Dew Drops (Massanutten, VA 2020).

I noticed this fascinating collection of dew droplets on a moss-covered tree limb, while exploring the Ridge Trail at Massanutten Resort.

Witchy Words:

The Theban alphabet, also known as the Honorian alphabet or the Runes of Honorius, is a writing system used to protect sensitive or secret information. Many modern witches still read/write Theban to insure the contents of their Book of Shadows (spells n’ such) aren’t easily read by non-magick-folk. My style (shown in photo) has been modified to incorporate various marks and symbols into my own version of The Witches Alphabet.

Ceremonial knife:

A very special gift. This knife has been used for its intended purpose(s) and is blessed with blood and lunar magick. The blade isn’t as sharp as other obsidian knives I’ve handled, but the agate is stronger and hasn’t shown any signs of chipping.

Element Altar

Earth • Air • Fire • Water • Spirit

To honor the elements, create a sacred space and respectfully request their presence. Set forth a representation of each element, such as an appropriate-color candle, and give thanks for their favor.

Blessed Be )O(

Acorn Magick: Good luck, protection, wisdom, and personal power.  A dried acorn is an excellent natural amulet for keeping a youthful appearance. Acorn Lore: The oak is a sacred tree to many cultures and spiritual practitioners, including the Druids. There is a Nordic tale of the great god Thor sheltering beneath a mighty oak tree during a storm.  The goddess Diana is often depicted wearing a necklace of acorns.  The Celts and Druids found the oak tree especially symbolic of the Samhain season.  The tree is a symbol of the Horned God, Herne or Cernunnos. The acorn is considered the first sacred food of civilization.  It’s symbolic of security and abundance, and it counteracts loneliness, illnesses, and pain.  It’s energy aids in maintaining longevity, draws good luck, and preserves the illusion of youth.
