Magick Peace Dove Welcomes In Ostara Festival

We held several very important rituals this week and one was to celebrate Ostara which was on March 20th. Using Dove energy in a ritual brings peace, calmness and order. Doves are determined and intelligent little bird and they have real substance in the physical world, so it is a shame they are not taken more seriously and often only seen as 'playthings' to be released at weddings and concerts which surely is undermining to them as they have a right to be free and peaceful creatures of the earth they fly over.

Cathay Lodge, Hong Kong - Replicas Of Former Lodge Regalia

When I obtained the replica pieces, I was also sent provenance in the form of these original Cathay Lodge documents that once belonged to the Masonic Lodge who met in Hong Kong in 1964. I would imagine the Grand Master wore the big piece shown in the photograph and the other important officials most likely made use of the smaller pieces in their ceremonies.These days the Masonic Meeting Hall looks to have been turned in to apartments.

Fantasy Mystic Realm Owl Spirits

In this particular ceremony three owls came through who were indeed very much like the owl in the well known series of books and films, called Hedwig. One of the owls took a fancy to this ring.

Misty Witches Stang with Light In The Dark Night

The branches and light positioning make a perfect witches stang, shown in the picture above. A stang is essentially two points like horns and a candle is fitted in between the two. Some people use horseshoes to make a stang by nailing one to a handle. Stangs are used in ceremonies generally.

Outdoor Spells In The Deep Of The Night

Both these rituals were performed outdoors last week and also include offerings. Offerings are an important part of any ritual or spell work. If we get some wine, before having any ourselves, we always put a small amount out for the spirits. It is just good etiquette!

Mystic Moon In The Trees

This picture was taken during the night-time hours and shows the moon as a beautiful pure white orb set against a grey and black background of the bare trees. The moon shows her true magickal magnificence here.

The Tridents, The Lights, The Shells And Everything Else

This spell works with a whole host of items and also, more importantly, it works with what lies behind these items. The caterpillar becomes a chrysalis, which in turn becomes a butterfly. The ring has no beginning and no end and therefore represents the Circle Of Life. The tridents represent the planet Neptune which is also connected to the sea glass and the shell. The charm represents spiritual energy and the lights represent action and warmth. This is part of a power generator action spell and was performed outdoors. The plate is touching the outside ground.

Sea Loofahs Magick Element Spell

This particular spell uses sea loofahs - this is because of their connection to the element of water. The lights bring the element of fire and they are touching the ground outside, where a gentle breeze brings in the element of air. this is a particularly good empowerment or grounding spell.

Black Magic Valentine's Day

Yes, it is Black Magic time again as Valentine's Day approaches. As you will note, there is a box of Black Magic chocolates in the picture. Well what did you think we meant?!
The Black Goat seems very happy anyway :)

Chinese Spring Festival And The Mushroom House

These pictures celebrate the Chinese Spring Festival. the mushrooms and peppers offerings were photographed outside in the middle of the night, whilst it was actually raining quite heavily.

Horned Flowers And Tomatoes Offering

This is a special offering made of tomatoes and flowers. Offerings can be made to all manner of spiritual entities for many different reasons. Offerings are a big part of spell work too.

Intriguing And Unusual Spell

Here is a picture of an unusual spell that was done for someone who had a special request. Spells can be put together in many different formats.

The Blacker Than Black Red Moon Of January

This is a photo we took of the blood super moon from January this year, near totality. The moon seemed to be dark red and very brooding, which kind of fitted in with the very cold January night. The  dark feel of the moon gave the impression she had plenty of secrets well hidden form planet earth.
