The Labyrinth

They say lose yourself in a maze but find yourself in a labyrinth.

Unlike a maze a Labyrinth only has one path with no dead ends, once you enter you will eventually find the centre and will never get lost.

From above

This symbol is ancient and used as an aid for spiritual awareness. The Rocky valley Labyrinth carvings near Tintagel, Cornwall are thought to be over 4000 years old. The symbol was popular with the celts and used throughout the medieval period.

Traditionally Labyrinths were constructed around lay lines and the act of creation harnessed its power so that as the person walked around the Labyrinth they crossed different sections of energy on their path. One of the most famous and powerful can be found in Chartres Cathedral.

There were various uses for Labyrinths. Ceremonial for various religions including the Pagans, Celts and Christians, usually chanting a passage or verse. Some wedding ceremonies would have the groom walk the path to the centre to pickup his bride and carry her back out again. They were even used by sea witches for capturing evil spirits or sprites. But mostly they are used as a tool to help bring spiritual awareness. The simple act of walking the path to the centre and back while concentrating on a specific issue, clears the mind and awakens the senses.

A quick guide to walking the Labyrinth.

Before you start think of what problems are stuck in your mind.

Think on them as you walk to the centre and release them as you walk out.

Some find the act of walking the path barefoot more powerful

It is best to pick a time where you will have the Labyrinth to yourself

If that’s not possible its fine to pass others but be respectful.

This is the Touchstone Labyrinth in Scotland. Its modern but well worth a visit.

Samhain. What is Samhain and How to Celebrate Witches' New Year. Samhain Traditions and History.

Samhain is finally upon us! One of the MOST favourite holidays of many Pagans and Wiccans, Samhain is the moment when the Time stops and the underworld is staring at you. This day is covered with a veil of secrecy and mysticism. Today we will talk about the history of Samhain and its traditions that remain still in the year of 2021. Samhain Elements, Tools & Correspondences Samhain Colours: red, orange, brown, black Elemental Work: Fire Candles: black, plain beeswax Flowers & Plants: pumpkins, marigold, sage, oak, chrysanthemum Food: bread, pumpkins, apples, turnip, meats, milk, cheese and nuts Drink: apple cider, beer and wine (often represents blood of the Horned God Cernunnos) Samhain Gods & Goddesses: Cernunnos Crystals: carnelian, agate Samhain Animals: deer, fox, bat Incense & Herbs: cinnamon, mugwort, sage, rosemary Other Samhain Ritual Attributes: skulls, pentagram (reversed too), horns OTHER NAMES OF SAMHAIN As always, let's start by reviewing all the possible names you can come across that all will be related to Samhain: Samhainn, Samhuinn, Samain, Samuin (older forms) Sauin (Scottish Gaelic) All Saint's Day Day of the Dead Halloween Hop-to-Naa (Oie Houney, Oíche Shamhna) Dziady (Forefathers' Eve, Slavic) Nos Galan Gaeaf (Welsh) Witches' New Year As you can see, there are A LOT of names for Samhain (and by the way, Samhain is the Irish version but it is the most commonly used term to refer to this holiday as the part of Wiccan Wheel of the Year). But this just highlights the significance of this date and its powerful energy that was recognized worldwide, even if celebrated differently. How to Pronounce Samhain? Samhain pronunciation varies but the most correct version is thought to be the Irish one. As such, Samhain is pronounced as Sau-wn or Sau-ihn. Although I hear many people pronouncing it as Sam-ain. How Did the Word "Samhain" Originate? It is possible that the etymology of the word Samhain lies is Sanskrit - Indo-European language. The word "samana" means "gathering" or "coming together. At the same time, in the Gaelic language the word Samhain means the third month of Autumn, November. The History & Origin of Samhain Despite it being quite clear that Samhain was celebrates widely for many centuries, it is common to believe that it has originates with ancient Celts. They occupied British Island but their colonies stretched through many territories of Europe including France, Italy, Germany and Austria. That said, the historians mostly agree that the birthplace of Samhain holiday belongs to the territories of modern Scotland and Ireland. When is Samhain Celebrated? Unlike some other holidays of the Wheel of the Year, Samhain has a fixed date and is celebrate on Eve of October 31st into the night of November 1st. But was this always a fixed date, even during the old times of our ancestors? No, of course it wasn't. Hundreds and thousands of years ago, at the times of Old Celts there was no October or November. Like many other holidays, Samhain was celebrated according to the Lunar Calendar and as you may know, it is changeable. The historians think that the celebration of Samhain fell of the beginning of the third Autumn Moon. As for many modern Witches, for our ancestors Samhain was something similar to a New Year. It was the end of a cycle and beginning of a new one. There are multiple variations as for how long the holiday was celebrated for, from 3 days to 8 days (seven nights). But it is important to note that Samhain is the day that does not belong to any cycle. It is a pause, a transition, a moment of darkness when the world becomes still. As I discuss in all of my Blog posts dedicated to the Wheel of the Year, these Pagan holidays were, first and foremost, connected to what was the most important to our ancestors: Mother Earth, crops and harvest. RELATED POSTS: What Is Pagan Wheel of the Year and How to Celebrate It? Beginner Pagan's Guide Samhain was not an exception. It is the holiday when all agricultural work was wrapped up at last and it was the time to

prepare for a new and long season ahead. It was also the time when people put their trust into Gods more that even in themselves. Therefore, an integral part of Samhain was to thank the Gods, as well as to ask them for a blessing for a year ahead. This was the time when animal pasture would come to an end and meat preparation would be taking place. Therefore, animal slaughter was seen as both sacrifice to the Gods and an opportunity for a great feast. The Mythology of Samhain As the thinning of the veil between the worlds was recognized, Samhain became surrounded with many myths and legends. Celts thought that on Samhain come Aos Sí, supernatural creatures similar to fairies, beautiful and very powerful. So, it was customary to celebrate their appearance on this night. Another myth is associated with the coming of the icy Divine Being Cailleach or Winter Queen, who was to replace Brigid and Áine, the fertility and Summer Goddess. It was also the time of Cernunnos who was seen as the bringer of long winter and the energy of death associated with the season. Christian Influence on Samhain Of course, we cannot talk about Samhain history without taking a moment too discuss the Christian influence on the holiday. Unfortunately, much like all other Pagan holidays and traditions, Samhain was not positively impacted by the Christian wave. Christianity saw all Pagan holidays as the work of the Devil and did everything possible to eradicate the culture and traditions. And so the holiday of abundance, fertility and transition between the cycles of nature and between the Worlds turned into a demonic rite. This followed by an idea of Samhain being not a "New Year" but a dark dark time when demons and creatures of the underworld come to our world on a hunt. And so the All Hallow's Eve (All Hallow e'en) was moved to October 31 and All Saints Day to November 1st to push out the celebration of Samhain. Of course, even by reading this rather short Blog post on the great history of this holiday, you may say that there is absolutely no association between the Christian and Pagan versions. But you need to understand that many people were illiterate at the time. Moreover, simple folks were busy with their jobs and survival. And so, the Christian story about demons, ghosts and hell became widely accepted. And lastly... What is the difference between Samhain and Halloween? Samhain and Halloween are the same, technically. But from the historical perspective, Samhain precedes All Saints Day. As it happened with many Pagan holidays during the period of Christianization, a Christian holiday would superimpose a pagan one. This resulted in the mixing of traditions and rites. Samhain has lost its sacral meaning, in my opinion. The only traditions that have reached modern days are fire and costumes (although the meaning of dressing up on Halloween has nothing to do with the origins, when people would change their appearance to confuse and ward off spirits, not to look like a "sexy nurse"). Jack o'lantern, giving out sweets and Halloween decorations are traditions that are quite modern. All that said, I do believe that the rise of Neopaganism will aid in rebirth of Samhain and by studying its roots and traditions, we will be able to revive this holiday as it should be.

Much love and have a blessed Samhain

SIGILS

A sigil is a type of symbol used in magick. The term has usually referred to a type of pictorial signature of a deity or spirit. In modern usage, especially in the context of chaos magic, sigil refers to a symbolic representation of the practitioner's desired outcome.

basically a form of art in a way in which inscribed or painted symbols are considered to have magical powers

I personally don't fully burn them to activate them ; I just burn the edges but sometimes I burn the whole thing so yeah lol.

you can always get more creative ;3

How to Use Tarot to Protect Someone

The cards are not just for divination. They are for cursing your abusers and protecting your loved ones.

Step 1: State your case.

In a dim, quiet, private place… shuffle your cards, as you tell them why you cannot physically protect someone you love… why you need their help to do it. Explain to them the urgency of the situation. Let them understand your petition.

Step 2: Choose the barrier.

What kind of magical gate would you like to create?

The Fool: Barrier against imprisonment

The Magician: Barrier against manipulation

The High Priestess: Barrier against lies

The Empress: Barrier against lack

The Emperor: Barrier against abuse

The Hierophant: Barrier against theft

The Lovers: Barrier against enchantments

The Chariot: Barrier against accidents

Strength: Barrier against cruelty

The Hermit: Barrier against invasion
