Almost Halfway Done With The Phoenician Alphabet Oracle. There Are 22 Letters/cards In Total And I’ve

Rating Sabrina on its Witchy Accuracy

Recently I’ve been binging the new season of Sabrina on Netflix and I definitely have some things I want to share.  I thought it would be fun to analyze this show a bit and look at the way they choose to portray certain historical elements of Witchcraft and Paganism. Firstly, obviously this show is not trying to be historically accurate and that’s totally fine. I actually really love how campy and ridiculous this series is.  And of course if they tried to accurately portray modern witchcraft the show wouldn’t be nearly as exciting.  Though, I do find it fun that they did bring in some historical elements of witchcraft and that’s what we’re going to go over today. SATANIC WITCHES?

The first interesting thing about this series is that the witches in the show are Satanic Witches. This is quite a bit different from other tv shows that are inspired by lighter forms of witchcraft, like Charmed for example. I think the way that they chose to portray Satanic witches and their worship of the dark lord is a super fun part of the show as it shows a type of witchcraft that you usually don’t see in pop culture. So, did Satanic Witches who worship Lucifer actually exist in history?  Today there are a small handful of people claiming to be Satanic Witches, though historically we don’t have much evidence for this kind of witchcraft. This might be surprising as the most commonly known historic events featuring witchcraft are probably the witch trails in Europe and America where people were killed for supposedly worshiping the devil.  In reality, the vast majority of the people killed were not witches and definitely not satanic witches.  Most of the people who admitted to worshiping the devil were only saying so because they were being tortured at the time.The witch trials as a whole was mostly an excuse for the church to kill off a bunch of protestants, any “undesirables” in society, and anyone who might be still holding on to Pagan traditions. Now, that doesn’t mean witches didn’t exist in the past, they definitely did but hardly any of them would have been practicing Satanic Witchcraft. So while this aspect of Sabrina is super fun, it’s not really based much in history. THE CUNNING One of the characters in the show has something called The Cunning. In the show this means that she is a seer and can gain information psychically that others cannot.  Historically there are many accounts of women who are considered seers or able to see the future.  The most famous historical seer is probably the Oracle of Delphi, but each culture has their own version of this practice. But why in the show did they use the term, The Cunning? I find this interesting as it connects with a group of historical magical practitioners called The Cunning Folk.   While the Cunning Women and Men would not have called themselves witches, they were practicing a form of witchcraft. This magical tradition started in the Medieval period and was mostly focused in Britain.  Many of our surviving historical spells and witchcraft traditions come from these people called the Cunning Folk. They used spells, charms, and talismans for a variety of services for their community such as protection, locating missing people and property, helping to heal others, and telling the future. In the most recent season Roz speaks with her deceased grandmother who tells her that her family could not call themselves witches because they were good Christians.  This is interesting because similarly the Cunning Folk considered themselves to be Christians and they even often used bible verses in their spells and charms.  I’m not sure if the producers knew this about the Cunning Folk when creating this show but I think this detail is kind of interesting. The Green Man & The Wicker Man In Season 3 of Sabrina, they come across a group of Pagans trying to resurrect the Green Man.  Historically, the Green Man is a fascinating and mysterious Pagan deity. He is primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, represented in the cycle of growth each spring.  In Sabrina they try to resurrect the Green Man by creating a giant humanoid effigy, more commonly known as the wicker man.  Then they try to sacrifice a virgin, in this case Harvey, by putting him inside of the wicker man. The Green Man and the Wickerman are not really related historically though we do have some accounts of a wickerman being created. One of the most popular accounts of pagan human sacrifice comes from Julius Caesar during his conquest of Gaul where he reports to have seen the burning alive of victims in a large wooden effigy. Though considering the Celts were his enemy at the time it is possible he exaggerated some details.  So, while it’s likely that some human sacrifice occurred among the Pagan Celts and Anglo-Saxons we don’t really know too many details and it’s likely that the violence was probably a bit exaggerated. As a side note, the whole representation of Pagans in Sabrina was definitely a bit ridiculous. And I find it weird that shortly after the Pagans are defeated, the Satanic Witches stop worshipping the dark lord and start worshiping the Greek Goddess, Hecate.  So even though the Pagans were their enemies in the 3rd season, in the 4th season they kind of become pagans themselves. FINAL THOUGHTS In general, I think this show is super fun and even though they’re not aiming for historical accuracy, I do like how they at least tried to incorporate different aspects of witchcraft & paganism in the show.  So, in general I would give this show a 2/10 on historical accuracy.  Though if I were to rate the show as a whole, I’d probably give it a 7/10 because it’s super fun and enjoyable to watch.

A Crash Course on Channeling

What is Channeling?

Channeling is allowing a nonphysical entity to use your physical body, in order to accomplish something. If that sounds, vague, it’s because it is. Channeling takes many different forms and intensity levels! Depending on how it’s done, it can be a medium-difficulty task or one of the most advanced things a spirit worker can do. 

Types of Channeling

I once heard channeling described as a car ride, and in my experience that’s very accurate. The car is your body, and you’re in it with an entity. Sometimes you’re in the driver’s seat, and the entity is in the back seat giving directions. Sometimes you or the entity is in the passenger’s seat: not calling most of the shots, but able to reach over and grab the wheel if needed. Sometimes you’re in the backseat watching the entity drive, and sometimes you’re in the trunk. In practice, this can take a number of forms.

Speaking on Behalf. This is the kind of channeling people do most often. The entity isn’t controlling you, just feeding you lines which you can then relay to a third party. You’re translating their messages to something other people can comprehend. If you’ve ever answered a question for a spirit in their words, you’ve done this. 

Isolated Channeling. The entity takes control of just a part of the body, usually the hands or fingers. This is mostly used for things like automatic writing.

Assuming Form. Also known as consensual possession. The entity is in the driver’s seat, speaking and acting for themselves without your help. Some people will call this “horsing.”

Possession. While the word “possession” could technically cover all of this, within the spirit work community it’s usually reserved for channeling where the human did not consent beforehand. This doesn’t necessarily mean in a violating way- I once had a friend who got possessed just long enough for an entity to yank them out of danger; once I was taken for just a moment to convey a quick (but very direct) message to a devotee, and snapped out of it right after. 

Reasons to Channel

Everyone will have a different reason to channel but most of them fall under a few categories:

Helping Someone Else. You’re channeling on behalf of someone who can’t [easily] reach the entity themselves, in order to ease communication between the two parties. This is often seen with mediums contacting spirit guides and Ancestors.

Aid in Other Works. The entity is better suited to accomplish a certain task than you, so you let them take the lead. This is often seen with a familiar or spirit companion, someone the practitioner works with closely enough to know their strengths and trust them. 

Easier Communication Overall. Channeling is a way to get really familiar with an entity’s energy. Again, we often see this with spirit companions and is more to bond than to achieve another goal.  This would include automatic writing or letting a spirit experience things “through” you. 

Ritual Invitation. In some traditions, it’s common to invite deities to ritual events. Often, some type of channeling/possession is expected and is usually reached through ecstatic experiences. It’s taken as a sign the deity has arrived at the party, either a sign the offerings have been received or a time for the deity to convey important messages. 

Before-You-Begin Essentials

Know How To Protect Yourself. This is non-negotiable. Is your discernment tuned enough to spot an impostor or malevolent entity? Do you know how to end a session early? Do you know how to banish a spirit in an emergency? If the answer is no, then study up and return to channeling when you’re ready. 

Know Your Entity. Channeling, by nature, puts the practitioner in an intimate and vulnerable place, so you don’t want to give that access to an entity who may misuse it. If it’s your first time channeling, make sure you trust this entity with your life. 

Don’t Channel Alone. When you channel, you’re in an altered state of consciousness. Having someone grounded near you helps keep the session on track and keep you out of trouble should you need it. (Either by forcing an entity out if needed or just keeping you from climbing that tree.) 

Other Notes

It’ll Probably Take a Lot Out of You. Have something ready to ground and rehydrate yourself after a session, and make sure you don’t have anything high-demand planned after. 

Start Small. No need to jump head-first into the most advancecd and high-intensity types of channeling! Start with automatic writing or painting and get used to the feeling and work your way up.

Don’t Make It Weird. Basic etiquette still matters. Channeling is not a pass to give unsolicited messages to other practitioners, speak on behalf of their deities to them (unless they’ve specifically asked), or say hurtful things cushioned by: “What? It wasn’t me who said it.”

Messages Are Rarely “Pure.” This means everything is still filtered through you, the practitioner. Your values, morals, biases, and beliefs can inform what messages get through and how they are conveyed. Nobody wants to send out a message they disagree with, after all. This becomes less of an influencing factor with experience as one learns to hone their skill and let go more, but it’s important to always keep in mind. (If a channeling friend says a deity doesn’t accept your gender identity or something, that’s a good sign that really your “friend” doesn’t accept it.)

Cats and their magical properties

Hello my loves! I am finally back with a new post! So todays post is a special one because one I love cats, and two we have hit 2500 followers! I would like to thank you all so much! I love seeing the comments on posts about how you enjoy the information and hacks!

Cats and Magic

Cats are great animals to work with if you wish to develop your intuition, as they have incredible psychic properties.

They symbolise a balance of a wild and tame personality, one that can act on a whim and be independent while also making sensible and open minded choices.

They teach us to balance the physical world with a deep awareness of natures spirit, encouraging us to embrace our spiritual side while also being able to remain grounded

A cat with tri coloured fur is supposed to be extremely lucky, and also has a extra strong protective effect on the home

A snub nosed cat is attracts wealth to its companions, and stroking any cats tail 9 times grants good luck in love

Cats were seen as protectors of the home from disease and rodents, making them an ideal household pet!

Black Cats and their specific magical properties

Are a sign of good luck

If you see a strange black cat for seven days straight it is a sure sign that you will recieve money

Represents that you must believe you are worthy, to develop your own personal and unique craft, and encourages you to take risks and learn from them.

Some uses of cats in magic

Using cats fur in magic to add to your spells can contribute peacefulness, resourcefulness or grace to the spell

If you are stuck with a question of yes or no, call your cat in over a threshold and watch its paws, if its right paw crosses over first then it is a yes, left paw means no.

And thats it loves! I hope this is helpful to any cat lovers out there! Send me asks if you would like a specific topic covered and I will do my best to help! Later loves!

This has been a Public Service Announcement.

About hexing

Remember to always protect yourself before, and cleanse your energies after

Focus on your target, one at a time if you want to hex more than one person, to avoid accidentally cursing someone you didn’t want to in the process

You can ask spirits, gods and other entities for help, but they might ask about your motives first

Sitting in a ring of salt while cursing is good for both grounding and protection

Sigils, Oghams and such can help you through the spell or ritual

Personal advice : you might want to think calmly about it before hexing someone, as it is a magical act that must not be taken lightly, especially for hexes that influence on one’s health (physical or psychological)

When you feel you have lost everything, you still have

books

unexpected kindness in strangers

the rest of the world to travel

languages to learn

animals to take care of

volunteer work to do

the power of a good night’s rest

the changing of seasons

infinite things to learn

billions of people to meet and possibly love

billions of people who might love you back
