Magic Protection Defence Against The Dark Arts: Hexenspiegel Defense Against The Dark Arts: Hexenspiegel Hexenspiegel have been used as a major defence against the dark arts for as long as people have been around. There is something about the flowing, reflective, smooth properties of metal that makes for a natural defence against incoming bad energy, which is by nature, disturbed, impure and chaotic. In the olden days, people used to use mirrors made from highly polished pieces of silver or gold, sometimes also copper for reflecting the intention back on the sender of the black magic or evil eye - that's both a defence as well as an attack all rolled into one. The more the bad witch or bad person tries harder to send more and more negativity, the more it is reflected right back at them - and that's already happening with a fairly plain piece of reflective material. A true Hexenspiegel (witch mirror) reflects things back at least thrice - ouch! How To Use Mirrors & Hexenspiegel For Protection Against The Dark Arts, Bad Witches, Black Magick and Curses

Dream Analysis and Interpretation - Understanding Dreams Tarot Weblog - Adam McLean 9 March 2015 I had a look at the origins for the St Patrick's Well tarot of Ertan Aktas. This well was built built at Orvieto in Italy in 1527. It was called the Pozzo di San Patrizio and was designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger to supply water to the city in the event of siege. The well takes its name from St Patrick because of its alleged similarity with the cave the Irish saint is believed to have used as a retreat for penitence and prayer. The ingenious design of the well uses two spiralling staircases forming a double helix going down to the water, built in such a way that those descending with their mules or donkeys would never meet those ascending in the opposite direction. The appearance of the well is evocative of the entry to Hell and it is this that Ertan Aktas has taken up as an inspiration for his tarot designs. 9 March 2015 Today I received the St Patrick's Well tarot created by Turkish artist Ertan Aktas. www.alchemywebsite.com/Tarot/art_tarot29.html

The Free Reading Network 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. 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. Most importantly, listen to your inner voice. This ritual should be yours and yours alone.
