Thorns

Uses in magic:

When doing a spell to help separate yourself from someone or to banish them, using a thorn to represent them can be a powerful metaphor.

If you do blood magic, use the thorn (AFTER THOROUGHLY CLEANING IT) to lightly prick your side. Another powerful metaphor.

If you are doing a hex jar that requires shaking, these are good additives to it.

Symbolism:

Can represent a person who is causing you pain and suffering

Can represent a hardship.

Can represent physical/emotional pain

That sounds lovely. Honestly, I'm not even Wiccan but I love Scott Cunningham's recipes, he really knows his stuff.

I’m running a public Ostara ritual in a few weeks and I’ve just made an incense for it. It may come across as a bit cliché but I used Scott Cunningham’s recipe, with frankincense, benzoin, dragon’s blood, nutmeg, orange peel, rose petals, and violet. Why, you may ask? Because I think a lot of Scott’s recipes work out really well and usually smell good.

I ended up substituting the violets with a violet-scented frankincense that a fellow priest brought back for me from Greece, and the final blend is rich and floral at first, then intensely resinous with a bitter herbal undertone (presumably from the rose petals and orange peel) to finish. The nutmeg adds a tiny bit of warmth to it and the violet fragrance lingers once the smoke has dissipated. I rather like it and I hope others will too.

Sorry for not clarifying! I meant, what are your thoughts on Wicca relating to witchcraft? Like, do you believe it’s legit?

Unless if you’re a traditional witch (and even then, the line gets thin), Wicca is likely the ancestor of your witchcraft. Wicca caused the re-emergence of witchcraft in the public. It is the backbone behind all of the movements that have happened. When most people write about tools, they write with Wiccan beliefs, even if they don’t know it. The athame? A Wiccan tool.When people write about the Wheel of the Year, that’s something that became popularized by Wicca. Anything with the words ‘The Goddess’ referring to an overarching female deity? Wiccan. Now, trad craft is a little different. There are many traditional witches who came to trad craft after leaving Wicca, some who did the opposite, etc. Traditional witchcraft is a reconstruction of pre-Wiccan witchcraft, meaning that it majorly excludes things that are singular about Wicca. There are some traditions that look very similar to Wicca, but are not Wicca. There are some traditions completely removed from Wicca. Either way, Wicca definitely spurred the growth of traditional witchcraft, as it was a gateway for many witches to find witchcraft in the first place, no matter if they stayed or moved on from it. I personally never went the Wiccan route. I definitely practiced modern witchcraft, heavily influenced by Wicca, but I didn’t stay there and it was very much not for me. For others, it’s good. They just need to know where they come from. Wicca in the beginning was not what Wicca is portrayed to be now. Many of the so called ‘rules’ didn’t exist in the early days. However, whether someone wishes to be involved with Wicca, like the early days or like now, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m not Wiccan, so it’s none of my business. I’ve known some brilliant witches and practitioners who are Wiccan. I don’t think that being Wiccan means that the person is uneducated in witchcraft. It only denotes a different approach to an age old set of concepts.

Am I missing something? 😅 both altars look lovely?

After getting half a dozen compliments on a photo of her altar, this is what Gemma Gary posts.

Because remember kids, it’s okay and cool to make fun of other people’s altars and the way they practice their craft.

I never would have pegged Gemma Gary as the type to pull this nonsense, but then after seeing the public argument between her and Cassandra Latham again, maybe I should have. I’ve been moving away from Gemma’s material more and more as of late, and this is really a straw that breaks the camel’s back. I don’t care how many books you have out or how cool and edgy your altar may look, there’s truly no need for this crap.

Not cool, Gemma. Not cool.
