Description:

Very near to him like north he glitters of white and blue but holds the same darkness that envelops west,-ope I already have a pic of him as a wolf like all of them his eyes are very piercing and likely one of the first things you noticing his seem to glow in rings of bluish colors and golds, a being of destruction and protection much like the wolf fiercely protective of those who are close to him and quick tempered, well mannered like north a level headed leader when he needs to be but quick to snap. Sliver seems to glitter and shine around him especially as a wolf it's like the tips of his black fur are coated lightly in it enough to make light shine off him, associations to the moon (I wonder why) a warriors spirit, closely associated to the sea as well or seafaring and exploration.

North said “that although he look smart, it’s an aesthetic. so don’t be fooled” or something along those lines, paraphrasing right now

There is a pack of wolves he travels with, but he does have a wolf animal form. It’s a blend between the thunder and the wispiness of the pictures above.

Residence/Palace:

It’s very reminiscent to the forests of Northwestern U.S. but also the Canadian forests (Boreal Forests). He doesn’t have a palace per say, more like a secured area that he spends alone time in. He’s an adventurer, a nomad even, he explores and is on “the hunt” always. His “base” is close by a open body of water, unsure if it’s a lake or an ocean. Which ties into his seafaring, and water associations. Tall dark evergreen, pine, more commonly and abundantly spruce. 

Correspondences:

Days of the Week:

Monday - Northwest has strong associations and ties to the Moon due to the wolf symbolism. Because of this, the Moon is known to rule over emotions and intuition. To work with Northwest’s energy more on Mondays, tie into the current moon phase (research moon phase meanings) and set up a to-do list for Tuesday. This would be the stock up supplies, check inventory, and set plans to tackle adventuring and the rest of the week. Don’t let the day slip by, and make use of the time you have. Tomorrow is the day of action, so set plans today.

Tuesday - Mar’s day, the day of action, movement, and direction. If yesterday was using the base with Northwest, today is the first day of movement and energy. Set forth with the plans, set your sights on your goals. Focus, and drive toward them with as much energy as you can muster. Get the large and scary tasks on the to-do list done today! You’ll have the most momentum and energy behind you to back you up.

Special Days:

2, 4, 6

Spring months: March - May

Spring (Vernal) Equinox - Typically March 20th

Lunar Eclipses

Lyrics Meteor Shower - April 22, 23

Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower - May 6, 7

Elements:

Water - Primary

Earth - Secondary

Numbers:

2, 4, 6 - Based off my personal associations

2 - Start laying the groundwork for new ideas. 2’s come in pairs so expect another event, or an idea to follow. The second day in the week is Tuesday, which follows along with his days of the week segment. Pair/partnerships, connection, building ideas up, balance, choice/decisions, possibilities, flexibility, prioritization, multi-tasking, perseverance

4 - Means something is complete or it needs to become complete, joining numbers together create some form of wholeness. bold action, structure, reevaluation, completion/coming to completion, connection, corrections, order

6 - the even odd number, manifestations are starting to come into fruition, keep being generous to those around you and expect the same in return. Manifestations, fruition, generosity, nostalgia, kindness, emotional intelligence, compassion, luck, destiny, cycles, a breakthrough, devotion

Colors:

Earthy tones, black, gray, silver, grayish blues

Planet:

Moon, Uranus

Moon - Has the most emotional connection to us. Controller of the tides, and since bodies have water in them, also controller of humanity (in some senses). The phases, and position of the Moon are very important in many cases. The Moon is the reflection of the illumination of the Sun, working alongside Earth’s shadow. The Moon in many cases is feminine, so it’s an interesting choice for Northwest. However, this is due to the wolf symbolism within himself. Working alongside the moon phases, is very important to Northwest. From Labyrinthos, the Moon is also responsible for the unconscious mind, instincts, habits, moods, and creativity. The most important for Northwest is instincts, and habits. The transit time for the Moon in astrological signs is 2-3 days, very reminiscent about how much a traveler he is. Not spending much time in one location for too long before moving onto the next.

Uranus - At first I didn’t understand his reasoning for Uranus, following suit of his days of the week I thought the secondary choice was going to be Mars. The revolution period of Uranus is slow, given it’s distance from the Sun. It’s rotation time instead though is surprisingly quick. A general consensus about Uranus, is that it’s an individual planet, on its lonesome, and rebellious. Known for eccentricity, unpredictable changes, rebellion, reformation, invention, creation, and futuristic. Freedom and creativity are important to this planet, as well as Northwest. I think this is more of a hidden characteristic about him, but it makes a lot of sense. Although wolves are known to be pack animals, in many modern adaptions they are taken on as loners. Northwest doesn’t and does go with eh flow, but sometimes the flow is very harmful and there has to be rebellion and change. That’s where he comes into play. Forward thinking, and agile.

Offerings & Devotional Acts:

Shufflemancy, however when I let him take my playlist away: A lot of Mitski, Seventeen (Kpop), Taylor Swift, and Metal Music played. He has a large variety of music, best bet is to make a huge playlist of songs and allow him to play what he wants. Limiting him to certain genres is not his style.

He really likes: Seven by Taylor Swift, Push It by Static-X, Welcome to the Jungle by Guns & Roses, and Waiting Room by Phoebe Bridgers.

Playlists:

Honor his special days

Make to-do lists

Connect with ancestors, or local nature spirits

Learn and research the moon phases, then apply that knowledge

Water witchcraft: Water Scrying, Water spirits, different types of Water

Swimming

Learn something your interested in, then apply knowledge; “Learn and do, knowledge not being applied or shared is wasteful”

Finding connections that are long-standing “Found family” in a way

Protection spells, Warding, Banishment

Conservation efforts for engendered wildlife

Catch and release fishing

Spending time in nature - spend time in a forest, go barefoot occasionally (be careful of germs though)

Planting herbs or berries and using them (resourcefulness)

Being on the move, and resting

Connecting with your inner child

Illusions - North made a comment that “he seems smarter than he seems” so although dishonest acting one way yo advance your position but having connections that you can allow yourself to not keep the illusions up

Planting trees

Learn self-defense

Help animals in need if you can

Plant native plants in your area, plant plants for pollinators as well

Watch wolf, or any wildlife, nature documentaries

Go on a spontaneous adventure

Make your own tools for your craft, be resourceful!

Do more things at night (if you can, please rest though if necessary)

Learn constellations, and how they aided different cultures in their respective contexts (historical use of constellations, and luminaries in the sky)

Spread awareness for things your passionate about, use your voice. Rebel against authorities and systems that oppress people

Celebrate the Spring Equinox

Berry Skittles - Purple, Green, Blue

Spend time with dogs

Altar Suggestions:

Cloth or Animal Pelt (make this is sourced ethically)

Bones - ethically sourced, even better if associations are tied

Oddities related to life, death, water, animals, wildlife

Tools made by the practitioner

Have the altar be facing Northwest

Candles with herbs associated with them

Wolf, or other animal imagery

Dried/pressed roses

Strawberry plant

Apples, Pears

Wood

Items foraged from outside (do it respectfully, and safely; know what you’re taking from the Earth and give an appropriate offering back)

Any crystals, flora, or anything associated with him

Wards and Protection symbols, or even your own protection spells

Incense, or Oil Diffuser with scents correlating to him

Offering dishes/bowls - I find that he loves water (ofc) so keeping a chalice or bowl (wolf form) of water out for him is appreciated

Terrariums - find and use moss, get creative with the woods and nature

Artwork you have made, he enjoys creativity

That is all the documented information that we have on Northwest currently 🐺

Another Dracula quote? Yes, it is! Dracula, who commands the wolves and even shapeshifts into one. And what music they make!

In our shop

[paaxindigenouswitchcraft]

Christians or should I say the church (Catholic) do not celebrate Saint Valentine's Day or even acknowledge it on their calendar as they do not believe he was a saint and they call the holiday a Pagan festival (because it is actually Lupercalia.)

Alot of priests frown upon any of their members who celebrate the day.

Saint Valentine's Day gets it's name from a priest called Valentine, who was performing secret marriages so young men didn't have to go to war (married men who were drafted at that time didn't have to go to war.)

When he was found out, he was sent to prison to be beheaded by the church for his crimes.

While in prison awaiting his fate he fell in love with a girl, they passed notes to each other and on the notes they signed them anonymous to keep their love secret (because it is a sin in the eyes of the church for a priest to enter into a lustful relationship.) This is why Saint Valentine's cards are originally sent anonymously.

(These are actually only made up stories in order to take pagan holidays down. None of any of the stories of "Saint Valentine" are historically acurate.)

Happy Lupercalia!

Autumn Dark Moon Wolf theme for either wallpaper or something else, may it be something that is a little more useful if I can find the time. Though, for the time being felt like it needed to be done with one of red eyes rather than any other colors to bring forth the light of the new moon in its dark furs. 🐺

[childofthewolvess]

YES! I actually had two imaginary friends that were wolves. I remember being very young and thinking I could SEE THEM, one memory of looking down at one of them curled up in the space of my desk at my feet. I was a highly imaginative child, but drawn to seeing these two wolves in particular. I didn’t meet them again until I was 18, practicing witchcraft, and one of them reached out to me as a spirit guide. Today, these two wolves are my familiars, sent to me by ancestors who have been at my side my whole life. As a kid, I could see them - and they grew up with me.

Question for those who work with deities. Did any of you have imaginary friends growing up that you would talk to on a regular basis that now seem oddly similar to the deities you work with? I remember I had a couple imaginary friends while growing up and now I'm seeing interesting similarities between them and the deities I work with (I will admit, I had imaginary friends until I was about 16.).

That got me thinking, that maybe they had been there the whole time, but didn't make themselves known yet until I was a grown up. Maybe they knew at that time that I wasn't ready for full fledged deity work, and that I needed time to discover myself first and work through things.

Has anyone else thought of this or have this happen? Just curious.
