The sabbats are holidays celebrated throughout the year on solstices, equinoxes, and the midpoints between them. These sabbats form the Wheel of the year.
There is a controversy surrounding the dates of these holidays, as people celebrate them all over the earth, not only in the northen hemisphere but in the southern too.
One viewpoint is that the Sabbats should be celebrated as they were originally created to be… in other words, Samhain is October 31st, regardless of where you live. In the Southern Hemisphere, even though you are just gearing up to summer on October 31st, this perspective says that you celebrate the cleansing and releasing, the honouring of the dead just as you would if you lived in the Northern Hemisphere. The other viewpoint (the one I personally agree with) is that you should celebrate when you feel like the season corresponds with the holiday, in other words, your craft, your rules. So if you live in the southern hemisphere, you have the choice.
I’ll be writing the dates for each holiday starting with the northen hemisphere and then the dates that many people celebrate them in the southern hemisphere

Smudging & Smoke Cleansing: A Comparative Post
Okay, so I guess we need to talk about smudging vs smoke cleansing (which is not a wide-spread term, but it’s what I’m going to use to help differentiate between the two practices for this post). Now, there are a lot of similarities between traditional smudging and smoke cleansing. Both are methods of cleansing that utilize the smoke of sacred herbs and plants to cleanse and purify a person, place, or thing.
Here’s a visual, but don’t worry, we’ll discuss below:
First, Smoke Cleansing:
Like traditional smudging, this is the practice of cleansing somewhere, something, or someone with smoke.
Most commonly, white sage (or, as we call it sacred sage or ceremonial sage) is used in this practice, but other things can be substituted. There are many cultures who have practiced smoke cleansing, so you can find an herb or resin that’s applicable to any path.
Smoke cleansing is usually done in a circular, sunwise path. The direction in which you being may very depending in your path or tradition, but most books will tell you to begin in the east.
Smoke is fanned into every corner and crevice of whatever you’re cleansing in order to remove spirits, negative energy, and evil.
Smoke cleansing may be accompanied by a chant or something similar. This can be personal or textbook and is generally said out loud.
Because this practice is passed down from book to person or from mentor to student, it remains relatively the same between most people who use it—tools, smokes, and chants, on the other hand, may vary.
Smoke cleansing is considered a very important practice because of the act of cleansing.
It can be use before, during, or after ritual or spellwork.
Traditional Smudging:
Traditional smudging is a pre-ceremony element used to cleanse and purify and area of ceremony as well as any of the people who are going to pass into the circle—dancers, veterans, storytellers, etc.
Like a lot of our ceremonial practices, the concept of smudging is usually passed down through oral tradition and generally through a family line. There is not a lot of accurate representation of this practice in books; so, without oral tradition, the practice as Native Americans know it would cease to exist.
Some elements of smudging will differ from group to group. There is no one way for Native Americans to do things. Every tribe, clan, and family will have their own set of practices; and every person will have their own prayers.
Tools for smudging are usually traditional—at least for ceremonial purpose. Though the actual practices vary, the tools are almost always familiar.
Smudging is accompanied by constant prayer (generally said in the heart) and uses specific movements when smudging your smudge fan, yourself, or someone else.
The prayers that accompany this practice are not written down and are totally different from person to person. We are never taught how to pray.
Traditional smudging also utilizes white sage—however, it is usually incorporated into a blend. My family, for example, uses sage, tobacco, and cedar.
Unlike smoke cleansing, traditional smudging is not often used to get rid of spirits. In fact, because the practice has been used during the prayers of our race since the first people, it’s often thought of as a way to connect with the spirits of our ancestors. Sometimes, it’s taught that our prayers are carried along with their prayers.
The smoke from smudging also serves to put a person into a community mindset. Because we have passed this tradition down from first people, the smell of the smoke evokes a feeling of being at home no matter where you are or who you’re with. It’s something that the entire community can share, whether they are related or not.
Smudging is considered sacred both because of spiritual practices and the connection to community and is often used as a way to honor ancestors while cleansing.
EDIT: I forgot to mention we also have specific ways of disposing of ashes. :O
One day, when I’m less afraid that everything I say will be taken by appropriators, I’ll write about these practices. One day…
This is why everyone who equates smoke-cleansing with smudging and thinks that it’s not culturally appropriative and hurtful can fuck right off.

so I taught myself embroidery about a month ago and then it was time for xmas gifts, so I made this for my best friend and I can’t wait to send it to him but it’s a surprise so I can’t show it to him and I feel the need to show it off because it’s only my third finished project and I’m just so so proud of it

Voodoo Mama's Spellbook: Revenge Curse
*My spells are okay for any and everyone to use in their craft, not just those who practice Voodoo or Hoodoo*
Oh babies this sure is a NASTY spell. This is a revenge cross/curse. I originally got it years ago from a website and changed a lot of aspects of it. I cannot seem to find the original writer to give them the original credit but if you know please let me know. Again, I have changed a lot about the spell and have made it my own.
Ingredients:
Spiderwebs, from a very dark place in your home preferably
Black Square of Fabric
Dead Insect
Plants or herbs for your intent. I will be using Spanish Moss and the flowers from a Persian Silk Tree
Personal Item of the Person
Black Candle
Oil to anoint the candle with proper intent (Optional, I will be using Black Arts Oil)
Small slip of paper
Pen (If you can write in bats blood ink that would work amazing too.)
Directions:
Write what you want to happen to the person on the slip of paper. Do you want them to suffer? Lose their job?
Anoint the candle in your oil of choice and light it. Imagine everything that will happen with this curse. Really put your energy into it. If you are contacting any specific deity for this, now would be the time. If not, continue.
As the candle burns, place the cobwebs you obtained into the center of the square. This is to bind and hold. This will stick.
Take the dead insect and place it inside of the web. This insect represents your victim. They are now stuck in your web. Add the personal item at this point to bind it to them. Bonus points if it is their hair or nails as it will make the spell more likely to work and even stronger.
Sprinkle any herbs or plants that you gathered into the mixture, visualizing their intent.
Pour the candle wax into everything. Just onto all of the ingredients. You are sealing them in and there is no turning back at this point.
Tie everything together with the fabric. Thank your deity if you called them. Go somewhere dark and dank, using the candle as your only light. Like a corner of your basement, a crawlspace under your house, a hole in your closet wall, somewhere like that. Make sure it will get as little light as possible. Once you find a place, blow out the candle and let the smoke linger. Now you will leave it there for either 16 days or 16 weeks, which is 4 months. There is no in between. The number must be 16. So choose the smaller time or the longer time. Either way it will work but I would think of it like this: The longer it stays the more extreme the curse will be, as it builds up over time. Do not look at, touch, or mess with it until it has been either 16 days or 16 weeks. I would count it down to the minute just to be safe. The devil cannot even refuse you when you use the number 16.
As the time continues, you will notice things start to slowly happen to the person. Small inconveniences. This is when you know that the energy has found the person. It is watching them and waiting on your last command.
You are now to seal the deal. All of the built up energy in this charm is ready to be released. Take it and (quickly) go to a graveyard. Bury the charm under ground and as soon as it is completely covered, the energy will spark and sink into the ground. Pushed by the spirits, it will find the person you aimed it at and hit them like a ton of bricks.
Warnings: This is a very powerful spell. I would not recommend it if you just want to cause a little bad luck on someone. This is for serious revenge and someone who really deserves it. THIS CURSE CANNOT BE REVERSED. THE CURSE WILL CARRY ON UNTIL IT FEELS IT HAS DONE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF REVENGE FOR YOU. The energy has to go somewhere and if you leave it alone for longer than 16 weeks the spell will hunt you down. If you throw it away it will hunt you down. You cannot back out after the wax is poured. If you choose to stop, before the wax is poured of course, simply take the bug out of the web and bury it and then dispose of the other items.
