Morrigan by Honor Johnson This article is about the Goddess Morrigan, whom archaeological evidence now tells us, dates back beyond the Copper age, and was the dominant Goddess of Europe called the Great Goddess. When I read the material about Morrigan, I suspected that there was more to her story, and that she was a transporter between life and death; a birth Goddess and a death Goddess in that she moved the soul through these cycles. Later writing seems to concentrate on her connection to death, but comes to view her, as warrior societies often do, in a way connected to their own needs (power, energy, enchantment and warfare). Stone stelae with sculpted breasts have been discovered at Castelucio de Sauri, some with only breasts and a necklace as a marker. In Newgrange, Ireland, is her grand megalithic tomb-shrine. Some writers claim that she did not have a consort, others that her consort was the horned god. -from Bruiden Da Choca. -Annals of Leinster Ireland sober is Ireland stiff.

A Tibetan Book of Spells | early Tibet Can monks do magic? Should they? We often picture monks (or at least the ideal of the monk) firmly in the setting of the monastery, either seeking enlightenment through study and meditation, or carrying out in the affairs of the monastery. But magic? Let’s not make the mistake of thinking that this only applies to Tibetan Buddhism, through some insidious influence of shamanism (whatever that is). And let’s not think that this only applies to tantric Buddhism. And there’s nothing mysterious, dubious or underhand about it. Spells are written to be used, of course, so it’s interesting to look at an actual book of spells that was owned by a Buddhist monk – one of our 9th or 10th century Dunhuang manuscripts, IOL Tib J 401. The book has a handmade quality; it seems to have been stitched together from recycled paper (long pothi pages, folded in the middle). This list gives us an idea of the many needs of ordinary people that could be addressed by the monk magician. A barley frog. Like this:
How to become a Wiccan or Witch How to Become a Wiccan or Witch Being a Wiccan or Witch is generally not something you are born as or just wake up one morning and decide to become. More often than not, you come across it by accident unless you were raised that way. Many find the philosophies of how Wicca and Witchcraft view nature are the same as the one's they currently hold. They just didn't know there was a specific belief system that shared the same views. As Silver RavenWolf accurately stated in her book To Ride A Silver Broomstick. If you are one who has seen striking similarities between what you believe and have found here, there are generally accepted ways to increase your awareness and find communion with others who feel the same. Read everything you can get your hands on that will tell you more about the beliefs of Wicca and Witchcraft. While doing this, you will begin to form associations and hopefully find correspondances within yourself. There are no right or wrong answers and it is not a test. Herne
Is There A Hidden Hallucinogenic Pharmacology Behind ‘Witches Brew’ and Broomsticks? While watching one of my favorite Halloween movies last night, Hocus Pocus, I suddenly began wondering why witches are always portrayed riding broomsticks. My research led me to the strangest and most unexpected theory: That broomsticks are related to bread, specifically rye bread, and the hallucinogenic fungus that grows on it called Ergot. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, much of bread made in Europe was made with rye. The fungus ergot that grows on rye bread can be lethal in high doses, and yet in lower doses it can produce vivid hallucinations and was thought to be responsible for the ‘dancing mania‘ reported through Europe from the 14th to 17th centuries, where people danced in the streets speaking gibberish and foaming at the mouth until they eventually passed out. So what does this have to do with broomsticks? And what were the most effective mucous membranes for absorbing these psychedelic ointments? So, these crafty day trippers (or maybe night trippers?)

Cleansing Yourself Although cleansing is often considered as a physical action, it' is also important to cleanse yourself on a spiritual level, shaking off any psychic debris. An important part of the cleansing is bathing and anointing your body, but as a ritual calls for a calm peaceful mind then a meditation may also be necessary. 2. When performing a open air ritual, cleansing of the space is not usually necessary, but inside a apartment or home it is needed.

The Morrigan, Celtic Goddess of War - WHEN THE GODDESS CALLED MY NAME This Chapter is dedicated to my very dear friend, Morgan. She has been known by many names throughout Ireland, Britain and Wales, such as Morrigu, Morgain, Morgan and The Morrigan. She has also been given many titles, including the Lady of the Lake and the Goddess of Water and Magick. They have called her the Phantom Queen, the Goddess of War, Fate and Death and the Goddess of Battle, Strife, and Fertility, as well as a Moon Goddess, the Queen of the Fairies, the Goddess of Rivers, Lakes and Fresh Water, and the Patroness of Priestesses and Witches. The Morrigan has been associated with many things, including revenge, the night, magick and prophecy, and she has also, on occasion, been associated with female energy, and with the immense strength with which it can come bursting forth. The Morrigan was a shape-shifter, who would usually take on the form of a raven or a crow. In true Celtic tradition, The Morrigan has appeared in a variety of Triple Goddess trinities.
