September 25

September 25, 2008

On this date in ancient Greece, a feast of beans known as the Pyanopsia was celebrated annually in honor of the great Olympian god Apollo and the three beautiful goddesses of the four seasons known as the Horae.

The birthday of Sedna, the Eskimo goddess of both the sea and the Underworld, is celebrated annually on this date in Greenland, northeastern Siberia, and the Arctic coastal regions of North America.

A good time to start over

Merry Meet,

After a very long hiatus I decided to start writing here again. Life has brought me a lot of things to think about and the goddess gave me lots of insights in the past years. Now it’s time to pick up my pieces and start over again.

So from now on, you’ll find regular (yes, regular :) ) posts here.

Hoping you all had a wonderfull Mabon and wishing you the brightest blessings!

Witches’ Ladder

June 11, 2006

Another charm that can be made and blessed on your altar is a Witches’ Ladder. It’s intended to bring good fortune over the coming year. You will need the following:
9 different coloured bird’s feathers;
1 yard of red ribbon;
1 yard of white ribbon;
1 yard of black ribbon.
Here are 9 possible colours you could use:
green for money;
red for passion;
white for creativity;
black to stop bad habits;
brown for balance;
yellow for happiness;
orange for health;
blue for peace;
purple for wisdom.
You shouldn’t be limited to these. Personalize your Ladder depending on where you want the luck to be centred.
Begin braiding the ribbons together and attaching the feathers into the braid at equal distances as you go. As you braid in each feather bless it depending on its intended purpose. Here are a few for example:
Green, the colour of money be
Filling my pockets and blessing me
Red, the colour of passion be
Filling my heart and blessing me
White the colour, creativity be
Filling my soul and blessing me
Once all the feathers are braided in, tie the two ends of the braided ribbon together into a ring and place it on your altar. Bless it by saying something like this:
With this ring and braid of three
May good fortune come to me
Leave the Ladder on your altar until the candles have burnt out then hang it up somewhere in your home where it won’t be disturbed.
