HARRY POTTER AND THE NEO-paganism

HARRY POTTER AND THE NEO-paganism
Patrick Star


articles and reviews have appeared recently, also signed by Catholic authors such as Michael Dolz the journal Catholic Studies, "which extolled the wonders of education contained in some 3,300 pages devoted to Harry Potter and his magic business, called it" the largest work ever written on the growth and education. " In addition to these voices cheering
shared by Rawling's work to that of Tolkien, there are other voices that criticism ignores the dominant or to silence, voices, like those of the undersigned, are not afraid to point out the negativity of a work worrying likely to be an accomplice in a neo-pagan secularism increasingly pervasive in Western culture. I confess honestly have not read the novel (the rest to deal with the three thousand three hundred pages of reading should be a good deal of time and heroism), but I saw the movie it inspired, so my complaint is not about value literary work, but the claim that the content is educational, indeed a means of formation for younger generations. I therefore limit myself to some points of observation and reflection

1) The characters move in a totally surreal and sensational, not so much inspired by fairies, goblins, or, at most, from wicked witches, as in fairy tales of our childhood but where the characters move in a normal human, but horrible and deformed monsters, along with Harry Potter, are the true protagonists of the story, all made even more impressive special effects. Applying Machiavellian phrase "the end justifies the means", we want to justify the saga pagan Wizards and superhuman beings who use miraculous powers but obscure the fact that in the struggle between good and evil in the end good prevails and triumphs. But what good is it? My impression is of being in front of a generic good, feel-good, which does not bind the conscience and therefore does not act as an element of training. A well that, moreover, can never be that, if only because the main character who carries it out, Harry Potter, is himself a magician, and then uses a tool, the magic in itself negative, serving as a model for new generations to whom there is nothing, if you do not want to be marginalized, who emulate him. Imitate the "heroic deeds" of a magician moves in a world outside of reality is really an appropriate education?
2) This representation of abnormal situations, outside of everyday life, so inimitable, even if they had a happy ending, could lead to the rejection of the boys daily life normally made of small things, small sacrifices, small duties, etc. of small actions. instead to be thrown into a frantic search for something sensational, the bizarre, magical, that could create a situation of schizophrenia in their fatal outbreaks of uncontrolled and dangerous irrationality that can lead to drug use, even among young .

3) enthusiasts of the novel sees the deeds of the protagonists even a religious message, without any reference to God are those who believe there is already so "politically correct" in the current climate of increasingly creeping secularization, replace Dante ( years already marginalized triumphantly) with Tolkien in school curricula, and even the magical saga of the struggle between good and evil, the lesson of religion. You can never talk about educational outcomes when it comes to suppress the religious dimension and replacing it with the magical sensation in practice with the world of the occult?
4) So, to be very real, what actually children learn from novels like this? A good family wanting more? A study more? To help others in the various needs? A live human virtues, which are expressed in firms almost never extravagant and noisy, but in small acts of daily life, such as patience, sincerity, loyalty, punctuality, order, etc..!?
The fruits that are being collected from novels or movies like that in all our eyes: in ten years have quadrupled declared pagans, witchcraft is becoming an exuberant fashion, and indeed an increasingly profitable business to the point that the esoteric feeding and hiding a turnover of 500 million euro, all exempted from the tax, while the churches are more and more deserted and replaced by invocations of Christian prayer and ritual magic, so much so that even the Christian holidays such as Christmas parties have become the only Santa Claus and in particular the witch.
bothers these days to hear talk of the devil and demonic possession, yet almost all the exorcists are in agreement that the first door to let the devil in one person in a family or society is just magic , even in jest. And we know that the devil is smart nell'illudere his victims but then ... what a terrible revenge takes in Serbia, with the result that, in addition evil on this earth to live, you may play for the soul for all eternity! Not for nothing that the Bishops appoint each year an increasing number of exorcists.
In conclusion, the problems of life are not addressed or resolved by the magic el'esoterismo but rather with the weapons of faith and prayer that require patience, humility, perseverance, but people never leave empty-handed. Prayer pays always pays off now with so much peace, serenity, joy and abandonment to the will of God, and often pays for itself over time to obtain from God through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, the very things that intercedes, including human resources, such as a job, a house, a healing and so on.
Therefore, this avalanche of post neo-pagans offered in a variety of ways for young people should be boycotted by Christians who should never cease to be a "sign of contradiction" in the midst of the pitfalls and the lure of the world.

my opinion? This is
Drugs!

First I love Harry Potter and not see anything .. Pagano
Secondly, I think this girl is crazy, then starting from the assumption that if something you have not even read depending on what the judge? did you film? and then you will understand, What's so anti-Christian films, do not think anyone has ever done looking at HP theological questions, God is never mentioned, and nothing replaces it, the magic of which you speak to which it relates as a stimulus to become pagans, for me who are pagan and not for Harry Potter, it offends me!
That magic has nothing to do with religious magic if it is so little call.
I do not think Rowling has ever exercised the presumption of converting people, it is an insult to her and her work for more .. not that believers of all religions, and defendants singled out just because they dream with a fantastic story .. although it had categorized as heathens!
stuff is crazy!
Third, a bark thing that made me laugh, and that .. mo says teach at school Harry Potter or Tolkien's saga? teaching our children to flee the relata for a world of fantasy? eh .. mo because until I tell them? is not the same, the story of the son of god born of a virgin?? walking on the water multiply the loaves and fishes, and raises the dead ..? EQUAL is not to be missed!!

some people would shut the!

Santeria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Santeria (Santería in accordance with the English spelling) comes from the syncretism of the Catholic religion with other elements of traditional Yoruba religion, practiced by African slaves and their descendants in Cuba, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Panama and even in places with many Latin American immigrants in the U.S. (such as Florida, New York and California).

The term "Santeria" was coined by the English to denigrate what seemed to them an excessive devotion to the saints by their slaves, who were thus not understand the role of God in the Catholic religion. This attitude was born of a constraint imposed on them by slaveholders: the prohibition of mandatory, on pain of death, to practice their animist religions brought with them from West Africa, forced them to find a solution to circumvent this prohibition and that is to conceal, in the true sense of the word, behind the Catholic iconography of their gods so that they are free to worship without incurring the cruelty of the oppressor. In this way, the English rulers thought that slaves, like good Christians, the saints were praying when in fact they were in fact maintaining their traditional faiths.

"Santeria" is, or was, a derogatory term. Practitioners often prefer other names such as Regla de Ocha or Lukum.


Historical Overview

The Cuban Santeria, religious form pseudopoliteistica [in reality is a monotheistic religion: the God is called Oloddumare. He, however, many "emanations" which are the so-called "orishas" (holy), so it would seem a polytheistic religion when in fact, worshiping the various emanations of the one god, Oloddumare, exactly, is adored the one God] has given new impetus at the end of the nineteenth century with the return of some freed slaves in Africa. In the twentieth century a new impulse is given by the Cuban revolution of '59. There are two major consequences: the export of worship in North America and, secondly, the clearance of the Castro regime to the practice of this religion for ideological reasons even anti-Catholic and exploitation of popular culture and the poorer classes , which inevitably were of African American origin. Finally, the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent opening to tourism, especially Europe, has led to the cult in the Old Continent, both by the Cuban migration, both through visitors Europeans were fascinated by cults and practices of Santeria.
Cultural influences and rituals [edit]

The influence of Cuban Santeria on cultural expressions typically is marked, especially in dance and music. The Afro-Cuban musical styles (first of all in that Rumba is the dance most closely associated with African roots, but also Mambo to Salsa, maybe not the Son) are strongly influenced by the syncopated rhythmic figures and used in rituals such as meetings based on drums honor of the god, or holy, Chang. Track symbol that contains all the magic of Santeria is ¿Y TU QUE QUE TE DEN quieres? master Adalberto Alvarez interspersed with songs in language Yoruba, the same language which is still officiate in the rites. The dance is also inspired by the rituals of Yoruba origin. Every saint has a characteristic motion that distinguishes it from others. The Cuban regime considers these artistic expressions a nation's cultural heritage and therefore has a high academic level, re-evaluating the importance of a political question. The fact Santeria is a valuable tool as opposed to Catholicism. Thanks to what are now world famous folk song and dance groups, such as the "Conjunto Folklorico Nacional", "Los Muñequitos de Matanzas", "Yoruba Andabo" and composer Lazaro Ros.

The followers of Santeria in Cuba, while acknowledging the similarities and the common origins with Brazilian Candomblé and Macumba Voodoo and the Haitian claim not to practice black magic, but only the white one. In practice only divination, and rituals to foster success in love, in the economic and health care provider or treatment of diseases. Liturgical litanies and formulas are presumably in Yoruba language (of the Niger-Congo language family) that in fact few people understand (but recite from memory) and private practices are based on the cult of the dead and ancestors to which reserves a corner of the house and provide food and drinks specific to each saint. Also present was the Hindu-Buddhist concept of reincarnation, particularly for those who do not practice the rituals. There are then the collective rituals accompanied by drums with phenomena of possession, trance etc..


Divinity

The main deity of Cuban Santeria, however, are similar if not identical to those of other African-American religions. It is a kind of pantheon where, however, in addition to various deities, are abstract concepts to demonstrate a reasonable level of development of religious, philosophical and metaphysical. For example, the trilogy-Olof Olordumare-Olorun that simplifying the law-maker is the universal life-force (a kind of Holy Trinity). Are the source of the ACE, the gift, the grace, the spiritual energy. For some do not This is a trilogy, but one God, then it would be a monotheistic religion Santeria, the Orishas and the rest of the demigods (humans who have done great things in life and after death were elected to the rank of deity) that embody the nature act as messengers of the primordial divinity. The latter (about 400 in the original religion Yoruba, Santeria in the forty, fifteen of which only those known by the majority of the faithful) against recall for some Greek mythology with the various anthropomorphic gods in war, you steal her friends, take revenge , rape, come together and protect each other. The mythology of these deities, often in contradiction between them, are called Pattakìn and are of considerable anthropological interest.

Some of the major Orishas (saints) are simplifying the Cuban Santeria:

Elegguà: patron god of travelers, is the one that opens and closes the roads, crossings and that when he dances like a naughty boy, messenger, holds the keys of destiny. In the ritual has the privilege of always being the first (abre el FP). It is the protector of travelers, roads and intersections. Cattolicizzato with St. Anthony of Padua, its colors are red and black.

Obatala: First among the Orishas. The creator of the earth. Pure deity par excellence, peace-loving and merciful. He is the god's head, thought and dreams. Cattolicizzato as the Virgin de Mercedes, its color is white.

Yemaya: Mother of life and the other gods. Wife or, depending on the model, daughter of Obatala. Goddess of the sea salt water and then as a primordial source of life. Protector of pregnant women, fishermen and sailors. Corresponds to the Virgin Mary (Nuestra Señora de la Regla, the patron saint of the Bay of Havana). Its colors are white and blue.

Chang or Shang: God of virility, masculinity, fire, lightning and thunder, war, dance and music of the drums in particular. Perhaps inspired by a mythical king of the Yoruba Oyo kingdom. His countless love affairs and fights with rivals. His alleged wives or lovers are at least three: Ochún (see below), Oya (wind warrior goddess, wife of Oggùn that this is the rival and enemy of Change), and Obba (goddess of the cemetery, the eternal love with Chang for he cut off his ear), but it sure was with the women of the Yoruba pantheon. Unwanted child of Yemaya, the result of a rape, but protected by Obatala. The Catholic saint is like Obatala strangely feminine and Santa Barbara. Its colors are white and red.

Ochún or Oshun: The consideration of women's Change (of which he is a lover). Goddess of love, beauty, femininity and rivers. A little 'coquette' protected Elegguà and Yemaya. Cattolicizzata as the Virgin de la Caridad del Cobre "(the patron saint of Cuba). Color yellow, gold.

Orula: divination personified, the main benefactor of mankind because he reveals the future and recommend. Pure son of Yemaya, but from an incestuous relationship with his son Oggùn, a mountaineer solitary and irascible, the god of iron - San Pietro), saved from the wrath of Obatala by Elegguà and protected by his older brother Chang. Identified in San Francisco of Assisi and the colors are yellow and green.

Babalu Aye : God, healer of many sexually transmitted diseases, skin, leprosy, cholera, etc. illness in general. Therefore, it is therefore associated with St. Lazarus. The colors are white and blue. This in Africa was the largest and most revered saint in Havana there is a shrine in his honor (Rincon), where they go every year on December 17 thousands of sick.

Oggùn: Orisha blacksmith, forger of metals and mentor to all those with metals have to do, including soldiers and warriors. By extension of religion is also associated with war and violence, in contrast to Chang-association, which is also a rival in love for being, according to a former Pataki (legend), seduced and then abandoned dall'avvenente Oshun, who used his thanks for the sole purpose to bring it back to the people from whom he was seconded to disgust. Oggùn Orisha is feared because it is very sociable and the power of its weapons, even if it is not listed among the evil entity. He is just the archetype of the violent demonstrations inherent in human nature. Syncretism with the Catholic religion associated with St. Peter's, perhaps because of some manifestations of vehemence by the Father of the Church

These are some of the major deities of Santeria. There are also countless children. Of course there are rules for unique names, attributes, and legends (patakkìn oral tradition cataloged only in the twentieth century). The rituals vary depending on the school liturgical (reglas). Often deities are mixed and the discourse on the phenomenon of syncretism with the Catholic religion deserves a chapter to itself. It is an attempt to integrate the Santeria of Catholicism, or a cunning slave who venerate Catholic saints avoided harassment and persecution? This is a debate dealt with by anthropologists and historians as Sixto Gaetan Argyriadis Agüero and Kali.
systems of divination [edit]

The system of divination are four

* The system of divination using Diloggún the shell, which formerly was used as currency in Africa. The santero launches 16 shells, in some cases by "reading" only 12. The interpretation and the response is made based on the number of shells fell with the concave top and through a succession of launches.

* The system of divination Biague needs of the coconut, which is used as a ritual offering to the Orisha and donated in honor of ancestors. Are thrown in the air four parts coconut and the response is determined depending on the location, side cable or convex side, taking the floor.

ekuele * The system of divination that uses a special instrument, a chain of eight parties. The chain was launched in the air and depending on how the pieces are placed one can interpret the response of divination, which is enriched by a series of proverbs and stories, related to the problem addressed.

* Tablero de Ifa divination system requires the shedding of a magical white powder derived from a tusk of an elephant on a particular table whose four sides are combined with many gods. The babalawo, the priest in charge of witchcraft, depending on how many seeds of kola (ikines) remain in his left hand (1 or 2 out of 16) of the track marks on the Tablero, achieving the same combination dell'ekuelé.

Shapeshifting

Shapeshifting is a term that in Italian is translated as a single word, is meant by this "shape-shifting" in Trasformasi .. "is often discussed, little used and much misunderstood. But what is shapeshifting outside of fantasy and hearsay is magical ancient practice .
To start, shapeshifter is not literally the physical transformation of a human being into an animal form, because it is not realistically possible, as some believe and wish it were true. Some psychoactive plants can convince a person to be a animal, or more commonly, have them act like an animal, like a mask, a shaman who can imitate an animal costume, and it all movement and sound in the rituals, but yet the person does not become physically shaman. Instead, as shape-shifting magical practice involves a transformation of part of 'soul and transforms it into an animal spirit (known in the Germanic languages \u200b\u200bsuch as fetch) and allows you to leave our body to travel vast distances to travel in both our kingdom and in other worlds.
Another method for the soul of the magician is to leave his body to "ride" the spirit of a living animal or a stray animal or family in this world or in 'afterlife. In the latter case
"riding" the shape-shifting is to possess the spirit, as is the case in Haitian Voodoo.
be possessed by LWA and let them speak and act through the control of their bodies where they stand. "Riding" is also found in European folklore stories of witches, who used to unsuspecting people as "horses" is not intended as a perforated by witches of people in horses, but possession of them and their body, as in Scottish story "The Blacksmith's Wife Yarrowfoot.

There are also many stories in the traditions of European and Native American souls of dead relatives with their loved ones that appear as animals and even then, the spirit is right and has .. Traditions are in evidence tales and mythology, there are also cases of animals that take human form to communicate with us.

E 'tradition for witches and fairies even doctors or medicine men and women use the "transformation" or "ride" to use animals that have long-standing associations with Adil, like toads and frogs, deer, rabbits, cats, birds, aquatic birds and bats - animals moon night, and living in-between the elements of earth, water or air.
in order to turn the magician must first have the ability to separate the soul from the body. To do this, their body and soul must first be in harmony. To achieve this harmony must be able to tell the difference between the two: the real world and beyond, and to truly know themselves.
Different methods can be found on every continent, cultures, mythology and folklore - from the Navajo Skinwalkers, hares Witch of the Celtic lands, and the animal-costumed dancers spirit of the Coast Salish to the werewolf and shapeshifter myths are found in greek and Norse mythology. In some cultures, psychoactive plants are consumed as part of the ritual, in others the drum is the vehicle through which the spirit of the magician can leave the body and turn into an animal, but the skins of animals I other body parts are worn by the magician who want to become.

"The shamanic costume tends to give the shaman a new body in the form of magical animal. The three main types are the bird, reindeer (or deer), and the bear-but in particular the bird. "

~ Mircea Eliade, Shamanism

In the Irish tale" Forbhais Droma Dámhgháire "from the Book of Lismore, the druid Mogh Roith asks his bird spotted mask adorned with fluttering wings, the skin of a bull without horns In its march druid and be wrapped in the bull and wearing his mask to hide [his mind] fly into the sky with a fire enchanted as a channel and is transformed into a bird gaining the power of flight in order to defeat the 'magically army.
Also from the Celtic tradition, the seventeenth century, the Scottish witch Isobel Gowda gave instructions shapeshifters spoken in specific animals during his voluntary process. She and other witches around the same time admitted that they did not physically transform and the only outward change in appearance was the 'wear the fur of an animal or a mask - but was not called spirit possession. - Spells Isobel Gowda provided are as follows-

To change into a hare: I sall
Game intil a hair,
Wi 'sorrow and care Sych and Meikle;
And I sall Devillis name in the Game,
Ay The quhill com hom againe.

To change into a cat: I sall
Game intil a bad job,
Wi 'sorrow and Sych and shat in black, And I Shall
Game Devillis in the name, I
Ay quhill com hom againe.

to transform into a raven, I sall
Game intil a craw,
Wi 'sory and Sych and a black thraw;
And I Shall Devillis name in the Game,
Ay quhill I com hom againe

To return:
Haire, Haire, [Catt, craw, etc.] God send thee caire [back], I am in a
hairis likness just now, Bot I sall be
in a womanis likenes evin now.


The dangers of Trsformarsi

The dangers of magical practice include not being able to return to your body due to forget that you're a human being, forgetting that the kingdom belongs to you, or travel too far to return resulting in coma or death of the physical body, and also be captured or stolen as a leading spirit in the afterlife the same consequences or be hunted, killed or injured while "driving" an animal alive in this world. Many of us have heard the stories of witches, who stole the milk of cows or rabbits in the form of witches, when they were injured or killed as a pet, rabbit or other that is, it turned into a human being or have been found in their home with the same injury as the animal was real. There is a story "The Hare Witch" collection of Mr. and Mrs. WB Hall Yeats.qui nn it is "die in your dreams, die in real life," but rather, your soul is wounded, captured or destroyed, and so also for your body.

Precautions Doppelganger Wizard.

1. Set a time limit before you leave for your trip, so that no matter where you turn back, but at the end of it, in your body.
2. Use the power to bind themselves and also to your spirit so that you can follow when you want to return the power back from the realm of the unconscious mind to the body. This method uses sympathetic magic, as in what you do 'magic' in the physical world is reflected in the spiritual realm.
3. Have a safe word or spell as Isobel Gowda that when you say or think, acts as a triggering device draws you re your spirit back into your body.
4. A magical protection spell on your body so it can not be damaged or stolen during the journey of your spirit in the afterlife. magical charms and tools are also in the spirit world, when properly executed and consecrated.
5. Have a medium that uses someone else, especially when you start and practice and give them a time limit so they can try to provoke a reaction in you so that you are aware of your body and can pull you back for more easily. A bucket of cold water splashing on your face may tend to work quite well ...

skulls and bones of animals in magic and rituals.

"" Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones
"Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones
Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk a-roun ''"

Traditional

The bones are a type of feticcio.Un fetish is "an object regarded with awe as the embodiment or habitation of a potent spirit or having magic power (source). The word derives from the French fetish fetish that derives from the Portuguese word which means feitico "charm" or "witchcraft."
feathers, bones, crystals and stones are all kinds of fetishes. Skulls and bones are a dear to the witch who performs work for the spirit and are a necessary and simple to connect with the spirits of the dead and animals. Working with the bones is not just for blacks necromancers and wizards.
professionals who work with the bones are a variety of healers, fortune tellers, witches, shamans, druids and pagans.

Clean Bones

The safest and easiest to clean bones is macerazione.Rimuovere any remaining skin and meat, place the bones in a container and cover completely with water. Replace the water every few days with fresh water. You can pour water in your garden smelling like a compost tea for your tasty plants. When the water becomes turbid and smelly it becomes ready for the next step. Rinse the bones again with plain water and pull out all remaining tissue.
Then dip the bones into a container filled with hydrogen peroxide. This sterilizing and whitening bones. It may take a few minutes or a couple of hours depending on the size of the bones and the strength of hydrogen peroxide.
Then remove the bones and give them a final rinse with water and allow to dry. They are now ready to cooperate with you. Never use bleach.
Sometimes the bones could break down too fast and getting so that bones do not shed most of odoraccio, often to the cuase of the interior of the bone itself.

Before you begin: These instructions are provided as a service to clients who wish to prepare their own bone samples.
Before proceeding, please be aware that many localities have laws on the protection of native species. These laws prohibit the possession of the remains as well as for the live animal.
Please check your local laws before proceeding.

What is soaking? Use the action of bacteria in water to clean the bones is called maceration. The easiest way to clean the bones and works best for large bones strong, for example mammalian skulls and long bones. It is not recommended for very delicate bones, like those found in birds or reptiles, or skeletons that you want to keep together (joint) all the bones are separated, the maceration removes the connective tissue that holds together the skeleton.

Step 1: remove all residual tissue or hide the best of your ability. In this way you maceration faster.
Step 2: Completely submerge the bones in a container of plain water.
Step 3: Leave the container in a warm place where you can smell.
Step 4: periodically pour the fat, smelly water out (gardens love quet 'water) and acmbiate with fresh water.
Step 5: When the water remains clear, the bacteria break down any finished fabric remains.
Step 6: If you want to bleach or sterilize the bones, transfer to a container Remove them with hydrogen peroxide, when they reached the shade of white you want.
NEVER use bleach. Chlorine-based bleaching damage the bones. Chlorine
remains behind and continues to erode the bone, it is ultimately reduced to white powder.
Hydrogen peroxide is a safer alternative.
Step 7: Some teeth may fall during the maceration process. Once the skull is clean and dry, you can paste them in place with a simple white glue. (PVA glue)
're done

Six Would it bother you squeamish and the smell of blood to soak? Do not worry, there are two other methods that are possible to use to avoid this part. The first is to bury the animal.
bury it so deep enough so that scavengers do not smell and evaita to slip the precious bones.
Depending on the size of the animal, the skull or bones that were buried, it will take three months to one year because all the skin and tissues will decompose and remains the only bone (s)
To make it easier to dig and find an entire skeleton of an animal they bury him in a burlap sack. The bag must be a natural material, rough and textured so that bacteria and not only enter and rot.
Once you've dug your bones, wash them with water and follow the same instructions above using hydrogen peroxide.
The second alternative is the display. Some people have succeeded in leaving the dead animals found on the roof of a warm and sunny home to rot. This is an efficient method if you do not mind the smell you should close it in a dark container, closing the top to get the retention of heat, but not the damage from the sun. Again, the length of time needed depends on the size of the animal or bone.
Please do not throw a deer on the roof! I only recommend this method for parts of an animal larger or smaller, mean creatures like birds and squirrels. If you use the method of exposure should live on a farm or in a more rural area. The neighbors tend to disapprove of decomposing animals next door.


Redness Bones

"Barrow Song" - Telling the Bees

L ' Redness of the bones is a practice found among countries, cultures, religions of the past. Was conducted mainly by people who practice ancestor worship, animal bones but can also be flushed. The process is literally known as "red blood". This is to imitate blood, life force, and the tissue that has left the bones and bring them to life. Redden for human or animal bones, using red ocher mixed with red wine to form a paste and let stand in a jar or covered container for a day or two. If you can not get their hands on red ocher pigment can be replaced with the old red brick dust, old bricks containing ocher. Apply the mixture to clean the bones with your hands and cover the whole bone of the skull with pasta.
leave for another day (half day at least). You can wrap plastic to keep the dough wet or spray from time to time, and then with water or red wine to keep it moist. Keep it moist allows the color to penetrate into the bone, just like the henna in the skin. Then remove the dough and let all the particles that remain dry. When the skull is completely dry, brush off any remaining particles of red ocher.
not wash the bones, but a gentle polishing with a soft cloth is a good thing. Keep the new blush bones on your altar, or in a beautiful box or pouch.

human bones

Possession and reverently of human bones is most commonly found in cultures that practice a long tradition of ancestor worship. It 's still part of the process of mourning in some Asian countries today to excavate the bones of their loved ones after a few years, clean, reassemble them neatly in a box and find them a new home in a tradition called "second burial". Despite the strange idea, is not illegal to possess human bones in Canada and the United States. This does not mean that you can steal, it is illegal, but that it is legal to buy human remains or to convince your parents or grandparents to provide you with their skulls after death (that is, if you can talk to them) .
human bones are used in ritual and magic as a fetish or a ship to house the spirit of the deceased and allow them to remain at the ground floor so a professional can better communicate and work with them. The spirits of the dead are not servants who are not binding and not ordering. Instead, they are allies to help and guide us. Enter your skull or bones in a place of worship, is an ancestral altar or in a container as beautiful as the relics of the churches in the Middle Ages. Send your bids regularly to the bone. Find out if the spirit has a preference for alcohol, tobacco, flowers, food, candy or objects. May be invited to share the essence of your meals.
The person to whom the bones belonged to a spirit of family life can become for you in your art. They can help communicate with the dead and carry messages back and forth.
allowed to travel in and seats that can not be seen or heard with your ears and your eyes. Always be sure to work with in the spirit of love and respect. If you are working with the bones of a family member, make sure you build a friendship with the spirit, as you would with a real person. Do not ask them too much, too soon, but instead try to be consistent in your offering and the fellowship with them first.

human bones can also be used in necromancy.
Necromancy is a form of divination which works with the spirits of the dead. One calls them and is presented with questions about past, present or future. It is believed that the dead are not bound by time and are excellent if oracles consultants.

animal bones

"All the shells and bones
Enters spey-wife,
Widdershins. ".

Kathleen Jamie, Kathleen Jamie Atoms of Delight, Delight atoms

animal bones are used in folk magic and witchcraft, which is common to work with animal spirits as a family member, guides and protectors. As human bones, bones of animals can also be used for land or spirit of this animal kingdom. The bones act as a vessel where the family spirit of the animals go to live when working with them. This does not mean that the spirit lives in the 'bone all the time, but instead is their home when you call. The bones of animals and the skulls can be placed on an altar or carried in a bag of medicine, to work with them outside or on the road. The bones of animals may be used to invoke the mythological creatures. To do this you need only combine the bones of different animals that make creature.Ad example, bind together the parts of an eagle and the lion to summon a griffin or combine snake, lizard, and the bones or feathers of a bird of prey to evoke a dragon.

The bones of animals may be incorporated into jewelry ritual for direct contact, and easier to communion with the spirits of the bones that belong to us. The jewelry ritual using the bones in a more practical and direct, to bring your pet in family rituals. If you only have very small bones, or an insect to delicate work you can put the pieces in a glass bottle and use it both as a ship on your altar or tie it with a wire or chain to wear around the neck skin. Wearing animal bones, you can take the attributes and powers of the animals to which they belong, like the teeth fox 's cunning, bones owl to see in the dark, or the bones of a snake for its ability to renew and change your life .
The bones may also confer magical abilities of an animal. Many animals are "shamanic" in nature and allow the professional to take their ability to travel between worlds. These creatures known to travel between the kingdoms of the earth, sea and sky, or who have extraordinary powers of transformation include frogs, toads, snakes, all the birds (especially waterfowl), alligators, crocodiles, turtles, beavers, otters, dragonflies, spiders , beetles, butterflies, cicadas, and more.

animal bones can be used for ritual instruments. Many traditional rattles are made of skulls, turtle shells, or bones not closely related to the sound they make while slamming each other.
The bones can also be tied to poles or sticks, sticks, or even sewn on clothes rituals. The bones of animals, especially chicken and bird bones, are used for methods of divination in many traditional cultures. These can also be introduced into European practice and affects over Futhark Runes Ogham or so slices of antler instead of the usual materials of wood and stone.

The animal bones, skins, feathers yet another important use in magic-in "transformation" or, in identification with and be possessed by the spirit. These pieces can be worn as jewelry or worn as a costume, as we go into a trance and you leave your body so that your spirit takes the form of an animal or in possession of animals temporarily. Another method of using animal parts to enter in essence involves the development of an ointment magic potions or the bones, hair, skin, feathers, and plans to rub on the skin or ingested before groped in a trance. If you compose an ointment, include herbs and / or fungi associated with that animal, and pieces of their hair or nails, in the recipe.
If you are making a tea or tincture as a potion, make sure to do the same thing. The dyes are much more appealing to a tea of \u200b\u200bbone and hair. For more information see my article: On the Transformation .

ancestral altars and rituals

A gem of Samhuinn for my readers - a Retrieved from "Spirit Work "will not be published as a library even if it is useful for workers in the spirit.

Ancestral Shrines & Altars

Most ancient cultures and modern, yet retains a cult of the ancestors has the habit of keeping shrines and altars set up at any time. The shrine or altar of the house is where the ancestors are told of everything that happens in life, all our joys and sorrows. The offers are given, as is thought that the dead need them: the food we receive from our libations and burnt offerings of food. On the altars and shrines the ancestors are a resource for help and advice. Every time something is asked or received by the spirits of the dead, something has to be given in return. This can be anything from libations, and burnt offerings of food, incense, or because the fumes are like food for the spirits.

The ancestor shrine

The ancestral shrine can be anything from a small shelf at a table complete with pictures of dead loved ones and property, several candles, a bell, water, flowers, and a plate of 'offer for libations or food without salt. The cult provides that the altar cloth should be white and offers candles and white or blue. This is a devotional space to pay homage to their ancestors, especially those of your family. I have recommended a sanctuary for those who do not work They want to delve deeply into the spirit, but they want to honor their ancestors regularly.

The shrines can be eutilizzati for deals daily or weekly and are a good place to share the joys and sorrows of your life with your dead relatives. A good daily practice is to dedicate a portion of your meal for the dead to the shrine before sitting down to eat alone. Other good deals to be left to an ancestral shrine include their favorite foods from the dead, alcohol, tea, coffee, tobacco, flowers and incense. It 'best to offer only what the individual spirit favorite when he was alive. He had a sweet tooth? He was a smoker? Take these things into consideration when choosing for the right offer.

The ancestor altar

The ancestral altar is an altar full of work with dowsing tools as well as vessels with the spirit house the spirits of the dead. The altar must be large enough to hold your tools and supplies. The cloth covering should be in black for your work of necromancy. . The candles should be used necromantic black, and the candles on the altar and candles offer
Other supplies may include, personnel staff, or stick of blackthorn or yew, an incense burner or pot, a bowl bid and the cup, and one or more vessels for the spirito.Sia the cauldron or bowl should be cleaned and filled with fresh water and on the altar before each rite of necromancy. In general, the altar of the ancestors may include a set of tools and materials that can be used both outdoors and indoors, rather than having just a static altar in your home. If you do not want to have an altar at home for your work with the spirit, you can store supplies, and bring them out when you will use.

Spirit ships

The most commonly used to work regularly with the ancestors is a vessel for their spirit where it can live as long as you visit our world. Such vessels must always be devoted to this purpose and spirit that is invitation to remain at 'internal Haitian Voudou In such a ship is known as the Govi, which is a spirit pot that is home to the ancestral spirit of the priest (ESS) or even by Ghedi. In European Witchcraft, using a window of spirit (container) that can be filled with anything from cremation ashes, bones, or personal belongings of the deceased along with herbs that promote communication with the dead. A jar of spirit can also take the form of a fetish, like a real skull, wood, ceramic stuffed with hair or anything deceased relative. A quartz crystal is also a good addition, as many cultures around the world think that this stone has the ability to communicate with the spirits and keep them on the ground in our kingdom in order to better communicate with them. The ancestral spirits should never be bound or trapped in the ship, but will be free to come and go as they please. They should also always be called with love and not a pretender forzata.Questo communication may in fact have an impact.

Ships spirit

Rituals of Necromancy

If you choose to summon a chthonic deity or the spirits of the dead to ask a question or ask a favor, time is important. For best results, perform the rituals in the period following sunset, dawn, midnight, black moon, waning moon, the autumn equinox, Samhain, the Winter Solstice, Imbolc, or the Equinox Spring. I met people who have adopted a policy of keeping doors open with the spirits of the dead in their home. E 'especially dangerous if you have children or do not live alone, it endangers not only themselves but also your family and roommates. Invite a strange spirit in the house is like entering a stranger met on the street in the house - could be both a better person, or both could kill you and rob you, you never know. The familiar spirits must be called only within a protective circle and must be banned later. Ancestral spirits have no need of formality, but make sure it is indeed your ancestor who is talking and not a demon or malicious impostor. This can be done by asking questions to which only your ancestor might know the answer or simply using their full name or the genealogy of base every time you summon.

To summon your ancestral spirits, call them, and burned incense to attract the spirits to help and communicate with them. You also need to burn an offertory incense to the spirits as food to sustain them, while visiting our kingdom. However, be sure not to burn incense-eating until you are certain you have summoned the spirit. If you are working with the gods, a shaman, a medium, a gatekeeper or pyschopomp should open the doors between worlds and let the spirits of the dead pass through the door - the most common is Hecate and Hermes. . A traditional offering to the gods is the olive oil and honey. Finally, no forget to send away what you invite. This is especially important if you work with an unknown spirit. Make sure it is not a spirit or a deity underworld, closes the door between worlds when the ceremony is over.

ritual offering to the spirits

This simple ritual is necessary: \u200b\u200b•

white corn flour, egg shell powder, or • chalk
a white candle with stand (do not forget matches or a lighter)
• food and / or a libation
• Incense (If more coal use incense)
• small garden trowel

Take your material el 'offer (s) and go to a fork or a cemetery. Both must have an intersection of at least three four-way. A juxtaposition of earth is preferred in order to dig a hole to let the offer. If the intersection has only access to a paved and dirt trails are near, be sure to leave only an offer of alcohol or incense instead of food so that you are not d 'burdens on the people who lead them. Better to use a cross with a low activity or time of day when there will be seen, in some areas the police may be called because of your supposed "satanic activity." Once a junction, draw a seal such as those shown below near the center, where the roads intersect if you can.

If you are in a graveyard, draw the seal of the tomb of your choice on the ground where the body should lie. If you're worried about the seal in the graveyard because you could be seen or accused of having done so, draw the seal into the ground with the index finger. Dig a small hole in the center of the seal and light a candle. Then clarify your intent and you are going to leave the offer. If it is a god, he can recite a spell or offertory invitation for them. If you bring tobacco or incense, burn them now. If you have a cigar, turn on the candle flame and take a few mouthfuls, blow the smoke on the seal, then insert the lit cigar in a hole. Pour the libation and / or supply of food in the hole and cover and move away without looking back. After performing this ritual, the witch may request the spirit or the gods to appear to ask anything you want to achieve something, anything, to ask for permission to collect the earth from the grave to use their magical powers and abilities or for . Where do you come all the legends that deal is "devils at the crossroads?


Consecration Spirit in the ritual vase

The ritual that follows can be used to consecrate a ship or fetish that will be used to work with the spirit of an individual or a group. For this ritual you require:

• A vessel (box, vase, jar, skull, or a fetish object)
• A white candle
• Incense Burner
• Coal •
ritual knife
• Personal belongings of the deceased
• Red powder or brick red, ocher powder mixed with water or red wine
• anointing oil (olive oil standard)
• Incense for summons (Ie, wormwood, sandalwood, copal ...)
• Incense offering (myrrh, pomegranate peel, sandalwood, ...)

Before the ship or fetish can be used to work with the spirit, must be run a ritual of consecration, to connect the spirit to the ship, and invite the spirit in it. The most common spirits within boxes are the spirits of those who practice family who have recently died or have been dead for generations.
The practitioner can add whatever is appropriate in the pot: a rosary ring, a letter written by the late, photographs, obituaries, flowers from the funeral, teeth, hair, nails, scraps of everything regard to the spirit in which the ship is intended. If you want to devote a fetish you could drill a hole in it to have a place to put such personal items. If the spirit that will last lavoraree is long dead, and personal items can not be obtained, using a piece of red wool, to create the connection.
Herbs can also be used in place of personal items, such as wormwood, marshmallow root, copal resin, or rate.

After sunset during the waning moon or dark, creating the space for worship ritual according to your tradition. Call the gods with whom you work with the guards at the gates of hell, and ask them to open doors and lift the spirit you want to work with. If it does not work with the Deity, call your spirit guide to help you open the door to the underworld.
If you are a soul, animals like owls and snakes psychopomp are well known.
Once this is done, place a white candle and the ship or the fetish on the altar. Anoint the candle with the oil is light in the name of the ancestors.
Grease the pan with the oil and the mixture of red ocher. Burning incense
evocation of the spirit is called by name as we know it or lineage, and invite them to reside in the vessel.
It 'better to have one spirit to the ship, but the spirit guides can get along when it's a fetish like the ancestors of witchcraft, the blood of your ancestors, or ancestors of a specific skill. Then, burn incense and offer signal your intention, the ship will be their home, when you endorse. Ask if they will agree to work with you to use the ship.
If you do not have second sight, watching the candle flame to flicker, and tremors of ignition for a "yes" or if the flame goes out or is inexplicably low for a "no".
Sometimes it is the incense that sparks will exit as a signal, piuttostola candle.
If the spirit agrees, show them the way to the ship and for you, biting her thumb with the knife ritual, or a sterilized needle, then with a drop blood anoint the forms of the ship with the drop of blood. If the vessel will be used by a group, each member will perform this action. The ship is now connected to you and spirit. If you prefer not to draw blood, you can add your "parts" or personal items (hair or nail clippings) into the ship. Burning incense
more deals.
Continue with a ritual that program works with spirit, and a Communion Rite with the ancestor as follow, or ask the spirit to return to the underworld, to your god or your driving or you will be asked to close the gates, and end of the rite.



Communion Ritual with 'Ancestor


This ritual is appropriate for an individual or group. We require: •

bread, butter and honey or bread, olive oil and salt (for the spirits new) •
the spirit (s) 's favorite meal or food (familiar spirits) •
a libation (wine , mead, beer, whiskey, vodka, rum, or other drinks) •
tobacco, hemp, or incense offertory
• an altar of the ancestors and supplies (including a Fetiche)

• • convening incense incense banning

Building Your sacred space as you are protected usually do so within your tradition and culture, and call any gods of the underworld with which he worked as an assistant in the ritual. Use a stick personal ritual, or a pillar, tree, tree trunk or what used to access the World Tree (see create the circle and the World Tree for more information) and called the ancestors. Burning incense evocative and draw those with whom you would like to name.
If you do not know their name, list their ancestry *. If your ancestors are not (related to you by ties of blood literally) be very specific. Once you are sure you have called the proper spirit, invite them to share a meal with you. They will livelihood from it and your offering of incense, smoke and alcohol. Eat and drink with them.
The sharing of food connects the present with the ancestors you have gathered, both physically and spiritually.
This community does not mean you have to stand in solemn silence. Speak, Celebrate, and laugh as if you were at table with family and friends. This in itself is an offer that allows the dead to get a taste of life.

not asking for anything for the dead, the first few times you perform this ritual. If you start to have more than one fellowship per month, then it would be appropriate to make requests. It is better and more common to ask the blessings of prosperity, fertility and luck. After a further step these communications to more complex, you and your group might begin to ask the spirits for help in divination.
When you're finished, burn your incense in the notice, give a clear goodbye, and ask the ancestors to return to the underworld, according to your representation of the World Tree down. If you work with a
psychopomp, you can also ask them to direct their minds in the kingdom and close the door between worlds. End the ritual, close the space or the ritual circle, lower energies, and the ritual is over.

Circle Ritual and L 'Axis Mundi

Whether you call ritual circle, trampling the mill , or the compass spins, the intention of this practice is to create a space ritually purified to open a door between the worlds protected so that the ritual can communicate with the gods or spirits from other realms. The method of creating the circle, as is done today in Wicca, is based on that of the Golden Dawn, and also the key of Solomon. "Circle" was already used very time before the magic Wicca (Read the Circle for more details.) , but not with the Wiccan way of invoking the four elements and the element in more than spirit, using staves, invoking an athame (or latro instrument). Despite his young age, this method is very effective and a Wiccan practice for magicians ritualists especially if they are influenced by Gerald Gardner, Paul Huson, or The Key of Solomon itself. Good resources to draw upon for the creation of the circle are Wiccan Mastering Witchcraft by Paul Huson and A Witch's Bible Janet and Stewart Farrar.

What witches modern witches and pagans today do not realize is that creating a circle are actually and universally regarded as well as access to tree of the Worlds or Axis Mundi.
Create Circle is actually a misnomer. It is not a circle or a ring to be created, but rather a perfect sphere with a dome above the ground and the other side below. In my personal opinion, when you throw a circle by invoking the four elements and spirit Akasha, is only creating one half of the sphere. This is half access to the upper world of gods and ignoring the realm of the dead below. Create a circle is the 'act of duplicating the World Tree, or access the AXIS mundi.
This intention is in all pagan cultures around the world is a polytheistic beliefs and animist. For example, the Egyptians and their djed the god Osiris, who is considered the backbone of the 'axis mundi of the world, just as God Legba Voodoo is associated with the Haitian and African - Poteau Mitan the peristyle hounfour s' , Legba is also seen as the backbone and the World Tree. The Poteau Mitan (pole) is used to draw or write LWA ancestors known as the gedi .

Norwegians and Scandinavians also had piles of wood in the middle of their temples and places of worship outside. These poles were made of wood or where they live plants and have been in the ritual took this representation Yggdrasil - The World Tree in Norway. When the Vikings sailed to settle in Iceland, have brought their poles carved with them and threw them into the sea because it was believed that if the poles floated was a sign that the land had been blessed, and they could settle there.
They also believed that to communicate with the gods must reach them through the World Tree and it was the same for the spirits of the dead and the gods of the underworld. The Mayas, Aztecs, Sumerians, Assyrians, Celts, Greeks, Hindus, as well as the tribes and the natives have all had a world-tree or "tree of life." In some cases, the World Tree is a "world mountain" or a huge stone standing.

In some pagan cultures, the axis mundi itself is considered a god able to keep the gates of all the kingdoms and, instead of creating a circle, the god is called through the use of a tree, pole , pillar, staff or wand that God World Tree is believed clothes. In many cultures where representations come to us, depict men dancing around singing to induce trance.
So this divinity was delighted by the participants, with offers and she was asked to open the gate (for the upper or lower). for the Norwegians was the god Odin and Heimdal, Hermes to the Greeks, to the Gauls on Esus, for Haitians to Papa Legba, and so on. A Roman magician would ever called Hecate, rather than Mercury to open the door to the underworld.
Depending on the culture, there were also the deities that were specifically or guarding a gate of the underworld or realm of the gods.


Create a circle ritual for individuals or groups

There is more than a way to access the World Tree. One is internal and one is external. For the external method, which is of shamanic origin, are called the four directions (north, east, south and west), but do not have elements corresponding to them. So whether the world above and one below are called after the four cardinal points for a total of six directions by invoking the duality of the World Tree and open the door to the afterlife.
When it comes to calling the four main directions could be to invite the four dwarfs associated with them in the Norse faith, faith of the four Maya API, or the four supernatural creatures associated with the four directions in an ancient Chinese belief, depending on what tradition provides for personal practice.
For the above and below, you can use the words the realm of the gods and the dead used in its cultural tradition or mythology.
Drumming (Case ritual of playing the drum) is a common method of convening the six directions and many pictures of the world tree is believed to be the rhythm of the earth or the battery of the earth. Drums were regarded by shamans as they were a horse or a deer, which allowed the shaman to travel up and down the World Tree or invoke the World Tree itself. The frame drum is particularly useful for this purpose.
sing a song while playing the drums is an effective method to create the sphere and access the World Tree.

The following is an outline of what the Ritualist is creating along with two ancient symbols that reflect common. Think of the circle (the ball) as a lift metaphysical moves up or down the 'axis mundi . Such practice in traditional witchcraft that are influenced by the teachings of Robert Cochrane, you can see from the pattern is very similar to the Cochrane stick with the two crossed arrows on it and hung a wreath that surrounds them.

If you practice witchcraft under the traditional, you can use a stick in rituals to access the World Tree. For the ritual, the stick is stuck in the ground outdoors (a fork is the best).
Does the part on land, down to the underworld like the roots of a tree, the branch that is our kingdom, the teeth that reach the sky that unites the three realms and the opening of a door to the afterlife. After asking for directions to the six gods or spirits, or if it can be taken through the stick must be requested or during the ritual. A tree personnel can be used similarly.

Those with an interest in etymology can find the historical significance of the stick very interessante.Nella Scots and Anglo-Saxon which are more commonly called the club " Stang" relates, the mean pole, stick, or shaft, such as a fork , spinning wheel, walking stick, the radius of a plow, or the axis of a machine. If you dig a little 'more depth in the other word takes on different meanings, "Stang" was also used to indicate key, do it, Arrow, snake poisoning, or a means to stimulate the conscience "(Dictionary of the Scots language). Interesting is not it? It certainly explains
with staff usually accompanies the shamans, sorcerers and magicians of history, folklore and mythology. The Norse word for seeresses , translates as "wand bearer."
These carriers have been able to enter the realm of spirit and in communion with the gods and ancestors for the people of their communities.


access the World Tree

The internal method of accessing the World Tree is the basic method. If the World Tree is a plug then we can also consider our own spine as an axis of the miniature world.
Many myths of the culture and folklore say that human beings were created by trees, but perhaps we were created from the tree? I believe in three sacred elements of earth (ground), water (sea) and air (sky) and the fire is the element that more complete and gives us our intelligence and cunning - the fire spirit .
If I want to walk between the worlds in my body I'm going to a place where the three main elements are the leading fire in my own body. When I want to communicate with gods and spirits of my family or leave my body, I call the four elements in my own body, while I trance in order to cross worlds. This is an internal method, because it is made without any movement or external actions, in addition to the use of hand or perhaps breathing methods to induce trance.
Within us all there is a door to the World Tree. Some can access and others do not. If you are in a tradition that is influenced by the Kabbalah, the internal method may already be very familiar. I personally do not use the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, but this method can also be very effective. Those affected by the practices of yoga can use the chakra to access your internal axis mundi. These methods are not needed East to achieve the same effect, those engaged in another culture.
The internal approach is like 'access to witch or shaman, the road to other worlds and walking between them. Some call this method of astral travel, some other hedge shamanic journey to cross.

Bringing the World Tree in the creation of our ritual circle and do not forget the whys and wherefores of what we do in the ritual as witches, shamans, druids, and wizards.
