As I turn my thoughts to Fall, I find that I need to look at things to inspire me about the upcoming season. I thought it appropriate to do a witch post since I haven't done one in a long time. This is one of my witch cups.
An altar. Alters can be created using all sorts of things. Their purpose is inspiration.
A rare Hubley bronze witch bookend and vintage brass witch napkin rings.
Sally's umbrella from 'Practical Magic' leans against my fireplace.
A magic wand, made for me, by a witch in Salem.
A couple of my crows. And for those of you who wonder why a pagan has so many crosses in her house:
The surprising thing is that the Christian use of the cross did not
begin until the time of Constantine, three centuries after Christ.
Archaeologists have not found any Christian use of the symbol before
that time. According to one writer (W. E. Vine,
Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, article "Cross"), the cross as a "Christian" symbol was taken directly from the pagans. The cross is found in both pre-Christian and non-Christian cultures.”
Various other authorities have linked the cross with nature worship and
pagan sex rites. Why, then, was this pagan symbol promoted? Apparently, to make it easier for pagans to accept “Christianity.”
Two vintage Westmoreland glass witch balls. The hole in the top of these glass orbs attracts negative energy from the home.
A collection of my spell books. (Click for a closer look.)
