“‘Is he a man of property?’ 'Only other people’s.’”
— Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay
witchcraft is nothing if not resourceful. even when you have nothing, you can still cast spells. you have yourself.
you have your hair to tie and bind with, your blood to ensnare, your teeth and nails to pierce, spit, skin, bile. all your humors and wit at your disposal.
you are more than intents, you have more than enough.
“‘Witches are all equal. We don’t have things like head witches. That’s quite against the spirit of witchcraft.’ ‘Oh, I see,’ said Tiffany. ‘Besides,’ Miss Level added, ‘Mistress Weatherwax would never allow that sort of thing.’”
— Terry Pratchett - A Hat Full Of Sky
Why Yule Needs to Stay Creepy
“…There’ll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago…”
So I have been thinking about our Contemporary conceptualization of the Christmas season a lot lately and it’s kind of interesting. So many things we associate with Christmas – Christmas trees, greeting cards, Santa Claus, his reindeer and elves, gift-giving in general – all of these things came into vogue in the 19th Century and are very sticky-sweet, in my opinion. They’re lovely, but not filling. If we just scratch the surface of the Christmas we know and love and peek back into its history, we find something much meatier.
Before the cheerful Christmas tree, a number of other plants were associated with Christmas. The holly, associated with sacrifice and the blood of Christ, and the parasitic mistletoe, associated with the death of Baldur in Norse mythology – these were the plants associated with Christmas before the Christmas tree became the standard.
Also, the Yule log. The Yule log, meant to provide light on the darkest night of the year, was a magic charm in and of itself. If it did not burn through the night, it would be a terrible omen. By watching the fire and coals of the Yule log, one could also predict who would give birth and who would die in the coming year.
When our simple Santa Claus is reduced to his predecessors, one is left with Odin, ancient Norse God of battle, Saint Nicholas, the canonized former bishop of Turkey, and Father Christmas, the hard-drinking gluttonous representation of holiday merriment. And all of them brought ghastly friends – Odin, the spirits of the Wild Hunt and Saint Nicholas, his helpers (including Knecht Rupert, Krampus, etc.). Father Christmas, more of a personification of the season than a night visitor, undoubtedly brought many hangovers.
Before stories about reindeer, snowmen, or things of that ilk, there were ghost stories. Charles Dickens did not invent the Christmas ghost story in “A Christmas Carol,” but popularized an already-existing folkloric trend. If we look to the old tales of Christmas, we find stories about witches that rode the night air, cursing the birth of the Savior. There are stories about fairies, ghosts, and Devils that wreak havoc, frightening livestock and damaging property. In an era before television or radio, homemade storytelling was one of the primary forms of entertainment. And winter was the storytelling season.
You also have mumming, wassailing, and caroling – dressing up in colorful costumes and (sometimes drunkenly) begging for money door-to-door. As John Grossman notes in his book “Christmas Curiosities,” Christmas before the Contemporary Period resembles our Halloween more than it resembles the Christmas we know now.
Let us not forget, those of us who acknowledge the Wheel of the Year, that the season of darkness extends from Halloween to Christmas. This darkness only begins to fade when we gain back the Sun at the Winter Solstice. From Halloween to Christmas, the dead may roam the Earth and weird things may happen. In his classic “Mastering Witchcraft,” Paul Huson notes that Yule is not a time for pleasant spell work, but cursing! It is a time of dark magic and mystery. And we need this time. To understand the light, we must understand the darkness – the witches, ghosts, and Devils of the old Yuletide. Like the trees that go dormant, we must embrace the darkness of winter to grow and thrive.

Amanecer : 🌄
Al amanecer trabaja con hechizos proyectados al estudio, el trabajo, los negocios, la salud y los viajes.
También es un buen momento para rituales de purificación y buscar ayuda para nuevos comienzos.
Mediodía : 🌆
Al mediodía aprovecha la máxima energía del Sol para hacer conjuros de fuerza, coraje, protección, éxito, oportunidades y asuntillos de dineros.
Atardecer : 🌅
Aprovecha el atardecer para potenciar hechizos de catársis, para dejar ir la enfermedad, el mal de corazones y los fallos. Destierra la miseria y el dolor. Haz rituales para romper con adicciones, malos hábitos y la negatividad recurrente.
Noche : 🌃
La noche es el momento para los embrujos de mejora personal y crecimiento. Potencia los sueños psíquicos, la consciencia, la adivinación,la espiritualidad, el amor, la paz, el cerrar viejas heridas y liberar los espiritus encerrados.
Cuando preparas hechizos (ESP):

Si quieres mantenerlo cerca, entiérralo en tu jardín.
Si quieres atraer algo, entiérralo bajo tu puerta.
Si quieres eliminar su influencia, quémalo.
Si quieres que se aleje y se hunda, lánzalo al agua que corre.
Si quieres dispersarlo en la distancia, busca un cruce de caminos.
Si quieres arreglar su influencia, sepúltalo bajo un patrón de cinco.
Si quieres que los espíritus se ocupen de ello, busca un cementerio.
Si quieres mantener su origen en secreto, escóndelo en un árbol.
Si quieres que trabaje en secreto, en la comida o en la bebida.
Si tiene que trabajar sigilosamente, ocúltalo en la ropa.
Si quieres que comience o crezca, lánzalo al este.
Si quieres que merme o se acabe, lánzalo al oeste.
Si quieres que sea cíclico, déjalo en un estuario con mareas.
