Out of the Darkness and into the Light

Hello fellow Witches!!

I've been busy working on my Book and have a few updates for you!! I hope that some of you (well ALL of you!) have seen my craft on creating your own Book of Shadows and now have your very own Book. I wanted to start mine with the Sabbats, but I did not want to skip ahead and just fill in the book, I wanted to fill in the pages while experiencing the Sabbats! So with Samhain and Yule both over, here are two video clips of the pages from my Book. Hopefully this gives you some great ideas!

Samhain

Yule

Each section has info on the Sabbat itself, the correspondences for each Sabbat, a deity that I have chosen to work with, extra lore about the Sabbat, divination for that specific time of year, crafts, recipes and a page of something special (For Samhain it was a page on ghosts, for Yule it was a page on Between the Years magic).

I am currently working on the borders for Imbolc, which I am rather excited about. Normally I am not an imbolc fan (it WAS my least favorite Sabbat), but I am embracing it this year!! I have been gathering a lot of information for my sabbats not only though my own experiences, but also through some books: Llewellyn's Yule, Samhain & Imbolc, Starhawks Circle Round and some fabulous books from Ami McKay, Alice Hoffman and Sarah Addison Allen.

This past Dark Moon I made another batch of Black Salt for our local Ghost Hunter. I made up a huge batch of it so that he will hopefully not need anymore until the summer months (it's a little nippy out there at midnight even in front of a roaring fire)

My daughter is showing huge amounts of interest in all things witchery, so I am coming up with ways to include her in my workings and teach her that we are not hollywood witches. I am sure my boys are interested too but are not as vocal as she is lol, but I will be finding ways on teaching them as well. I know Circle Round has some great ideas on how to include everyone, but I need to come up with ways that are more from my beliefs. Ways in which make sense to me. Everything I do has a base of not only the earth, the sun and the universe involved, but of my very essence as well.

I've just ordered Llewellyn's Daily Book of Spells for 2019, I wish I had ordered it earlier, but it should be here by Friday! I am looking for some other new reads for spelling, so if you've got some favs let me know.

January's Full Moon is coming up. The Wolf Moon. I have a great page for her with lots of info on the Wolf Moon and on things to do for her. So try to check that out.

That's all for now
