Witch Missing in Action

Yeah yeah, Im sure all the people who at least tried to read this blog realized it went away for a bit. Well I assure you I still remember all of you. If you are still here, then I will still be posting. :) I've been going through a lot of changes and rites through the last half of this year. So much has happened, and none that I can even describe accurately. My life has had a lot of challenges the last few months, but I think I'm finally over the long hard climb uphill. If anything, I would love to get back into the rhythm of blogging both on here, on my twitter, and on my LJ once more. For all of those who are curious, you can find me on Facebook Here

A Witches Come Back; Thoughts on Organized Wicca

So, I sit here at Six AM, after a long day of running around and getting things in order. I finally have time to return to you. I’m sitting here now, on a brand new computer, my comfy PJs, My writing glasses, and a pen in my hair my cat curled up on my desk and a nice cup of herbal tea. Perfection. If the last few months have been just as hectic for you as they have for me, I’m sure that you can understand when I say this is the first breath I’ve take that doesn’t feel out of place. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our life; we loose sight of what is actually important in our lives. The things we need to feel calm, at peace, and in a nice cushy center. More often than not, even the most experience Witches, Priestess, or Druids find themselves so wrapped up in life that they can forget who they are, or what we’re put on this planet for. We loose ourselves in personal relationships, or overwork ourselves, take on more than we can handle, and goddess knows what else.
However…sometimes, even after a long day a voice whispers in your ear and tells you to go and find that center. It feels like it’s been weeks since I’ve wrote anything, since I’ve helped anyone, and since I’ve had time to honour and praise the Lady & Lord and all of the workings of Magick that happen in our everyday lives. Now, I could sit here and tell you everything that has happened to me since I’ve stopped regular posting. I can sit here and post pictures that I should’ve, I can sit here and go on and on and on about the lessons that have made them self very much known in my lives (some harder to accept than others). However, If I did that, no good would come from it, and I wouldn’t be helping anyone. All I can do, is take what I have learned over the past few months, apply it to my life and hope that in my experience I can help those who need it. Whether we are eclectic Witches, Green Witches, Kitchen Witches, or a strange mix of whatever you are in the mood for…we all have one purpose. To help the world return to the Goddess and God. I mean, have we really made any headway in the last handful of years? Any actual headway?
A lot of Witches/Wiccans take pride in the fact that we have no established leader. It’s our way, to live in harmony with one another, to work hand in hand as equals to a common goal. Some would argue that the fact that we aren’t prosecuted is headway enough, that we can be witches in public, and that we can be open about who we are. Yes, all of these are wonderful things. And I would have to agree that that is actual headway. Especially when just a few decades ago, there were still Witch trials here in America. Besides all of those wonderful things, have we actually made any general public claim that we’re here to stay? Have we marched Washington DC and made it know that we’re not Devil Worshipers who still cast spells in the shadows? Two years ago, in a drama class I was taking, we had a substitute teacher, She noticed my pentacle necklace and asked what it meant. When I told her I was a Witch, in all seriousness she asked me if I could cast spells on her and fly…Now this was a College graduate mind you. (although, I do admit Flying on a broomstick would be amazing.) I think, that if we had an established leader…that we made ourselves as public as Christians, that we could erase the stereotype, and let people know what, who, and why we are here.
To accomplish things on a larger scale, we have to have some sort of direction and guidance. Which currently, this is exactly what makes us not an organized religion. I’m not suggesting we alter our believe system or make all witches choose one tradition. I’m just saying we need someone to help guide us in a direction of forward. Someone who can speak publically for the Goddess and God, a “Lady of the Lake” so to speak. I feel as though we’re stagnantly waiting for things to happen. That with good will and patience we can just wish things to change. Which, may be mostly true for individual levels, I feel like we need someone to help direct us foreword. To give us our goals, to help return daily enthusiasm to the God AND the Goddess.
With that, I leave you all for tonight. As soon as I get back into routine, Ill post more of my thoughts on the subject, and perhaps I’ll give a general outline on how I think Organized Wicca could work and would help us to get to the goal that the goddess had intended for us.
Blessed Be, Fae Kieran

Technical Difficulties Still

Apparently, I just like to tease you guys with the fact that I'm coming back.
:/

Or my computer is just mean like that.

Herb of the Week: Thyme

The origin of the name "Thyme" has been traced to two possible sources. Thymus is a Greek name for "courage," but to the Greeks it also meant "to fumigate." It has been used through the centuries as a remedy for many ailments, from epilepsy to melancholy. Nowadays, it is prescribed by herbalists for intestinal worms, gastrointestinal ailments, bronchial problems, laryngitis, diarrhea, and lack of appetite. It has antiseptic properties, and can be used as a mouthwash, skin cleanser, anti-fungal agent for athlete's foot and as an anti-parasitic for lice, scabies, and crabs. For skin inflammations and sores, make a poultice by mashing the leaves into a paste.

Herb of the Week: Alfalfa

This Week, the Herb is Alfalfa. This information comes from this site: Here
There was A LOT of information, so I didn't want to make a too big of a post. Click the above link for the rest of it!

What is Alfalfa?

Alfalfa is a plant which sends its roots down twenty to thirty feet into the ground and brings up the minerals that are not available on the surface. For this reason, the Arabic word Alfalfa means "father of plants". Alfalfa is rich in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that play a vital role in the strength and growth of our bones and in the maintenance of a healthy body. It contains protein and vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin K. It also contains calcium, potassium, carotene, iron, and zinc. It can be taken in the form of seeds, leaves or tablets.

What are the Benefits of Alfalfa?

Alfalfa has been used by the Chinese since the sixth century to treat several health conditions. It is considered the richest land source of trace minerals. Rich in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients Alfalfa makes an amazing herbal remedy. Its specific benefits include:

• Curing kidney problems, and relieving fluid retention and swelling.
• Curing auto-immune disorder.
• Healing arthritis.
• Nourishing the digestive, skeletal, glandular and urinary system.
• Cleansing the blood, liver and bowel.
• Lowering cholesterol levels.
• Preventing strokes.
• Healing whooping cough.

Vegetarian Eating: Not so healthy some days

Don't get me wrong my pretties, Vegetarian Life Style has made me feel so much better. (I've also cut out all unnatural and processed foods in my diet) But Unfortunately, being a Teenage witch comes with some trials. Like...the Trial of living 'at home'. I would love more than anything than to simply have a perfect diet with a nice cozy amount of everything and feel wonderful all the time and maintaining that perfect weight (hey, a girl can dream can't she?). However, much to my dismay, the rest of my family that I live with isn't so keen of jumping on the band wagon to a healthy, and green way of life. My house is over flowing with unhealthy junk food, processed food, MSG, and an absolute lack of a completion of essentials my diet/life style choice requires. I take a multi-vitamin every night and try my best to avoid the temptation of my grandmothers poorly hidden stash of Three Musketeers Bars and the other various assorted comfort foods and synthetic poisons.

So, what is a Girl suppose to do?
She (and like the good little Pisces I am) makes the best of the situation and Looks forward to the day the river stops bending and there is a stretch of water that she is free to gracefully swim (until the next bend mind you..also, I now have "Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas stuck in my head)

Let me share some of my tricks to trying your best to maintain a healthy diet while being able to fit in the confines of some of life's restrictions.

• Exercise daily.
  

This is one of the things that I notice almost NO one does regularly enough, but is vital in maintaining a healthy body, even I am guilty. A ten minute walk a day is all it takes to be able to maintain your body's stamina. It's good for the heart, and helps to ground a center. Exercise releases endorphins and If you're walking alone you can use this as quality time to commune with the Earth Goddess.

• Eat Protein

Every day, I eat two eggs. Most vegetarians would scoff at this but then...most vegetarians aren't in a confined situation like mine (stubborn Irish blooded relatives) Protein is wonderful, it helps curb hunger so that you can eat less and help to maintain that girlish figure, and for the men readers, it helps to build muscle.

• Eat Proper Portions

They say a proper portion is about the size of your fist. And, you should prolly eat a Balance of one portion per-food-choice depending on what your weight requirements are per day. As an Example I weigh 115-130 and I need about 75 grams of Protein per day (average vegetarian foods may only contain 8-10g of protein per serving..meaning I have to eat more). You can easily find out all your nutritional needs and requirements per weight by doing a simple Google search.

• Eat as many Natural Low Fat products as you can

For example, All Natural Low in Fat Vanilla Yogurt. No added anything, while still being great tasting and healthy. You can add bits of fruits and get a healthy serving of fruits into your snacks as well!

• Instead of Junk food Eat Fruits and Vegetables
  

Don't get me wrong, every now and then a little comfort or secret pleasure is completely acceptable. DON'T deny yourself your favorite junk food...and if that so happens to be a high fructose laced dipped in sugar filled with caramel desire (Twix Bars >.>) than so be it. Denying yourself something you love...just makes eating healthier harder for everyone. Because, the more appealing it becomes over time..and the more you'll feel bad (and prolly eat more) once you finally cave in. Simple Moderation is all I'm suggesting.

As you can see being a Witch involves a Lot more than the spells and charms. In my personal opinion, I think that being healthy is a Vital part of the craft. Respect your OWN personal Divinity by treating yourself the best you can. Balance of the Mind, the Body, and the spirit is an important part of witchcraft. But I feel like in so many cases, "the Body" aspect of that trinity is allowed to slip threw the cracks.

Blessed be,
Fae

Herb of the Week: Dandelion

If you look at my expansion of links and pages to the left you will see I added something particularly Interesting and Noteworthy. I've Decided to post a "Herb of the Week" Section. This Section will post one Beneficial Herb a week (unless I change it to Daily) And A Link to A web page with the Holistic Value of the Herb. Every time I update the Herb, I will also post a Corresponding Entry

This Week, Dandelion More than just a Weed. The Following Information comes from this site here

Dandelion

The humble little Dandelion has remarkable nutritional value, being very high in vitamins A and C, with more beta carotine than carrots and more potassium than broccoli or spinach, not to mention healthy doses of iron and copper for good measure. Medicinally, Dandelions are considered very safe and effective as a general tonic that helps strengthen the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, stomach, and intestines, improving bile flow and reducing inflammation in cases of hepatitis and cirrhosis. Dandelions also help to dissipate gallstones and are believed to improve kidney function, thereby improving overall health and clearing skin problems.

Dandelion tea is the perfect choice for those with the above problems or those who lead relatively sedentary lifestyles and who experience discomfort associated with this, such as constipation, digestive disorders, indigestion, and general sluggishness and fatigue. Just one cup per day will yield noticeable results within the first few months. Tea may also be of benefit for many of the problems associated with diabetes and low blood sugar.

Externally, the white sap from the stems or roots can be applied directly to ease the pain of sores and bee stings, and is useful in the elimination of warts, acne, and calluses.

And THAT is Truly Magickal.

Every time you deposit money into it say this handy little Charm as you do to spread your desire for a better home with Light and to remind yourself that each time you do, you're getting closer to a home you are happier with.

Ostara Spell Work

Ostara is a prime time to work on setting goals for yourself that progress and increase over time. Ostara marks when the sun is in one degree Aries, prime for using force and intention to actually make solid goals and plans. Ostara is a ceremony celebrating the rebirth of the world from it's winter-depths and being filled with the vibrant new youthful energy. Let's use Ostara as a chance to work on short-to-long term goals. For this spell, you will need White Candles or Pastel Greens and Pinks; A list of goals that start of small, but each goal allows you to then set a larger goal (i.e Start a diet, loose 5 pounds, loose 10, loose 20, Fit into that small black dress!)

This spell is best done in the early dawn hours, preferably sunrise. But it can be done at any time during the day. Take your candle(s) and your list out to a cozy corner of your garden or at the base of a good strong and old tree. Dig a little hole (with your hands or small hand shovel if you can't get your nails dirty!!) Light the candle and read aloud the following spell:

"I plant the seeds,
to which will grow
and by Fall I shall
Be ready to then Sow.

Strong or weak,
my fragile dreams,
are warmed in earth,
and kissed by sun beams

I plant and ask for the best,
so when autumn is hottest
all my goals to be
ready for harvest!"

Read your list of goals

Blow out the candle and make sure the wick is cool. Rap the list around the candle and bury them both. Try to remember to water them with love and light every chance you get! When autumn has come, and if you've completed the list remove the parcel from it's hole and reap the rewards of what you grew for yourself!

Blessed Be,
Faewynn

A quick look at Ostara!

According to Pagan Lore, Ostara is the Festival of Rebirth. Celebrated when the sun is in 1 Degree Aries, usually occuring someitme around the 21st of the March (this year it's the 20th). Following in the traditional cycle of Life, Death, and Rebirth; Ostara is celebrated as the time when The Goddess (Mother Earth) is Reborn, and is the youthful and innocent Maiden aspect. She falls meets with her Lover, The God (Father Sky). This is where the idea that Spring is the season of love comes from. Traditional Pagans celebrate Ostara by sowing the seeds they will harvest at the later equinox in fall. This can be done Literally (gardening) or metaphorically (setting personal goals for yourself to be completed by Fall). The Following is an excert from a site that explains the details of Ostara:




"Ostara is also another name for Easter the Pagan Goddess of Spring. Yes that's right the Christian holiday remembering the day Jesus assended to heaven after being crucified still today bears the name of a pagan fertility goddess. Many of the Christian holidays fall on or very near to the old Pagan celebrations mainly because the Pagan people were so unwilling to relinquish their own festivals. Failing to totally wipe out the Pagan traditions the Church simply began to give different Christian meanings to the Pagan ritual days. Why Easter still retained it's name is unknown (at least to me anyway) but I can tell you what the deal is with the colored eggs and the chocolate bunnies.

The egg is a symbol of new life about to be manifest. The tradition of painting Easter eggs began as a way of manifesting wishes. A single fertile egg was taken from a nest and painted with a representation of a wish one wanted to manifest be it for prosperity, a good harvest, new love, or such. It was then hidden or buried in the ground the idea that the life of the unhatched chick would be transferred to the wish that was painted on the shell. Since then this practice has now been abandoned and transferred to hard boiled eggs which are then eaten. The Easter bunny refers to the March Hare which is also the symbol of the spring time Goddess. For in March the grass is not yet tall enough to conceal the hare's "boxing matches" for a mate. We are witness to their mating ritual and so enhances the fertility aspect of the season. In addition the Goddess is also associated with the moon and so is the hare for while we now see the image of a man's face in the shadows of the moon our ancient ancestors saw the image of running hare."

February: Snow Moon Purification Spell

~ Astrological Moon Placements for February 28 2010: Moon in Virgo; Sun in Pisces (Change Herbal Correspondences based on moon/sun positions)



February is the time of loving the self, accepting responsibility for past errors, forgiving yourself
and making future plans. All this Time Spring Energy is bubbling just beneath the surface. A perfect time for Purification, growth and healing.

~Supplies~
-Garlic (for Virgo/Earth)
-Thyme (for Pieces/Water)
-Full Moon Candle



With all the snow on the ground in most places in the northern hemisphere we find ourselves surrounded by the cleansing color of white. The Snow Moon is aptly named because in the Northern Hemisphere February is when the last bouts of natures winter pour out. Thing of it like this: Nature is letting out all her negativity repairing for rebirth in the spring. (Which is what we asked her to do during Imbolc!)

Coming to this realization gives us the chance to do the same.

Gather up all the supplies, chop the Garlic and Thyme (or appropriate Herbs) and spread around the base of the Full Moon Candle. Prepare for Spell Work.

Ground, Center, Connect,
Cast a Circle, and Call the Elements

X Remember X

You may perform this as part of an Esbat Ritual or separately if desired.

Invoke the goddess as Follows

"Lady Mother, I harken you near
Once more, your loving pressence draw here
Snow Moon Above, and I below
I Invite you in my circle, to grow!"

Once established, you may want to sit and meditate while visualizing the Goddess Energy grow and run threw your circle yourself. Open up, and allow the healing to take place. Light the Moon Candle if you haven't already and allow it's energy to pull on the energy of the herbs creating a single energy. Then, allow that energy to flow to you, while saying:

" By all the power of thee snow moon
all for release and healing of my wombs
To melt my so, so I may grow
whilst spring near, and the Sun follow

I know the sun will shine again,
with warmth of love that will begin
to heal the scars of my heart
as winter now does depart

Full Snow Moon thou Shines above
All for the flowing of perfect love
to reinstate my trust in me
and by the goddess, blessed be."



Allow for the candle to burn down to the next notch. You may want to save the herbs for similar spell later on. =]


Complete any other spellwork/esbat

Thank the Elements, Open Circle, Ground and Center.


Blessed Be,
Faewynn.

Mondays Blesings

Monday is ruled by the Moon. Monday is the day primary to Female energy. Use some of the energy to promote Balance and Healing. And who doesn't wake up Monday morning feeling we could use some of that? White and Silver candles can be used to invoke the Moons Power.


"Moon above, and I below,
I invoke your healing Flow
comfort me and bring relief,
so I may be free from grief.

Promote your balance,
and summon up my Talents
to last all week long,
So I may feel like I belong.

My week has now start
so fill this witches heart
with love and good thought-
from you, this I wrought"

Blessed Be,
Faewynn

Sundys Blessings

Sunday is ruled by the Sun (imagine that). Use the Masculine energy of Fire to empower and energize yourself. Light Orange, Yellow, and/or Gold candles to bring the suns energy into your home.

"Fire burning, Sun so bright,
Bring your glory into my life!
Fill within me, Your Golden Success
For I know I am the best!

Spark in me, Creative Light
Fuel desire I know is right.
Empower myself to make it so
and give me strength to simply know!

Fire burning, Sun So bright,
bring your glory into my life
By all the power of Three Times Three
as I will, So mote it be!"


Regular Exercise, and a healthy Diet will also be a fantastic way to maintain energy!

Blessed be,
Faewynn

Saturday's Blessings

Saturday is ruled by Saturn ans is a good day to work magick of Self-Responsibility and Self-Control. Since sometimes we allow for our weekends to be more about relaxing we tend to forget some of our responsibilities. So, we're going to do an affirmation to help us remind us that even though it's the weekend, we still are in control!You may want to light Dark Blue Candles and light Myrrh incense while saying this Affirmation.


"Saturn, O' Ruler of Discipline and Self
Bring unto your magickal Wealth
Aliven my Soul
awaken Self-Control
As I rest from my week
this abundance I know seek
Don't let me forget Responsibility,
As I will, So shall this be."

If you have the habit of forgetting that you're suppose to do things, try also writing them down in a notebook.

Blessed Be,
Faewynn

Friday Blessings

~Friday's Blessings~

Friday is a good day for expression of Love, beauty and happiness. It's ruling deity is the Goddess of Love Venus. If you would like, you may like to light Pink Pastel candles and invite her presence into you home. You can use the following spell as a Friday Blessing and Affirmation.


"Goddess of Love,
Friday has come!
The weekend is here
I draw your presence near!!

Your beauty is within,
but also without!
All Forms of love
Is what you're about

I face this day with
my own beauty and grace
and honor you this way
with a smile on my face!"

For an extra nice touch, you may buy fresh pastel color flowers on this day to decorate your house, but also buy a bundle for Venus and either leave them on your altar or throw them into the nearest source of running water that goes to a lake or ocean!

Blessed Be
Fae

A Cleanseing Shower Ritual

A Cleansing Shower Ritual

For this spell you will need Shampoo with Rosemary and Mint. Currently suave makes a fantastic shampoo with such, however if you can not find it you can use plain shampoo and grind up the herb and add it yourself.

Also you will be using your bathroom as a sacred space so make sure it is clean and tidy.

Ground, center, and prepare for spell work in your normal fashion except methods that will be interfered by washing (i.e anointing with oils) You may also use this as a Pre-Normal Spell work also. Most sources recommend Ritual Baths but, sometimes, baths may not be an option.

~Best Times to Perform~
Waning Moon
Or Prior Spellwork

~Supplies~
Rosemary & Mint Shampoo/Body wash
A Razor to shave
Facewash
Toothbrush and Toothpaste
and a brand new white votive candle


Make sure you choose a time where you won't be interrupted, and use a fresh towel for this as well.

Start off by casting a circle, and calling the elements. Light a white candle and place it towards the north.

Stand in front of it raise your arms and Invoke the Goddess as follows:

"Mother goddess please come to this place
fill this room with your loving grace
this child of yours now calls you near
of this I pray you do hear
I invoke your Divine powers within and
through out me,
If you do so will, than so shall it be!"

Once that has been established you may want to sit and meditate with her for a while. Ask for renewal and her aid in your cleansing.

If you haven't done so, get undress and then put yourself where you can turn on the the water while still staying dry (if possible) while you're turning on the water and getting it to the proper temperature say the following while envisioning the water coming from the faucet sparkling:

"O, healing water I call you here
of all your magick I do hold dear!
Cleanse my spirit and cleanse this place
renew my body and renew my face
return into me,
all that is purity,
and in your light, return all that is right!

All earth and air and fire see
As I will so shall it be!
Healing waters come to me!"

Now step into the water and feel its revitalizeing warmth spread over your body. You can clean in any way you wish, but here are a few charms to say while you clean certain parts. Say each charm repeatedly until the washing of that area is complete

~Hair and Body~
"As the Scent, of rosemary and mint
fills the air it wafts away all my cares
freeing my mind for better things,
removing the bad as good it brings"

~Shaving~
As I shave the bad goes down the drain
as water falls like pouring rain
I remove all stubble from my life
and make it smooth, without strife"

~Face~
"I cleanse away all the grease and gook
as I was now every nook
I clean the slate from which I look
to never judge a cover of a book"

~Teeth~
"All foul speech and lies go out
as now I move onto my mouth
to speak the truth and trust myself
and clean my teeth for better health"

NOTE! You can do your face and teeth out of the shower if you choose

Once you've been cleaned and the shower is off stand facing the north and say the closing incantation:

"This spell is now done,
Im clean and brand new
Refreshed and Revived
I know this is true.

I thank all the spirits
I know now have helped
For as I am renewed
so shall you be too!

As is above, so be below
in perfect love you may now go
In all that is harmony
so mote it be!"

Blow out the candle.

~Open the Circle, ground, center again.

Blessed be,
Breathless Moon

Cleanseing Consecrateing and Empowering

There are many ways to CCE an object. Some of the easiest and simplest methods don't require any spell work at all. Depending on the purpose of your desired empowerment (i.e protection, love, fertility, ect.) you may simply leave the object you are CCE in the Full, or Dark moon, or even out for an entire moon phase if that is an option. Take for example empowering something for the enhancement of psychic abilities. You may want to simply leave the object out during the entire waxing moon phase (from dark to full) Or take it out everynight at moonrise during that time, which ever is the most safe and easiest for you. In some cases, like for protection, you may want to take or leave the object in the moon in a bowl of salt, or in a ring of stones during the duration of the Full Moon (approx 3 days). Let's say you want to empower something for darker aspect magick, such as banishing negativity, Leave the object out during the dark moon. You get the point.


Types of Empowerment
Light Aspect Empowerment: These types of Empowerment are used to Help and heal yourselves and those around you Typically cast during the Waxing to Full Moon.
~ Love ~Harmony ~Fortune ~Joy ~ Peace ~Healing ~Luck
~Protection ~Fertility ~Courage

Dark Aspect Empowerment: This types of empowerment are used to block or repel dark or negative energies.
~"Return-Energy-To-Sender" ~Deflection (diffuse malevolence and ill will) ~Retribution (return energy to sender and seal it there)
~Purging(the complete cleansing of a person/place) ~Banishing (repelling energy)


If you find that you may need an extra kick of magickal assistance then try this simple CCE spell.

Before all spell work, ground, center, and connect to the Divine, and Cast a Circle. Try to use visualization during spell work and to keep your mind focused only on what you're doing. For any information on Grounding, Centering, Connecting or Casting a Circle you can email me. Chances are I will post how to do all of the above at a later date then this current one.

Supplies
All four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water)
If available try using Holy Water (you can email me at "Faekieran@yahoo.com" for a Holy water spell)

Best Times to Perform
As stated earlier, try to perform even this spell during the proper moon phase for the empowerment you desire. I will post a list of appropriate Moon Spell Correspondence's eventually. If not you can always email me at the aforementioned address if you have any doubts about when to perform for specific Empowerment.

Earth Religions Get a space at AF Acadamy? Or Do they??

By DeeDee Correll
February 3, 2010

Reporting from Denver - The Air Force Academy, stung several years ago by accusations of Christian bias, has built a new outdoor worship area for pagans and other practitioners of Earth-based religions.

But its opening, heralded as a sign of a more tolerant religious climate at the academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., was marred by the discovery two weeks ago of a large wooden cross placed there.

"We've been making great progress at the Air Force Academy. This is clearly a setback," said Mikey Weinstein, a 1977 graduate of the academy. He is founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and has often tangled with the academy over such issues.

Although he credits the academy's superintendent, Air Force Lt. Gen. Michael Gould, with an improved climate of religious tolerance, Weinstein criticized other academy officials as trivializing the incident, which he said was not revealed to cadets.

Rhetorically addressing academy officials, Weinstein said Tuesday, "It's been two weeks -- were you going to get around to telling them about this horrible thing that happened, and why haven't you?"

Academy spokesman John Van Winkle said officials reported the situation to those on base and issued a message reiterating the school's policy of religious tolerance and respect.

In a statement, Gould said, "We absolutely will not stand for this type of destructive behavior. I consider this no different than someone writing graffiti on the Cadet Chapel."

In 2004, an academy survey found that many cadets felt that evangelical Christians were imposing their views and harassing non-Christians at the school.

The following year, an Air Force task force determined that there was no overt discrimination but the academy had failed to accommodate the religious needs of some cadets. Since then, the academy has worked to change that, Van Winkle said.

"It boils down to the key issue of respect -- respect for everyone's right to practice their faith as they choose," he said.

Specific steps include the creation of a Cadet Interfaith Council that identifies upcoming religious holidays and helps adjust cadets' schedules to observe them.

The academy -- which also has worship areas for Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Buddhist and Jewish faiths -- already had a designated area for Wiccans, pagans and followers of similar traditions, but it was located on the north end of the 19,000-acre campus and was not easy for cadets to visit, Van Winkle said.

The new site, a collection of stones set in a circle unveiled late last year, is closer to where cadets live and train.

Modern Wicca is a reconstruction of ancient European pagan religions and is based on respect for Earth, nature and the seasons.

On the weekend of Jan. 17, Weinstein said a client of his organization who is based at the academy spotted a cross, constructed of railroad ties, propped against a rock at the center. The client reported it, and the Office of Special Investigations began an inquiry.

The dean of faculty, Brig. Gen. Dana Born, discussed the incident at a Jan. 27 staff meeting, Weinstein said.

Weinstein did not attend the meeting but said that faculty members who did described the official reaction as tepid.

One faculty member, who attended and asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter, supported Weinstein's characterization of the meeting.

The reaction would have been stronger, Weinstein said, if another worship center had been involved. Had a swastika been placed in the Jewish center, "heads would be rolling," he said.

Van Winkle said he saw video of Born's address: "She downplayed nothing. She addressed the expectations, the issue and moved on."

Imbolc: Simple Candle and Clean Ritual

Stories From A Witches cabinet

Imbolc: Sabbat

Imbolc is one of the Sabbat's of Fire, Light, and Purification. Witches cast light spells to purify the winter to make ready for spring. Imbolc is particularly sacred to the Goddess Brigid, the Gaelic deity of Poetry, healing and Smithcrafting, and Imbolc is celebrated in her honor to cast out the bleakness of winter and try and usher in new life and growth for Spring.

Witches honor Brigid by using today to clean their homes, both physically and spiritually, and is their day for Spring Cleaning

Traditionally Witches light candles and say a small charm while both cleaning and purifying their homes.

Here is a small Imbolc spell to cast out your own winter blues:


Supplies
~Candles, and a lot of them. At the LEAST enough for two in each room of your house (and if you can't do that, enough to illuminate the rooms you spend the most time in)
~Something to carve your candles, a Knife or Letter Opener will do perfectly.

On all of your candles scribe whatever symbols remind you of spring. You may carve flowers, suns, hearts ect ect In the morning hours light them and say:



"May the Faerys now come
and awaken the Sun
and with them to bring
the great season spring.

The flowers shall bloom
and burn away gloom
as witches do clean
and honor Brigid as Queen,

Bleak winter darkness
I will not miss thiss
as I cast away blackness
into abyss."

Remember to clean your house physically and spiritually, leave offerings around trees and gardens on your property to attract Faery's. Rescribe and replace your candles as they burn out threw out the day for as long as you clean!

Blessed Be,

Wolf Moon Longing Spell

Spell: January's Moon - The Wolf Moon Longing Spell


January's moon is called the wolf moon. It was so aptly named by the Native Americans by observing Wolfs in January. They say that in January wolves howl ever so longingly at the wolf moon to feed their hungry bellies. So, let's use January's moon to fill the emptiness in our own proverbial bellies (or, perhaps even our real ones!).


Best time to perform: Waxing Moon or Full moon in January.

Supplies: A brand new pillar candle
The Ace of Coins from Tarot, The Ace of Cups from Tarot
If you can't get tarot cards, A chalice filled with blessed water and a 50 cent piece will work also.
Oregano (herb)
Peppermint (herb)
Cinnamon (herb)
Rosemary (herb)
(don't forget to charge your herbs!)

Gather all materials, and try and aquire a picture of a wolf howling at the moon. Once your altar is set up, and decorated accordingly prepare in your normal fashion to do spell work. If you're doing it on the Full Moon, you may or may not want to also do an Esbat.

Prepare Space, Ground & Center & Connect, Cast a Circle and Call the Corners

Lay the picture of the wolf behind the candle, the tarot cards (or items) on either side of the candle, and scatter the herbs at the base of the candle. Light the Candle and meditate on the things you long for in your life that will make it better.

Once you spend some time on that, Invoke the deity(s) of your choosing.

Ring a Bell three times or Clap three times and state loudly your intent on starting spell work. Once this is established raise your arms to the moon and say aloud:


" Longings from deep inside my Bones,
I know howl in magick tones
By the light of this Wolf Moon
and the Magick of this Witches Tune,
Bring Fulfillment of these desires
I Wrought,
And harm none thee
shall Not!"

Close your eyes and concentrate on your desires again. Say the following in a clear, concise, and affirmative tone:

"Bless me and my hearth and home,
Help me to be less alone,
Bring to me positive thoughts,
and let me overcome Road Blocks
Help all to see my inner beauty
& give me the strength to do my duty.
Allow great Family Unity,
and from sickness, Immunity
By lord and lady above,
Grant me these things
In perfect trust & perfect love"

Note!!!!!!: You may replace this list of desires with your own, but try to keep them in rhyme and in the same tone

Mark the pillar candle with 12 notches and burn the candle down to the first notch, you will use this candle for the other moons (except the Blue Moon) =]


~Blessed Be,

Midwinter Stew

Midwinter Bleak Stew


Ignore the name! It's to CURE the bleakness of midwinter. =]

You will need:
1 can of Vegetable Stock (or make your own about 2 or 3 cups)
1 medium to large soup pot
2 medium carrots
3 small yams
1 large onion
3 small potatos
1 large turnip
1 can of pumpkin (or approx. 16 ounces of squished pumpkin)
Bay Leaves, Ginger, Cloves, Parsley,
a small amount of hot sauce
a small amount of Worcestershire sauce

Pour the Vegetable Stock in the pot, with about a cup and a half of water, dice the carrots, yam, potatoes and turnip and add in. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil for 30 minutes and add the pumpkin, let the soup come to a boil again and Season with herbs in the amount you find tasteful. Add hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Saute the onions and serve as a garnish.

After you pour the pumpkin in, say as you stir:
"In this pot, I marry the earth,
I pray to the gods for a loving rebirth"

History Lesson: This stew is famous in Celtic Europe. During winter they would gather the materials they had left from the Autumn harvest and make a stew. Since it was the middle of winter and meat was scarce or frail and poorly kept eating it wasn't an option until they were stronger in the spring. They used mainly vegetables that were roots and kept well. (potatoes, onions, yams) It was great to make and keep your body warm and full.

Blessed be,
Fae

It has been exactly one week sense New Years. And already you find that your New Years Resolutions are falling a little flat? You find your schedule doesn't allow you to keep the promises you made, or you find your resolve faltering. Frustrating, I'm sure. Well, the easiest way to keep those new years resolutions is this, Reaffirmation. The power that we all feel even if subconsciously of New Years has started to fade as we settle in our way another year around the sun. Reaffirmation is simple enough to do. Gather up something red, and the picture of the Leaning Tower of Piza, or the Tower from Tarot. Sit in a quiet place and set up the photo on top of the red cloth. Breath and try to clear your mind, and once you get to a place where your are quiet minded Visualize yourself on the top of that Tower Now say, loudly and in a demanding voice " I will Do these things" and name off your list of resolutions. Keep saying it, and everytime visualize the tower getting less chaotic, and not as tilted. Once the tower is straight and calm, say what you want to do in a voice that let's the heavens know you mean business.

However, if like so many you find that your resolutions are not only loosing resolve, but you simply don't have the time and energy to keep up with them? Everything is moving to quickly, or you feel overloaded and frustrated. It may be that you have lost your own balance. The Libra Moon is great for working magick to stabilize your life. This simple spell will help you to recover that.
First of, make sure the room or area you are doing the spell is free of clutter and isn't a place that a lot of people come and go in bad moods. And working with balance is going to take much more than just the spell; Make sure the things you want balanced are clearly written on a piece of paper. Buy an organizer or journal (you can even use your phone if it has that option) to keep track of everything that goes on with your life and keep this paper in there (or copy/take a picture on your phone) once you have done the spell. Place One Black Candle and One White Candle on the paper equal distance from each other and the edges of the paper. Light the Candles and say:

"Oh Goddess Ma'at, hear my Prayer
Bring on your wings of air into
this home Harmony and Balance to Spare.
Show me how to make my life be stable,
of this I know I am able.
By the light of these flames and
by the will of me, So Shall this Be!"

Blow out the candles and in the smoke wave your new planer/organizer/journal/phone in it.

Your's truly

A day in the Life of..yours truly.
A little bit about the face behind the Conical Hat.

Pouring your heart and soul out over the internet for all to read? Why not.
Well, To start, my name is Fae Kieran. Im 18 and have been practicing witch since I was 13. Most of my learning comes from myself and things that I've discovered a sort of trial and error. Although the Faery blood runs threw my families veins (as is apparent by our perpetual skinnyness, slightly pointed ears, red curly hair, and fantastic intuition) Most of my family has all but abandoned that part of themselves. Some Modern Traditionalist (think about that paradox for a bit) Would argue that I am now way a traditional Witch as I haven't been through an "initiation" overlooked by a High Priest or Priestess, I'm not part of a coven and have no ties with the family Clan. Well I can tell them to shove it. =D I know the Goddess and God love me and I know I love them, so I could care less what they think.
Im mostly a free spirit, I hate to be tied down, in one place for more than one amount of time. I spend more time outside alone, or on the computer talking to extended family and friends than I do my intermediate family because my intermediate family is slightly less than dysfunctional. However, I have found the necessary family love from the aforementioned places. I have spent the last year burning unnecessary bridges and carving my own life. And though it is unfortunate that I had to loose so many people I once cared about I have found so much more walking down my own path.
While I someday would like to be with a man who can accept me, take care of me, and Love me truly, I believe that at the moment I have other things that need to be done and other people who need taking care of. I also believe that everything happens for a reason, and I believe in fairys, enchanted forests, and a whole bunch of other things any normal person would mistake for children's believe. I live in a world filled with wonderful things, as fantastical they may seem. I understand however, that this is not the reality that society has built for it's own comfort and can distinguish between my world and theirs. People perceive things in the way that makes them feel safe.
Just like Witchcraft. The word witch is such a powerful word and can evoke emotions itself without any help from charms or spells. While most people perceive it as Fantasy, others still think of it as a very real dangers, and others it is a way of light and love. However you feel about the subject it is simply something that is highly misunderstood and surrounded by so much mystery and superstition as Im sure one day this time era will also be thought of. "What..Books that you actually have to turn the pages and read yourself? Impossible."
Not only am I a Witch, but I'm also an empath. Empathy is simply the ability to feel and understand what other people are feeling. Weither or not this is the next stage of human evolution, a psychic gift, or simply something that comes with being from a deep understanding of the human experience, that is not for me, you, or any other empath to decide. But for everyone individually to find the reason that is their own.
I am wiser than my years should allow and smarter in a way that matters more than anyone who's graduated Harvard. I do not think of myself as better or lesser than anyone, nor do I think that anyone's thinking of me, my believes, their own believes are wrong or right. We were given the gift of free choice, and no one should think that their way of thinking is the only way. I try to walk with light in my heart, and like anybody, that light sometimes fades. However, I will always be there for those who need it most.
Recently, I've come to a great change in mylife, where I try not to let myself falter and miss the bigger picture. I choose not to worry or to attach my self to anybody emotionally. For the simple reason that, I know that I am needed elsewhere in the world to help it and to be a light for those who have lost their own lights. I have faith that the race of men are not doomed to eternal damnation and this world of pain, and I plan to help them get their. I know that I have a full life ahead of me, and I should live it to the fullest, let go of the past, move on and enjoy myself. Like the proper faery blood in me suggests I do. =D

Communication

Communication
Quick spell Correspondences
Deity: Mercury
Color: Orange
Best times to perform: Waxing Moon
Number: 5
Element/Direction: Air/East


Today is Wednesday, which is traditionally ruled over by Mercury the God of Communication. So, lets talk about Communication.

Communication is more than just talking. It is every interaction we make with another human being. From smiles, waves, and Nods; to in depth conversations and connection on a deeper more personal level. However, in some case's especially those times when Mercury is in retrograde, and waning moons all forms of communication can fall flat (which we are experiencing both of those currently). So, I figured I'd help pass along some Witch-y Knowledge. When you feel communication is lax, Light an Orange Candle on Wednesdays, and perhaps invite Mercury's pressence into your home. A simple herbal mixture of Eybright, Parsley, Citronella and Peppermint is good for promoting Communication.

On days that you find that Communication is especially broken try this simple spell,

Light and Orange Candle and say 3 times

Clever Mercury is the Roman
fleet -footed god,

Bring clear Communication
as into my life you trod.

In this (current Moon Phase) let's
banish troubles far away,

Misunderstandings are gone,
only Harmony will stay.

By all the power of three
times three,

As I will it, then so shall it be!

-Ellen Dugan

We all could use better communication in our lives, so hopefully this will bring some light into yours. Proper communication is good for family unity, helps with relationships at home, work, and socially. You can use communication correspondences along with courage correspondence when you looking to talk to a potential partner so not only will you have courage you also don't say anything silly and embarrassing. Good Luck!

Blessed Be
Fae Kieran
