Adventures In Witchery: February 2015
http://adventuresinwitchery.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 4, 2015. Tell Me About It. Speak Daggers To Her. Tuesday, February 3, 2015. Every time a "traditional witchcraft" book starts out with "This is totes not Wicca omglol". Every time someone claims to practice some pre-Gardnerian form of Witchcraft but they can't cite any sources/people that predate Gardner. For every mention of Isobel Gowdie, familiar spirits, toad bone rites, flying ointments or anything Cornish. Drink a gallon of the liquor of your choice*. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Adventures In Witchery: December 2014
http://adventuresinwitchery.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2014. This one is going around on YouTube, and since I can't yet work up the nerve to commit both my face and voice to film, I'll have to stick with blogging. 1) How did you encounter Paganism, Witchcraft or Magick for the First Time? 2) What was your first book? The Anatomy of Witchcraft by Peter Haining. 3) What was the first spell you ever performed? 4) What was your first crystal or stone? 5) Who was the first God and/or Goddess you encountered on your Path? I went to an open cir...

Haegtesse: Mugwort
http://haegtesse.blogspot.com/2012/09/mugwort.html
Saturday, September 15, 2012. I've been aware of mugwort all this season; it is, these days, considered one of the witchy herbs par excellence:. It's ubiquitous, especially aligned towards the visionary and dreams, and pretty mild, so a good place to start, so I've heard. You probably can't hurt yourself on it, barring an allergy. Have to look at it, at both the whole and the details. This was the impression I got from mugwort from drawing it:. So I prepared myself tonight, and dabbed a little honeysuckl...

Haegtesse: Foundations Sigils
http://haegtesse.blogspot.com/2012/12/foundations-sigils.html
Tuesday, December 4, 2012. So I had this idea, because I'm really. Into sigils right now. (Blame internet crush Gordon. Oops, did I say that out loud? My main goal these days is to heal and process an abusive childhood. I will use any tool available to me, and that includes magic, which I think is potentially a very. Powerful one. What is magic, in large part, but directed consciousness? Sounds to me like a perfect. Tool for healing a damaged psyche. Rather than true knowledge. The top layer of belief, a...

Haegtesse: September 2013
http://haegtesse.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 16, 2013. I have been walking a bit, lately, various circuits around the neighborhood; and this plant caught my eye. But it's odd, this time: it didn't shout at me, and it didn't really even 'catch' my eye; I just sort of slowly became aware of it. I've lived in this neighborhood pretty much all my life; I live in the childhood home, which is mine now. I've seen this plant all my life. But I never really saw. It, I don't think. It's Comptonia peregrina,. I asked it what I wanted to tell...

Haegtesse: Hurricane Magic
http://haegtesse.blogspot.com/2012/10/hurricane-magic.html
Monday, October 29, 2012. Tonight during the storm I had the very strong urge to do something witchy; I think it is all the raw power blowing around out there. There's something about hearing the wind blowing in a storm, especially at the tail-end of October, that gets a witch's blood going. So I decided to make up some black salt. Black salt is really really good for providing serious protection and driving out curses and hexes and other negativity. And I can really. Use that about now. A hedgewitch on ...

Haegtesse: Experience
http://haegtesse.blogspot.com/2012/11/experience.html
Wednesday, November 21, 2012. I thought maybe I was misunderstanding the concept of the astral. I had the idea that Things Astral were different from what I'd call Otherworld stuff, like what get called the underworld or the upperworld, at least in The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft,. But no, those kidz on Tumblr are calling it all the astral. It threw me for a bit of a loop. Because my experience is so very, very different. It's true, I come to this shaman ish. And no one there has tried to kill me, or e...

Haegtesse: Mugwort Trial
http://haegtesse.blogspot.com/2012/09/mugwort-trial.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2012. I did try that mugwort flying ointment again, after I journeyed to talk with the plant herself; it worked this time, very definitely. It brings a very. Different quality to the visions I experience, however. There is a very sharp clarity to things, an edge and a harshness, almost. It's also just a damned spooky plant. I found that during the vision, and for a couple days afterwards, I was seeing things out of the corner of my eye all the time. That worked, for some time....

Haegtesse: Ratty
http://haegtesse.blogspot.com/2013/07/ratty.html
Friday, July 26, 2013. He's got an abrasion on his cornea; it looks to be healing well so far, but the vet gave me some drops to put in his eyes to help things along. Why am I telling this story here on the hedgewitch blog? Because that second medication is atropine. Which is one of the main poisons in belladonna, the deadly nightshade plant, otherwise known as the. And there's Ratty, a walking Mercury retrograde of feline health (oh my god this cat), taking belladonna. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Haegtesse: Queen Anne's Lace
http://haegtesse.blogspot.com/2012/09/queen-anne-lace.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2012. I have been following along with Christopher Penczak's The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft. So this month the lesson in part has been about plants, and journeying to find the 'medicine' they have for you. I have some problems with that terminology because it does strike me as appropriative of Native American traditions; however there isn't really an equivalent word in English that has all the nuances of it used in that context, so. Flower. It's more or less a fractal, wit...
