Archangel Gabriel – Messenger of Creativity and Hope “He speaks to you through your heart and soul. Gabriel, which means “God is my strength”, guides hopeful parents in fertility and child conception, giving them courage and strength. He is the angel of communication and the arts, inspiring and motivating you in your creative pursuit. His presence offers enthusiasm and encouragement in the creative fields. He guides artists, authors, musicians, and dancers to reach their full potential and live their purpose. If you work with children, personally or professionally, you will find Gabriel by your side with loving guidance and support. Mantra: I follow the guidance of my heart.
Fímati: I cannot speak to Gabriel or any other figures of that religion, but the message here remains. You will find support in following your creative ventures and passions. Whether that be an angel or people who are more… Earthbound. Follow you inspirations and let them guide your hand, whether figuratively or literally.
Don’t demonize Hel or any of Loki’s children. Hel is appointed her duty by the Allfather, she is given charge over not only the wicked but the old and the sick, for she is kind and welcomes those at the end of their life. Helheim is not a place of punishment, but that of rest and Hel welcomes us in.
Don’t demonize Fenrir. Without him or his sons, there would be no Ragnarok, but the end is as important as the beginning for without death, there can be no rebirth. Just as the Earth is reborn in the spring so are the Aesir after the end. Fenrir brings death so there can be new life.
The Aesir are not the only ones deserving of our respect.
Haha! Well thank you for the follow back, mutual! And it’s alright. I’ve had mutuals who didn’t follow me back for years until one day it just kind of occurred to them to do so. XD
Owl ~ Follow Your Intuition “You hold within you some qualities of the owl. You may have fine-tuned your intuitive abilities – that sense of inner knowing. Or you may have become strong-willed, perceptive and wise. Learn from the silence of the owl’s spirit, which offers lessons of stealth and poise in our everyday lives. If you are about to take on a new business venture or let go of some parts of your life that are no longer relevant, it is important that you become more observant. You cannot fool the owl, as he is aware of his surroundings at all times. With this message you can follow your goals to prosperity and heed these qualities to live the life of your dreams. Mantra: I am wise and intuitive; I follow my inner wisdom to prosperity.
Fímati: A little trust in yourself goes a long way. Don’t discount that little voice just because it comes from within you. Give it a chance and it may lead you to things you might have missed, or away from things that could cause you harm.
Loki: Don’t ever trust people that say they are good; no one is ever completely innocent, everyone has grey and dark places. keep company with people that admit they are neutral, they are being honest about themselves, and you know what to expect.
Oracle Readings (Do Not Reblog)
I’m offering free one card oracle readings with my new Mystical Wisdom deck (an early Yule gift from my wonderful best friend) for awhile tonight.
The Snake (known here from now on as Fímati) is around and willing to offer advice along with the cards.
Anon is on and I will post when I decide to stop offering readings. ^_^
Sometimes I think people should just do themselves a favour and throw down a tarot card for each of the people in their lives so they don’t have to learn the hard way that some people aren’t who they say they are…
This would be best done in your backyard, or if you can, a little foresty area where you can cast circle and meditate a little.
Some ideas for celebrating the sacred masculine
CERNUNNOS IS NOT THE SAME AS THE WICCAN HORNED GOD.
^ a little louder for the neowiccans in the back
CERNUNNOS IS A DEITY WORSHIPPED IN THE GAULISH POLYTHEISTIC TRADITION. HIS TRADITIONS ARE COMPLEX AND TAKE STUDY TO UNDERSTAND. HE HAS INFLUENCED THE HORNED GOD, BUT THEY ARE SEPARATE ENTITIES. HONESTLY, NO DISRESPECT BUT BASTARDISING A GAULISH DEITY HURTS EVERYONE, HISTORIANS, GAULISH POLYTHEISTS, ETC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is not to “the God”. Loud enough, @phoenyxwitch?
Sure, everybody says you should start out with quartz, rose quartz, amethyst, citrine but what about for witchcraft and magic specifically. What stone carries the witchy soul? I will be listing some stones perfect for use in magick to aid and strengthen you.
You probably guessed the first one ;D
1. Labradorite
The Inuit people believe that Labradorite fell from the Aurora Borealis. Another legend claims that a warrior struck the stone with his spear creating the Northern Lights as a result.
This is a stone of magick, it is a stone for shamans, diviners, healers and people seeking knowledge or looking for guidance. Perfect for honing in your strength and power as a witch. Labradorite helps awaken physic abilities, strengthen intuition and create awareness. If you wear labradorite, it will help your innate magickal abilities rise to the surface.
This stone is the most protective stone you can get. It shields the aura and strengthens the energy within. It guards against negativity. Due to this, it is a difficult stone to use in black or negative magicks. Some say it is impossible. Because of it’s protective and shielding quality it is perfect to use when exploring alternate levels of consciousness and doing visionary explorations. This stone will keep you safe from all harm.
Labradorite is good for seeing past illusion and into the truth.
2. Dendritic Agate AKA Merlinite
Do not mistake with Mystic Merlinite. This is not the same.
This is another stone of pure magic! It is a stone of duality, of light and dark, black and white. It is the stone of good luck and the dark night of the soul.
It is said to be able to help the user recall memories of alchemists and even the great Merlin of Arthurian times (thus its name).
This stone attracts good luck and magick into the life of one who carries it. This stone is good for shadow work, allowing you to travel and see the deep dark parts of yourself. Merlinite, is a very shamanistic stone, aiding you to commune with the natural world and elementals and work with its energies.
It stimulates deep intuition and a psychic knowing. It helps to bring you in contact with teachers in other realms.
A stone of harmony it helps aid the birth of creativity. This stone is not only for the light aspects as it will allow you to see the reality of your own inner darkness.
Use this to bring balance to light and dark, masculine and feminine. Use it to balance any kind of duality.
3. Moqui Marbles AKA Boji Stones AKA Shaman Stone
“Moqui” is the Hopi word for the dead. They say that the dead come around sunset to play with these stones.
This stone is believed to carry two genders, like animals and people. The flatter more oval ones are said to be male while the rounder ones are female. They are often used as pairs. They bring balance to the masculine and feminine energies inside all of us.
Use for inner transformational work. Use them for protection during journeying and out of body travel. These stones prevent negative entities from attaching to you.
These stones are perfect for overcoming fears of any kind, especially death.
They elevate your intuition and help you come in contact and communicate with spirit guides and totems.
Moqui Marbles also help you to become aware of parts of yourself that may be hidden including tendencies or habits that come from past lives.
4. Nuummite
Nuummite is know as the sorcerer’s stone as it is a stone of sorcery and magick. It draws and combines the fiery energies of the earth with the energies of a raging storm.
Nuummite is the oldest stone on earth; it is approximately over 3 billion years old and has volcanic origins.
This stone is good for personal magick, increasing synchronicities and luck, clairvoyance and intuition. Nuummite allows for deep journeying into your psyche allowing you to see your true, authentic self- the good and the bad, the whole of you. This stone will bring you gifts of inner power and self mastery.
A great stone for grounding and highly protective, it shields the auric field and fiercely fends off against negativity, manipulation, and environmental pollutants.
Nuummite heavily draws from wild earth energies.
Be careful. This stone has intense energy and may be too much for some to work with. Nuummite is a strong magick stone and should be taken seriously and treated respectfully. Use with good intent as harmful intent rebounds on the user.
5. Hag Stones
These stones you can find around lakes, rivers, and creeks. They are natural stones with a naturally-forming hole (or holes) straight through.
Hag stones are believed to ward against evil, negativity, curses, illness and nightmares.
The holes inside the stones are used to look through and are said to help you see other worlds, spirits, and even fairies.
Hag stones can be used to enhance the magick abilities of anyone who uses it or keeps one on them. If you cannot afford any stone at this time, look for hag stones outside. They are powerful and have been held as sacred to many ancient Pagan religions for thousands of years.
