Sorry it has been a while since I have posted on this blog and I am trying to get back into the habit of posting regularly. Anyway, lately I have been doing a lot of research and a bit less actual practice, but that doesn't mean I haven't been doing it. I have been growing in my knowledge, experience and power and therefore have been delving into more powerful and complicated magick. I have also been doing research on more dangerous magick. I am NOT talking black magick, I would never use black magick, I am just saying that as we get into more complicated and powerful practices they start to become more dangerous. I have actually been reading up on the art of conjuring spirits and it is very complicated and highly dangerous and not advisable to anyone who has not had intense study and preparation of the topic. I myself am not ready to even try such a feat and have no desire to at the moment, considering the dangers it can impose. When you are conjuring any kind of spirit, there is no guarantee that it will be a good spirit, you might end up conjuring a demon or so on. Also, these beings are much more powerful than us and could easily possess us which is why we use nothing short of the most powerful of protection rituals before attempting any kind of contact. Meddling in these powerful acts could get you killed, or worse!
Sorry to venture off track about conjuring spirits and I'm not trying to mislead you by saying that it is black magick, because it isn't as long as you are doing it on non harmful intentions. Still, black magick or not, it is dangerous and I highly advise against it unless you are truly prepared. Also, I am not going to post this kind of info in case anyone tries it under bad intentions or anything like that.
The reason I made this post is because as we stop fooling around with silly spells to get us a good grade on an assignment or change our eye color or something like that and turn towards more powerful magick, people will also start to worry and judge us more. The salem witch trials are over and happened long ago, but people are still being murdered for the use of witchcraft. It is a highly feared practice and many people think it is evil and some practitioners will end up dead because of this. People aren't going to give you the chance to explain your practices and will immediately judge or act. I would advise anyone to not go out of their way to mark themselves as a witch or a practitioner of witchcraft. If you have parents or roommates who disapprove of the practice and you keep a book of shadows, I would advise you to either hide it well or use a different script to write it in so that it cannot be read by others as easily. You can google magick scripts or even make up your own or something like that. But I just want to warn you because witches are still discriminated against and don't go throwing your beliefs out there because you might end up dead. That is all for now.
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!
