Celtic Dreams Emerald Jewel Dreamcatcher

ב' באלול תש"ע
Belz 4

This exquisite CELTIC DREAMS EMERALD JEWEL dreamcatcher hangs over my bed. The ring measures 14 inches and is gracefully draped with emerald leather, white fox fur and peacock feathers. Moss agate, tiny emeralds and diamond-like quartz crystals, a silver dragon and a silver skeleton key are captured in the intricately interwoven web.



The key unlocks the mysteries.

Dragon embodies primordial power, balanced strength and hidden mystery. A guardian and guide, Dragon awakens inner Divinity and reveals mystical wonder.

A gateway to higher knowledge, Peacock is a totem of nobility, watchfulness, sweet harmony, laughter, karmic connections, inner wisdom and resurrection.

White Fox enables unity to be grasped and knowledge to be utilized wisely on all levels. It embodies cleverness, concern for family, adaptability, cunning observation, integration, swiftness of thought and action, sure-footedness in the physical world, and sexual intensity.

Emerald (pitdah, פטדה) is the jewel of the tribe of Shimon. It protects from immorality, is used in love potions, combats fevers and captures flashes of wisdom.

Situated in the middle of the first row on the choshen mispat (breastplate of the high priest), the Hebrew word "pitdah" is believed to derive from the Assyrian word "hipindu" which means "flashing" or "shimmering." The magical word "pitdah" comes from the Hebrew root פטד which means to "be distinctive".

Clear quartz clarifies and amplifies.

Taken together, flashes of wisdom are caught, brought forth into distinct understanding and integrated faithfully into awareness by my dreamcatcher, to remain known in the conscious mind upon awaking.

This is just a most awesome dreamcatcher.

HEAVENLY PROTECTION Witch's Altar Ladder

א' באלול תש"ע
Belz 3

Invite the bright protection of the heavens into your sacred circle with this mystically enchanting HEAVENLY PROTECTION Witch's Altar Ladder and/or Handfasting Cord. Handcrafted under the waxing crescent Moon 5% full, as the heavens wax toward the peak of the 2010 Perseids meteor shower and light show of falling stars August 12-13, during the planetary hour of the Moon, HEAVENLY PROTECTION is made with turquoise-light blue sapphire metallic ribbon, dark Blue Rainbow yarn, handmade Spruce Silk Sari ribbon, a silver Celtic Shield Knot charm, a silver Celtic Spiral charm, 5 dark wood beads and 14 knots.



Five is the number of the pentagram, known by mystics as the pentalpha, a symbol of Goddess. Interlaced five times, pentalpha is considered to be the birth-letter of the entire cosmos and womb of the earth.

The Celtic Shield Knot symbolizes endlessness and eternity, the inner temple and journey of the soul, the four corners of the earth, the four seasons, and the four guardian archangels of the heavens (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel).

The Celtic Spiral represents radiant ethereal energy, birth, wholistic growth and evolution, expansion of consciousness, initiation, direction and development, balance, centering, connection and union with cosmic and divine energy.



Blue is the color of the heavenly throne.

At sundown this upcoming Thursday (August 12), the 2010 Perseids meteor shower peaks with Saturn (ר), Venus (כ), Mars (ג) and the setting crescent Moon (ב) coming together in the western twilight in tight conjunction, fitting within a circle about 10 degrees in diameter. The magical Hebrew letters of the heavenly bodies coming into conjunction come together to create the two by two magical roots רך גב meaning, "gentle support and protection."

Fourteen is the gematria (numerology) of the magical Hebrew word ובו meaning "and be in it" (the protection of the heavens).

Let heaven's protection shower down upon the earth and upon us, and let us be safe within it. So mote it be! אמן

Measures 36 (לו) inches and comes beautifully packaged.

Black - mystery, deep mind, hidden knowledge and worlds, power, all potentiality, restfulness, night, new beginnings

OLD WAYS Witch's Altar Ladder / Handfasting Cord

כ"ד באב תש"ע
Lughnasadh 25

Created in sacred space under the waning crescent Moon 34% full, during the planetary hours of Mars and the Sun, mystically magical OLD WAYS is an extraordinarily beautiful witch's altar ladder and/or handfasting cord.



Handcrafted with richly Mysterious Silk Sari ribbon (made from strips of cut silk sari fabric exquisitely laced throughout with deep burgundy, royal blues and other dark colors), handspun Midnight Twig Racka yarn (featuring the colors of Nature ranging from dark browns through rusty tones to true black, even having some strands of white), black satiny ribbon, 3 genuine Amber gemstone beads (7-11 mm), 1 genuine deep black Jet bead (10 mm round), 9 jet black opaque glass crow beads, 22 knots and a large Tibetan silver pentacle charm (1 inch diameter).



A fossilized resin of coniferous trees, projective Amber is possibly the oldest substance used for human adornment. Associated with the Divine Great Mother, fire, Akasha, the Sun, time, longevity, love, healing, strength, protection and beauty, beads and pendants of Amber have been found in European gravesites dating back to at least 8000 BCE. Warm to the touch and often containing insect inclusions, Amber possesses the power of the Life and Death. Rubbed Amber becomes electrically charged. Witches, wise women and shamans use Amber to strengthen spells.

A gemstone which is actually fossilized wood millions of years old, Jet (also known as Witches' Amber) is receptive. Associated with Earth (due to its black color), Akasha (due to its organic origins), Saturn, protection, luck, divination and health, Jet, like Amber, may become electrically charged. Lore teaches that when worn continually, Jet absorbs part of the wearer's "soul" and becomes a powerfully magical tool, and maintains the proper flow of energy throughout the body.

Amber and Jet have both been found in prehistoric graves, testifying to the antiquity of their use as spiritual stones.

The silver pentacle is a powerful protective symbol of the Old Ways, of Witch Craft.

Nine is the diameter of the witch's sacred circle.

Like the number of knots in OLD WAYS, there are 22 letters in the magical Hebrew alphabet.

Measuring 60 inches (= 5 feet = five elemental corners of the encircled Pentacle), this magnificent cord corresponds to the "SECRET WITHIN THE SECRET" of the witch's sacred circle through the magical Hebrew letter Samech (having both a gematria-numerology value of 60 and written in the form of a closed circle).

OLD WAYS comes beautifully packaged with a small surprise gift included.

Natural Medicine Field Guide

Ethnopharmacology Of Poisonous Plants

ז' באב תש"ע
Lughnasadh 8

The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications by anthropologist and ethnopharmacologist Christian Rätsch.

This new addition to my bookshelf is a superb academic reference and comprehensive text devoted to psychoactive plants. This book is a MUST-HAVE for any witch thinking about working magically and safely with Belladonna or any other potentially poisonous plant. "Each major monograph contains the plant’s scientific and common names, chemical structure, history, distribution, cultivation, appearance, preparation and dosage, ritual and medicinal uses, commercial forms and regulations, and effects, as well as research literature references." (Andy Wickens, Library Journal, August 2005)

"Christian Rätsch’s remarkable Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants is an essential and comprehensive work that explores not only the expanse of plants that affect human consciousness but the genetic necessity for humanity to experience wide-ranging flexibility in consciousness. The plant world is basic to us, the foundation of our food, clothing, and shelter. But Christian’s book reminds us that human/plant interactions reach much deeper than these three needs; plant intelligence reaches deep within us and teaches us to see, hear, and understand the deep meanings in the world, meanings that we need, and are meant, to encounter in order to remain human." (Stephen Harrod Buhner, author of The Secret Teachings of Plants and The Lost Language of Plants)

Genuine EUROPEAN MANDRAKE ROOT Oil

ז' באב תש"ע
Lughnasadh 8

This EUROPEAN MANDRAKE ROOT oil is made with the much more expensive hard to find genuine EUROPEAN MANDRAKE ROOT (Mandragora Officinarum), NOT the cheaper American Mandrake Root (Podophyllum peltatum). European Mandrake is the true mandrake described in ancient grimoires and Celtic folklore. The 3ml corked glass spell bottle is sealed with black wax and hung with a copper Celtic Witch's Knot charm by exquisitely colorful handmade hand dyed Red Paprika silk sari ribbon.



Long associated with magic, with an equally long history as a sacred herb in many cultures, and common in a variety of witch's brews, European mandrake contains extremely large amounts of tropane alkaloids and should be regarded as POISONOUS. DO NOT INGEST, handle with CAUTION.

Use in spells for protection, love, fertility, sexual potency, prosperity and health. Mandrake may also may be used for image and poppet magic, for exorcism of baneful energies and when working with Hekate.

A unique special offering of WITCHCRAFTS, this YEW and POMEGRANATE SEED Oil is a potent powerful blend of wildcrafted European YEW (Taxus baccata) evergreen needle tips and top of the line pure Premium certified organic POMEGRANATE SEED oil from Turkey (an expensive delicacy among oils)! The corked 3ml glass spell bottle is sealed with black wax, hung with a sterling silver pentacle charm by black satiny ribbon, and adorned with handmade hand dyed Terra Cotta (streaked with whispers of midnight black) silk sari ribbon.

Sacred to the Celts, Hekate and other dark goddesses of the Underworld, Yew unites life and death in an eternal cosmic harmony. Yew also aids in the acquisition of knowledge and skill with words, making Yew an important alchemical tool for working word magic.

Sacred to many Underworld deities, Pomegranate guards against baneful energies, calls forth the protective strength of Witch Blood (uniting and bonding together all witches throughgout time), and invokes the power of blæd to optimize the inflow and outflow of soul energy during shamanic journeys.

Perfect for SAMHAIN spellwork and HEDGEWITCHERY. Also may be used in other rituals involving death, ancestor work and raising spirits of the dead, evolving life passage rites, word alchemy, divination, clairvoyance, love, peace of mind.

Comes beautifully packaged.

**CAUTION** - Yew is poisonous - DO NOT INGEST. Even though fatal human poisoning is very rare, "the foliage and seeds contain several alkaloids, in particular taxine, very poisonous, which alters to hydrotaxine by hydrolysis; also one glucoside, taxicatine. The wood, bark, foliage and seeds are toxic. The foliage is the principal source of taxine. Old and desiccated foliage is more poisonous than young and fresh foliage."
