Re: My First Altar! =)

Very pretty! It's only going overboard if YOU feel it's crowded. I think it looks lovely.

Re: The moon phases/hand gestures

Reading the moon from left to right, waxing is when it is getting smaller. Think of a candle and how it gets smaller (candle wax).
If the moon is getting bigger, it is waning.
Actually, it is the reverse of this.

Re: The moon phases/hand gestures

I'm pretty sure that no one has any idea what you're talking about when you ask about these "gestures." Do you have any more details, or context, that could help us figure out what you mean?

Re: about wicca and witchcraft

Witchcraft has been around a lot longer than Christianity, and there are MANY different types and traditions of witchcraft. Wicca, while the name comes from an old word for witches, is NOT older than Christianity. It is indeed a new religion invented by Gerald Gardner. Many but not all Wiccans pract...

Re: What to do next?

If you liked Cunningham's Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner, then I highly recommend his Living Wicca: A Further Guide for the Solitary Practitioner. It is written in the same "guide not instructions" manner, and answers many of the questions you've been asking on this board.

Re: I want to set up my altar

Your altar should be whatever you want it to be. If you want to burn incense, do so; if not, don't. If you have found rocks and stones that resonate with you, feel free to place them on your altar. Your altar is a physical manifestation of your personal worship practice. If it's special to you, if Y...

Re: Followers of Loki?

My ex-boyfriend is a Lokean... I wouldn't say I am, but I do follow his daughter Hel and his blood-brother Odin, and I'm never certain how I feel about Loki post-Baldr... I see no problem with worshipping Loki, but there are some Asatruar/Norse Pagans who would kick you out of circle for even breath...

Re: Vervain's Journey

11.9.2013 Today I entered my world by boat, the way I usually exit. In the cave, there were glowing pictures on the wall, glowing green, triangles, the deathly hallows symbol, squiggly lines... writing? I couldn't read if so. Also there were some of the magic glowing flowers, but not in stalks, grow...

11.7.2013 [I apologize for the writing style here: I didn't create a written journal entry for this meditation, this is directly from my spoken recording that I took immediately after returning from the castle, so that is why it is very free-flowing and has a lot of run-on sentences and things.] Aga...

Re: Vervain's Journey

11.7.2013 I noticed also that when I went yesterday, although physical me was not wearing my star dress, Spirit me definitely still was. Perhaps that is just what I wear, there? Although, I did have the gown on for the dancing... 11.7.2013 Today I want to go back, and I just want to sit in the garde...

Re: Vervain's Journey

11.6.2013 Another Meditation I went back today. Out the right window there was a lot of fog like I wasn't supposed to see beyond it yet. The rug is green and kind of brown, and has some white and black in it. The mantle is dark marble or granite with a white runner on top, and there was a sword and ...

Re: Iced Honey Milk

This sounds delicious, thanks for posting. I may have to try a version with a milk substitute, because my boyfriend's deathly allergic to milk... or maybe I'll find someone else to share it with. Sounds delicious, though, would be wonderful for a cakes and ale ceremony.

Re: Vervain's Journey

-BEGIN MEDITATIONS- 11.6.2013 I recorded this on audio last night right after it happened, and that will always be the most accurate record of my experience, but because this little book seems to have held all my dealings with Odin so far, I wanted to have a copy of my experience here as well. I did...
