I miss y'all.

Work has been insane and I'm barely keeping up with my SM.

Merry Krampusnacht!

This is something my local social justice hexing group is doing tonight. I make them a little booklet when we do this stuff so people can add notes about what works for them & what doesn't.

I'm creating my ladder with 13 small iron nails & twine. I will release 1 each day, starting tomorrow, & hammer it onto a picture of Christofacists from Jan 6, standing in front of the Capitol that I mounted to a board. I'm going to hammer them into a circle around the image on the board. I'll post a pic of that when it's complete. I have a saying for each knot that I untie and for when I hammer it into the board.

Witches’ garlands, also known as witches’ ladders and ‘rope and feathers’, are used as a tool in hexing and cursing. They were generally used to bring illness or death upon the intended target. Black hen’s feathers, and the person’s hair if available, were knotted into the cord, and hidden in the victim’s mattress. This was thought to bring on sickness and weakness. To bring upon death, they were buried and the only way to reverse the curse was to find the garland, dig it up, then untie the knots. The ladder consists of three strands of fabric or cords. These are braided, with knots made down the ladder every inch or so. You may tie items into these knots which symbolize what you want to manifest. By making each knot, you are creating energy and tying it into that part of the ladder. You have several different options to contain this energy, depending on what type of spell you are working on. You might knot your intentions into knots in order to manifest something. Then over nine days, you release one knot per day, focusing on bringing your need/want into existence. You might want to bind someone, in which case, you would want each knot to stay secure.
Creating the Witch’s Ladder 1. Start by gathering your materials and getting your cords ready to knot or braid. It may help to tie the cords together on one end and tape the knotted end to a table or another surface. I found that doing so helps to prevent the cords from getting tangled in the process and it helps maintain a nice tension while braiding. 2. As you braid or knot your cords, begin adding your chosen materials. You may wish to recite something or chant as you are doing this, but it is not necessary. Depending on how many items you are using, you may wish to space them out evenly. For this, a ruler may come in handy. It may be helpful to braid the cords first and then insert your objects into the braid later on. 3. Continue braiding or knotting until you have made your witch’s ladder as long as you would like it. To finish your witch’s ladder, you may choose to simply tie off the cords, or you may choose to add something extra to the end. Finish off your witch’s ladder however you see fit. 4. When using the ladder to bind someone, you want to keep the knots and hide the ladder in a safe space. If you want to release your hex, you open one knot per night, until you have loosened them all. Then burn the cords. You may also put it in a sealed jar and burn a candle over it to seal the jar. Do this for as many days as you have made knots, concentrating each night on a different knot’s energy and intention.

Witches and that sort:

What are your thoughts / feelings on the merging of the New Age movement and traditional witchcraft (not Wicca)?

Do you feel the light and love movement amplified the commoditization of witchcraft items or vise versa?

Witches and that sort,

  1. Do you create a circle every time you do spellwork and/or ritual?
  2. Do you feel it is necessary before work for protection, or do you do it because it helps get you in the right space energetically (mood)?

Witches and that sort,

  1. Do you commune with the dead?
  2. What techniques do you use?
  3. Are you comfortable with ghosts/spirits being in your house?

So growing up in rural Kentucky with tons of superstition, we were all raised NOT to have ghosts in our houses. Communication when needed is fine, but the living and the dead have their own places.

Nowadays, many people talk about living in haunted houses and feel very comfortable with this.

Happy Yule!

Tonight is a great time to run off any mischievous elves, goblins, or trolls who might be lurking around your property or in your home. You can hammer nails into your door frame, or grab a candle and some pots and pans, bang them through every room in the house yelling, "Out trolls! Out goblins! Out elves!"

That is, unless you want to keep your housemates and nightly helpers who live in companionship with your family.
Or if you are like me, and have a hard time turning anything out into the cold night, leave out some fruit, bits of cheese, some coins, and maybe a sweet cookie or two.

Save the date for our first annual Witches' Market in Evansville, Indiana, near the Henderson, Kentucky border.

All vendors have been hand selected for their craftsmanship and quality handmade items.

We will also have psychics and readers available that day.

Come dressed for the vibe and do a little shopping on Small Business Saturday!

We had our Spring Equinox event last night.

We each picked an element to work with over the incoming year and painted eggs to symbolize what we want to nurture more of in our lives.
