Magic Potions

 Potion is a catch-all word for any herbal simple, brew or
tincture. Using heat the qualities of the magical herbs are
transferred into the liquid. There are many reasons to make
potions. An elixir for strength, a medicinal preparation, a
love potion ect.

 Herbal simples are made by boiling any single herb in
purified water, sometimes called a Tea. Depending on the
plant that the simple is made from it may be drunk for
magical, culinary or healing purposes. You must take great
care never to drink a poisonous herb or plant! Get several
reputable Herbal Books and always double check, when in
doubt don't risk anything.

 A brew is much the same as a simple excepting that it is
a synthesized combination of herbs combined specifically for
the purpose at hand. Both brews and simples rarely keep for
long. Tinctures on the other hand can be kept for longer
periods of time as they contain alcohol which has
preservative properties.

 A tincture is most simply made by soaking an herb or a
combination of herbs in alcohol for a week, shaking it
everyday. At the end of the week separate the liquid from
the used herbs by straining through a cloth. Add new herbs
and repeat each week for another three weeks. At the end of
this period you will have a concentrated tincture.

 For maximum effect, start this process on the appropriate
day of the week in the proper phase of the moon. Store
tinctures in a dark glass bottle with a tight seal away
from heat and sunlight.

Candle Magic Lesson

 Candle Magic is an effective, time tested way to perform your Spells. With a
few simple, easy to access ingredients you can gather, direct and send out any
intention you wish. By your Will the candle burns to your purpose.

Tools for Candle Magic:

 You should have a hearty stock of 6-10" white taper candles on hand at all
times as they make excellent Altar Candles by which you can see during workings.
They will also serve in a pinch for any purpose if they are white.

 For specific spells and workings you may want to keep a small collection of 4"
coloured taper candles in most every colour.

 Jar Candles are ideal for devotionals and novenas also good gift giving. The
warmth of a candle is a boon to any home.

 Anointing Oils - Oils embody the power of Water. By rubbing certain oils on your
candle you can further infuse your spells. Keep a small selection or make your own
as you have the need.

 Candle Holders - A set of Altar Candle holders for your white tapers, small spell
cancel holder/s. You may require quite a few different types and develop a
collection as there are many sizes with which you can experiment.

 Fireproof Dish/plate - Place this under your candle as it burns to prevent
accidental fires and make wax clean up easier.

 Candle Chimney - A cylindrical glass shield can be placed around your candle to
protect it from drafts and things accidentally getting near the flame. This is
especially useful when working out of doors as candles are exceptionally difficult
to keep lit in the open air.

 Flame - You should have at the ready; Matches, a lighter or punks with which to
light your candle. Fire born of friction is considered the most sacred. Try a
flint and steel?

 Candle Snuffer - Blowing out a flame is considered an insult to Fire and should
be avoided. Snuffing candles with your fingers or a snuffer insures that the flame
is respected. Also, it is safer.




Types of Candle Spells:

Simple Spell: Single time spell, usually using a small
              Spell Candle as the Intent Candle.
              Useful for a great many spells and
              workings. Use an unburned candle
              dedicated to your intent burn till it
              extinguishes itself.

Novena Spell: 3,5,7 or 9 nights of a spell repeated
              once each night for the duration, the
              repetition serves to anchor the spell in
              the mundane world and maximize its
              effect.
              A Novena can also be done in payment for
              especially good favor shown to you by a
              God or Ancestor or to keep a vigil.
              Always use an unburned candle and once
              dedicated do not use it again for any
              other purpose.

Devotional Candle: Light to honour or contact a God,
              Spirit or Ancestor. Used at any time
              necessary. Often times repeated once a
              week, month, or year. Such as the
              weekday that belongs to that God or
              Spirit or on the Birthday or anniversary
              of an Ancestor. One large candle is
              reserved for each person/spirit/ect and
              reused until consumed. Use only a fresh
              candle and once it is dedicated never
              use it for any other purpose.


 Making your own candles gives you the opportunity to manipulate the candles from
their very creation, crafting the colour, scent and vibrational qualities to your
goal. While a candle from the shoppes will serve perfectly well making your own is
just that much better. Traditionally, candles are made in February during Candlemass.
You may choose to make a store of Altar Candle for the year at this time.



 As a form of Spellcraft, Candle Magic is excellent for a number of reasons. There
are multiple mediums in which you can work spells and Fire is the most dynamic of the
Four Elements for spell craft and it works the fastest. Unlike the other three
Elements Fire is the only one that is not matter, it is the tangible effect of the
release of Energy as matter changes its form. Fire is Energy and transformation in a
literal sense. It is for this reason Candle Magic has persisted as a favored form of
Spellcraft.

 Essentially you charge the wax and wick of the candle with your intent and light it
ablaze, then the fire transforms it into Energy that your Will can direct.


 Outlined here are the basics of performing any Candle Magic spell.

 Think of your intent, what it is you want to change and affect. Try to reduce and
simplify this until you have a single word or phrase. Use this word to choose
sympathies such as colour, Element, Day ect...


Workspace should face the direction that is best for the goal.

Place these items your altar or workspace:

Intent Candle: This is your goal.
Incense Stick and holder: Choose an herb that goes with your intent.
Altar Candles: Two plain white taper candles will light your workspace.
Charging Oil: Optional, the oil chosen helps to carry and set the charge you place
 within the candle.
Lighter & Candle Snuffer
Additionally you may wish to place stones, herbs, talismans and pictures if they help
 you to clarify and focus on your goal.

 Before you actually begin your spell you should check your Aura and make sure you are
properly charged and have enough Energy to give to the Spell. If you are low you should
not cast the spell until you have recharged. You can draw Elemental Energy to charge up
for a working, this works either by drawing from your Power Element or by filling up on
the Element that rules your goal. An example would be to charge yourself with Earth
Energy before casting a spell to find work. You must be intuitive as well, draw from the
Sun for a Success spell. Draw from that which is available and has sympathies in line
with your goal. Never draw from your Life Energy or from a person without their consent.

 How do you know when you are drawing on your Life Energy? You can feel the difference
when you expend excess, gathered Energy and when you are spending your Life Energy. If you
have you will feel very weak and quite like crap. Rest is the cure in this case.


Dress Candle with Oil:
  Stand facing direction best for goal. Put some oil on hands and rub together till it
warms a bit. Place right hand on middle top and left middle bottom full palm contact. Feet
flat on the floor, candle held chest height, focus on intent.
 Direct this energy to hands till it pulses. Slide right hand up concentrating this energy
into the candle, release your hand at the top and replace it around the middle. Do same with
your left hand with downward strokes and replace at middle. Continue until candle is fully
charged. You may be able to just hold it in your hands and charge it up.

Incantation:
 Putting your Will behind your words speak your intent three times. (exp. "I will find a
Girlfriend" x3 ) and place in holder.

Light Candle:
 With lighter or an eternal flame light the candle and the spell will begin to cast itself.
Let candle burn down completely and do not leave unattended. Try not to spend time thinking
of the spell after the candle is lit, this can only confuse the focus.

Ground excess energy:
  Turn it into pink or Green and send it into Earth.

Disposal of Candle;
  Dispose in a manner decided by the Element that meets goal.

Record:
  Record all information in Magical Journal.

Magical Cleansing

House Cleansing -
 The health of the energy in any house or building inhabited by humans
must be maintained in order to ensure the well-being of the occupants and
visitors. A vibrationally harmonious home promotes a comfortable family
life free of internal strife prevents damaging arguments, self doubt and
allows for the proper outcome in our magical endevors. A home wherein
destructive energies are left to fester will undoubtedly be filled with
tears, fighting and broken dreams as well as a host of possible financial
problems.

 An effective method of cleansing the energy of a building such as a home
or office is to burn a sage smudge stick and permeate the structure.
Standing at the entrance light the sage and let it smoulder. In every
room going counter-clockwise (wiedershins) if you wish to dispell energy
and clockwise (deosil) if you wish to raise energy. Wave the smudge and
raise it in every corner speaking your intention which in this case is to
dispell any negative or harmful beings or energies. Do every closet, attic,
basement, garage, mirrors and cabinets. Be sure to invite positive energy
in to replace the negative that you have just driven out.

 Saunas and cleansing baths are enjoyable ways to cleanse both your body
and your Energy Field (Aura). In the case of those lucky enough to have
access to a real wood sauna or sweatlodge take every advantage of this.
The steam and the birch boughs that are used dispel toxins, stress, negative
Energies and attachments.

Magical Bath: Check and Cleanse Aura, Align Chakras
  Clean Tub.
  Fill with Water.
  Put in oil and Spoon of Sea Salt.
  Palms over Bath state 3 times goal.
  Put energy from above and below into water through
  hands.
  Get in bath imagine Silver Egg.
  Breath in drawing energy needed for success through
  head and base spine.
  Circles around Auric Egg clearing and strengthening
  it.
  Breath out negativity and debris.
  Center the energy from above and below in the heart
  Exit bath and dress.
 

Magical Protection

Protecting ones self from negative spirits, spells, Fae and any other threat is not
only smart, it is a very serious matter! If you are not properly protected you are
constantly exposed to numerous threats. The negative energy that some people put out
is enough to make you stressed out or even physically ill. There are those out there
who seek to suck the Energy from your very being, they are known as psychic vampyres.
Any number of dangerous situations can be circumvented by being protected at all times.

Do not be afraid or discouraged, protecting yourself is relatively simple and not
terribly difficult. The most basic measure is sacred salt. Sea salt is magically charged
with protection visualizing a protective white light. This salt can be placed in a
circle around any magical working or across any threshold such as a door or a window.
This sacred salt when dissolved in water is useful for washing objects and sprinkling
mirrors as they can become portals for many things. This salt water can also be poured
down drains and toilets as every exit in a building can also be an entrance. Don't
forget the hearth, attic and basement!

If you need an extreme form of protection at your front door you can take a glass
jar and fill it with broken pieces of mirror, iron nails, brick dust and sacred
salt. Close this jar and bury it at your threshold, it will trap all sorts of nasty
things. If you can not bury it, you can keep it in a room.

Brick dust sprinkled across any threshold to prevent infernal spirits from entering.

Iron protects against Fae, but many Fae are highly beneficial so take care when you
choose to use this! Silver can be used to protect against Elves but the above applies
here too. Holy water can protect against Deamons of a lesser order, you do not need a
preist's blessing, your own or that of a powerful magical individual is all that is
needed.

Most magical folk wear a protective amulet such as their pentacle, hammar or any other
symbol they wear on a consistent basis, this is simply imbued with protective energy
that may be repeated when you feel it getting low. You can also call upon ancestors,
Gods and guardian spirits in times of need, they are usually quite happy to come to
your aid.

There are three coloures primarily used in spells and workings for Protection. Red is
employed in active protection, defense. Black is used to ground any energy and thus
prevent the attacks from landing. White is cleansing and purifying, like sacred salt.

There are several trees, plant and herbs you can either plant or make talismans from
which provide protection. Rowan, Holly, Oak are among the very best and can be planted
in the earth where you reside.

Sympathetic Magic & Magical Sympathies

When speaking of sympathies in magic you are saying "Like things attract like
things". To attract that which you desire you perform a rite full of magical
sympathies. Everything in a rite can be used to this end, the colour candle you
choose, stones, symbols, even the actions you perform. They are used to create
a microcosm (little world) that will effect the macrocosm in which we all live.

Some ancient acts of sympathetic magic that are still used should be mentioned
here, they will also serve as an example of the main principal of Sympathetic Magic.

When the crops had been planted, the villagers would hold a celebration in
expectation of the plenty they were hoping for when the harvest came. They would
jump as high as they could to show the Gods and the plants themselves that they
wished them to grow to their greatest height. When a game animal was desired their
form was painted on the wall in plenty and the hunters were depicted along side
successful in the hunt. Hunts were also acted out with a "Hunter" reenacting the
killing of a game animal portrayed by a man dressed in the skins of the desired
animal. This magic proved powerful enough for our ancestors to obtain all they
needed to survive.

Gaining Magical Power

Magic is the art and act of using one's Will to affect, change and shape the world
around you. Your Will is used to direct your Personal Power. That power then acts
in concert with Energy of the Universe (Sympathies) and your goal is then achieved.
To effect magical change in the world you must have a strong, disciplined Will and
a store of Personal Power. Without those things no amount of information is enough
to cast a decent spell or working.

Power is not gained by knowledge alone but ultimately by performing hands on. What
good is studying if you never accomplish anything real? You can read and listen
for the rest of your life and never learn as much as you will by putting your Will
into practice.

Repetition is important do things over again, over time. Repeat exercises,
meditations and spells to increase their power and effectiveness. The repetition
builds Personal Power much the same way a body builder builds Physical Power,
through variety and repetition. The numbers 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 13 are often used as
they themselves contain power.

By continuously working with the Elements through spells and Elemental exercises
you will amass power as well as ease and fluidity when drawing Elemental Power.

Strengthening your Will and developing focus Self-discipline strengthens the Will.
Keeping ones word as ones bond is the most basic way you can build an iron Will.
Never make promises you do not know you can keep. Discipline comes in many forms,
if you are athletic then dance, yoga or karate and sports will lend you discipline
as well as strengthening your body. If you are more intellectual then setting goals
of reading or writing and surpassing them will serve to build both Will and a vast
store of knowledge from which you can draw and share.

There are some physical adjustments you can make in your life to gain power. Most
of these methods are used to gain a boost for a certain event or working and are
temporary. Practicing them over time will lend you a natural ease.

Periods of solitude strengthen the Will as well as allowing you to hear the still,
small voice of your Higher Self. Solitude reminds us who we are apart from the people
and things around us, knowing this helps you to focus on that which is your True Will
and not our pettier wants and desires. Solitude is essential in purifying the mind.

Fasting is a practice of either complete abstinence from food or a drastic reduction
in daily caloric intake (around 1,000 calories). Fasting is great for cleansing,
prophecy, spirituality and is a form of sacrifice. This practice builds Will and focus.

Sacrifice is the act of making something sacred and usually involves giving something
of worth in return for a gain. Folks have always given beautiful objects to the Gods
by breaking, burying, burning or casting them into rivers, lakes and the sea. Sacrifice
can be illustrated most simply by the act of sacrificing your time to the practice and
study of magic.

Feasting gathers power of another kind. Through the act of gathering with others and
enjoying good food and drink in abundance you gain joy, power and energy. In a room
where a feast is taking place the energy is extremely palpable. Just think of the way
it feels to attend a Birthday Celebration or a happy family Christmas. Make the best
food you have sacred and then take it into yourself as well as giving to your friends
and family.

Working with others, when you gather together with even one other individual and work
magic toward a shared goal the power and focus you raise is more than it would be had
the both of you worked alone. Imagine what a small, tightknit group accomplishes when
it bands together, as is done in The OCS.

Elemental Magic Correspondences

  In Spell correspondence charts you will find the Ruling Element for each spell.
If you choose to practice Elemental Magic you may wish to either work the spell
by its own Element or in your own Power Element. If you are at all proficient with
the Elements it is suggested you work withing the Element appropriate for the spell.

 Working in unfamiliar Elements brings greater power by bringing balance and
strengthening your weaknesses. The Element you choose will dictate the sort of spell
you choose to work with the information provided.

 By looking at one's Natal Astrological Chart you can determine you Sun Sign. Each
Sign has a corresponding Element of its own.
Aries - Fire, Taurus - Earth, Gemini - Air,
Cancer - Water, Leo - Fire, Virgo - Earth,
Libra - Air, Scorpio - Water, Sagittarius - Fire,
Capricorn - Earth, Aquarius - Air, Pisces - Water.

 Knowing both Your Sign's Element and your Power Element and the difference between
them is important. Your Sign's Element may be the same as your Power Element, if this
is so you will be very powerful in that Element but not very versatile with the other
Elements. Some may have a different Sign's Elements and Power Element, this means you
have more options for power-building and are more diverse.

Items of Power for each Element:

Elemental Earth:
 Herb Magic, Wands, staves & stones. Cast your spells by choosing an appropriate wood
or stone and carve a symbol of your magical intention. You can create an herbal sachet
or charge a stone with your intent. Bury the item when finished to tap into the stable,
fertile Earth. Collecting, growing and gathering plant material will raise your
connection to Earth and if it is your Power Element then it will foster and raise your
Personal Power.

Forest, Herb Garden, Bower, Flowers, Jewelry, Crystals, the Wood Shop.

  EARTH

 Earth's Element is Earth, naturally. Its colours are the green, brown and gold of the
field and forest. To the North its power lies, where winter sleeps. Crystallized and held
in Gold, Pyrite and Quartz. The Earth is Earth and Friday, 9am in the pines and
the cyperess. In her dwell the Dwarves as well as the roots and seeds of all new harvests.                



Elemental Fire:
 Candle Magic, Bonfires, Solar Magic. Burn the spell to activate it with passionate,
active fire. Candle Magic is ideal for magic born of Elemental Fire. If Fire is your Power
Element then you can, if you wish, cast most of your spells by candle. Concentrating on
the burning flame of the candle will effectively raise your Personal Power allowing you to
direct it to your intent. Bonfires can be made with appropriate woods and herbs added
especially when working together with others to increase the power of the spell.

 Fire is a red spark and flame from the summer in the South. A spark struck with flint or
through the Sun's rays. On Tuesday at noon the Salamander comes forth, dragons bleed and
all is illuminated with the action of Life. Fire is the Sun Steed and the Father of Water.




Elemental Water:
 Anointing Magical Baths, Sea Magic. By mixing essential oils with sacred salt you can
charge it with your intention and add it to a bath. Float or cast your spell out upon a
river, lake or Sea to carry your intention gently along the flow of water. You may wish
to cast your spell beside a body of water or in the rain or in your home with the windows
open during a rain storm. There is an abundance of Negative Ions present in these situations
that will empower you, even more so if Water is your Power Element.

 Water flows robed in the tide and crowned with the moon at sunset. On blue waves from the
West she from the land of Venus, arms filled with roses, violets and apple blossoms, fishes
in her hair. Her kisses bring love, in her absence there are tears.



Elemental Air:
 Singing, Chants, Bells, Chimes, Music, Poems, Feathers, smoke and incenses. Choose some
herbs, resins or an incense that supports your intent and chant, sing or rhyme your spell
wither free style or prepared in advance. Send your words out upon the Air, will that your
voice be carried upon the wind so that it may be done as you have said. We all have access
to words and formulating spells with chants and Words of Power allow us to cast at will, any
time and place. If Air is your Power Element you will increase your Personal Power with the
use of well selected Words of Intention. You can even cast a spell this way on an aeroplane.

of quicksilver, the quill by which the Spring at dawn is expressed, and every other thought
there is.

Elemental Magic

The Four Cardinal Elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water are the energetic
building blocks of the Magical Universe. They each embody specific qualities
that when properly understood can be used to excellent effect to mould and
change the world around you. We each draw our personal Energy from atleast
one of these Elements.

The Element of Earth is stable and slow to change and rules growth and cycles.
The suit of Pentacles is the Earth suit. Work, money, material goods and bodily
health all come under the Element of Earth. Earth's colours are green, brown and
gold.

Air is the Element of the mind and pure intellect. Thought and speech are
governed by Air. Air is a pervasive and highly changeable element. Mercurial
qualities of communication of ideas and principals. The suit of swords is ruled by
the Element of Air. Air's colours are yellow and orange.

Water is fluid and subtle, its currents are that of emotion and feeling.
Relationships, friendships and love are governed by the Element of Water as is
the suit of cups. Water's colours are the shades of blue.

Fire is the Element who's spark kindles all creativity and governs the growth of
all creative projects and endevors. Art and new ways of being are ruled by Fire
and its suit is that of Wands. Fire's colour is red.

Each individual has a "Power Element" that they can draw upon to recharge and
increase their personal power. There is an excersise that you can perform alone or
with others to find your Power Element. Having other magical persons present helps
because they can watch your Aura to see which element has the most effect upon and
within you. Ideally you could make a camping trip to a spot in the woods by a lake
or a river, even the sea. Make sure there is a safe place for a fire pit as well.
This will create an ideal environment for each of the four stages of this exercise
as well as an excellent opportunity to bond with other magical individuals if you go
in a small group.

Firstly find a place in a field or the woods where you will not be disturbed and
try drawing the Earth's energy up through your feet and hands then through all your
Chakras. How does this feel? Are you empowered? Do you find it easy to pull from
the Earth or do you feel resistance? If there is another with you have them observe
you to see what effect the Earth's energy has on you.

Next go to a lake, river or ocean and imerse yourself in the water, atleast your
hands and feet, if water is hard to find you can use a bath or a shower though
nature is best for this exercise. Draw in the water's energy through your hands and
feet and through your Chakras. Ask yourself all the questions you asked at the Earth
exercise and if you have anyone with you have them observe your level of energy.

For the Air exercise go to a clearing or a hill, if possible climb a bit up a
mountain if there is one in the area. Stand in the stream of the Air's flow under the
open sky and raise your hands. draw in the energy of the air flowing around you and
the sky above you. Again ask the pertinent questions and have the others check as you
check them in turn. You will want to take note of anything you feel or think in each
of these exercises to at the summation you can make your decision as to what element
you favor though it should be fairly obvious when you have encountered your true Power
Element. These exercises will also allow you to get to know the feel and the
differences inherent in each element giving you valuable, intimate knowledge of each.

You may now build a fire in the pit or if this is not possible, have a lighter you can
spark and hold cupped in your hands. Standing before the fire pit, reach your hands
toward the flames and draw the fire's energy into your body and through your Chakras.
Take extreme care not to burn yourself or light any loose clothing ablaze. If fire is
not your element you may burn more easily than one who is favored by Fire. Ask the
questions and observe as before. When you have finished these four exercises you can
sit back by the fire and discuss what you have learned about yourselves and the
Elements themselves. You should now be very aware which Element best serves you and
this will be the one you draw from in the future when you are feeling drained or if you
need more power before practicing magic.

Seeing, Hearing & Intuition

These are all traits innate in each of us, labeled "paranormal" by the mainstream
scientists of our day, they are however very much a normal part of the human
experience. Most human children can "See" and "Hear" what most adults have been
conditioned out of. Intuition is one of the few things that are still accepted
by most of us, though few know exactly what it is and from where it comes. We
just learn to trust it because it leads us so well. If you have been conditioned
out of hearing, seeing and listening to your intuition you must work to get these
invaluable skills back. They are your's by birthright and will serve you in ways
you can never anticipate throughout your lifetimes.

Magical sight is not quite like visual sight, the sight your eyes give. It is a
bit like a visual memory, like the after image of an occurance. Many times the
images you see with your magical sight will be more vivid and stick with you
through your entire life, other times it is faint and hard to grasp and hold on to.
This faintness and difficulty is often the case with those who are first learning
to see. It is worth noting that when one is first seeing one may have blurry visual
sight for a day or so after, that will resolve itself naturally and should be taken
as a sign that you are progressing, it will not be a regular occurance. One's
magical sight does not come from the eyes, you can see some things with your eyes
closed or over great distances and time. Magical sight is a function of the brow
chakra, the third eye and this is why it is important to keep this chakra open.
Many of us close this in our childhood. Upon reopening you will experience a
profound awakening.

Magical hearing is akin to magical sight in that it does not usually come to us
through the ears and can sound like the memory of a voice or sound rather than
like hearing in real time in real life. It can often be a bit tricky telling the
difference though. If you have ever heard the voice of a ghost or a spirit, that
is magical hearing. The fact that it does not come to us through the ears accounts
for the fact that often one person will hear something where another in the same
place will hear nothing. Magical hearing is different from intuition.

Almost every one has experienced intuition, that soft and often insistent voice in
the back of your head that tells you things that you could not possibly know yourself.
That intuitive voice is the voice of your higher self and comes to us through our
Crown Chakra. Cleansing and opening this chakra paves the way for intuitive
instructions and you need not be told how valuable this is in magical and mundane
life. If you are doubtful if the voice you hear is magical hearing, your own mental
voice or intuition, intuition is the first voice you hear before you even have time
to process or formulate a thought. Magical hearing is usually in a different voice
than your own thoughts, we usually think in our own voice.

Introduction To Astrology

Who we are now starts with our position in the Universe when we were born.
The Energies of the stars and the planets are our first sources of power and
as such carry with them significant knowledge and insight into our strengths
and weaknesses, our goals and our limitation. By looking at one's Natal
Astrological Chart you can learn much but even cursory understanding of your
Zodiac Sign (Sun Sign) will empower you in your life and magical workings.

Though listed as a pseudoscience many people, even those who are not into any
sort of "Alternative Religion" know their sign and read their weekly
horoscopes. Astrology is fascinating and has been a focus of a great many
civilizations.The idea that many of our personality traits and even our
destinies are written in the stars has a strong pull on the human psyche and
using this knowledge can bring many benefits.

You may have had your Natal (birth) chart done by an Astrologer or from a
program on the internet. These can be very in-depth and insightful giving
points where we excel and opportunities to improve our lives simply by
understanding our exact position in the Zodiac.

The Greek Zodiac is the most popular in the Western world. It consists of twelve
signs named for the constellations of stars in the sky at the time for which they
stand.

There are four Cardinal signs - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer.
Four Fixed signs - Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio.
And Four Mutable signs - Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.

Three Fire signs - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.
Three Earth signs - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.
Three Air signs - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.
And Three Water signs - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

The Chinese Zodiac is favored in the East as in Asia predominantly. There are
twelve signs that are designated by year of birth.

Year of the Rat, Year of the Ox, Year of the Tiger, Year of the Rabbit, Year of
the Dragon, Year of the Snake, Year of the Horse, Year of the Goat, Year of the
Monkey, Year of the Rooster, Year of the Dog and the Year of the Pig. To find your
sign try a site that has a list of birth years that correspond to each sign.

My Autumnal Equinox

For years it has been a tradition, on the eve of the autumnal equinox
I set up for a blot to the Vana Gods for frith, grith and abundant harvest.
I call the Gods and raise a horn and offer it to them. I besprinkle myself
and the harrow with the Holy liquid and pour out the horn to The Vanagods.
Every time there is a treat for me, I see many things like animals and
once a baby squirrel came out and climbed upon my foot and rested his paws
upon my leg. These animals are sent out by the Gods to greet me.

The weekend that corresponds with the autumnal equinox I like to go to the
Renascence Faire and celebrate the turning season and its bounty with
carousing, singing, dancing and seasonal activities with friends.

I go apple and berry picking to make pies and preserves and start the mead
and beer from the seasons harvest. Sipping hot spiced cyder and taking
long walks while listening to the sounds of the first leaves underfoot and
the squirrels frolicking in the trees in the odd, golden, slanted light of
the setting autumn sun. Thus I cross the threshold into my favorite season.

Medieval Magical Creatures

Manticore, (Martyaxwar) Sphinx.
The Persians tell of this beast as having a human head with three rows of
sharpest teeth, the body of a great lion and a tail with spikes and barbs
such as those of a dragon or scorpion. This creature is a man eater and
common nightmare fuel. This creature may exist in Thought Form as it has
never been proven a true creature of The Earth though it was once believed
to be.

Chimera
The fearsome monster child of Typhon is a three headed fire breathing horror.
Being a creature of many parts the Chimera has a lionlike body terminating on
one end in a snakelike tail and at the head being goatlike or sometimes as
having the body of a Leonid and the heads of a snake, a goat, and a lion.
The Chimera is also a fully formed Hermaphrodite capable of reproducing
itself.

The term "Chimera" is currently used in the modern medical community to classify
a person who's body contains two separate sets of genes.

Centaur
The body of a horse and the torso of a man combine to produce a magnificent
being. Both wise teacher and great warrior, the pinnacle of both man and beast.
Centaurs are liminal beings of two natures who dwell in caves and oak groves.
Some Centaurs are well known to us from ancient accounts and were very famous
in their time as well. Though the Centaurs in literature are all male there are
also beautiful, strong Centurides with whom they mate and raise their kin.

Basilisk (Also, Cockatrice)
The Basilisk is the King of Serpents, a crested reptilian beast so venomous
it oozes poison wherever it goes. So deadly that even its gaze will paralyze
and kill. In fact, the best way to kill a Basilisk is with the reflection of its
own gaze. Said to be born of a rooster and a serpents egg it was once thought
that the ashes of the Basilisk would turn silver into gold. These are most
likely accounts of Cobras mixed with fear and fancy.

Griphyon, Griffin
This King of Creatures is a hybrid of the lion and the eagle having the body,
back legs and tail of the lion and the wings, head and front talons of an eagle.
The Griffin stands as a symbol of Divine Power and as The Guardian of the Divine.
This magical animal's spirit can be invoked to guard great treasures and knowledge
from the ignorant, greedy and unskilled.

Roc, Simurgh
The gigantic Persian bird creature known as the Roc is said to be like an eagle
but that it is large enough to be mistaken for a mountain when seen hovering out
to sea and that he could carry away an elephant for prey. Stories are told of
mother Rocs destroying entire ships in order to retrieve their stolen eggs. The
Roc was seen carrying away children so often that a sardonic rumor was started
that the birds were bringing new born babies to their parents. It is mentioned in
The Bible as bringing aid to King Solomon and was envisioned by authors as having
been aboard the Ark with Noah.

Unicorn
In the old times there was no more beloved and revered magical animal than the
Unicorn. The otherworldy horned horse that could sometimes be glimpsed in some
particularly enchanted grove or island. In appearance they are likened to the
very best of horses and goats and even then more beautiful with a little
goatlike beard. From their forehead issued a magnificent, slender, spiraling horn.
Its horn itself was thought to be intensely magical and this is why there are
countless reference to them in magical texts. It is a fact though that all of
the treasured "Unicorn Horns" in existence, such as the one in the Hapsberg
Collection of the Royal Court of Rudolf IV are the tusks of the Narwhal. This
is because Unicorns belong to the Otherworld and they are not truly material,
though they may materialize for a time. If a magician dared to remove a Unicorn's
horn he no doubt did it astrally. The Unicorn is most likely a type of Fae from
the Otherworld and as such they are sometimes seen in our World as well.

The Unicorn has become a symbol for magic as well as a later association with
purity. It is said that only a pure and virginal person or perhaps a child could
approach a Unicorn and on occasion pet, feed or ride one. The Unicorn is used
extensively in Heraldry and indeed there is a Unicorn on the Royal Coat of Arms of
The United Kingdom.

Pegasus
Pegusus is known to have been sired by the Sea God Poseidon. He is a magnificent
Horse God of the purest white with wings like that of a swan. He became a God of
Poetry and Fame. He allowed Belerophone to ride him into his fatal battle.

Phoenix, Firebird, Garuda, Benu
The Phoenix is a great birdlike Solar Fire Spirit with beautiful reddish-purple
plumage and a golden tail. It takes only frankincense and myrrh for sustenance.
It is said that the song of the Phoenix is beautifully enchanting. Its life cycle
of birth, death and rebirth is said to be thus; The Phoenix lives for 1,000 years
and near the end of that time he builds for himself a nest of cinnamon and kindling
in a mighty oak. As the Phoenix dies it immolates spontaneously ignighting nest
and all. The heat and flames of his father's pyre hatch the Phoenix egg and The new
Phoenix arises from the smoldering ashes of the old Phoenix. The hatchling Phoenix
uses the ashes to create another egg that will only hatch when he himself burns.

Wyvern
A Wyvern, as the name suggests is a dragon like creature. Though like any
dragon in appearance, winged and firebreathing the Wyvern has only two legs.
They have long serpentine tails that terminate in a large barb. While the Wyvern
on land have wings those at sea do not. The Wyvern is a particularly popular
Dragon among the people of Wales and the National Symbol, The Welsh Red Dragon
was originally a Wyvern as can still be seen if one looks.

Leviathan
The greatest sea beast featured in the Bible is called the Leviathan.
His eyes as coalbrands and his breath of smoke and fire, scaled with impenetrable
armor so stony hard that no weapon can avail and so well meshed that nothing may
pass between the scales themselves. The size of this emence beast is such that he
encircles the entire World and holds it fast in his mighty grip. His claim is that
he owns the World itself and none can challenge it.

The Leviathan and Jormungand are probably one in the same. Jormungand is The World
Serpent of Norse lore. Jormungand is said to have been thrown into the sea and grew
so large as to encircle the World. His thrashing was is violent as to cause the the
great waves of the ocean. At Ragnarok it is Thor alone among the Gods who is strong
enough to slay The World Serpent and is killed by its poison.

Behemoth
Described along with the Leviathan in The Bible as a Chaos Monster that existed
even before the time of the creation. The Behemoth is a massive land beast who;s
sizes is such that he can draw the river Jordan into his mouth without trouble.
His shadow is said to be in the shadow of everything on Earth. He eats grass like
cattle. So strong is he that his massive body is likened to copper and to load
iron. It is said that only God could kill the beast as it was he who made him.
At the end of the World it is said that The Behemoth and The Leviathan will grapple
with one another in mortal combat untill they each die in the fray. The righteous
will be fed for eternity on the meat of The Behemoth.

Divination Methods - Scrying

Perhaps the oldest way of invoking visions is by scrying for them,
it is by far older than Cartomancy and Tarot for divination. Several
methods can be employed to scry for images, the most iconic of which
is gazing into the crystal ball. Simply place a solid sphere of per-
fectly transparent quartz crystal upon a small pedestal on the table
before you, make the room completely dark save for a single candle
set just out of sight of the person divining. Then sit and quiet your
mind, peer into the depths of the ball and fall into a trance. Images
will swirl in the crystal coming in through your third eye. It takes
concentration and little else to see these visions but much wisdom is
employed in deciphering them.

Other methods of scrying are much the same though they use different
tools. The scrying bowl is a medium black or dark coloured bowl filled
with water and a candle is placed just out of sight. The water becomes
a still mirror into which the seer gazes as he awaits the images from
the Aether. Leonardo DiVinci is said to have favored this method to
give him the insight he used to create many of his great works. In the
past a dish of quicksilver (Mercury) was used as a perfect liquid mirror
though it is now known that this metal is extremely poisonous and gives
off deadly vapors.

A scrying mirror can easily be obtained now a days and again it is used
in a darkened room with a single candle. As a clairvoyant I have received
visions whilst looking into a cup of black coffee, which has to be the
simplest scrying mirror one can empoly.

The absolute oldest form of scrying has to be Smoke and/or Fire scrying.
At night around the flickering, living flames how many have sat staring
untill entranced. Today we sometimes gaze overlong into the candles flames
and see wonders. Freeflowing plumes of swirling smoke see in an errant
shaft of sunlight take the form of a million things. I have seen more than
entertaining shapes in the fire and the smoke, highly detailed animal
spirits that move naturally, the Gods and whole scenes of things.

THE DIRECTIONS OF THE COMPASS

We use the Compass to define direction. The four Cardinal Points on a compass,
North, South, East and West as you may know correspond to each of the Four
Elements. North = Earth, East = Air, South = Fire, West = Water. These are known
as The Four Corners.
There are also intermediary points between these. NorthEast = Air of Earth,
SouthEast = Fire of Air, SouthWest = Fire of Water, NorthWest = Water of Earth.
When you advance in Spellcraft you may use these finer points to further intune
to the intention. Depending upon what you intend to achieve you may wish to face
its direction.
