Here is a simple procedure for blessing a new home and ridding a house of any unwanted spiritual influences.



1) Wash down the wood work and floors with Chinese Wash (or

Van Van Oil in water) from back to front and out the front

door and throw the remaining wash water out the front door

or in the front yard. If there is no front yard, carry some

of the wash water to the nearest street intersection or

crossroads and throw it to the East.



2) Then use a brand new broom to sweep the house from back

to front and out the front door. Some folks also like to

sprinkle Van Van Powder at the front threshold and sweep

that away from the house.



3) After cleaning as above, put down pinches of salt in the

corners of each room or, if you are in a hurry, four pinches

of salt at the four outside corners of the house.

Materials Required:



Tall purple colored candles – 2

Tall green colored candles – 2

A precious stone – should be green like amethyst or jade

Sandalwood incense

Lavender incense

Willow bark incense

A white candle (spirit candle)

Casting stones – 3

Witch’s bowl



Method:



Mostly spirits are conjured during the hours of midnight. Hence it is advisable to perform this spell in hours close to or after midnight. Choose an appropriate spot to perform the spell and cast three circles one after the other beginning with a small center circle. Cast the other two circles around this. Once you have done that, set up an altar in the innermost circle and place the witch’s bowl in the center of the altar. The bowl must be filled with clear spring water. In the middle circle light the purple candles and place it facing opposite to each other. Next light the green candles and place them in the same line as the purple candles, this time on the outermost circle .Then light the incense and chant the following spell:



Here I have cast three of my circles

Inner, middle and outer

I am protected by the power of my will

It is with this power that I summon you Oh Holy Spirit

I order thou to come and reveal thy name.



Repeat this spell thrice. At the end of it keep your eyes closed and focus all your energy on the flame of the candles. Soon the spirit will appear floating above the witch’s bowl.

Black magick (magic):The principle
10:03 Mar 25 2010
Times Read: 762

The principle of black magic: to expect miracles, happiness, success, redemption from failures, etc., from external and superior entities that feed from the humiliation of those who voluntarily make sacrifices to them and who reduce unbelievers to subjection, from spirits that rejoice from one's destruction of oneself and other people, from gods that demand one's contempt for oneself and other people, from supernatural beings with unlimited powers and arbitrary desires that are not bound by any law knowable by reason but are meant to be influenced by a show of feelings from their humiliated followers. In short, this black magic consists in the irresponsible tying of one's hope of future satisfactions to the whim of external and superior intervening powers.





Now, divinities that could be corrupted by such sacrifices do not deserve being sacrificed anything whatsoever. They are abject beings against which any self-respecting human being can but revolt. Those that grovel at the feet of such divinities are slaves, swine, creatures lacking the dignity of their own free will, and who are prompt to forsake it indeed.



But such is not the only way magic can be conceived. There is another magic, white magic. Its principle is: work and strive to earn as a reward each and every blessing that one enjoys. In as much as this attitude can be explained in terms of divinities, these divinities are bound by knowable laws, and it is through from respect of these laws rather than from their whims that one seeks to obtain blessings, through hard work. In a certain way, these divinities are not supernatural beings existing above nature and free from its laws — they are the laws of nature themselves and nature itself. They do not demand adoration and submission but understanding and acceptance. They are satisfied not by the abjection of worshippers but by the raise in dignity and talent of their observers. They reward not the scared humiliation of submissive humans, but the respectful mastership of proud humans. They do not promise to believers the future grant of surreal relishes but invite the wise to reevaluate their present desires considering the constraints of reality.



These divinities are untouchable but well-meaning; they have no superiority complex, and do not demand a extensive display of groveling submission through an uninterrupted sequence of sacrifices. They offer us a non-hierarchical relationship between equals, or rather, between unequals, where matters not the appearance of periodical external shows, but the depth of a permanent internal discipline over oneself, a discipline that aims not toward debasing oneself to submit to the gods, but toward enhancing oneself to master them.



Prayer in black magic is passivity and destruction, in an attitude of humiliation and worship. Prayer in white magic is work and creation, in an attitude of determination and respect. The disciple of black magic does evil with the hope that some good will emerge out of it through a miraculous violation of the laws of nature. The disciple of white magic does good by consenting to an effort appraised as the least evil according to the laws of nature. Priests of black magic invoke authority as the source of knowledge, and claim that the ways of their gods are unfathomable to anyone but them. Priests of white magic propose conjectures that are subject to the open review of everyone's reason and experience, and gaining insight into their divinities is the very essence of their religious practice. Priests of black magic extend their cult by subjecting the infidels to their creed, by humiliating and degrading other people. Priests of white magic extend their religion by subjecting their beliefs to the criticism of other people, by freeing and bettering themselves. Believers of black magic are the slaves of their gods. Believers of white magic are the masters of their gods.



Black magick and white magic coexist in traditional and instituted religions. They are two opposite poles of behaviour between which are each of our acts. Black magic always wins in appearance[3]; you will always see it dominate the established institutions, glorified by formal rites and astonishing shows. But it is white magic that actually makes the world go round, even if it requires discernment to see that; it is white magic that continuously adapts to the world, from which stems all creation, that serves as the basis for civilization itself.



There is an opposition between Good and Evil, but it is not the cosmic struggle proposed by the priests of the cult of the dead; it is not a conflict between superior gods, where Good would be to submit to the god of one priest rather than to other gods. On the contrary, it is the opposition between on the one hand a culture of destruction, of humiliation and of spectacle, and on the other hand, a culture of creation, pride and work.

To bring out the love of some one....Spell

Times Read: 771






It does not interfere with another's free will. All it does is give them the courage to state what is on their mind. It is done when you feel very strongly that the person is in love with you but that they hesitate to say so. If it turns out that they are not in love with you after all, then it simply won't work, so that's why it doesn't exert undue pressure.



This should be done at the same hour on seven consecutive Fridays, ending on the one closest to the Full Moon (before the moon reaches full, not just after).



Take a pink candle and mark six rings around it, at equal distances apart. This will give you seven sections of a candle.



Light the candle and call out the name of the one you think loves you. Then say:



Gana, be with me in all that I do.

Gana, please bring me a love who is true.

Give him (her) the strength to put into words

His (her) fee, lings, and sing like the song of the birds.



Think about the person for a few moments - think of them coming to you and declaring their love then repeat the chant. Keep doing this until the candle has burned dawn to the first line. Then extinguish the candle (by pinching it out, never by blowing) and put it away till next week. On the final week, keep it up until the candle burns itself out.

Ritual History

Times Read: 783

Witches and wizards knew it was the time because their secret mark (made by the devil) itched them. Then, they had to prepare for the Sabbath.



Some went there simply by walk, but it was generally admitted that witches flied either on animals companions or demons or on their own broomstick after having rubbed their body with the Flying Ointment.



Once the witches have reached the place of the Sabbaths, sometime along with new initiates, the Devil appeared, usually in the form of a black goat (He-goat) but it can also take the shape of a black cat, a raven, a crow, or a feathered toad.



The attendants kissed his buttocks in greeting. Then they informed him of all the harmful spells they had done since the last Sabbath and the names of their victims.



Then came the Queen of the Sabbath, a nude woman who rides a black sheep. Satan first urinates in a hole in the ground then all the audience do the same. Then they put the two fingers in the hole and make the sign of the cross reversed.



Satan comes back to the Altar and gives the Queen the sacraments from hell. After the fornication, he distributes the hellish ostie made on the nude body of the Queen.



The witches had then to pay homage to the Devil, renew pacts, write their names in the Black Book, and have the initiate take an oath. The baptism ceremony for the initiate consumption sometimes involved menstrual blood. The devil put its mark on the initiate and had sex with him.



After these obligations wild dancing and sex followed, along with a feast often consisting either of delicious food or disgusting flesh like corpses of babies (salt is totally banned).



Some even admitted that the dishes were an illusion created by the Devil. Of course, there was a satanic orchestra that was playing along the orgy. Demons were all around participating in the frenzy.



With the first lights of the day and before the corck sing, the devil vanished and the witches went back home.

SABBAT Calendar
08:28 Mar 25 2010
Times Read: 785

Samhain October 31st

Popularly known as Hallowe'en. Other names for this Sabbat include Shadowfest (Strega), Martinmas or Old Hallowmas (Scottish/Celtic).



The Feast of the Ancestors and Witches' New Year. Trick-or-Treating evolved from Pagan "Souling," when children representing ancestors collected food and blessed the houses they visited.



Samhain was the most awe-inspiring of the seasonal celebrations, feared by the ancient people because associated with the coming of winter, the cold and dark days and the scarcity of food. Not unexpectedly, Samhain was also the day to remember the souls of the departed.



Samhain occurred on November 1st and its eve was, of course, October 31st when the festivities actually commenced. (October 31 was then considered New Year's Eve).



The pagan Celts believed that the two worlds, the physical world and the spirit world, drew closer on this date and that ghosts and apparitions of the dead could roam about the physical plane.



Samhain was a magical time, a time of the lighting of bonfires. Pagans customarily would put their fires out, then re-light them to represent the end of the year and the coming of the next.



With the coming of Christianity, which found it impossible to remove all the old beliefs from the populace, Samhain was transformed into All Saints' Day, or as it was also called, All Hallows' day (with hallow meaning holy or holy people).



The day before All Hallows' Day was, of course, All Hallows' Eve, or Halloween. The origins of modern Halloween are therefore based in ancient pagan Irish or Celtic beliefs.





Eostre 22 March

Also called Ostara, or the Spring (Vernal) named after the Anglo-Saxon Goddess of the Dawn and origin of the word "Easter."



Equinox occurs when the night and day are of equal length and celebrate the Feast of Planting and Rebirth. In Wales, Ostara was known as Lady Day and signified the official return of the Goddess from her long winter hibernation.



Many of the myths associated with Ostara concern trips by deities into the mysterious underworld, and their struggle and eventual return to the land of the living.





Lammas 1 August

Also known as Lughnasadh, Lugnasad (Celtic), Feast of Lugh,Loaf-mass, Cornucopia (Strega) or Thingtide (Teutonic). It represents the beginning of the harvest cycle.



In Western paganism, it is a grain festival which is sometimes called the Sabbat of the First Fruits.



Lammas or Lughnassadh honors the Celtic God Lugh, God of harvest, fire, light and sun who undergoes a shamanic sacrificial death and rebirth as a sheaf of grain at Lughnasadh, and/or the Barley God, who dies and is transformed into beer.





Yule 22 December



also known as Yuletide which comes from a Nordic word meaning "wheel".



The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year and, obviously, the longest night.



The waxing sun finally overcomes the waning sun and from this day on, the days will once again grow longer as we head toward spring and the rebirth of fertility once again.





Beltaine 1 May

Also called May Day, Beltane, Bealtaine (Celtic), Walpurgis (Teutonic), Rudemas (Mexican Craft), Festival of Tana (Strega) occurs on May 1st, falling opposite Samhain in the wheel of the year.



Beltane marks the start of summer, the beginning of the light half of the year and is a time for feasting, merry-making, celebration, and joy.



It is a time to look outward and forward and to prepare for the warm summer months ahead. It is also a time for love and union, representing the Divine Union of the Goddess and the God.





Mabon September 21st

Also known as Winter Finding (Teutonic), Mabon is the Autumn Equinox and is associated with the taking of corn and the completion of the harvest.



Druids honored the willow tree, a tree associated with death and rebirth, and cut their wands from its branches just before Mabon.



After this night of balance, darkness will once again overcome the light.





Imbolc 1 February

Also called Candlemas, Lupercus (Strega), Candelaria (Mexican Craft). It is the Feast of Returning Light which marks the banishing of the Winter Season and the welcoming of Spring.



In Ireland, Imbolc started out as a special day to honor the Great Mother Goddess Brigid, Goddess of holy wells, fire, healing, smithcraft, and poetry.



On this night, it is also said that the spirits of the dead walk among the living. In Ireland, these spirits are said to be seen at a crossroads.





Litha 22 June

The Summer Solstice and the longest day of the year. Litha represents the Sun King in all his glory and power.



It is a celebration of passion and of ensuring the success of the crop. The Goddess is heavy with pregnancy and so is the earth.



Activities are mostly those to do with civilization and culture.

SABBAT ----History

The word Sabbat comes from the Greek work "sabatu", which means "to rest". The Sabbats are representative of the turning of the wheel and each honor different phases in the life cycle of the Goddess and the God. It is interesting to note that the eight Sabbats now known to modern Western pagans used to number only five: Bealtain, Midsummer, Lughnasadh, Samhain, and Yule.

Sabbats were often held in the following remote and quite places : ruins and remnants of antique temples (this refer to the various pagan cults), mountaintops, forests, and abandoned churches.



They always occurred at night on special occasions such as Easter or Valborg. Some places have remained famous for the frequency and the number of attendants at the sabbats that were supposed to happen there:







FRANCE



In Brittany, the Carnac area full of dolmen

in the Alps, the Pra-Pratis field near the Queyras (where is erected a stone);

In Auvergne, the top of the Puy-de-Dome (old temple of Venus);

Definition

witch:

1. a person believed to have magic power: sorceress

2. an ugly old woman: hag

3. a charming or alluring girl or woman



The Merriam Webster Dictionary







According to sixteenth-century English lawyer William West:



“ A witch or a hag is she which being deluded by a league made with the devil through his persuasion, inspiration or juggling, thinketh she can design what manner or evil things soever, either by thought or imprecation, as to shake the air with lightnings and thunder, to cause hail and tempests, to remove green corn or trees to another place, to be carried of her familiar (which hath taken upon him the deceitful shape of a goat, swine, or calf, etc.) into some mountain far distant, in a wonderful short space of time, and sometime to fly upon a staff or fork, or some other instrument, and to show a thousand such monstrous mockeries.”















Ethymology

"Witch" comes from the Anglo-Saxon wicce (meaning witch), which in turn derives from an Indo-European root word meaning to bend or change or do magic/religion (making it related to "wicker," "wiggle," and even "vicar"). It is possibly also related to the Old Norse vitki (meaning wizard), derived from root words meaning "wise one" or "seer." "Warlock" (rarely used, for male Witches) is from the Old Norse varðlokkur, "spirit song" (not "oath-breaker").







"When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

When the hurly-burly's done. When the battle's lost and won.

That will be ere the set of sun...

Fair is foul, and foul is fair

Hover through the fog and filthy air."

Macbeth, Act I, Scene I

The use of spells
07:46 Mar 25 2010
Times Read: 802

Spells are closely related to prayers, in that they both are a means of petitioning a deity or deities for a particular desired outcome, and which require the visualization of the goal, statement of desire for the goal and ritualized movements or body positions, such as the bowing of the head, the folding or clasping of hands, or shutting of the eyes, ...







Spells are also closely related to the various methods of employing the powers of the mind, such as "creative visualization," "positive thing," and "positive imaging." Such methods help the one casting the spell to emphasize his mental images so he can better identify with these images and form a clear goal . The person repeats his intention to achieve the particular goal and combines it with the projection of his will and the invocation of the aid of the spirits, deities or inner force.

What is a Spell?
07:45 Mar 25 2010
Times Read: 803

A spell is a spoken or written formula which, in the act of magic or divination, is intended to create or change a particular course of events. The belief in spells and their employment dates back to antiquity. Spells have become an integral part of various religious and magical practices. Their methods vary accordingly from culture to culture, but all spells function on ritual activity.



The spell itself consists of words or incantation (sometimes called charms or runes). The ritual is a prescribed set of actions performed while the spell is being recited. For example, the ancient Egyptians believed words were so powerful that speaking them would achieve the desired result. Certain words and Names on Power were essential in Egyptian magic and had to be pronounced correctly and with the proper intonation.



There are various types of spells. Some are beneficial while others are harmful. Some claim they may be worked on man and beast alike. Their purposes are limitless including healing, love, success, money, fertility, longevity, protection against disaster, illness, misfortune and evil, exorcism of ghosts and spirits, victory in war and over an enemy, truth in divination, weather control and accomplishment of supernatural feats.
