Thanksgiving

11/23/2017

0 Comments

 
Greetings everyone & Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who are in the US! I hope the day is treating you well & that you'll have a fabulous time with your family and friends. 

This in mind, we've talked about pre-Thanksgiving offerings and a similar ritual, but what to do on the day itself? We've covered giving thanks in advance, as well as enchanting to have a good time, but what to do about actually enjoying the event?

Well, since you've already prepped for the event itself, I would suggest that you carry something with you as a means of reinforcing what you've already done.

I recommend finding yourself a piece of rose quartz that you can comfortably carry on your person. Consecrate it, then place it on this sigil:

Leave the rose quartz on the sigil above until you're ready to interact with your family, and when you return, place it right back where it was. Come tomorrow, you can bury this outside your house to compelete the spell.

***Note: Be sure that this sigil is traced out by you rather than printed, as a printed variant thereof will not be anywhere near as potent.

Have fun!

Pre-Thanksgiving Ritual

11/22/2017

Greetings folks.

To follow my Pre-Thanksgiving Offerings post and further contribute to the mini-series around Magic for the Holidays, I'm here to talk about a pre-holiday working meant to improve upon the time you spend with family and friends. After a year like this one, I expect some tension and frustrations to come out all at once when we're finally with those family and friends whom we love and/or tolerate (LOL), so I like to preface these interactions with a spell.

Procure four candles of any color of significance to you, olive oil, bay leaves, basil, and thyme. Purchase incense that feels appropriate to the season (at least two sticks). Consecrate each of these things in the manner of your choosing.

Once consecrated, mix the olive oil, bay leaves, basil, and thyme together: I recommend using a pinch of each (or in the case of bay, break off a few pieces of a leaf) in about a shot glass' worth of olive oil, since you want it to be relatively thick, but not so thick that you cannot use it to anoint your candles.

Let this mixture steep for one to two days. You'll be able to smell it when its ready.

When you are ready to roll, anoint each candle in your ritual oil. Arrange these in the shape of a square, with your two chosen sticks of incense to the left and right of this square. Light each candle, then light each stick of incense. Follow this with a prayer:

"In the harsh chill of winter, I seek to commune with family and friends. May they greet me with open arms, may they be overjoyed to see that I am well. May their warm intentions be returned a hundredfold, and might each of us take, from this time together, a greater sense of health & wealth."

Bask in your work and enjoy the effects. ;)

Pre-Thanksgiving Offerings

Hello everyone.

Fantastic to have you here as always, and your readership is much appreciated. To honor that, and in toast to the spirit of the holidays, this is part of my "Magic for the Holidays" mini-series.

To start us off, for those of us who are in the US, Thanksgiving is in a matter of days. We've passed Samhain, All Saints' Day, and All Souls' Day, and now its about time to interact with family. For some of us, that's a blessing, for others a curse, and in either scenario I present to you some magical tips that can be applied; I hope these tips bring about meaningful improvements that won't have you reaching into your pocket or purse for social lubricants. ;)

Without touching on the controversy around Thanksgiving, the name of the holiday centers around giving thanks for what one has. I have found that offerings go over particularly well during this time of year, and as such I would recommend doing so for the few days between now and the holiday proper.

Procure for yourself orange candles (you're welcome to go all-out and grab pumpkin spiced stuffs, if you like), egg nog, your alcohol of choice (if you or your ancestors drink), and a holiday treat of one kind or another (pumpkin pie, apple pie, gingerbread cookies, cheesecake, carrot cake, etc.). Pour a drink for yourself and then one for the landvaettir, your ancestors, your friends, and your family, be they with you physically or in spirit. Do the same with your snack of choice, light a couple of candles, and proceed to have a bite to eat and a nip to drink.

Bask in their presence, and if you feel moved to do so, tell stories about these people you're thinking of. It might seem silly at first, but I find that I become very comfortable with it within a manner of minutes. In doing this, you are providing offerings of sustenance and mirth, lore and imagination. All valid things to each of us, and an appropriate way to start oneself off in getting out of the work mindset and into that holiday spirit.

Enjoy,

​Greetings folks, hope the day is treating all of you well. 

In light of the holidays coming down the pipe, it seems appropriate to discuss holiday rituals each of us can use to better our enjoyment of the times ahead. I'll be running a mini-series to discuss everything from holiday offerings to full blown magical operations that can be done. 

Stay tuned.

Samhain Approaches!

10/26/2017

​Greetings folks, it's great to have you here & I hope the day is treating you well.

Now that the dust's settled and I've got a bit of time to write, I thought I'd jot down a bit about an approaching holiday....that's right, Samhain's just about upon us. Next Tuesday, in fact.

We've all heard the stories about this time of year & how the veil gets thinner and spirits go bump in the night. For me, that's been an every-year occurence, and it always gets the mind whirring around what to do when this opportunity rolls around.

Now's a pretty good time to work with one's ancestors, so I thought I'd share an ancestor-centric rite focused on getting their attention and thanking them for their continued efforts. We are here thanks to them, and they can be a powerful source of support, magically and otherwise.

To start, you'll need a pen, a piece of paper, a plate, a candle holder, and some materials: Horehound, grave dirt, tomatoes (or another Nightshade), Benzoin, and Camphor.

The sigil to be drawn looks like this:
Picture
​Once you've created it, place the sigil on your altar, with the plate over it. Place the candle in the holder, on top of the plate, and then gird it with tomatoes (or another Nightshade of your choice, as noted above).

You will then form a quincunx with the remaining materials. Horehound shall be placed to the bottom left, grave dirt to the upper left, Benzoin to the bottom right, and Camphor to the upper right.

After you've finished the arrangement, say the following prayer & light the candle immediately after:

"Spirits of my past, present, and future, I ask that you open the byways so that I may commune with the blood who walked this earth before I. Let them speak clearly, to me, so that I may honor them & their memories.

My name is [N.N] and I ring the bell for thee."


I recommend following this with an unguided meditation wherein you allow a permeation of self to occur. Let these family members speak to and inspire you, guide you and heal you. If you feel as though some of those spirits are unhappy, you can later take steps to right any wrongs.

Doing so will help you in the year to come.

Blessings,

Thanksgiving & Blessings

Greetings, ladies and gents.

To those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, I'd like to wish you a warm and enjoyable holiday spent with family and friends.  To those of you who do not celebrate it, have a blessed day nonetheless.

That said, since I do, in my own way, celebrate Thanksgiving, I'd like to present an offer to you folks: blessings at a severely discounted rate.  Typically, I ask for 50$ per person for a blessing rite to be done, but for today (11/22/2012) only, I will be offering them for 15$ apiece.

If you'd like to have this done for you, simply click the "Buy Now" PayPal link below, enter your information, and then send payment my way.  I will do the work and respond to you to indicate that the deed is done.

My hope, in doing this, is to make the lives of those participants better, as it would seem that we're in for a rocky set of holidays.

Blessings and warm regards,

SE

EDITED 11/22: Removed the "Buy Now" link, as this discount has run its course.
