Bell, Book & Candle: Pagan Veiling →
jennilovesyew:
Hullo! I’ve noticed that interest in veiling has picked up and since I’ve begun to research it in depth as I start my journey, I decided that I should do a bit of a link dump, so that some information is easier to find.
The first thing I noticed is that Google is like that…
I've been testing out my new oracle cards...
And holy hell are they spot on!
I’m doing a reading with my boyfriend and I have never been this amazed with the outcome of a card reading.
Just got my new Oracle cards!
I’ll post a picture and a bit of my thoughts about them when I pick them up after I get out of class!

1. Set a timer (most cell phones have these). I suggest 5 minutes for a true newbie, 10-15 for a beginner, 20-30 for people who are looking to really give it a go. Feel free to start at whatever time and work your way up.

Being a Spiritual Person as a Young Adult
Over the course of the last year running this blog, I’ve come across a lot of people who are either just starting out on their path or are running into questions about what to do and how to practice. Let me first just say that starting out on a path in Wicca and Paganism is fantastic, but it’s also a challenge and you have to be able to understand that going into it.
I have been a...

I am twenty years old, and a sophomore in college. On the outside I look just like everyone else. I go to class, get good grades,...

1) Make it a formal practice. You will only get to the next level in meditation by setting aside specific time (preferably two times a day) to be still.
2) Start with the breath. Breathing deep slows the heart rate, relaxes the muscles, focuses the mind and is an ideal way…

Magickal Names
Picking a magickal name is a part of the process when starting into Wicca and Paganism that people spend months or years trying to wrap their heads around.
Many Wiccans take on - or are given - a secret soul-name. This is the name they use only in ritual - their magickal name.
This name is believed to hold great power. It encapsulates your Essential Self. It is your “true name.”

Celebrating the Sabbats can easily be done as a solitary, because celebrating doesn’t have to be extravagant and complicated. The spirit of it is the most important thing. Start out simply. In this way, you can build up your own special holiday traditions. Having simple celebrations also is…

I just recently read Peg Aloi’s article Leaves of Gold: Finding Those Rare Occult Books here on the Witches’ Voice again, and there’s always one statement she makes that pops out to me: “Pagans like books.” Well, I can’t really deny that that statement definitely applies to me. Even before I came…

undeadunicron asked: Oh, thank you so much, that really helps a lot. I've been looking all over though, do you believe that everyone has an animal actually in spirit form that guides them? Just not a physical one? I can't find any information on that... And with the meanings of different animals, I saw that you had a dog on there but do you know what different breeds mean? More specifically a cocker spaniel?...
Animal Traits and Meanings
Alligator - Maternal, revenge oriented, quickness, aggression, and basic survival instincts. Ant - Group minded, determination, patient, active, and industrious Anteater - Lethargy, curiosity, nosiness. Antelope - Active, agile, jumpiness, and willing to sacrifice Armadillo - Safety oriented, grounded, and has boundaries Badger - Courage, aggressive, healer, having problems relating to...

Animal Totem Meditational Exercise
This simple exercise to contact your spirit animal totem can be done either inside or outside. If you are outside a Physical One may appear as well. The technique remains the same. If you don’t hear, see, or get any impressions this is alright. You are creating a sacred space around you, in mind, body and spirit, to allow communication to take place....

Spirit Animals and How To Find Them!
Hey everyone!
Today I’m going to be talking about spirit animals and how to find them! Your spirit animal is a specific animal that can be a great mentor, friend and support system in your practice. According to wicca-spirituality.com, “Animal Spirit Guides are more than animals, though. They embody the spiritual essence of the animal… the Divine form of the animal. So in a way,...
undeadunicron asked: Can you talk about spirit animals? I just found your blog and haven't had time to look through everything to see if you already have, but can you explain like what they are and what it means to have certain ones?

that-one-pagan-girl asked: I live with my boyfriend who is not Pagan or Wiccan, and he knows about my interested in it and how I am studying. So, for rituals and such I will have space and everything but we do not have a lot of money. Do you have any tips about how to collect supplies or cheap ways to get supplies for rituals and such? (Sorry if my wording is wrong or off, like I said.. NEWBIE :))
shadowxstar asked: So i've been recently studying Wicca as a path to follow, and i purchased the book "Wiccapedia" (Wicca for beginners wasn't available), and i like hearing other Wiccan's talk about it as a way for me to understand more about it. Something that caught my eye when reading it, was the path of "Angelic Wicca" that seams to be practised more in Britain, and is fairly...
Anonymous asked: What would you recommend I do if I wanted to start practicing Wicca on my own?
skitzobetch asked: I don't know if my previous question went through so im going to ask it again with just less of an explanation lol. I read online that the two most used candles for an imbolc ritual are red and white. i have neither is it possible to use a different colored candle (purple)? and carve some runes or sigils on it? would it have the same effect?
necromany asked: I actually do have a question here. I've been studying Wicca since the 6th grade. I'm in 11th now and almost a senior. But I've never been able to fully practice. So I've devoted that energy to just learning all I can. The question would be is it alright to even call myself Wiccan? Whenever someone asks me what my religion is, that is what I say. But I feel wrong about it...
