For the Love of Cernunnos

A relatively new witch that focuses on the happiness and magic of love. The Horned God is my main deity. All are welcomed on my Tumblr.

How cool is this?!

Here’s a link to a news article and some videos about production (posted before the film was released)

Their Moana is very talented, and their Maui is a local newscaster whose daughters made him audition!

Rachel House still voices Grandma Tala, Temuera Morrison still voices the Chief, and Jemaine Clement still voices Tamatoa.

Rob Ruha and Jemaine Clement translated and rearranged the music so that the songs still worked while sung in a different language, which is super impressive.

Also: Air New Zealand will feature the Maori version on their in flight entertainment starting in November!

Also, help support the Sami fun of Frozen 2. For anyone interested in the protection and preservation of indigenous languages, that too is a must to check out.

More pics of the Spirit of Wilderness/Cernunnos altar. I have a setup I’m pretty satisfied with for now. In the future I’d like to get some silk holly branches for this half of the year! 🌳🦌❤️

Edit: For those who are curious, I am a witch, but I am not Wiccan, and neither am I a “formal” pagan. What that means for me is that I don’t work with Cernunnos as a specific god or persona, rather as more of a nebulous, faceless “life” energy that is part of a much greater ultimate creative force. Because of this, I feel more easily connected to that energy when it’s left open-feeling, so I use a more generic deer/elk as a representation of it, instead of the man. It symbolizes the energy of vitality, fertility, enthusiasm, health and the sun.

I’ve always felt drawn to the grace and strength of horned creatures, and I do like to honor the traditional idea of Cernunnos/Pan/Herne/Green Man somewhat, but I also don’t like to box myself in too much when it comes to esoteric things.

(changed the photos to ones with lit candles, too. Just ‘cuz it looks nicer)

Witch Crafts:  Witch Ball

Witch balls have been a part of pagan tradition for many years. Their purpose is to protect the home and its inhabitants from evil and harm.   Traditionally, you made a witch ball every year to seal fortune and protection for the next twelve months.  You can hang this ornament in a window, over a doorway, in a bedroom or even outdoors; wherever you feel it would serve its purpose the best. It would look lovely as a Christmas or Yule decoration as well!

You can purchase empty ornaments and bottles from craft stores, or re-use old light bulbs for this!  Fill it with the following:  

Sprigs of Lavender to encourage a calm, peaceful environment

Chamomile Flowers to aid in relieving anxiety

Yarrow, Roses and Rose Quartz crystals to encourage self-love and love in relationships

Jasmine Flowers to attract wealth  and sweet dreams

Cinnamon to draw happiness and  comfort

You could also include:

A seashell and a shark tooth to incorporate the magic of the sea

Curly pods (because they are so cute!)

Cloves to attract good luck and prosperity

Anise wards off the evil eye

Other tiny crystals for added energy

A bay leaf for protection

Away from the herd

[twistedrunes]

I remember years ago listening to a doctor speak on the radio and something stuck with me ever since. I’m paraphrasing but the gist was this:

When someone who has been sad, distant, not themselves for a while suddenly starts going out of there way to see people, often giving them gifts or possessions don’t assume they got ‘better’. This is the time to really ask them if they are okay; to reach out and not simply accept the answer of ‘fine’ or ‘great’ or ‘never better’. Because for some people the relief of having made the decision to end their life can make them happy, euphoric even. 

He pointed out that often this change in the person is such a relief to their friends and family after having seeing someone they love suffer, they just don’t realise what has caused the change and frankly they don’t want to ‘rock the boat’ because they are just so happy to have the person they love ‘back’. But in reality, the person they love is saying goodbye. 

During the interview, he told the story of a colleague (back when he had a factory job before he became a doctor) who had been depressed for a long time. One day he came in and was really happy, people kept commenting on how good it was that he wasn’t sad and grumpy anymore. He gave people some of his things, took people to lunch. Went home and killed himself. 

He explained that when the police came to talk to people, they told him it was a common story they heard “but they were so much better.” 

So be there for your friends and family. Tell them what they mean to you. Let them talk to you without fear of judgement. LISTEN. Suggest people get help if you think they need it. 

Finally, let me add: The world will not be better off without you in it. You matter. You will be missed. Please don’t harm, hurt or kill yourself.

This is incredibly relatable on a personal level…So yes please do spread awareness. We only have each other.

[selftarot]

A spread that reveals your innermost faults, how you are affected, and how to pull through.

1. The darkest aspect of my self

2. The area of my life that is most affected

3. What is my inner demon

4. How do I understand/accept/heal

5. How I can overcome this 

6. Possible outcome

Witchy Tip: Write

You don’t need to be Shakespeare to write powerful spells, rituals, and prayers. However, practicing writing (free word association, creative, poetry, brainstorming, etc.) can only make you better at it!

Furthermore, no one else necessarily has to see or hear your writing. It is okay if the only audience is Deity or Spirit.

Book of Mirrors

A journal for reflection and introspection usually geared toward your practice.

It can be a mundane journal, or drafting journal for spellwork and ritual.

Can also be used to ventilate your worries.

A Book of Mirrors can be used as a place to informally compile notes, sketches, and rough draft writing.

Book of Shadows

Can include a wide variety of information pertinent to your particular practice (s). Including charts, information on esbats and sabbats, inventory of crystals you own, herbology, recipes, and many other types of entries.

Could be described as a sort of personal, magickal scrapbook, though it need not be decorative.

Can contain developed information on topics that interest you.

Digital Journals/ Blogs

Can serve you as a mobile version of a Book of Mirrors, Book of Shadows, Grimoire, etc.

Easily shareable when you are networking with other practitioners and exchanging knowledge.

Grimoire

Can be viewed as a more formal presentation of developed spells, rituals, prayers, blessings, etc.

May be very personal, especially if you are a solitary practitioner.

Bullet Journal

Great for daily writers.

Can help you track progress in whatever areas of your life you are working to improve.

Can be as informal as a Book of Mirrors if you desire.

Helps you organize and plan.

Don’t worry about making mistakes…

Especially if you are writing informally. Not everything about your craft has to be somber and ceremonial!

Feel free to emulate your poetry heroes or simply express your worries.

If you want to deepen your practice, you might consider writing in your favorite way.

It can be a great way to keep your mind sharp.

You will meet many types of people in your life. You will meet delicate flowers, raging oceans, quiet forests, towering mountains, and colourful skies. You will meet thunderstorms, you will meet lightning. They will knock you down, they will leave you breathless. You will meet sunrises, you will meet gardens. They will give you light, they will take you on adventures. Explore them. Get lost with them. They all have something to teach you. 

[suzie-guru]

Reblog if you want to people to come into your inbox and tell you what type of person you are to them - gardens? a sea storm? a sunrise that is brilliant and bold, or a sunrise that that is soft and pale with mist and promise? anything or everything…
