SIERPINSKI TRIANGLE... Sacred Geometry

You start by drawing 3 points in the shape of a triangle. The SIERPINSKI TRIANGLE is a fractal or geometric figure in which similar patterns progressively occur on smaller scales.

The Faerie Star

The seven-pointed star or Faerie Star is an emerging symbol in contemporary magick. It is most often used to represent the worlds of Faerie. It can be displayed as a protective shield, a powerful talisman, a focal point for meditation, or a symbol of the Shining Realms.

The seven-pointed star is called a septagram, septegram, or heptagram. This glyph has had mystical associations for centuries, probably longer, since the number seven is important in many spiritual traditions around the world.

Medieval alchemists used the seven-pointed star to stand for the seven alchemical metals and their corresponding planets. But it can also stand for the seven colors, the seven days of the week, the seven musical notes, the Seven Sisters (Pleiades), the seven chakras, or any of the many sacred things that come in groups of seven. In Hermetic Qabalah, the septagram can represent the sphere of Netzach and the corresponding planet of Venus. Aleister Crowley also chose a septagram as the Seal of Babylon, the Great Mother and Sacred Whore of Thelema.

The septagram, because it has an odd number of points, can be traced in a continuous line. Its unbroken form helps give the star its identity as a symbol of eternity.

The Faerie Star is most often shown as a continuous figure with elongated points. No one can really say how or when the motif became incorporated into modern Paganism, but it is now a common sight in books, on jewelry, and on altar tools. Many practitioners use the Faerie Star instead of, or in addition to, the familiar five-pointed pentagram. Some say that the seven-pointed star reflects planetary (celestial) magick, while the pentagram encompasses magick of the elements and the earth.

Many Moons she spent

Warm and all--

Alone

Watching her friends

Watch the shadows.

Many days she wasted

Blowing smoke in faces

But still

They watched

The shadows.

Undeterred but impatient

She counted down the days till'

She set fire to the cave and--

Watched it

Burn.

Why I Spell Magick With A 'K'

I've seen a lot of back and forth over the years regarding the spelling of the word 'magick'. I figured it's about time I explain my reasons for refusing to drop the 'K' despite the occasional backlash. To me, 'magic' and 'magick' are two completely different things. Magic is a stage magician pulling a rabbit out of their hat. Magic is something whimsical and wonderous, like a rainbow unicorn or a vivid sunset.

Magick with a 'K' intends to convey the art and science of causing change to occur in conformity with one's own will and intentions. It's been around since the 1600's, it wasn't popularized by Aleister Crowley until the late 20th century. Regardless of how you feel about the man, Crowley was strongly influenced by Qabalah and Gematria, ancient mystical systems known for highlighting the importance of numerology and grammar. 'K' is the 11th letter of the alphabet, 11 represents divine connections and the power to manifest one's will. Adding 'K' to magick changed the spelling from 5 letters to 6, 6 being the number of unconditional love, nature, temperance, creativity, the hexagram, and the planet Venus.

Magick is a word of power, an ancient spell in and of itself. It hasn't ever had any other meaning and its a word made to physically and spiritually represent witches and practioners of the craft. To desregard it is to disregard not only the history, but also the legitimacy and seriousness of the craft.

In summary, do what works for you in the end, but you probably shouldn't reject an entire word because someone you don't agree with used it. That's just putting unnecessary limits on yourself and your potential.
