saw. Perform this ritual at least once a month and you will increase your psychic awareness. Ideally, this spell should be worked on Mondays or Wednesdays, during a waxing Moon.

May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.

As a Cancer born on July 9th, you make a great representor of the people, especially because of how empathic you are. Trying not to let yourself defined by things in your past, you always reinvent yourself and aim to better who you are.

A charming personality, you are quick to attract people to you but not always very careful in keeping them close. Prepare to read an exceptional horoscope profile below.

 The zodiac sign for July 9 is Cancer.

 Astrological symbol: Crab. It is representative for people born between June 21 and July 22 when the Sun is in Cancer. This symbol denotes meticulous and emotional individuals.

 The Cancer Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, with the brightest star being beta Cancri. It is quite small covering an area of only 506 square degrees. It lies between Gemini to the West and Leo to the East, covering visible latitudes between +90° and -60°.

 The name Cancer is the Latin name for Crab. In Greece, Karkinos is the name of the sign for July 9 zodiac sign, while in Spain and France they also use Cancer.

 Opposite sign: Capricorn. This suggests that this sign and Cancer are complementary and placed across each other on the astrological wheel, meaning protection and acceptance and some sort of balancing act between the two.

 Modality: Cardinal. The quality proposes the optimistic nature of those born on July 9 and their structure and fairness in regard to most life situation.

 Ruling house: The fourth house. This house placement symbolizes the secure domestic place, family and history and reveals why these have always played an important part in the lives of Cancerians.

 Ruling body: Moon. This celestial planet reveals intuition and practicality and also highlights loving sense. The Moon glyph is a crescent showing its mobility.

 Element: Water. This element symbolizes renewal and is recognized to rule over the emotional side that is sometimes controlling those associated with July 9 and makes them base their actions more on feelings rather than on reason. Water also gets new significances in association with fire, making things boil, with air that dissipates it or with earth that models things.

 Lucky day: Monday. Cancer best identifies with the flow of the defining Monday while this is doubled by the connection between Monday and its ruling by the Moon.

 Lucky numbers: 2, 9, 11, 16, 25.

 Motto: “I feel!”

 People born on July 9 are as transformable as the Moon and we all know how rapidly Moon phases transformation. They are also very conscious and artistic.

They enjoy staying at home and the occasion to peep in the lives of others. They dislike being mocked and entering into controversies. Those born under this sign like to spend time in familiar company if possible somewhere around water.

 Positive Traits: These natives have a great memory and are great listeners so don’t be surprised if they store a lot of memories in those witty heads of them.

They are sensible but also have leader like qualities and all they need is someone to fortify their self confidence to unravel them.

 Negative Traits: These natives are manipulative and behave in a contradictory way just to achieve what they want. They are thick skinned but love to play the victim so it is not too much time until they start behaving like a drama queen whenever they don’t agree with something. They are also dwelling in the past and this creates both a lot of frustration and depression in their lives but their biggest fault in this regard is that they are partially aware of this and refuse to take any measures.

They are also the most protective lovers from the whole zodiac once their own security and stability needs are fulfilled. They have an extra quality in love, they are highly intuitive and usually follow their gut so they are rarely wrong in their choices. They are attracted to creative and imaginative people. You can conquer the heart of Cancer if you know how to offer the support and protection they need and love them unconditionally.

 Their love life is rather hectic and unpredictable because they tend to be in and out of love quite easy and for no particular reason. They find it hard to connect to a deeper level with one person. For them, relationships and settling will probably be a complex matter but once they decide to have their own family they will turn out to be very protective and patient. They are most compatible with those born on the 3th, 5th, 6th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 21th, 23th, 24th and 31st.

What’s the Difference?

Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are two significant astronomical events that mark the extremes of the Earth’s axial tilt. Summer Solstice occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere, while Winter Solstice takes place around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and June 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. During Summer Solstice, the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun experiences the longest day of the year, with the Sun reaching its highest point in the sky. In contrast, Winter Solstice brings the shortest day of the year, with the Sun at its lowest point in the sky. These solstices have cultural and historical importance, often celebrated with various rituals and festivals around the world.

Further Detail

Introduction

The solstices are significant astronomical events that mark the changing of seasons. The Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are two of the most well-known solstices, occurring in opposite hemispheres of the Earth. While the Summer Solstice represents the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice marks the shortest day of the year. In this article, we will explore the attributes of both solstices, highlighting their unique characteristics and the impact they have on various aspects of life.

Summer Solstice

The Summer Solstice, also known as Midsummer, is a time when the Northern Hemisphere experiences the longest day and shortest night of the year. It usually falls on June 20th or 21st. This astronomical event occurs when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is most inclined towards the sun, resulting in the sun reaching its highest point in the sky.

One of the most notable attributes of the Summer Solstice is the extended daylight hours. The sun rises early and sets late, providing ample time for outdoor activities and enjoyment of the warm weather. This extended daylight has a significant impact on agriculture, as it allows for increased photosynthesis and growth of crops. Farmers take advantage of this period to maximize their harvests and ensure bountiful yields.

Furthermore, the Summer Solstice holds cultural and spiritual significance in many societies. It is celebrated in various ways around the world, often with festivals, bonfires, and rituals. For example, the ancient monument of Stonehenge in England attracts thousands of visitors who gather to witness the sunrise on this special day. The solstice is seen as a time of renewal, abundance, and connection with nature.

Additionally, the Summer Solstice has a profound impact on wildlife. Many animals, such as birds, migrate during this time, taking advantage of the extended daylight to find food and build nests. It is also a crucial period for plant pollination, as the longer days provide more opportunities for insects and birds to carry out this essential process.

In terms of climate, the Summer Solstice brings warmer temperatures and the onset of summer. It is a time when people flock to beaches, lakes, and other outdoor destinations to enjoy the sun and engage in recreational activities. The longer days and increased sunlight also have positive effects on human health, as exposure to sunlight stimulates the production of vitamin D, which is essential for bone health and overall well-being.

Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice, also known as Midwinter, is the counterpart to the Summer Solstice. It occurs around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere when the Earth’s axis is tilted furthest away from the sun. As a result, the Winter Solstice represents the shortest day and longest night of the year.

One of the most prominent attributes of the Winter Solstice is the limited daylight hours. The sun rises late and sets early, leading to longer periods of darkness. This reduced sunlight has implications for various aspects of life, including agriculture, human activities, and wildlife behavior.

In terms of agriculture, the Winter Solstice marks a period of dormancy for many crops. The limited sunlight and colder temperatures slow down plant growth, and farmers often use this time to prepare for the upcoming spring season. It is a time for planning, maintenance, and reflection on the previous year’s harvest.

From a cultural perspective, the Winter Solstice holds significant meaning in many societies. It is often associated with celebrations and festivals that embrace the return of light and the promise of longer days. For example, the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia and the modern-day celebration of Christmas both coincide with the Winter Solstice. These festivities bring people together, fostering a sense of warmth, joy, and hope during the darkest time of the year.

Furthermore, the Winter Solstice affects wildlife behavior in various ways. Many animals adapt to the limited daylight by hibernating or migrating to warmer regions. The scarcity of food during this time also influences the feeding patterns of certain species. Additionally, the Winter Solstice provides unique opportunities for observing nocturnal animals and appreciating the beauty of the night sky.

In terms of climate, the Winter Solstice brings colder temperatures and the official start of winter. It is a time when people bundle up in warm clothing, gather around fireplaces, and engage in indoor activities. The limited daylight can have an impact on mental health, as some individuals may experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD) due to reduced exposure to sunlight. However, the Winter Solstice also offers a chance for introspection, rest, and rejuvenation.

Conclusion

The Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are two significant astronomical events that mark the changing of seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. While the Summer Solstice represents the longest day and brings extended daylight, warmth, and abundance, the Winter Solstice marks the shortest day and brings limited daylight, colder temperatures, and a time for reflection. Both solstices hold cultural, agricultural, and ecological importance, shaping various aspects of life on Earth. Whether it’s celebrating the sun’s zenith during the Summer Solstice or embracing the return of light during the Winter Solstice, these celestial events remind us of the cyclical nature of our planet and the interconnectedness of all living beings.

10 Winter Solstice Rituals to Welcome the Season’s Magic

As the wheel of the year once again turns toward the chill of winter, I find myself eagerly anticipating the quiet hush that descends with the snow. The Winter Solstice, a time of equal night and day, beckons us into a world of stillness, a pause in the breath of the earth before the slow exhale into longer days.

This celestial event marks a pivotal point in our journey around the sun, a moment of balance before the scales tip towards the growing light. It’s a perfect moment to pause and think about what this change brings to our lives. Remember, everything in life is cyclical – there’s always something ending and something else beginning. Today, we’ve got a list of some of our favorite Winter Solstice Rituals to help you celebrate the end of long dark days.

What is the Winter Solstice?

The winter solstice is a point in time when the night is at its longest and the day its shortest. It is marked by the Sun’s most southerly position relative to the celestial equator, an occurrence that takes place around December 21 or 22 in the Northern Hemisphere and around June 20 or 21 in the Southern Hemisphere. This celestial event signifies the start of winter, a period that extends until the spring equinox.

Embracing the Stillness

The Winter Solstice invites us to embrace the stillness and the introspective nature of the season. It’s a profound time to gather close, sharing the warmth of hearth and home while feasting on winter’s offerings like root vegetables, hearty stews, nuts, and citrus fruits.

The winter solstice, also known as Yule, is the deepest part of winter – a time for rest and renewal. It’s celebrated with quiet reflection, cozy gatherings, and rituals that honor the longest night and the rebirth of the sun. It’s a moment to light candles, share stories, and set intentions for the returning light.

Each chapter of our lives brings its unique lessons, just as the seasons change and bring their own forms of energy. Honoring the winter solstice helps us to cultivate inner strength and resilience as we navigate life’s colder, more reflective times.

The Wheel of the Year turns, and with it, we find guidance for living a life of harmony. It teaches us to flow with the natural rhythms of the earth, celebrating our connection to the cycles of nature. By observing these ancient traditions, we align ourselves with the natural world, finding a more balanced approach to life that honors our need for rest, reflection, and connection during the winter months.

10 Winter Solstice Rituals

In the spirit of this introspective season, I invite you to join me in embracing the stillness through ten heartfelt Winter Solstice rituals that honor the quietude and depth of winter:

1) Welcome the Dawn

One of my favorite winter solstice rituals is to greet the new dawn. On the morning of the solstice, rise while the stars still twinkle in the pre-dawn sky, finding your place in the world’s hushed tones before the day begins. Stand in the crisp air, feeling the stillness of the earth, and watch with reverence as the horizon slowly brightens.

Engage all your senses as the first light creeps across the sky, expressing silent gratitude for the sun’s return after the longest night. Notice as the world transitions from night to day—perhaps it’s the frost sparkling on the grass, the early birds’ tentative chirping, or the fresh scent of pine in the cold morning air.

With the light’s gentle increase, offer your words of appreciation and love to the dawn. Speak of the beauty found in the quiet, the peace of the world at rest, and the promise of the lengthening days to come. You might leave behind a heartfelt gift to the morning—a written verse, a hand-drawn sketch, or a splash of water on the earth—anything that feels like a fitting tribute to the solstice morn.

As the sun rises, take a deep breath, filling your lungs with the cold, pure air, and then retreat indoors to enjoy a warm mug of winter spice herbal tea. This act of welcoming the dawn on the winter solstice is a profound reminder of the ever-turning wheel of the year and the continuous cycle of renewal and rebirth.

5) Journaling by Firelight

10 Beautiful Rituals for Summer Solstice

Celebrate the first day of summer on December 21st with these rituals for summer solstice. May they bring you joy, love, and light in your life.

In nature-based faiths, the summer solstice is known as Litha and is considered one of the most sacred sabbats of the year. It marks the start of the summer months and the longest day of the year before the nights start to grow longer again.

People gather at Stonehenge for day and night long celebrations watching the sun align and shine through a certain point in the structure. In its most basic essence, this day is a celebration of the sun and that it is still shining on us. It will go out one day—but we should revel in our good fortune that we were born at this point in Earth’s evolution. The solstice also holds deeper nature metaphors for life, fertility, and the cycle of time and seasons. No matter what your view of spirituality or nature, it’s always worth celebrating when there’s sunshine involved!

It’s Summer Solstice!

What better time to get together with friends, family, and loved ones, and celebrate the source of all life? What better time to acknowledge the life force energy within us and give back to Creation some of the energy and blessings that we are always receiving. The Earth constantly provides for all of us with her incredible bounty, and the Sun’s warmth provides the light necessary for all living beings to thrive and prosper.

Creating ceremonies, celebrations, or rituals for summer solstice is a way for humans to express gratitude for these gifts. We have so many things to be thankful for—our families, our friends, our homes—and there are so many ways we can express our gratitude for those things: through words and actions, through gifts and offerings, through celebration.

The summer solstice is a great day on which to create your own ceremony or ritual of gratitude. It’s also a good time to connect with nature; find someplace where you can sit in silence with just yourself and your thoughts. There’s something invigorating about spending time alone in nature; it helps us reconnect with ourselves as well as with the natural world around us.

Rituals for Summer Solstice

1. Gather herbs

One of my favorite rituals for summer solstice is to gather plants and healing herbs as our ancestors did. Five common Celtic sacred plants associated with Midsummer are St. John’s Wort, Vervain, Yarrow, Fern, and Mugwort.

Manifold ceremonial features are associated with the Midsummer celebrations, but the lore of herbs and plants traditionally took the center spotlight around this special festivity. Herbs constitute a strong element for celebrating the Midsummer solstice due to their strong connections with magical and healing powers.

Incense for Cernunnos: Cedar, Musk, Pine, Sandalwood.

Offerings to Cernnunos: Bones, Fruit, Grains, Red meat, Wine, Milk, Water, Moss, Fresh soil.

The Celtic Forest God, Cernunnos, gets his name from a Latin word which means “the horned one”. His original name was lost but the name Cernunnos was inscribed in the Pilier des Nautes, a Gaelic-Roman monument found under the Notre Dame cathedral, in Paris, France in 1711.

As a Horned God, he can take the place of consort of the Goddess in the Wiccan Pantheon (God and Goddess). And as a primordial deity in Neopagan traditions, his male principality makes him often be merged with other gods such as Pan and the Green Man.

He is believed to be the god of abundance and ruler of wild animals. His nature is essentially earthly. He is usually depicted with the ears and horns of a deer and wearing a “torque”, the sacred neck ornament of Celtic gods and heroes.

Devotional text

Cernunnos, Guardian of the cauldron of plenty, I call to You.
Horned One, Dark One, Receiver of the Dead, Granter of Rest, I call to You.
God of freedom, God of sexuality, God of cleansing, God of rebirth, I call to You.
Mighty Lord of the Woods and Animals, Hunter and Hunted, I call to You.

I pray you to be present with me in this Sacred Space.
Let Your gaze fall upon this Sacred Ground.
In-dwell my rite and give me Your blessing.
Great Horned One, come into the Circle!

Pour over me the gift of your wealth, and place in my hands the spirit of fortune.
Let the gold and silver come from the four corners of the world and bless me.

Because you are a god that creates and multiplies,
From the top of my head to the soles of my feet,
Surround me with a stream of wealth.
Unleash your prosperity and let health and protection accompany me.

I hear your words, Cernunnos, the voice of the Horned One,  Whose names are uncountable:
You are the wild hunter of the forest deep,
You are the fire upon the hill, And the sower of the seed,

The wilderness is your shrine.
You wield the oaken staff, the elements at your call.
By day you are the sun, by night you ride upon the wild winds
For all things wild and free are in your keeping.

And all things of beauty and freedom and love delight you.
You are the Ancient One. Your faces outnumber the stars.
I am the Horned One of uncountable names, you are the gentle and the fierce
You are Cernunnos, the Ancient One, Lord and Sire of the Universe.

Spells and rituals: luck, happiness, health, legal matters, male fertility, treasure, wealth, honour, riches, clothing, money, desires, business, group pursuits, joy, laughter, and expansion.

Thrifty Thursday spells:

Write what you want to manifest on a bay leaf and burn it.

Start your morning with a slice of whole wheat toast. Add butter or your choice of spread in the form of a dollar symbol ($) and feel the abundance and prosperity entering your life. 

Have a meal with a good friends or family. Laugh a lot and feel how abundant your life is with the love and friendships you have.

Ahhh Jupiter, you giant dick. While he is the go-to for power, money and good fortune, he’s about the long game. Fast money? Nope. He will give you more of what you have, so if you’re broke, you may be even more impoverished if you use any of his influence. Be careful with them herbs. Looking for justice? Thursday. Signing contracts or making big money moves? Thursday. Abundance looks different to everyone, but this is the day of plenty….sometimes that is just plenty of what you already have man. I’m serious here. My money spells done in the past before I got my shit together created lasting wounds. Expansion is painful when it comes from a space of lack. I said “I need money! I am broke” and he said “Hold my beer you desperate witch” and then I cried. Great money day if you are attracting what you are, but not what you want. I speak from my own experience and yours may differ, but if your money spells have backfired, look at the day and associations. If you see anything, take note. Everyone is different but I am not even ashamed to say that it took me years to figure this one out for my own magic. Good day for court and child support I must say.
