The Wiccan Rede
Triquetra
This symbol, the triquetra represents the three fold law. It also represents the three stages of a women's life, maiden, mother, and crone. It is a common symbol in Wicca
Altar
This is a pretty standard pagan altar. Usually pagan altars or altars of practicing witches have a few candles, a pentacle, an athame and wand, inense and bowls upon it. Sometimes there are also crystals and other protection symbold, along with herbs and oils, sometimes even crystal balls or tarot decks.
Pentacle
Crystals
Crystals, though most people think they are just pretty rocks used in jewelry, actually contain an energy of their own which can be used for many purposes. They also have properties that many people manipulate to use as health benefits. Crystals are quite powerful and mroe remarkable than most people give them credit for.
Fortune Teller
Yes, there are actually people who sit in dusty old shops, waiting to read people's fortunes. However there are many methods to doing this. Read my post on divination to learn more.
About Me
- Dusk
- My name is Dusk The Strange, and some of my interests include art, writing, poetry, and many other artsy things. I have a love for many gothic things, especially gothic Victorian things. I have a love for the usual zombies, murderers, and mental patients, and I also love things such as anime and MMO's. I love makeup and shopping and other girly things. I also love tea and coffee. I do research of things like astronomy and mythology and random interests in my free time too. If you haven't noticed yet, my interests are all over the place.
Candles play a huge part in witchcraft. Certain colors mean specific things, like a red candle is for romance, a white candle is for protection, and so on. If a spell doesn't call for any candles, you can add candles that correspond to the spell for better success!
Crystal Therapy
This is an image of a woman who is trying out crystal therapy, a true form of therapy to ease one's body and help restore the natural chakras. Many people go to trained professionals who know how each crystal works in alleviating tension and how it affects the body. Witchcraft is mainly dealing with what science cannot identify as legit and making it work.
the Moon in Magick
Now the moon has been a central aspect of magick and pagan traditions for centuries. It has its own power and the cycles of it influence many people's practices. Wicca, witchcraft, magick, paganism, they all revolve around the moon to a certain degree.
Number of visits
Herbs also play a large role in witchcraft. They can be used in all sorts of ways from cooking, potions, additions to spells, etc. As important as they are, that doesn't mean that they aren't dangerous! If you don't know what an herb is, then find out before you intake it in any way, shape, or form! If you mess with the wrong plant, you could die!
Witches Moon
I'm a witch and I find this website very helpful I have problem with the "you must believe in yourself" because nobody I know knows what wicca is or just heard it from movies... I'm really trying to open up but they call me "freak". They say that in America nearly everyone is a witch or the ones who aren't just don't mind if a friend or a parent is. I would like some advices on how to make wicca sound like a harmless religion...which it is! The main problem is that when they hear magic they think of the tricks of magicians...I would like to prove to them it's totally different! with some spells I know...but I don't want them to be astonished only by that. I believed without proof and now I have proof...I would like them to do the same or to at least let me believe this.
ReplyDeleteNobody can stop you from believing what you believe in and it sounds like you are trying to let them. A religion is for you and whoever you are worshiping, not for anybody else. If your friends speak badly about you for it, then they aren't good friends. What you need to do is stop worrying about what others think. You shouldn't have to prove anything to anybody. If they want to know, then they will look into it, but if they are calling you a freak, then forget them because they will only hold you back.
ReplyDeletethanks for your precious advice :)
