Witchy Tip:

Get yourself a notebook separate from your Grimoire or Book of Shadows and label it Intentions. Fill it with absolute lies that you intend to turn into absolute truths.

My witch hat is the tallest, most excessively decorated hat in the land.

My cauldron is as black as night and bubbles over with mystical potions.

The Wizard Council desires me carnally for my esoteric knowledge and majestic orbs.

My enemies tremble at the sound of my voice.

My hut is filled with darkness and mystery that lures in unsuspecting children whose life-force I will drain to maintain my youth and vigor.

Spirits lurk around every corner and they think I’m sexy ay-eff.

October

The month of October is a time of encouragement for inner reflection, releasing, and healing your denied grimmer emotions.

October is the Tenth month of the Year and is heavily associated with the Sabbat Samhuin, which many practitioners often consider to be the beginning of the Witch’s Year and the First Sabbat.

Halloween is also heavily based off of this ancient Irish Sabbat, with Jack O’ Lanterns being protective offerings to the spirits as to leave the living be.

The Full Moon:

An October’s Full Moon is called a Blood Moon, and can help give attention to traveling inwards towards unacknowledged feelings and thoughts. The Blood Moon astrologically communicates the chance for an expressive reset and a purge of your emotive shadows.

Correspondences:

Deities: Hecate, Hephaestus, Selene, The Morrigan, Hel, and Vulcan. Elements: Air, Water, and Spirit.. Flowers: Cosmos, Freesias, and Marigolds. Gemstones: Opals and Tourmalines. Holidays: Samhuin. Moons: Harvest or Hunter moon. Signs: Libra and Scorpio. Trees: Ash, Ivy, and Oak.

Daily Spell: October 7th

Window Washing Spell for Cleansing

You’ll Need:

A gallon of spring water

3 to 5 lemons

Rosemary, fresh or dried

Although spring cleaning is a popular animal ritual for most people, a thorough autumn cleaning of the house is a great idea as well. After all, you're about to be cooped up for a few months over the winter, so why not get your home as spotless as possible before you have to close up everything for the season? Use this simple window washing spell to get things tidy not just physically, but metaphysically as well.

Heat the water on your stove top, and order the lemons. Squeeze them into the water, and then add the Rosemary. Bring the water to a low boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Allow the water to cool, then pour it into a bucket or a spray bottle. Use it to wash your windows inside and out, as you clean them, say “Summer has ended, fall is passing, winter is on its away. The windows shine to let the light in, and all is clean today!”

When you're finished, pour out the dirty water somewhere away from your home.

"We have nothing to give you in return. What do you gain from this?"

"I mean... Friends?"

[surlifen]

NO ONE knows how to use thou/thee/thy/thine and i need to see that change if ur going to keep making “talking like a medieval peasant” jokes. /lh

They play the same roles as I/me/my/mine. In modern english, we use “you” for both the subject and the direct object/object of preposition/etc, so it’s difficult to compare “thou” to “you”.

So the trick is this: if you are trying to turn something Olde, first turn every “you” into first-person and then replace it like so:

“I” →  “thou”

“Me” →  “thee”

“My” →  “thy”

“Mine” →  “thine”

Let’s suppose we had the sentences “You have a cow. He gave it to you. It is your cow. The cow is yours”.

We could first imagine it in the first person-

“I have a cow. He gave it to me. It is my cow. The cow is mine”.

And then replace it-

“Thou hast a cow. He gave it to thee. It is thy cow. The cow is thine.”

[some-stars]

This is perfect and the only thing missing is that when “thy” comes before a vowel it’s replaced by “thine”, i.e. “thy nose” but “thine eyes.” English used to do this with my and mine too (and still does with a and an).

[fremedon]

The second person singular verb ending is -(e)st. In the present tense, it works more or less like the third person singular ending, -s: 

I sleep in the attic. Thou sleepest in the attic. He sleeps in the attic.

I love pickles. Thou lovest pickles. He loves pickles.

I go to school. Thou goest to school. He goes to school.

The -(e)st ending is only added to one word in a compound verb. This is where a lot of people make mistakes:

I will believe it when I see it. Thou wilt believe it when thou seest it. He will believe it when he sees it.

NOT

*thou willst believest it! NOPE! This is wrong

If you’re not sure, try saying it in the third person and replacing the -(e)st with -s:

*He will believes it when he sees it. ALSO NOPE! 

In general, if there’s one auxiliary, it takes the -(e)st ending) and the main verb does not. If there are multiple auxiliaries, only one of them takes -(e)st:

I could eat a horse. Thou couldst eat a horse. He could eat a horse.

I should go. Thou shouldst go. He should go.

I would have gone. Thou wouldst have gone. He wouldst have gone. 

You can reduce the full -est ending to -st in poetry, if you need to drop a syllable:

thou sleepst, thou lov'st.

In some common words–mostly auxiliary verbs, or what you might have learned as “helping verbs”–the ending is always reduced:

I can swim. Thou canst swim. He can swim.

Sometimes this reduction takes the last consonant of the stem with it:

I have a cow. Thou hast a cow. He has a cow. 

Or reduces the -st down to -t:

I must believe her. Thou must believe her. He must believe her.

I shall not kill. Thou shalt not kill. He shall not kill.

However! UNLIKE the third-person singular -s, the second person -(e)st is ALSO added to PAST TENSE words, either to the past stem in strong (irregular) verbs or AFTER THE -ed in weak (regular) verbs: 

I gave her the horse. Thou gavest her the horse. He gave her the horse.

I made a pie. Thou mad’st a pie. He made a pie.

I wanted to go. Thou wantedst to go. He wanted to go.

This is different from the third person!

*He gaves her the horse. He mades a pie. He wanteds to go. SO MUCH NOPE!

It’s not wrong to add -(e)st to a long Latinate verb in the past tense, but it’s unusual; it’s much more common to use a helping verb instead:

I delivered the letter. (Great!)

Thou deliveredst the letter. (Not wrong, but weird)

He delivered the letter. (Great!)

I did deliver the letter. (Normal if emphatic, or an answer to a question; otherwise, a little weird.)

Thou didst deliver the letter. (Great!) 

And a couple last things:

1.) Third-person -(e)th is mostly equivalent to and interchangeable with third-person -s:

I have a cow. Thou hast a cow. He hath a cow.

I love her. Thou lovest her. He loveth her.

I do not understand. Thou dost not understand. He doth not understand.

HOWEVER! Third-person -(e)th, unlike -s but like -(e)st, can, sometimes, go on STRONG past-tense verbs:

I gave her the cow. Thou gavest her the cow. He gaveth her the cow.

This never happens with weak verbs:

*He lovedeth her. NOPE NOPE NOPE!

And even with strong verbs, from Early Modern (e.g., Shakespearean) English onward, it’s quite rare. But you will see it from time to time.

2.) In contemporary Modern English, we invert the order of subjects and auxiliary verbs in questions:

Will I die? I will die. 

Has she eaten? She has eaten.

If there’s no auxiliary, we add one–do–and invert that:

Do you hear the people sing? You (do) hear the people sing.

In Early Modern English, this process was optional, and mostly used for emphasis; all verbs could be and were moved to the front of the sentence in questions:

Hear ye the people sing? (Or singen, if we’re early enough to still be inflecting infinitives.)

Do-support was also optional for negatives:

I don’t like him. I like him not.

Thou dost not care. Thou carest not.

She does not love thee. She loves thee not.

3.) Imperative verbs never take endings:

Hear ye, hear ye!

Go thou and do likewise!

Give me thy hand. Take thou this sword. 

4.) Singular ‘you’–that is, calling a singular person by a plural pronoun–arose as a politeness marker; and ‘thou’ fell out of use because it eventually came to be seen as impolite in almost all contexts. In general, once singular ‘you’ comes into use, it is used for addressing

people of higher social status than the speaker

or of equivalent status, if both speakers are high-status

strangers

anyone the speaker wants to flatter

‘Thou’ is used for

people of lower social status than the speaker

family and intimate friends

children

anyone the speaker wants to insult

It is safer to ‘you’ someone who doesn’t necessarily warrant ‘you’ than to ‘thou’ someone who does.

5.) And finally, that ‘ye’? That’s the nominative form of you–the one that’s equivalent to ‘I’ or ‘we.’ 

I  → thou → he/she/it  → we → ye → they

Me → thee → him/her/it → us → you → them

My → thy → his/her/its → our → your → their

Mine → thine → his/hers/its → ours → yours → theirs

Any time you’re using ‘thou’ for the singular, the second person plural– ‘y’all’– declines like this:

ye:  Ye are all a bunch of weirdos.

you: And I love you very much.

your: This has been your grammar lesson.

yours: This grammar lesson is yours.

[felynewytch-moved]

Tip for new witches:

Stop asking other witches and magic practitioners what you should believe; instead research, read, gather information, form your own beliefs. Ask other practitioners what they believe sure, but stop asking them what you should believe.

[sad-ocean-witch]
