Imbolc
Imbolc is a Gaelic traditional festival. It marks the beginning of spring. It is held on 1 February, which is about halfway between the Yule (Winter Solstice) and the Ostara (Spring Equinox). Imbolc is mentioned in early Irish literature, and there is evidence suggesting it was also an important date in ancient times. It is believed that Imbolc was originally a pagan festival associated with the Goddess Brigid.
The festivities on the feast of Brigid did not begin to be recorded in detail until the early modern era. In recent centuries it was marked by the making of Brigid’s crosses and a doll-like figure of Brigid would be paraded from House-To-House by girls. Brigid was said to visit one’s home on the eve of the festival. To receive her blessings, people would make a bed for Brigid and leave her food and drink, and items of clothing would be left outside for her to bless. Brigid was also evoked to protect homes and livestock. Special feasts were had, holy wells were visited, and it was a time for divination.
It has also been argued that originally the timing of the festival was more fluid and based on seasonal changes. It is associated with the onset of the lambing season he beginning of preparations for the spring sowing, and the blooming of blackthorn. Holy Wells were visited, spring or small pool of water revered either in a pagan context, sometimes both. The water of holy wells is often thought to have healing qualities, through the numinous presence of its guardian spirit. They often have local legends associated with them as they were during some of the other Gaelic festivals. Visitors to holy wells would pray for health while walking sunwise clockwise was considered the “Prosperous Course”, turning from east to west in the direction of the sun, around the well. They would then leave offerings, typically coins. Water from the well was used to bless the home, family members, livestock, and fields. In Celtic regions, strips of cloth are often tied to trees at holy wells, known as clootie wells.
Imbolc is the traditional time for initiations. Initiation is a rite of passage marking entrance or acceptance into a group or society. It could also be a formal admission to adulthood in a community or one of its formal components. In an extended sense, it can also signify a transformation in which the initiate is “Reborn” into a new role. A person taking the initiation ceremony in traditional rites is called an initiate.
Brigid so loved as a pagan Goddess that her worship was woven. She is a Goddess of healing, poetry and smith craft. She is a Goddess of Fire, of the Sun and of the Hearth. Bridget brings fertility to the land and its people and is closely connected to midwives and new-born babies. She is the Triple Goddess, but at Imbolc she is in her Maiden aspect.
Other Ways to Imbolc
You don’t have to create an altar to celebrate Imbolc, although it can be a fun way to get your craft on. Other fun ways are to plant seeds, bake a cake light candles. As I’ve already mentioned, you can celebrate however you want. However, consider incorporating these symbols that are attributed to Imbolc:
- A Bridig Cross.
- The snowdrop.
- The swan.
- The flame.
- The serpent.
- Sheep.
- Imbolc colors are white, silver and green.
- Herbs of Imbolc are blackberry, coltsfoot, ginger.
- Trees of Imbolc are rowan and willow.

Athame
An athame is a ceremonial blade, generally with a black handle. It is the main ritual implement or magical tool among several used in ceremonial magic traditions, and by other neopagans. An athame can take many forms. Contrary to popular belief, athames are not required to have double-edged blades. Contemporary Witchcraft practitioners often choose a double-edged blade since this carries symbolic meaning. Some Witchcraft will choose a single edge athame and use the straight edge to ring the bell for rituals. The athame’s primary use is to channel and direct psychic energy, generally conceived as etheric fire. They are usually not supposed to harm or draw blood.
The ritual drawing of the boundary of the magic circle, also known as “Casting The Circle”, is usually done with an athame. The athame is associated with the magical element of fire, so the circle is considered to be cast in etheric fire. This fire is traditionally envisioned as blue, indigo or violet, although it may equally well be envisioned as other colors. When the circle is ritually purified after being cast, that is traditionally done with the remaining three elements air (Incense), water (Salt-Water), and earth (Salt), because the element of fire has already been imbued into the circle during the casting, by the use of the athame.
After the casting, the athame is the tool traditionally used to invoke the elemental guardians of the four directions, Calling The Quarters, typically by drawing invoking pentagrams at each quarter. As a Masculine Principle, the athame is often used in combination with the chalice, as Feminine Principle, evoking the act of procreation, as a symbol of universal creativity. The athame represents the magical element of fire, associated with the Sun and the Horned God; while the chalice represents the magical element of water, associated with the Moon and the Goddess. The union of the two then represents the union of God and Goddess, Male and Female, Sun and Moon, Fire and Water. The marriage of the Sun and Moon, the union of opposites, is an ancient idea in alchemy, and the Hieros Gamos or Sacred Marriage of God and Goddess is an even more ancient idea in pagan religions. This rite is done by dipping the athame into the chalice to bless the wine. This is a symbol of the Great Rite in Witchcraft rituals. Some modern Witchcraft traditions may prefer not to use iron blades, instead preferring alternatives such as copper, bronze or stone, such as obsidian. If they conceive of this casting in the traditional way, as a casting of etheric fire via a projection of psychic energy. One common way to do this is by using the four magical elements of Fire (Candle), Air (Incense), Water and Salt, and perhaps anointing the blade with an oil infused with magical herbs.
If they conceive of the circle casting as cutting a line in the air with the tool of air, then they may choose to purify the circle with the remaining three elements of fire, water, and eart, this would involve using a candle to purify the circle, and omitting the incense, since the circle has already been imbued with the element of air.

Altar
An altar is a structure upon which offerings such as sacrifices are made for religious purposes. Altars are found at shrines, temples, churches and other places of worship. They are used particularly in Pagan, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Modern Paganism, and Witchcraft. Many historical faiths also made use of them, including Witchcraft, Roman, Greek, and Norse religion.
Witchcraft Altar
Witchcraft altars may be set up outside as well as indoors. Some Witchcraft dedicate an entire room to their practice while others use a temporary altar. A temporary altar can be any flat surface that can be moved easily such as a coffee table. More permanent altars are left up for the Wiccan to return to for their rites and rituals. Personal altars are those placed in a private bedroom, closet, or other space usually occupied by one person. They are used for practices of piety intended for one person.
A Witchcraft altar is a raised structure or place used for worship or prayer, upon which a Witchcraft practitioner places several symbolic and functional items for the purpose of worshiping the God and Goddess, casting spells, and/or saying chants and prayers. There are many types of altars Witchcraft may choose to use during ritual. Depending the rite they are performing, the material used for their altars may vary. This is because in many circles, different types of wood are believed to carry certain magical qualities. The altar is often considered a personal place where practitioners put their ritual items.
In the most basic form, an altar can be a single stone or a flickering candle that serves as a focal point for your meditation practice. If your spiritual practice is earth-based, your more formal altars may want to include a nod to each of the four directions. A more elaborate altar could include many elements that bring to focus a different energy that you would like to focus on. If you are creating an altar for group ritual, perhaps each member of the group brings an object to place on the altar to represent a facet of the work you are doing together. If you have a spiritual project that spans many days or sessions, you may want to bring a new object to the altar at the beginning of each session to refresh and deepen the practice.
Some Witchcraft arrange their altars to represent all four elements and directions. In the North the earth element is represented; in the east is air, in the south is fire, and in the west water. These elements can be represented in various ways, but generally do not vary in elemental and directional correspondences. When placing items on an altar or when a practice involving inviting the elements to be a part of the circle and lend their power a practitioner will move clockwise and when dismissing the elements they will move counter-clockwise.
Common items on a Witchcraft altar include athame, broom, candles, cauldron, chalice, incense, pentacle, wand, etc. Some of the items represent the Earth’s four elements, but elements may be represented more literally, with gems, salt, water, plant material, etc.

Coven
A coven is a group or gathering of Witch or Wizard. Lineaged Witchcraft is organised into covens of initiated Priests and Priestesses. Coven are autonomous and are generally headed by a High Priest and a High Priestess working in partnership, being a couple who have each been through their first, second, and third degrees of initiation. Occasionally the leaders of a coven are only second-degree initiates, in which case they come under the rule of the parent coven. Initiation and training of new Priesthood is most often performed within a coven environment, but this is not a necessity, and a few initiated Witchcraft are unaffiliated with any coven. Most covens would not admit members under the age of 18. They often do not advertise their existence, and when they do, do so through pagan magazines. Some organise courses and workshops through which prospective members can come along and be assessed.
A commonly quoted Witchcraft tradition holds that the ideal number of members for a coven is thirteen, though this is not held as a hard-and-fast rule. Indeed though the membership may be augmented by unaffiliated Witchcraft at “Open” rituals. That covens typically contained between five and ten initiates. They generally avoid mass recruitment due to the feasibility of finding spaces large enough to bring together greater numbers for rituals and because larger numbers inhibit the sense of intimacy and trust that covens utilise.
Initiation into a coven is traditionally preceded by an apprenticeship period of a year and a day. A course of study may be set during this period. In some covens a “Dedication” ceremony may be performed during this period, some time before the initiation proper, allowing the person to attend certain rituals on a probationary basis.
Lost Bearded White Brother is Witchcraft Solitary Practitioner also choose to study for a year and a day before their self-dedication to the religion.
With the rise of the Internet as a platform for collaborative discussion and media dissemination, it became popular for adherents and practitioners of Witchcraft to establish “Online Covens” which remotely teach tradition-specific Witchcraft to students in a similar method of education. However, because of potentially-unwieldy membership sizes, many online covens limit their memberships to anywhere between 10 and 100 students.

Ardghar
I work with a sensible spirits occultist. The occult, in the broadest sense, is a category of esoteric supernatural beliefs and practices which generally fall outside the scope of religion and science, encompassing phenomena involving otherworldly agency, such as magic and mysticism and their varied spells. It can also refer to supernatural ideas like extra-sensory perception and parapsychology.
The Wizard is an ancient symbol of secret wisdom. For the most part arcane knowledge is available to those who know where to look and is allowed to do so. I learned what I know for the most part from my mentor. As a highly evolved creature: in part a remnant of ancient worlds in which human beings evolved sufficiently to take on physical bodies in remote lifetimes. It is a throwback to our antiquity, to the unresolved and unredeemed histories in our own past lives. It combines the two elements, earth and air, also the two planes, the physical and the spirits occultist.
A grimoire is a textbook of magic, typically including instructions on how to create magical objects like talismans and amulets, how to perform magical spells, charms and divination, and how to summon or invoke supernatural entities such as angels, spirits and deities. In many cases, the books themselves are believed to be imbued with magical powers, although in many cultures, other sacred texts that are not grimoires have been believed to have supernatural properties intrinsically.
Our metaphysical examines the fundamental nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter; merges three of them; lifelong music, art and magic. We believe that practically any object can be magic. The prominence that it gave to the idea of influencing or controlling nature led many scientists to look into magic and those arts, which it was thought that, could put nature to the test by means of experiments. Magic is everywhere, and a growing number of people are waking up to its power. Real magic takes work, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t also be a great delight.
I grew up as a weird suggesting something supernatural kid. You’re both a dreamer and a doer, reading people, extremely sensitive, highly creative and the potential to be a great leader. While there was a few my main resource for understanding my mystical and paranormal experiences were books and a few trusted peers.
I consider myself a sensible occultist. A solitary practitioner that chooses to practice her spiritual faith in the privacy of her home or other designated space. I don’t know how everything works, and that’s okay. I use a combination of study, observation, and intuition to arrive at working theories. Though I am grateful to my mentor and of some accomplished people in general. In my craft art, music, or magic require special manual skill interests including music, painting, drawing, photography, jewelry, prints, etchings, engravings, sculpture, and more.

Magical Gemstone
A gemstone is a piece of mineral crystal which, in cut and polished form, is used to make jewelry or other adornments. However, certain rocks and occasionally organic materials that are not minerals are also used for jewelry and are therefore often considered to be gemstones as well. Most gemstones are hard, but some soft minerals are used in jewelry because of their luster or other physical properties that have aesthetic value. Rarity is another characteristic that lends value to a gemstone. Magical Crystals and Gemstones are often used in magical rituals and worn for their color and properties said to be possessed by that Crystals and Gemstones.
Gemstone is eternal and lasts for a lifetime. Each stone has a Gemstone to tell and beneficial properties that can enrich the lives of those who use them. Carry your intentions with you at all times. Wearing gemstones will bring awareness to your daily purpose, and you are more likely to get inspired to achieve it and lead a meaningful life. Select your favorable gemstone to influence your energy field in ways that you choose intentionally.
Our deep connection with the universe often involves relating ourselves to the elements with which we share that same universe. And of all the entities with which we share this singular planet, its stones and minerals have been used since time immemorial by kings, magicians, shamans, fortune tellers and other powerful people for their own purposes. And some are chosen simply for their own rarity and beauty.
Regardless of the metaphysical powers, we may attribute to these minerals, their energies, magical or psychic powers, their ritual or healing uses, they can still capture the imaginations as symbols, and as brilliant treasures cloaked in stories and myths. As but pieces of our planet, into them, we’ve deposited our purest fantasies and metaphors, and for this reason alone, of course, they can be called magical.
The Magic movement has introduced different gems to guide us in our unique journeys. Most of the stones are just too riveting to not be in the mainstream spotlight. Mainly named as the greatest psychic gemstone harmonizes all the different energies of our biological and spiritual makeup. It helps in the distribution of nutrients in our body while washing toxins away and healing digestive system disorders.
As for the emotional aspects, it is known to calm and soothe the heart. With its balancing energies, the wearer does not express or repress the emotion, but rather simply trust the Higher Will. Because it can pinpoint emotional patterns that had become bad habits, it can also filter volatile thoughts and replace it with a more balanced approach.
The wearer a flash of feeling and compassion to one’s self that ultimately brings inner happiness. Since it’s also linked to the feminine energies, it amplifies our intuitions. It is mostly used by women to enhance their psychic powers. As for men, the crystal makes them more in-sync with their feminine nature to bring an equilibrium to their emotional and rational sides.

Incenses
Incense is an aromatic biotic material that releases fragrant smoke when burned. The term is used for either the material or the aroma. Incense is used for aesthetic reasons, aromatherapy, meditation, and ceremony. Incense is composed of aromatic plant materials, often combined with essential oils.
Direct-burning incense is lit directly by a flame and then blown out; leaving a glowing ember that smolders and releases a smoky fragrance. Direct-burning incense is either a paste formed around a bamboo stick, or a paste that is extruded into a stick or cone shape.
Combustible bouquets were used by the ancient Egyptians, who employed incense in both pragmatic and mystical capacities. The purpose of the usage of incense stick varies; some human beings use it for the duration of meditation and rituals.
From the dawn of times, incense has always been widely used throughout the world as it represented an essential element for religious rituals and spiritual practices in general.
But spiritualism aside, the reason why incense is still now a big thing is that apparently it also has great beneficial effects: its smell can indeed significantly change the air and therefore the energy of our environment and for this reason, we might want to be extra careful when searching for the right one for our purposes.
From the dawn of times, incense has always been widely used throughout the world as it represented an essential element for religious rituals and spiritual practices in general.
This is by far the most common one: as we said, this type of incense can be directly ignited, and as soon as the flame is extinguished it generates a light smoke, diffusing a pleasant fragrance into the air. Each stick has a specific burning time that may vary according to its form and ingredients. As a general rule, a stick of incense should usually last between 50 and 90 minutes.
Direct Burning Incense
Moreover, some examples of direct burning incense include:
- Sticks
- Coil incense
- Incense cones
- Powders
Burning incense is not simply part of a millenary tradition, but it’s indeed a fantastic way to enrich, cleansing the air around us, gifting us with gentle, mystic notes of pure delight.

Magical Oils
Magical Oils plants in the form of oil and incense were elements of religious and therapeutic practices in early cultures worldwide. In addition, anointment with perfumes and fragrant oils was an almost universal practice. In some folk magic traditions, Witchcraft Magical Oils can be used for both anointing people and objects, such as candles. In some magical systems, such as various forms of Witchcraft, candle dressing oils are also used to anoint the skin, so many oils are blended in a way that is skin-safe. This way, they can be used for dressing candles and charms, but also can be worn on your body.
Using an eyedropper, add the Magical Oils in the recipes. Be sure to follow the recommended proportions. Swish the Magical Oils into the base oil by swirling in a clockwise direction. Finally, consecrate your oils if your tradition requires it. Make sure you store your oil blends in a place away from heat and moisture. Keep them in dark-colored glass bottles, and be sure to label them for use. Write the date on the label, and use within six months.
There are a number of ways you can use your oils in a ritual setting. They are often rubbed on candles for use in spellwork, this blends the powerful energies of the oil with the magical symbolism of the candle’s color and the energy of the flame itself.
Magical Oils are used to anoint the body. If you are blending an oil to use for this purpose, be sure that you’re not including any ingredients that are irritating to the skin. Oils applied to the body bring the wearer the energies of the oil. Finally, crystals, amulets, talismans and other charms may be anointed with the Magical Oils of your choice. This is a great way to turn a simple mundane item into an item of magical power and energy.
A good place to start is with 8 ounces oil per 8 tablespoons herb or flower. Remember a little oil goes a long way. You can use Mineral Oil or some other neutral carrier oil to absorb the scent and properties of the herb. It is helpful to visualize the purpose for which you are making the oil throughout the process or you can say a little chant pertaining to that certain oil while making it to add more of your energy and power to it. It is important that you cap the jars tightly or you will have moldy mixtures. Remember the darker the bottle, the better your oil will keep. Add tincture of benzoin to preserve your oils.
Pour your oil into your mortar. Add your herb a little at a time, pressing it into the oil with your pestle. After you have combined it well, pour it into a bottle. Store the bottle in a dark, consecrated place for three days. On the fourth day check oil to see if it has absorbed enough of the scent.
You can repeat this process of scenting your oil until its as strong as you desire. When the scent is right for you it is ready for use in your spellwork. Strain with cheesecloth, store in tightly capped dark glass bottles with a little tincture of benzoin to preserve.

Pentacle
Witchcraft is considered a modern interpretation of pre-Christian traditions, though some involved claim a direct line to ancient practices. It may be practiced by individuals or members of groups. There is great diversity among individuals and groups that practice a Witchcraft religion, but many are duotheistic, worshiping both a Mother Goddess and a Horned God.
A pentacle is a kind of amulet or talisman used in traditional magical evocations and in some magical traditions such as Witchcraft, alongside other magical tools. It is often confused with the pentagram symbol, which is also widely used within the words are often used.
A pentacle is employed as a magical tool within modern forms of witchcraft, generally to summon certain energies or command spirits. It is one of the four elemental tools of witchcraft, along with the chalice, the athame and the wand, and represents the element of Earth. It is normally the centrepiece of the altar on which objects are to be consecrated or charged, and such things as amulets, charms and other tools are placed on it, as may also be the salt and water for blessing. It may also be worn around the neck, or just placed within the triangle of evocation.
A pentacle is generally a disc made of parchment, paper, metal, although it can be of other materials such as stone, clay, wood, etc, on which the symbol of a spirit or energy being evoked is drawn. Other protective symbols may also be included, and the pentacle can be decorated and personalized by the individual, according to its required purpose.
Despite the sound of the word, pentacle often had no connotation of five in the old magical texts. A pentacle could therefore be any magical talisman inscribed with any symbol or character, and a great variety of shapes and images appear in the old magical grimoires. When they do incorporate star-shaped figures, than pentagrams five-pointed.
On the other hand usually inscribed inside a circle, is also used widely today as a symbol of faith by many Witchcraft. Many people who practice Witchcraft faiths wear jewellery incorporating the pentagram symbol, the points of which are held to represent earth, air, fire, water and spirit. The Witchcraft pentagram is drawn upright, single point on top.
According to the ancient grimoires, the pentacle is of central importance in the evocation of spirits. A fairly typical evocation involves a series of conjurations of increasing potency, each involving the display of the pentacle. Once the spirit has appeared and been constrained, the pentacle is covered again, but is uncovered whenever demands are made of the spirit or when it is compelled to depart.
