With no beginning and never ending.”

Tomorrow is Yule. :D
I’ll be up to some witchy things. :) I’m making a prosperity candle for a friend who needs to find his way and finishing up a major Christmas project. Also, I’ll be working hard on a painting and blessing an object that is full of negativity. Maybe I’ll even do some grounding. :D
How To Make Glowing Crystals (Witches of the...
pagannews:
“Crystals are solids that form by a regular repeated pattern of molecules connecting together,” according to the website, Kiwi Web. Creating crystals, J. Bohm writes in his paper, “The History of Crystal Growth,” dates back to prehistoric time when man crystallized salt from the sea. Among the earliest written accounts, early Roman historian Phinius mentions the crystallization...
Pagans and Santa (Pagan Dad)
pagannews:
We live in a world that is often very unfriendly to Paganism, which is ironic because many of the commonly practiced traditions are typically co-opted from ancient Pagan traditions. Now let me say that I am not saying that any of our religious systems go back much further then the 1950’s with only a few possible exceptions. Rather what I am saying is that Christianity took many...

Candles in winter.
This season, draw your energy from the flame. Candles are a prime source of energy and can provide comfort in the Darkness of the season. Remember the holidays though..this is a time for others. Don’t just draw energy for yourself. Candles are great for scrying and transmogrification. Check in with your loved ones and the Earth while She sleeps.
Have a Blessed Yule!
Our Yule Log (Witches of the Craft)
pagannews:
The Yule log is a remnant of the bonfires that the European pagans would set ablaze at the time of winter solstice. These bonfires symbolized the return of the Sun. The Yule log can be made of any wood. Each releases its own kind of magic:
Aspen: invokes understanding of the grand design.
Birch: signifies new beginnings.
Holly: inspires visions and reveals past lives.
Oak:...
Twelve Days of Yule
paganisms:
It’s a little late to start this year, but I thought I would post it anyway. I was looking through books on Yule and I came across this. It’s actually a children’s book, but I loved the idea so much I am going to do it next year.
Yule is one of the biggest Sabbats for most people, including me, so I try to jam pack it full of fun stuff for us to do.
Supplies needed:
12 candles

Some Crystals And Their Uses
thegeminiwitch:
Crystals are a big part of the craft. Every crystal produces an immense amount of energy. Some more than others. Many Wiccans use Crystals in their everyday life. I personally use Amethyst, Citrine, and Tigers Eye every day in different things.
Now let’s get into the Crystals!
Rose Quartz—- Brings beauty, Inspires feelings of love and friendship, releases stress

Sometimes I forget just how much the Goddess sees.
Twas the Night Before Yule
christowitch:
‘Twas the night before Yule, and all through the Coven,
The cookies were baked and removed from the oven.
The bayberry candles were lit on the table,
The altar was wrapped in a new cloth of sable.
The children were nestled, all snug in their beds,
While visions of Yuletime danced in their heads.
Their stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that some...

Yule / Christmas Tree Decorations
christowitch:
Yule Tree Decorations to Make:
Cinnamon Stick Bundles - Bundle a few short cinnamon sticks together using a bit of slender ribbon and tie a bow and a loop at the top. Then glue on little sprigs of holly, pine or dried flowers like rose buds, marigolds or baby’s breath, tucking the stems under the bow.
Bay Balls - Take some Bay leaves. Fresh is best but if all you have is...

Mind-Sharing Spell
trialsofademonhunter:
Enough of you have asked for it, so here it is. It’ll be easier for me to just post it and let you read it at your will.
Ok, this is a very touchy-feely spell, so hang in there.
~Sit facing each other.
~Gently press your foreheads together, thus touching the third-eyes.
~Have the person reach up and clasp their hands on the nape of your neck, interlocking their...
A Message to Young Pagans
pagannews:
In response to this post, I have decided to send out a message to our youth as well. Here we go.
Dear youthful Pagans, our young who search for truth in the religions,
These paths are so exciting, right? I’m sure you’ve started reading, and maybe even practicing, the path of your choice. Did you choose Wicca? Asatru? Maybe you are a Christian witch, or a Hindu? There are so many...
Something that kind of bothers me:
I don’t believe that you always need to say ‘magic words’ to make a spell work. I’m working on gifts for Yule at the moment, each with its own magical purpose, but I don’t feel the need to go through the motions of casting a circle in my kitchen and making a whole ritual deal out of it. I may say a one liner in my head, but I don’t feel like I need to make a big...

You will need:
a sage bundle
Set up your altar as usual and close the circle. Light the stick of sage. When the energy has peaked, you’re ready to ask the Goddess to cleanse and bless your home.
Say the following:
Cleanse this space, remove the past. I’ve found my happy home at last. Fill this place with joy and love; send your blessings from...
