Abundance Ritual

Abundance Ritual Cover

* 1 small crystal quartz
* 5 small garnets
* sea salt
* Pouch
* Paper

The Earth is full of abundance and vitality. You can tap into this abundance for yourself. You can have abundance and prosperity and love. You should have all the good things life has to offer. The best things in life are often very simple to get.

Make a list of 5 things that would improve your life. The list can include small changes to very large changes.

Put the 5 garnets and 1 quartz crystal in the pouch along with the list of changes for your life. Sprinkle 3 pinches of sea salt into the pouch. Carry the pouch with you for 3 days. During the 3 days think of what you have written on the list.

On the 4th day take 1 garnet out of the pouch and give it to someone you like. Tell that person "I have a lucky stone for you. Good luck!"

Keep the pouch with the list, 1 garnet and 1 crystal quartz and the salt until all the changes occur. Then bury the remaining garnet and keep the crystal quartz as your "lucky stone".

Good Luck!

Saturnalia Practices And Rituals

Saturnalia Practices And Rituals Cover
Saturnalia falls at the time when non-Romans are celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Solstice and/or Kwanzaa. In Nova Roma, individual Citizens have chosen different approaches to the challenge of celebrating in the spirit of Rome without cutting themselves off from the culture in which they live.

For a compilation of Saturnalia celebrations reported by Nova Romans, visit Saturnalia practices of Nova Romans. For a detailed historically acurate ritual visit Saturnalia - A Winter Solstice Ritual.

HERE'S SOME HISTORY:


Saturnalia festivities began with ritual and sacrifices in the Temple of Saturn. The statue of the god was hollow and filled with olive oil, as a symbol of his agricultural functions. His feet were bound with woolen strips, that were unbound at Saturnalia.

After the rituals, the Senators (who had to be present) dismissed the crowd with the cry of "Io, Saturnalia!" , a sign for the happy festivities of family parties and other private gatherings to begin. The traditional gifts were wax tapers and little dolls, although gifts of silver later became traditional.

The custom of the Lord of Misrule was appropriated and survived through to English Christmas traditions.

Many of the decorations involved greenery - swathes, garlands, wreaths, etc - being hung over doorways and windows, and ornamenting stairs. Ornaments in the trees included sun symbols, stars, and faces of the God Janus. Trees were not brought indoors (the Germans started that tradition), but decorated where they grew.

Food was also a primary decoration - gilded cakes in a variety of shapes were quite popular, and children and birds vied for the privilege of denuding the trees of their treats. The commonest shapes were fertility symbols, suns and moons and stars, baby shapes, and herd animal shapes (although, to be honest, it's hard to tell if some of those ancient cookie cutters are supposed to be goats or deer). I would imagine coins were also a popular decoration/gift.

People were just as likely to be ornamented as the trees. Wearing greenery and jewelry of a sacred nature was apparently common, based on descriptions, drawings, and the like from the era. Although the emphasis was on Saturn, Sol Invictus got a fair share of the revelry as well.

Gold, because the sun is yellow, is always a sure choice for a good Saturnalia decoration. For modern Saturnalia, those golden glass ball ornaments are ideal, as are gold sun faces, gold stars, and gilded anythings. Gilding nuts and pine cones and nestling them among the swags and wreaths of greenery would be a lovely way of acknowledging the ancient roots of this ceremony.

Indoor trees are not ancient Roman, but if you have plants growing indoors, decorating them would certainly be in the spirit of the holidays. If you just have to have the now-traditional indoor tree, try decorating it in gold ornaments with a solar theme. Swathe it in bright red or purple ribbons (2 colors quite in favor with the Romans, and looks great with the gold ornaments). Top the tree with a sun, rather than a star, for after all, this is a solar celebration.

The biggest part of Saturnalia was attitude more than decoration. Feasting, drunkenness, merrymaking, hopefully the conception of more children (or at least enjoying those activities which led to conception!), pranks, gift giving, role reversals (not true ones, only symbolic ones - slaves weren't really free to make a freedman's decisions and anything they did or decreed would reverse at the end of Saturnalia, children weren't really adults and could not enter into any binding contracts or make business deals, etc.) and so forth.

The role reversals seemed to be more for minor privileges - slaves and children got to be waited on for meals, and to lead the rituals, and to participate in the revelry as if they were their parents/masters. The parents/masters jokingly played the part of slaves and children by waiting on them and making rude and bawdy jokes at their expense. Sometimes, it descended into cruelty.

On a modern note - wild parties with lots of food and drink is good. Letting the children of the household lead the common rituals, and waiting on them (assuming you don't do so in everyday circumstances....) at mealtimes, and deferring to them in decisions on party ideas would work for role reversals.

No children in the house? Maybe you can borrow one for a day. We don't have slaves, but, for a nice touch of role reversal, we could purchase the services of a nanny or a housekeeper for the duration of Saturnalia. It would be a role reversal of sorts, for instead of being the slave of your home, someone else would be doing the chores and cooking and childcare while you got to party down!

Dancing and singing in the streets is now frowned upon, unless you can get a parade permit. A parade, if you could organize it, would be fun. Imagine - giant floats of the Gods tended by the priests and acolytes, musicians and dancers, contortionists to amaze and delight, acrobats and jugglers, all in honor of Saturn!

The New Age Movement is to the highest degree of duplicitous and scathing philosophy at work in religion today. It is interlaced not only in witchcraft, idolatry and Satanism but it is attacking all Christian denominations. The New Age belief system is deeply rooted in Eastern religious mysticism and the paranormal. Followers are led to awaken their God Consciousness by using powerful occult techniques such as, Transcendental Meditation, Yoga, Hypnosis, Visualization, psychic phenomenon, New Thought Consciousness, divination, mind control, etc.

Hide Away Circles

Hide Away Circles Cover
In this urban day & age, as much as we would like to always hold our ceremonies outside, this just isn't possible. Weather, time of day, & living quarters all play a part in deciding where we are able to have our rites. Now days, many people (myself included) live in town in an apartment building. Both space & neighbors can be a problem in this setting. Even though the Burning Times are behind us, our religion is still not accepted by many people. For this, & many other personal reasons, some of us choose to erect only temporary sacred spaces. Here are some easy ways to create a truly sacred space in what is normally your bedroom, living room, or whatever...

First, for people who are comfortable working in almost any setting, try taking stones, crystals, etc. & using them as your circle boundaries. You could cast your circle as you place the stones. When you place the eastern stone, call the powers of that quarter & so on.

For Witches who like to change the atmosphere a little more, try buying or making a circle cloth. this is a circular piece of material, in a size that is comfortable for you, that is your magickal circle. You simply take it out, lay it down & energize like you would with any other casting. Perform your rites, & when you are finished, your entire circle folds neatly for easy storage.

This circle cloth can be anywhere from simple to elaborate. Buy a piece of material that you like, & cut out a circle. Cut the circle to the diameter of circle that you normally cast for your workings, be it three, four, or six feet. Most importantly make the diameter of your cloth a size that you are comfortable with. It can be left as simple as that, or you could decorate your cloth with power symbols, runes, astrological symbols, or whatever you choose. Just stitch, paint, draw, or glue on the symbols you want.

For those Witches with no craft talent whatsoever, go to your local store & find the tablecloth section. One of the sizes is a 72-inch round. This just happens to be a six foot circle. once again, either pick a color pattern you like or leave the cloth plain or decorate to suit your tradition.

Have fun trying these ideas.

Robert Kirk Walker Between Worlds

Robert Kirk Walker Between Worlds Cover

Book: Robert Kirk Walker Between Worlds by Robert John Stewart

This new edition of The Secret Commonwealth comes many years after I first read, in childhood, the incomplete edition prepared by Andrew Lang and published in the last century. In the intervening period a modern academic edition, edited by Stewart Sanderson, was published by the folklore Society (Mistletoe Series). This important edition lists all known manuscript sources and published variants, and I am indebted to the author for much valuable information. I must also acknowledge Dr. Deirdre Green, who, in 1982 introduced me to Kirk's fairy hill and took me to visit Kirk's grave and his home region in Aberfoyle, thus reawakening my dormant interest in The Secret Commonwealth and the lore of the Second Sight which runs in my own family. The concept of rendering the original text into modern English, in addition to a new short Commentary which I had long intended to write, was suggested to me by folklorist Jennifer Westwood during a bus journey through the Highlands of Scotland in pursuit of elusive ancient sites. In which situation, as Robert Kirk himself would say, such antic fancies as fairy-lore and wrestling with the wraiths and aery substance of his book were made sensible both to the intellectual and visive faculties.
