Re: Threshold Magic

Every new experience, every step in a spiritual existence is crossing a threshold. Standing at the threshold is the resting place, the pregnant pause, of any active and open spiritual seeker. Humans are creatures of the threshold. Crossing new thresholds: we change the world; the world changes and w...

Re: Imbolc 2023

Hope you all had a blessed Imbolg. ----- Is the temple ancient? Are the fires unlit? A barren womb, forgotten and dust? Was the caretaker worn and addled by life, did he lose the key held in his trust? Throw open the shutters, Throw open the door, Fetch the brooms, In a joy, not in chore, To dust an...

Re: Paganism in Roman Britain video/lecture.

A really interesting lecture Nerys from a very erudite pagan👍

His mention about rural pilgrimage temples in England peaked my interest and led me to this site:

Re: Is helping required by the Rede

I have seen people harm their own lives through compassion for others, I have seen others harm their own lives due to their inability or desire to recieve the compassion from others. I neglected to ammend that to ' their inability to recieve compassion from others or indeed themselves'. I have been...

Re: Is helping required by the Rede

IMO If the question is helping required by the rede then the answer is no, it is not, nothing is required while showing consideration in all weighty matters is advised . Showing consideration to others is always advisable don't you think? ----- I have seen people harm their own lives through compass...

Re: Is helping required by the Rede

A rede is advice not any kind of rule, instruction or law. If you want to do something or live your life in a certain way and it harms nobody, do it, free of shame or guilt. However if it would harm, think about it deeply before you proceed. If it harms none do what you will, if it harms, do what yo...

Re: how you open your third eye

It's only truely happened to me once (triggered during a vivid trance - which I documented) and one thing I observed was that it was preceeded by a period of what could be called 'a state of grace'. I had problems approaching on the horizon yet they were like fluid; they had no weight, almost no 're...

Samhain is a time for Storytelling? Summers End (Written 30/10/2016) Jenny sat below the shadows of the old bluff, beyond the scrub, lying hidden by the dunes and settled in, mutely watching Lily; watching the sea. It was a warm night with the gentlest of breezes and the common coastal fog, usually ...

Re: Candle Help

Picked up Bucklands book of Practical Candleburning rituals ... then set it aside again.. Having seen so many stock coorespondances over the years, often without any attached rationale (even flimsy ones) explaining the choices made, I would suggest making a study into magic and Colour Psychology (so...

Re: Candle Help

I love color charts. Lovely examples of intuitive thinking often refered to as 'child mind logic' - which is not derogatory at all and within intuitive practice high praise - children are an intuitive powerhouse of 'belief' ❤ Alternative Elemental colors (from the artists palette of coorespondences)...

Re: Older pagans.

Creaking Trees A crone, twisted and old, contorted by pain; a visitor in the fall, without mercy, without fail, as the year declines, as the weather turns and the sunlight wanes, to the years dismay. Decrepit & bent, present; a dull hammer, a buckled knife, a blunt chisel, insistent, tenacious,...

Re: Why is there evil in the world?

(Personal opinions only) AND DEATH SAID: Show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy? Paganism does not generally deal in defining absolutes but in recognising equilibrium, as a belief that follows nature and it's cycles, its ebbs and its flows. That said, in mysticism, one of the first pract...
