Merry meet everyone,
So this year I have a great plan for my samhain celebration. I have been thinking about this for a while and I really am looking forward to celebrating samhain this year. First of all I have made my magic doll, I did this a couple of days ago because I didn't think I would have samhain off to do so on the day. So making this doll was actually really fun. I have never made a magic doll before so I really enjoyed making this one. I just cut the pieces out and blessed and cleansed them to make sure no negative energies surrounded the fabric. I then sewed the pieces together and stuffed the doll with straw and lavender herbs. I then sewed all around the doll again to make sure its perfectly sewed. I blessed it again and I plan on adding decorations to my doll once the items are delivered. I have also booked my first tattoo on samhain. I have been dancing around the idea of getting a pentagram tattoo either on my arm or chest for a long time, well over a year. The reason why it has taken me to long was to get this done or book it as I haven't gotten it done yet, is because I am so scared of needles. I thought what better time to kick a fear in the butt and also get my pentagram tattoo than on samhain, my new year. I am hoping that the gods and goddesses give me strength that I can get this done perfectly and I have the will power to have it done even with my anxiety and fear of needles. I will be getting it done in the afternoon of samhain which is why I am writing this post a day early so there is a post that goes up. I will do a update on the tattoo if I dont chicken out which i better not do and what it looks like once its done. I am excited and scared all at the same time. My best friend is coming with me to get it done as shes had them done herself and she suffers from anxiety like me but she swears its not as bad as my head is telling me. I am also going to have a new box review soon its been shipped and I am just waiting for it to be delivered. If it comes before samhain then you might be blessed with two posts. I do hope you all enjoy your samhain or Halloween and I wish all my sisters and brothers a happy new beginnings. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet, Todays question is - do you have/how did you find a matron/patron? For me this means did I have a teacher for my crafts someone who brought me into my world and onto my path. For that yes and no. I was brought on my path by my mother the first time. She taught me what she thought was needed but not the whole aspect. She put my foot in the door if you will and I did learn a lot from her but I never really understood it until I did my own research. As many of you may know I lost my path in 2012 when I was attacked by my mother. I lost faith more than anything so when I got help back in 2017 I reconnected with my path. I have learned more about myself as a person since then than I have in my whole life following the path. I personally believe that because I reconnected to my path on my own I understand it better and I have a new found respect for everyone on this path. Where as the first time it was wishes of my mother not of myself. If you understand what I mean thats great, if not ill try to explain. When I was younger I was put on this path because my mother willed it. She taught me what she believed I should know and didn't give any context on why. When I joined the path on my own I learned more about the path I was on because I had context. I understood what it was meant to be on this path. I will always be thankful of what my mother taught me but I do believe I learned more on my own than what I learn from her. This isn't always the case when you have a teacher in the craft but I don't think my mother was a good teacher in that front because she wasn't always there in spirit if you understand. She dealt with a lot of personal demons and thats what took her over in the end. Or thats the nicest way of seeing it anyway. Overall I don't think you need a teacher for going on this path but if you have one use them. They will be there to help you understand aspects that you don't yet. I hope you enjoyed todays post and I will see you next week with another. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, So for samhain this year I have decided to start a new book of shadows. Samhain for us pagans and some witches is our new year. Not everyone follows these traditions but I have always followed them. Its why I have decided to start a new book of shadows from samhain on-wards. As you can see from the image this book of shadows is a lot bigger than my one from this year. I still will be working in my old book of shadows because I still have some pages left that I have plans for. But the bigger one will be for my more informational pages. I have planned to have more pages per sabbat so I can build upon the information and blessings I will refer to each sabbat and I just love the idea of having all my information in one place and neatly. I love having the space to work in too, this book is just bigger than an A4 sheet. This means I have more room to design my pages and also more room to have my information on each page. I love my smaller book of shadows because Its easy to carry with you and take on walks with nature. I wont be able to do this with my bigger one but it does also mean I can have more information and hopefully this following witch year will be a great way to learn more and store what I do learn. I have always said you can never stop learning new aspects of magic because its ever growing and always evolving. I brought this book of shadows at the beginning of October so I knew it would be delivered in time for samhain. I still don't know if I will be off on samhain this year or in work but if I am in work than I will have to celebrate it on one of my days off. I haven't planned anything as of yet for samhain because of this but I do plan on doing something special as always. Next week post falls on samhain so I think I may do something that connects with the sabbat. I hope you have all worked out what you will be leaving behind this samhain and what your new goal will be. I am still thinking about my new goal but what I really want to leave behind this year on samhain is my past. I have done this for the last couple of years and it has helped and I will continue to do so until it isnt a burden on me anymore. I hope you enjoyed todays post and I will speak to you all in the next one. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet, So today's question is - How do you view sacred texts/mythology? For me personally I don't really follow much on the mythology side. When I think of mythology I think of the werewolfs and demons that I do see many follow and worship. That isn't for me personally. I follow mother earth which some may think thats mythology. I think it just depends on the person you ask. I have done some posts about gods from other mythology that I do connect with and I find that really interesting but for me I wont change the way I think to fit that box. When it comes to sacred texts again that depends on who your asking. For me I believe my book of shadows is sacred and I will treat it with great respect. I would of thought sacred texts would go along the lines of like the bible which again doesn't effect me or my path. I know many witches that do follow sacred texts and again mythology a like but for me personally my path doesn't really have either or thats my view anyway. Someone could look at what I do and put it in that box. I hope you enjoyed todays post and I will see you next week with another question. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, So Last week I went to Liverpool to look for a new coat. It was my mission to get a warm coat this year as the coat I had was more a rain jacket. Anyway as I was in Liverpool I had to go check my favourite shop magic willow. When I was going through her shop I saw this beautiful pendulum board. I knew it was on my list of items I wanted for christmas but for £4.80 I couldn't pass it up. I just love the galaxy look of the background and the fact it includes both days of the week and also the star signs. Not sure what they are for yet as I haven't really looked into pendulum boards yet because I wanted one to learn along side my learning of what they can do. A friend of mine loves hers which inspired me to get my own. I just really love this board and I am really looking forward to learning how to use it. I hope you enjoyed this little post and I will see you in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, So this week will be a fun one and one thats close to my heart. We will be talking about tarot cards. Now I love tarot cards I use them all the time and its my go to tool to get answers I need help with. In fact I was at one point thinking of doing month tarot card posts but that may be an idea for next year. Now there are many different decks you could get, I would personally get the one that calls out to you. For I believe they would work better for you because you already have a connection with them. I personally have many different decks that I use for different things depending on what I want to ask and why. I personally would do the three card pull which is the past, present and future cards. I find they dont dance around the answer and gives you a clear idea on what you need to do. If I need to get a more in depth answer I will then do a bigger read such as the nine card pull or others that may connect better with the question I am asking. Theres many apps and books out there that can help a beginner get a hang on the cards and if this is the tool you would like to use, I believe its the easiest one to get the handle on. I hope you found this post interesting and I will see you in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet, So todays question is - what are your cultural influences? Well for me I take everything from around me and from history to help influence my future and also the path I am on. I take bits and bobs from everywhere to help make me a better person and also its a way of life I am happy to follow. For example I will never do dark magic within my craft because I personally don't agree with that sort of craft. I believe karma is a b***h and that if you put out negative energy into the world it will come back even worse. I also believe that theres an after life where you are judged on what you do on earth within your time. The people you meet and effect, the paths you take, the lessons you learn it all effects the world and how your life path will turn out. I believe we are all put on the earth to learn a set of lessons and each time you pass your either one step closer to being happy forever in 'haven' or the after life or your reborn to learn the lessons you haven't completed yet. I am influenced by mother earth and nature, the way we as humankind treat her is horrific. Shes there to look after us, to give us a home and what do we do treat her like shite. I try to make sure my household leads a life where we help look after mother earth. I say try because my boyfriend is a little be harder to get to do things haha. Overall my cultural influences are all over the place. I learn from history, I learn from past mistakes and I will continue to learn in the future. The cultural influence around my craft is as mix -matched as my overall influences. I hope you enjoyed today's post and I will see you next week with another question. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, So we have been waiting for this post for a while and it brings me much sadness to say that this pagan parcel review and un-boxing will be my last one from this company. I have really enjoyed this box this year and I didn't want it to end like this but with all the bad events that had happened trying to get the august box and then again with this box being late. I just have lost faith in them a bit. I am not saying I will never go back to them but I think I should spend this time trying new boxes and also seeing if theres any that are as good or even better than this box. Anyway lets start this review, I will give you a heads up and say that its items for samhain thats in this box.
Overall, this months box was a good one, I am sad it will be my last one for now but I am looking forward to other pagan subscription boxes and to see how they do things. I have already found one thats UK based and has only just started up which means all reviews will help her out. I hopefully will get one of those boxes and do a review on that one.
This months pagan parcel was samhain based and I really enjoyed it. I love getting pendulums and I am actaully thinking of having mine on display on my altar because I am getting a good collection of them now. I love the magic doll kit, I really can't wait to make this doll. I love the monthly items too because they do come in handy and if you use items as much as I do you do need a top up. I hope you enjoyed this months pagan parcel, I am sorry to say its the last box for now as I will be trying other boxes but I may go back to these in the future once everything is settled. I will see you in the next post, Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, So this weeks post is about dowsing. Like last weeks post was about scrying I thought I should do a post about dowsing. As its October and this is the month to connect with the other side we need to know what tools will help us do this. I personally love dowsing. I love the energy my dowsing tool has and I just love using them. This may be a small post but hopefully it will be effective and helpful to you all. Pendulums can be made from brass, wood or crystal. I personally use crystal pendulums because the energy is just amazing that comes off them. A pendulum has to have a string or chain that is long enough to move easily. As with many tools you use within your craft you should buy the pendulum that speaks to you because it wants to work with you. Training your pendulum can be hard. You need to connect with your pendulum for it to answer your questions correctly. If you don't then you won't get clear answers. First you need to start with yes questions, ask it questions you know the answer will be yes. Then you start with no questions, ask it questions you know the answer will be no. Search and silly questions are your next focus. Search is often a wide swing and silly often is a small swing. Once you are happy with your pendulum you should be ready to use it with your questions. I hope you all have fun with your pendulums this month and I will see you next week with another post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet friends,
This weeks question is, what does this time of year mean to you? Well is October so its the middle of autumn. I love autumn is my favourite season. Being able to walk within nature and see the world turn into the beautiful colours of reds and browns. The world getting ready for the colder season that follows. Being able to drink hot chocolate and having to wrap up warm with blankets and snuggling with your other half watching a film.I just love autumn. For the witchy side its all about candles, and drinking teas to make you stay warm. I dont know what else I can say this is one. I am getting ready for samhain and then yule its all about prep at this moment of time haha. What does this time of year mean to you all? I hope you liked my post today and I will see you next week. Blessed be x MissDoomie x |
