T'u que caminas en las sombras buscando los misterios y lo oculto. Bendito se'ais.
Seguimos con la celebraci'on. Recuerdo al Esbat se puede decir alg'un tipo especial de dedicatoria. Cuando van a empezar las actividades M'agicas es buena idea recitar:
La Runa de las Brujas
Oscura noche y brillante luna,
este y sur oeste y norte:
Escuchad de las Brujas la Runa,
y que mi alma la magia porte.
Tierra y agua, aire y fuego,
Varita pent'aculo y espada:
Trabajad en mi ruego,
y escuchad mi llamada.
Velas e incienso, caliz y cuchillo,
poderes de la daga del brujo:
Levantaos en vida yo os lo pido,
venid y ayudad en mi embrujo.
Reina del Cielo y la Tierra,
Astado cazador de la Oscuridad:
Enviad vuestros poderes a mi reino,
y haced verdad mi voluntad.
Por el poder de la tierra y el mar,
por la fuerza del sol y la luna:
As'i es mi deseo, y as'i hecho ser'a,
cantando de las brujas la runa.
Hay una conjuraci'on que se puede hacer antes de la recitaci'on de la runa o en otro momento. Es 'util pro que se pude decir danzando al redor del c'irculo o bien brincando el fuego central.
Eko, eko arazak.
Eko, eko, zomilak.
Eko, eko, cernnunos.
Eko, eko, Aradia.
M'as adelante veremos la danza y espiral y otros procedimientos para juntar vibraciones. En este momento se cuando se hacen las labores M'agicas.
RITUAL DEL PAN Y LA CERVEZA
En el altar con las manos en alto decir:
"Celebrad, bebed, comer y amar, en el nombre de la Diosa, os presento esta ofrenda en agradecimiento."
"Agraciada se~nora de la abundancia, bendice este vino e inf'undele tu amor, que represente la comuni'on contigo."
Toma el Athame y ve meti'endolo en el c'aliz de manera vertical. Debes sentir las vibraciones intensamente, muchas veces se hace sin decir nada, peor es bueno decir algo para que se avive el fuego de amor en ti.
"As'i como el Athame es masculino, el C'aliz femenino. !juntos forman una sola cosa!."
Despu'es tomad un poco de vino y pasarlo a la congregaci'on (las vibraciones de este vino son altamente sexuales).
Tomad la bandeja de panecillos y di:
"Oh reina de los secretos, bendice este alimento, inf'undele tu amor, que represente la comuni'on contigo."
Toma un panecillo y come, en el caso de congregaciones el compa~nero de alado da un beso a su compa~nero, toma un panecillo y lo introduce en la boca de este, acto seguido le da la charola a este y el proceso se repite. Lo mismo se hace con el vino, se le da un beso al compa~nero y se le da el c'aliz para que beba.
Se pueden hacer muchas cosas todav'ia, meditar, cantar, etc. Despu'es de eso se Abre el c'irculo:
Con la varita ve al este y mientras formas un pentagrama de destierro di:
"Esp'iritus del Este, Hadas del Aire, puras e inspiradoras. Os agradezco por venir a este lugar de Magia. En amor y perfecta confianza partid en paz."
Con la varita ve al este y mientras formas un pentagrama de destierro di:
"Esp'iritus del Este, Hadas del fuego, fuertes y pasionales. Os agradezco por venir a este lugar de Magia. En amor y perfecta confianza partid en paz."
Con la varita ve al sur y mientras formas un pentagrama de destierro di:
"Esp'iritus del Este, Hadas del Agua, limpias y so~nadoras. Os agradezco por venir a este lugar de Magia. En amor y perfecta confianza partid en paz."
Con la varita ve al oeste y mientras formas un pentagrama de destierro di:
"Esp'iritus del Este, Hadas de la Tierra, sabias y f'ertiles. Os agradezco por venir a este lugar de Magia. En amor y perfecta confianza partid en paz."
En el centro:
"se~nores de la oscuridad os agradezco por venir. En perfecto Amor y confianza partir."
"Dios que anuncias el principio y fin de la noche. Os agradezco tu presencia en este lugar. Bendecido se'ais"
"Gran Dama de la oscuridad, Gran Diosa de os misterios ocultos, se~nora de la muerte y el renacimiento agradezco tu presencia en este lugar. Bendecida se'ais, mi se~nora"
Apagad las velas de elementales y de los Dioses. Recoged el circulo esfera como vimos antes. Y di:
"como entre en este c'irculo, as'i en perfecto Amor y perfecta confianza lo dejo"
"El c'irculo est'a abierto peor no por ello perturbado como arriba (apunta arriba), abajo es tambi'en (toca el suelo con la punta del Athame)."
"Feliz partida, para feliz reencuentro"
Felicidades has hecho un c'irculo M'agico. Al principio es s'uper agotador pero conforme vamos creciendo en la senda se hace m'as f'acil y simple. Anotad en vuestro libro toda experiencia durante el ritual.
Tarea m'agica.
Investiga los temimos psicol'ogicos: sugesti'on, man'ia, depresi'on, pulsi'on, catexis y los esot'ericos: Te'urgia y Hechizo.
Se'ais bendecido/a )O( Lady RavenGrelen

God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. But Satan is a vigilant, unsleeping foe, ever at work upon human minds, seeking a soil in which he can sow his tares. If he finds any whom he can press into his service, he will suggest ideas and false theories, and make them zealous in advocating error. The truth not only converts, but works the purification of its receiver. Jesus has warned us to beware of false teachers. From the beginning of our work, men have arisen from time to time, advocating theories that were new and startling. But if those who claim to believe the truth would go to those who have had experience, would go to the word of God in a teachable, humble spirit, and examine their theories in the light of truth and with the aid of the brethren who have been diligent Bible students, and at the same time make supplication unto God, asking, Is this the way of the Lord, or is it a false path in which Satan would lead me? they would receive light, and would escape out of the net of the fowler.
Let all our brethren and sisters beware of anyone who would set a time for the Lord to fulfill His word in regard to His coming, or in regard to any other promise He has made of special significance. "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in His own power." False teachers may appear to be very zealous for the work of God, and may expend means to bring their theories before the world and the church; but as they mingle error with truth, their message is one of deception, and will lead souls into false paths. They are to be met and opposed, not because they are bad men, but because they are teachers of falsehood and are endeavoring to put upon falsehood the stamp of truth.
What a pity it is that men will go to such pains to discover some theory of error when there is a whole storehouse of precious gems of truth by which the people might be enriched in the most holy faith. Instead of teaching truth they let their imagination dwell upon that which is new and strange, and throw themselves out of harmony with those whom God is using to bring the people up upon the platform of truth. They cast aside all that has been said in regard to unity of sentiment and feeling, and trample upon the prayer of Christ as though the unity for which He prayed were unessential, and there were no necessity for His followers to be one, even as He is one with the Father. They go off on a tangent, and, Jehulike, call to their brethren to follow their example of zeal for the Lord.
If their zeal led them to work in the same lines in which their brethren who have carried the heat and burden of the day are working, if they were as persevering to overcome discouragements and obstacles as their brethren have been, they might well be imitated, and God would accept them. But men are to be condemned who start out with a proclamation of wonderful light, and yet draw away from the agents whom God is leading. This was the way in which Korah, Dathan, and Abiram did, and their action is recorded as a warning to all others. We are not to do as they have done-accuse and condemn those upon whom God has laid the burden of the work.
Those who have proclaimed the Seventh-day Adventist Church as Babylon, have made use of the "Testimonies "in giving their position a seeming support; but why is it that they did not present that which for years has been the burden of my message-the unity of the church? Why did they not quote the words of the angel, "Press together, press together, press together"? Why did they not repeat the admonition and state the principle, that "in union there is strength, in division there is weakness"? It is such messages as these men have borne that divide the church, and put us to shame before the enemies of truth; and in such messages is plainly revealed the specious working of the great deceiver, who would hinder the church from attaining unto perfection in unity. These teachers follow the sparks of their own kindling, move according to their own independent judgment, and cumber the truth with false notions and theories. They refuse the counsel of their brethren, and press on in their own way until they become just what Satan would desire to have them-unbalanced in mind.
I warn my brethren to guard against the working of Satan in every form. The great adversary of God and man is exulting today that he has succeeded in deceiving souls, and in diverting their means and ability into harmful channels. Their money might have been used to advance present truth, but instead of this it has been expended in presenting notions that have no foundation in truth.

On my blog I recently reviewed a book called Hedge Witchcraft by Harmonia Saille, which is an excellent introduction to that form of traditional witchcraft. Her new book, Hedge Riding,follows on from it and offers an in-depth look at one of the most fascinating aspects of hedgewitchery - the practice of travelling in spirit to other realms.
These are the realms of the ancestors, nature spirits, fairies and divine beings; collectively called "the otherworld". This form of travelling is a shamanic technique, and the term "hedge riding" is used because the barrier between the worlds is seen symbolically as a hedge.
Hedge riding is a core practice of hedge witches, although they are usually also skilled in natural magic, herb lore, divination and folk traditions. There are many practical reasons for hedge riding, including contacting animal guides, communicating with the dead, gaining wisdom, healing and divination.
Publisher Moon
However, hedge riding is not easy. It is a skill that usually takes plenty of time and practise to be able to do at all, and also has some risks because the entities one may encounter in the otherworld are not always friendly.
But, if you want to learn, I would recommend Harmonia's book as a good place to start. It is clearly written, without over-simplifying what is one of the most difficult aspects of hedgewitchery.
She explains what the otherworld is like - normally depicted as being divided into the upper world of gods, the middle world of humanity, and the lower world of primal nature, as well as the underworld where the spirits of the dead can be found. She discusses the tools used to reach those worlds, including drums and rattles, but also traditional herbs.
Harmonia covers the practical techniques required, but explains that one should learn to walk before one learns to ride. Meditation, visualisation and pathworking, while not being the same as hedge riding, are very good skills to master first. The book contains exercises in all of these. It also covers protection and grounding - essential before one travels to the otherworld - as well as importance of animal and spirit guides, and how find and communicate with them.
Finally, the book shows how to put all of these techniques together to actually cross the hedge, through a series of experiential examples.
Hedge riding is a subject that has not been widely written about in depth. This new book, in the Pagan Portals series, fills something of a gap in the market and I am sure it will sell well.
"Harmonia Saille is an author and practising Hedge Witch who holds workshops on the runes, faeries, hedge riding and other subjects. She lives in Ireland and is deputy editor of Ireland's pagan magazine Brigid's Fire. Her other

A Book of Shadows is a witch's right hand tool. (My page on this can be found at this link Book of shadows) It is where they write down everything they have learned. You can't hope to remember EVERYTHING! No matter how you create you BoS, hand written or typed, you should be the one to create every word and page within it. If you photocopy the pages from another person you are creating just another copy of someone else's book. There will be parts you miss and possible mistakes you won't catch. You should create your own Book of Shadows as a reflection of you. Keep it safe and take care of it and in times of need it will take care of you! Buying a blank BoS is fine, but buying a prewriten book is just not acceptable. Besides any good witch takes pride in the creation of their BoS!
Blessed be,
Lady Alice

THE MYSTERY SCHOOL OF SOPHIA"In certain artworks I explore spiritual concepts and iconography. There are 9 elements and icones woven into this painting of the Goddess, Sophia. Below I discuss the work in general, a list of all 79 can be found via a link at the end of the article to my fine art site.
"
THE DIVINE FEMININE"As the feminine companion to God, Sophia symbolizes the womb of creation which brings forth all life from the sacred marriage of opposing energies: spirit and matter, heaven and earth, intellect and intuition. She holds the caduceus: the winged staff entwined with two serpents.
The serpent is an ancient symbol of duality. It is considered both masculine and feminine, solar and lunar, medicinal and poisonous, preserver and destroyer, spiritual and sensual. In addition, the synthesis of opposing energies is represented by the Rosy Cross, from which emerges the sheaf of grain, representing the ultimate revelation of the Mysteries.
On the left of Sophia, the feminine energies are symbolized by the moon and the pool of water. The moon governs the tidal cycles and is associated with the waters of creation. The moon also symbolizes the material realm. As the moon reflects the light of the sun, matter is the reflection of spirit. In addition, the moon illuminates the invisible world which corresponds to the feminine gift of intuition.
On the right of Sophia, the masculine energies are represented by the sun and the element of fire. The sun generates heat and light which sustains all life. The sun also symbolizes the spiritual realm. As the sun generates light, the spiritual realm is composed of pure light. In addition, the sun illuminates the visible world, which corresponds to the masculine characteristic of intellect.
The holy number seven is associated with the four lunar phases and is sacred to Sophia. According to the Book of Proverbs, "Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn out it's seven pillars." These are known as the Seven Pillars of Wisdom: Arithmetic, Geometry, Astronomy, Grammar, Rhetoric, Dialectic, and Music.
The Greek religious temples and philosophical academies were supported by pillars carved in the likeness of women, as the priestesses of the Great Goddess were the original "pillars of the church". In ancient times, the seven stars of the Pleiades marked the point of the vernal equinox which occurred in the constellation of Taurus.
According to the Greeks, the Seven Sisters were a flock of doves, placed in the heavens by Zeus. The leader of the Pleiades was Alcyone, the "halcyon" bird which ensured good weather during the sowing month of Taurus. Appearing in the form of a dove, Sophia was identified with the Holy Spirit in the Gospels.
Accordingly, the Holy Spirit is frequently depicted in religious iconography with seven rays of light emanating from it. These correspond to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord. Sophia is also the embodiment of the Many-Named Lunar Goddess, crowned with a halo of twelve stars, which correspond to the twelve months, or moons, of the solar year.
Upon her forehead, she wears the symbol of the triple moon. This corresponds to the three visible lunar phases of the Triple Goddess: the Virgin (Waxing Moon), the Mother (Full Moon), and the Crone (Waning Moon). Furthermore, her triple aspect is represented by her three daughters; Faith, Hope, and Charity.
According to the ancients, the Earth is encircled by seven heavens or spheres. Above them is the eighth sphere of the fixed stars. Also, behind the eighth sphere is the heavenly light of the Divine which shines through the crystal sphere and appears as stars. The All-Seeing Eye symbolizes illumination and was originally an emblem of Maat, the Egyptian goddess of justice.
She is identified with the Greek goddess Ananke, the Strong Fate, who guides the destiny of the universe and is the Spindle of Necessity upon which all the spheres of heaven revolved. The two males reclining near the feet of Sophia represent the sacred king and his deputy who each ruled for one half of the year.
This corresponds to the Ancient Poetic Theme: the God of the Waxing Year constantly striving against the God of the Waning Year for the love of the Triple Goddess. One male sits near the point of the winter solstice, known as the Gate of the Gods, where the soul ascends upon the solar path to the heavenly realm of spirit.
The other male sits near the point of the summer solstice, known as the Gate of Men, where the soul descends upon the lunar path to the physical realm of matter. Both of these cycles harmoniously complement each other as the eternally revolving Wheel of Life, or Zodiac. The stars around the moon and beneath of dove are five-pointed pentacles.
These are associated with the goddess Venus, as her planet forms a five-Pointed star within the circIe of the zodiac every eight years. Around the head of Sophia are six-pointed stars which symbolize the union of masculine and feminine energies. To her right is a lily which is her sacred flower and symbolizes both purity and innocence.
To her left is a lotus, the Eastern Counterpart to the lily, which also represents enlightenment. Near the locus is a crown, which symbolizes divinity, sovereignty, power, and royalty. Finally, in her right open hand hays a book, the universal symbol of knowledge and wisdom. The ouroboros gracing the cover often represents self-reflectivity or cyclically, in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, or the eternal return.
