Scrying

Picture
One of my first experiences with scrying took place at a ritual held at a sacred site in the Ozark's of Missouri. We shifted consciousness to the rhythm of a drum while gazing deeply into the shining skin of an apple. What I found were answers to questions asked by the moonlight in the Grove that night. 

Scrying has since been a practice I continue to use. It helps to see what may be in darkness or reflect truth back in the light. I have an obsidian scrying mirror that I use on a regular basis.

As Mabon approaches, I use an apple. Mabon is a special time as it is when I dedicated myself to this path. It is the celebration of the harvest and a time when trees are laden with apples. After I am granted my answers, I bless and thank all who aided me and eat the apple.

So I share with you a simple spell: 
Find a reflective surface (even the face of a mobile will work)
Light a candle
Sit or stand in a comfortable position
Close your eyes, take three deep belly breaths. Dance, chant/sing, move, breathe to move into a meditative or trance state
Say the following:
By the light of the soaring moon 
Grant to me this simple boon 

Show me all above and below
Tell me now what I must know....
Open your eyes and gaze into the reflective surface.
Once you have an answer, bless and thank the information and informant/s

Extinguish the candle or let it burn out. 
Blessed Be your work

Mainstream Mystic

Picture
Picture
I love seeing Tarot and Mysticism creep into mainstream culture. I know a lot of people who would say this is a "watering down" of the esoteric.  

One could argue that the capitalisation of the spiritual creates a conflict but I think it acts as bridge. There are many who are intimidated by the deeper practices such as the Occult. Fear often breeds contempt and leads to misrepresentation of the practises and tools.

I think when a labels like Alice + Olivia feature something like the Tarot in next seasons line, something beautiful starts to happen. It is almost like people are given permission to accept things that may have been outside their sphere. It makes having a Tarot reading On Trend. I see only a win win here with the thought of people gaining a bit of spiritual direction, Perhaps they might even buy a deck and try to learn.

There is a new wave of spirituality they are calling Mysticore. it s a hybrid of New Age and Occult with a dash of your favourite teen witch. I think it shows an awakening and gravitation towards the spiritual. Souls are seeking as we are all being called to do the bigger work in this world. If your entry point to a deeper spiritual life comes on the wings of couture the so be it. And besides.....I'm totally coveting that bag.

Rite of Release

Picture
I am a HUGE animal lover. One thing I find really challenging is seeing and animal who has been killed by a car. 

I could never look as it broke my heart. I felt the ache and loss of such a beautiful creature to speeding metal. It made me feel helpless. 

I came across this rite about 15 years ago and it has served me and all those bright souls well:


I picture the animal whole and happy while saying:
Small friend,
In the name of the Gracious Lady
I bid you to forget your broken shell
It can serve you no longer
I bid you in the Name of the Patroness of things wild and free, 
To go beyond....
To rest, to enjoy the Summerland
Blessed Be small friend and farewell

Al Fresco

I'm spending as much time outside as possible before the cold weather arrives.
There is something so wonderful about dinning outside.

Moving the indoor furniture out into the garden.
