The Serpent Sigil

While serpents ordinarily rule over life/death/rebirth, fertility and the dichotomy of “good/evil” and light/dark, wishes need not be confined to these parameters – apply instead the concept of the kundalini,the force of desire. || for more information on my use of the serpent, see Feeding the Black Serpent ||

A Few Uses

The Wishing Serpent: To use, simply write your desire, beginning where the neck of the serpent meets the head. If you choose to recreate the sigil in favor of printing (when this sigil is used at its exact size, the “uncoiled” measures around 3 feet), ensure there is room to complete your desire. Cut along the lines, which should leave you with a long, serpent ribbon. This is best performed outside, though it may be done inside away from flammables over a large-mouth bowl. Using a candle placed on the ground (of a fitting color – red works as a default), allow the tail of the serpent to catch, holding the snake by its head, allow it to burn from the bottom to the top. If used inside, scatter the ashes to the wind, otherwise they have already been aptly scattered. 

The Healing Serpent: Utilizing much of the same procedure as above, write the name of he/she you wish to heal 7 or 9 times upon the face of the sigil – again, starting from the neck of the serpent. Cut along the lines. Coil the serpent back and flip it over, on the reverse, write 3, 7, or 9 times the name of nature of their ailment(s). Using a black, white or red candle, perform the same process as above – reading the prayer:

Coiled serpent, now –  Unwound – Behest:  My bidding, go about  The soil, Viper tongue splayed – Oh, Black Serpent, Recant the poisoned- Tooth venom, And devour that sickness That you hath cast, Recant – by witch’s will –  And feed it to the forge.

The Witches’ Watch: Should an event arise that calls for a timed ritual, this serpent might serve as time-keeper –such as for opening the realms, crossroads work, evocations, invocations and possessions. Simply cut along the lines and drive a piece of cotton cord or thread through the head of the serpent and hang it in a safe place. When you are ready to begun your working, ignite the tail with your working candle – burn times vary based on paper used, circulation, temperature, etc. I recommend trying a test burn using the same paper and location, to get a general idea of your time frame. Play with the size of the sigil to shorten or lenthen your working time.

The Poison Serpent: On the face of the sigil, write out your unsavory desires, perhaps something to the extent of: “May the poison serpent rot the flesh and mind.” On the reverse, write your victim’s name nine times, beginning not at the neck, but at the tail. This pairs the elevation of your desire (over your victim) with the symbol of their force of will (to fight) being eaten away as the serpent is devour by the flame and freed into the aether. Collect the ashes and blend with sulphur powder, a poisonous plant of your choosing (ideally one that’s symptoms match the nature of your desire), iron oxide (optional) and bone dust (optional). 

There are countless uses! Please, by all means get creative with it! I’d love to hear what some of you guys [would] do with it!

Dear New Witches,

I’m saying this one last time and then I’m done:

If you honestly consider yourself a Witch, don’t cast curses.

The Wiccan Rede clearly states An It Harm None, Do What Thou Wilt. If you want a short version, here it is: Do No Harm. 

What’s curses? Spells cast with the intention of doing harm. Curses, hexes, jinxes and other spells cast with the intention of causing damage, great or small, fall into the category of black magic. 

You know what Witches do with black magic?

Nothing, because Witches are smart people who wish to Do No Harm.

So if you see some twit in your local area or on the internet going “OMG look at these curses they’re so easy you should try one,” then the person has no idea what they’re doing and you should stay away from them. 

Much Love,

       Fellow Witch. 

P.S.- Read Scott Cunningham’s books. All of them. 

[loveless-dream]

Dear new witches,

If you consider yourself a witch, then you’ve already figured out that nobody can tell you what to do.

[will-o-the-witch]

Dear new witches,

We have fallen into a path where most people either think we are evil or don’t realize we even exist. We are overlooked and downplayed, our symbols and our craft misrepresented in the media as cannon fodder for a good fantasy novel, or as a way to drag anything associated with the term “New Age” through the mud. More than likely you have felt this even in yourself, wondering if you were really “that” person now, that crazy person that you and your friends joked about when you were younger. You wonder if everything is a mistake. You hear angry Christians tell you about hellfire.

And yet here we are, you have pressed forward at least far enough to find this, to know somewhere that what other people believe does not concern you. Nowhere is there logic for “if X doesn’t believe in Y, you should stop doing Y.” You are not them, your beliefs, your religion, your craft is entirely yours alone. We hear a lot about Hell. If we are not Christian/Abrahamic, then Hell isn’t a threat. We don’t believe in it. If we are, then we feel in our hearts that what we’re doing doesn’t make the cut for sending us there, for whatever reason. If subscribing to the religion/beliefs of others were logical, none of us would even be witches because of the massive amount of people that tell us we’re going straight into the flames for it. That is not religious freedom.

Wicca is obviously not Christianity, but it is not any more or less valid. It is simply different. Just because Wicca is not the mainstream does not give it the right to impose its beliefs onto non-Wiccans. You do not have to subscribe to the Rule of Three or the Wiccan Rede any more than you have to subscribe to Leviticus. That is not religious freedom. To any wiccans who may read this, please, don’t let yourselves turn into the exact type of people many of us were trying to escape when we came to the craft.

Magic is not black and white. When we “harm” someone there is almost always something else going on. When a witch curses, it is often with good reason, because they can’t let themselves suffer another attack, because the healing and protection spells aren’t working, because the legal system dealt unfair justice yet again. Because it is their craft, and THEIR belief systems, and THEIR right to decide what is warranted. To claim that every situation in life can be solved without ever having to brandish your claws or fight for yourself is simply privileged and unrealistic. I pray those who believe it never have to know otherwise.

If you are not Wiccan, then you DO NOT have to subscribe to ANY wiccan beliefs or practices. Why? Because it ain’t your religion and you shouldn’t have to follow a religion you don’t believe in. It’s that simple. You’ve come far enough to know that, it’s why many of us are here. But for those of us still struggling to find that footing, I hope that the original post doesn’t fear-monger you into conformity.

Love, Will-o

[the-witchy-kitten]

Rebloging because of that ^^^ I’m a witch but not a Wiccan. However I don’t do curses only because I don’t wish to practice them. Dear new witches, you can be a witch who’s a wiccan, or just a witch ~
