Familiars?

arya0c wrote in wiccan Mar 06, 2012 21:07

How do you know when your dog/cat/etc is a familiar? I also am a little hazy on what exactly a familiar is... This probably various depending on the religion, but overall.. what is the definition? Is it an animal who is like a friend and teacher?

My main question is how you know they are a familiar.

Thank you
Arya

I need some help...

I am a little unsure as to how to celebrate Ostara. I was hoping some of you could help me with some ideas? I don't think I will be comfortable doing a full blown ritual since I haven't done one yet... but maybe I could cast a small circle and do some praying and offer some food/wine? Would that work ( Read more... )

Books on medicine?

dorianslover wrote in wiccan Feb 23, 2012 20:48

I was wondering if anyone here could point me in the directions of books on the Wiccan/Pagan (either/or) perspective on medicine. Perhaps written by a doctor or other medical staff? It's a hard topic to come by, but it's an interesting one. Modern medicine has its roots in traditional healing, after all. (Aspirin is formed form the bark of a tree, ( Read more... )

Hello

MM everyone. I just joined this community in an attempt to get back to my Pagan roots. I used to be an LJ member loooooooooong ago and almost forgot all about it, except I`ve had this nagging feeling that I wanted to journal my thoughts again, when I remembered, `Oh yea, Livejournal!`

So, here I am, and I just updated my first post in a few years ( Read more... )

First off i would like to say hello to the community. Im new to live journal and im really enjoying it so far.

Since Imbolc is just around the corner (my favorite holiday i might add) I thought it would be neat to see how everyone else chooses to celebrate the holiday. For my practice I light an orange candle charged with solar energies and ( Read more... )

Cauldron

So, I just got a brand new cast iron cauldron. I feel like making brews, teas, balms, salves, and anything I don't want to ruin a cooking pot for if I mess up.
Here's my question. In the herbalist books I have read, they say to always avoid mixing in metals (mostly by contact with the metal by the hot liquid). So I am worried about using it/breaking ( Read more... )
