The Witchery Tent

Welcome to this magic place! All kind of witches are accepted.

[witcherytent]

I been connecting with an old thing. Working in my connection with the sea 🌊 for those who don’t know I change path and decided to become a Hellenic Polytheism, it was something meant to be.

I grow up close to the sea, the ocean. To be honest when I was little I wanted to be like the sea wild but calm, comforting and furious, untamed and salty. With that say, one of my patrons is Poseidon and Her Wife Amphitrite.

I’ll be documenting a little bit of the things I learn about sea magic with other things.

That doesn’t mean I don’t have other patrons, you can have more than one but I haven’t figured it out who other patron is in my way.

Purification vs. Cleansing

These get mixed up a TON and most people use the term purification incorrectly and i want to clear it up to make it easier to understand the difference between them. They sound much like the same thing but they are entirely separate.

Let's say you have a red sweater, it's a great sweater and it's your favorite, but you have worn it a lot recently and it's looking a little dingy and needs to be washed. So you put it in the wash and tumble it dry and it comes out fresh and clean - This is cleansing. It is removing the dirt and energetic gunk that can accumulate after a while.

Now, it's been a while since you have had this sweater and maybe Red isn't your color anymore or you want a new color sweater (purple, blue, yellow, or whatever). So you decide to bleach it. You strip all the color out of the sweater and you are left with a nice white sweater. But white wasn't what you wanted, you wanted purple, or blue, or what have you. This is purification. Stripping the energy in your space so you have a blank slate. It strips away all good and negative energy and you are left with true neutrality... A white sweater.

How do you make it a different color? You dye it. If you want the color (energy) to be different, you must first strip it all away and replace the color with something new. After purification you have to add energy back into the space. Dance, sing, light some incense or an herb bundle while stating your intention for the new energy of the space, open your windows, play some music that fits the vibe of what you want in your energetically new space. Replace that energy with something new to be what you want.

Have you posted about the muses yet

no i havent but i will now!!! thanks 4 asking!! :3 

The Muses

The muses were the anthropomorphic personification of various types of literature, science, and the arts!  They were invoked by poets, musicians, etc. for inspiration.  Like many groups of nymphs and things like that, their names and even number tend to vary depending on source and over time, but most commonly the muses are known as nine.  

 Historically/archaeologically speaking the mythic figures of the nine muses are believed to have originated from Boeotia, where Thebes is.  

mythologically speaking, according to Diodorus, the muses came from Ethiopia and interestingly were recruited not by a Greek god but by the Egyptian god Osiris, or the Hellenized Osiris known as Serapis.  He also recruited the satyrs and took them all across Asia and Europe on a great tour where he taught people cultivation.  

according to Varro (who was Roman not Greek) and Plutarch, there were only three muses; one born from the movement of water, one born from striking the air, and one from the human voice.  They were called Melete (practice), Mneme (memory), and Aoide (song).  

in Delphi they worshipped 3 muses as well.  They were called Nete, Mese, and Hypate, who were named after the three chords of the lyre.  Alternatively they were known as Cephisso, Apollonis, and Borysthenis, and they were daughters of Apollo.  

yet another origin story has the muses as water nymphs, being born from springs that Pegasus made when he touched the ground with his hooves.  a group of maidens born from a spring is a mytheme across a few different cultures.  

Hesiod’s account is now seen as the standard one; according to him the muses were daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the personification of memory.  Zeus took the form of a shepherd and they slept together for nine nights in a row, hence nine muses.  makes sense right?  since their mother was memory, the muses had the power to make people forget pain and bad memories as well as being inspirational goddesses, sort of like how people use art to escape their lives, i guess.  

early on the nine muses weren’t given specific functions or names, but eventually they were and there came to be less variation and kind of a standard for their names/roles:  

Calliope - the muse of epic poetry.  She was the father of Orpheus by Apollo, and her emblems were the writing tablet, the stylus, and the lyre.  

Clio - the muse of history.  Her emblems were scrolls, books, the laurel wreath, and later the cornett, a medieval wind instrument.  

Erato - the muse of love poetry.  Her emblem was the cithara which was an ancient greek instrument which i think of as an ancient greek guitar though its technically in the lute family.  later on it was common for her to be depicted in a crown of roses.  

Euterpe - the muse of music, song, and lyric poetry.  Her emblems were the panpipes and aulos, a type of flute, and also the laurel wreath.  

Melpomene - the muse of tragedy.  Her emblems were the tragic mask, the sword, the club, and kothornos which were knee-high boots.  

Polyhymnia - the muse of sacred poetry/hymns and sometimes pantomime.  Polyhymnia was also sometimes considered a patron of agriculture.  Her emblems are the veil and grapes.  

Terpsichore - the muse of dance.  Her emblems were the lyre and the plectrum (which is a musical pick).  

Thalia - the muse of comedy and pastoral poetry.  Her emblems were the comic mask, the shepherd’s crook, and an ivy wreath.  

Urania - the muse of astronomy.  Her emblems were the globe and compass.  

Besides Orpheus, the different muses had many children though often it is disputed which children were born to which muse.  For example, the Sirens were said to be the children of either Melpomene or Terpsichore.  

Apollo, as a god of music and poetry, was often depicted as their leader and had children with a few of them.  

In one myth, King Pierus of Emathia in Macedonia had nine daughters whom he named after the muses.  Pierus believed that his daughters’ skills were greater than the muses.  They challenged the muses and were turned into chattering jays because of their hubris.  

The muses feature in other myths, obviously with Orpheus, and also with Thamyris, but I feel like those stories deserve their own post.

Secular Celebrations - Lughnasadh

From Midsummer, we move to Lughnasadh in early August. Also called Lammas, this is the first of the three harvest holidays. Much of what you’ll see associated with this holiday involves bread, bread, and for a change of pace, more bread and also corn. But there are also associations with field games, music, crafts, artistry, games of skill, self-expression, wishmaking, and the first fruits of the harvest. It’s another holiday for picnics and bonfires, so keep that in mind when you’re planning your festivities.

It’s probably easiest to talk about the food first, since that’s a big part of this holiday. Lots of witches bake bread of some sort for Lughnasadh, in observance of the grain harvest. This would be a great time to put that sourdough starter to use, if you made one. But don’t limit yourself to bread alone! Late summer fruits and vegetables are also coming into season and that gives you plenty of options for kitchen witchery. Check your local farmer’s market or produce stand for what’s available, or see what’s in season for your area, since this will vary from region to region.

You can make jams and preserves, try your hand at winemaking or brewing beer, make a vegetarian or fruit-based dish, or cook over an open fire, if you have the option. You should be able to harvest things from your garden as well, since it will be producing by this time, and this is another great holiday for visiting pick-your-own berry patches and orchards. If you can, share what you harvest or make with friends and neighbors. This is a time to remember your circle and your community as well. None of us stand alone, and we are stronger when we stand together and nurture those bonds.

Make decorations with wheat stalks and corn husks, and thank the fields and the sun for their bounty. Just like on Midsummer, you can hang ribbons and paper wishes from trees and shrubs if you like. I’m also partial to (very carefully) gathering brambles, rose thorns, and holly hedge cuttings for use later in the year around Lughnasadh. It’s a tricky, prickly business, but they come in very handy when you’re preparing magical protections for the home.

If you can have a small bonfire or have the opportunity to light up a cauldron or a burning bowl, you can throw incense or paper wishes into the fire. If you like, you can also throw paper packets containing your regrets into the fire, symbolically ridding them from your life and freeing you to move forward.

If the weather allows, have a field day! Play games, have a cookout or a barbecue, play music, and enjoy yourself. Celebrate the abundance that the first harvest brings into your life and all the hard work you’ve done so far in the year. Provided that your circle can gather, maybe have an informal tournament with games of skill and chance. For those of you who just went, “-gasp- Trivia contest!” you’re right on the mark. That carnival atmosphere comes into play again for Lughnasadh, so have a little fun with your near and dear.

Handicrafts and the arts are also celebrated at Lughnasadh. It’s a good time to start that new project you’ve been meaning to do, or to try your hand at a new skill.

This is also a time to begin reaping what you’ve sown and to examine your own progress since the beginning of the growing season. Meditate on how your personal projects are going. What progress have you made toward your goals? What have you learned so far this year? What promises have you kept, which ones could use more dedication, and which ones fell by the wayside?

How have your actions, for good or for ill, affected the direction of your path? What have you sown that is now coming to fruition? What is still budding? What has yet to manifest? What might require more of your attention?

Meditate also on self-expression. How well do you communicate with others? What would you like to improve? Are there boundaries that you need to clarify or reinforce? How much are you allowed or able to be your truest self? What do you long to be able to do or say or express differently?

Keep in mind that progress, education, and recovery do not happen in straight lines or have constant upward trajectories. Be patient with yourself. You may not be exactly where you thought you’d be, but you’re still further along than you were. Even a single step forward counts, and it’s okay to stop and rest if you need to.
