Divination- What it is and why should you care?
Posted by Theresa Mennig on
Divinatory practice is common among Wiccans, Witches, and other Pagans and most have their own favorite method for seeking answers from the Divine. Mine is tarot while my partner has both runes and ogham. We have a spirit board we rarely use and both of us have done varying forms of scrying. Any of these items can help you strengthen your intuition. Simply choose the one you are most comfortable using and practice, practice, practice. If you don’t know what all those things are, don’t worry! I will help you here and the internet is a wonderful tool. It may seem hard in the beginning, but don't give up. The more you use these tools, the easier it gets.

The magick of Friday the 13th
Posted by Theresa Mennig on
Liking or honoring the 13th isn’t restricted to modern day pagans, it’s been in our history for quite some time. In many pre-Christian cultures, Friday is linked to a day of worship. In many pagan societies, it’s the day to receive blessings from the gods. Many pagan cultures chose this 6th day of the week (Friday) to celebrate and honor their gods/goddesses for the gifts they had received in the days prior and to petition their chosen deity for favor in the days of the coming week.
