Serenity

Well, it's been a while but we're hoping to be more active as the wheel of the year turns toward autumn. We will be offering more seasonal party packages for you in the coming weeks, and welcome any suggestions for themes and craft workshops that you'd like to see us provide.

Looking forward to some cosy evenings this autumn. How will you spend yours?

Hot Cocoa Contentment Charm

Autumn is not just about doing depth magick, but is also a time of gathering in for the purpose of getting cozy and comfortable.

The spring and summer are busy and energetically outward driven times of the year, so when autumn finally arrives it can feel so good to put on our oversized sweater and curl up with a good book. And you know what would make that scene even better - a hot drink to enjoy.

This Hot Cocoa Contentment Charm will help you brew up some contentment to help you settle back into your body and magickal practice with comfort and ease. It’s a get charm to do after a house cleansing or any time you need to help settle the energy in your self and your home.

For this ritual you’ll need your favorite hot cocoa mix, your mug of choice, and a bit of peace and quiet. Cacao (Theobroma cacao) or chocolate is a great messenger plant - it delivers the message of whatever charm you’re using it for to it’s desired location.

In this instance, Cacao is helping us distribute a sense of contentment within ourselves and our home.

Brew you cocoa and as you do, chant the following charm while stirring it:

One bird,
One toad,
One serpent,
One hare,
Each bring four blessings
To my brew here
Of peace,
Of ease,
Of love,
Of pleasure,
So I may know
the joy of leisure.

Go room to room in your home with your cup full of hot cocoa saying each time:

Contentment is delivered to this place
I now dwell in a peaceful space

In the final room to be blessed, and the one where you are planning on getting cozy and drinking your hot cocoa, end your charm by saying “Blessed Be!” three times.

Awesome Sunday with James, Stevie and guests officiating a naming ceremony for their daughter. Loved the choice of readings and thrilled to have been with you all for one of life's exceptional moments.

Something a little more festive and interesting too.

"The Yule Log, an ancient symbol of the season, came to us from the Celts. The log, a ph***ic symbol, is usually cut from an Oak tree, symbolic of the god. The entire log was decorated with holly, mistletoe, and evergreens to represent the intertwining of the god and goddess who are reunited on this sabbat. The log was burned in the hearth or fireplace. Modern pagans also have the option of using pieces of oak small enough to be burned in the cauldron.

In modern times, another tradition has emerged since not everyone has fireplaces. Three holes are bored in the top of the log for three candles, representing the goddess in her three aspects -- maiden, mother, and crone. Normally these candles are white, red, and black in honor of this triple aspect. This log may be reused year after year, with the candles changed each year.
An ancient rhyme of unknown origin reflects the importance of the Yule Log on this sabbat:
May the log burn,
May the wheel turn,
May evil spurn,
May the Sun return.
The ashes of the yule log or spent wax from candles are tied up in a cloth for the entire year as a charm for protection, fertility, strength, and health."
