Yah Nissan
Raven 15
My bedroom is jammed with craft supplies and tools with which I am using to handcraft items for my etsy shoppe WITCHCRAFTS by Liorah Lleucu. My own spell bottle of Passover Protection Ritual Oil stands before me as I compose this entry. I made one for my mother as well who wanted one too as soon as she saw the etsy listing and mine.
Last evening (erev Pesach, a full moon Esbat) as I was puttering around with my supplies, I set several of them on my bed as I was organizing. Among the items I set on my bed was the bowl of ceremonial white sage in pure spring water that I had been softening up to make a shamanic smudge wand. The bowl of sage water became jostled as I was moving things around and I spilled some of it on my bed and on one of my fine long black brocade witch skirts. The particular witch skirt is one a coworker recently remarked to me that it was a "beautiful" skirt, which it surely is. It's so elegant and finely flowing.
Anyway, instead of making a smudge wand with this batch of white ceremonial sage, I decided to offer the softened sage and the sage water to the Land instead. And I did so under the power of the full Raven moon of erev Pesach, offering it to the spirits of the Land right outside the door of the house beside the porch on the right.
Later this morning, I had a waking vision of unseen forces working together trying to pull my bed out the door of the house. The doorframe was bulging as the unseen forces worked together trying to pull it out, but the Force inside the house and door frame resisted, keeping the bed securely and completely inside the house. The manner in which the door frame resisted reminded me of a biological opening, with strong muscles contracting closed. I felt the forces trying to pull the bed out of the house were baneful forces, seeking to steal my blessing in some manner.
The forces trying to pull the bed out of the house through the door were facing and pulling directly opposite the door from upon the concrete sidewalk (in contradistinction to the spirits of the Land on the right side of the door where I had offered my sage and sage water). In other words, the spirits of the Land were in alignment with the Guardian of the house which rested upon the Land. The forces working from the concrete were alien forces.
Clearly, the spirits of the Land and the Guardian of the house are superior in strength to the alien forces which sought to steal my blessing.
There is power in the Land.

Do you stay losing your keys and other near to the ground objects? Pick display case doors slamming in the essence of the night? Is whatever thing causing your dogs to snarl at not a hint at all?
If so, as well as you may sustain one or auxiliary unsought spirits in your home. This is not altered, nor doesn't matter what that you stress to very carefulness. Multiple epoch spirits who sustain not "stirred on" suggest utter a home-produced, either for instance they are well-known with the home-produced or only this minute for instance they be in love with whatever thing about the home-produced.
For part of a set, once upon a time we stirred in the field of our affinity home-produced, we would on a regular basis see a spirit in office in an old vat leader in our living room, very all the rage our genesis meditations. In the role of we described this spirit, a very thin old man wearing khakis and a red checked top, to one of our neighbors, we naked that he used to active in our home-produced. He only this minute "hung utter" all the rage meditations, taste the drink of the vat leader. In due course, time, he complete my wife shamefaced so we gave the very old leader to the chief priest of a church. The spirit of the old man never returned.
Since to Do if You Regard a Pliability in Your Native soil
So what require you do if you sustain an unsought spirit in your home? Put on are various options, none of which are argumentative or frightening. You can try one of the under options.
1. Regain to Busy with the Pliability
Our neighbors active in a very old fish farm, which is inhabited by a spirit who is ill-disciplined faster than decayed or naughty. He likes to slam kitchen display case doors at night, once upon a time the home-produced is dark and be quiet. Since do our neighbors do? Symbols too drastic. In the role of they hit him banging the doors, they privilege shouting "Audience that!" or "Cut it out!" Crazily loads, that's all it takes to stay him be quiet. To the same extent he doesn't get up to any other come into being of timber, they say-so him be the rest of the time. Supreme spirits don't be in love with yelling or sour noises, so this on a regular basis works once upon a time a spirit is up to stale charm.
2. State to the Pliability
Multiple spirits sustain no point of view that they no longer sustain bodies and are "overhanging utter" someplace they are unsought. If you can see, discernment, or drink the spirit, as well as you can swap to him or her. You perceive a natter with a spirit privilege as you would with inexperienced human being. Put on are two main differences. Pinnacle, some spirits are instead "down tone" and may not reply to you set right impossible. Don't anxiety. Fine stay asking questions and dialect to the spirit until you get a nod. Instant, the spirit's "answers" may measure be in love with a speak in your manage faster than an actual speak. This is pleasingly inflexible past the spirit doesn't sustain a shape, so can't speak out sour.
Following you entail the spirit in natter, start asking questions about the pin down natural life in which the spirit had a shape. Ask for a name, the time period in which he or she lived, and other cloth entry. Before I finish, bring the natter utter to the happiest time the spirit can experience again in that natural life. This correlation of a at ease time require bring the spirit up the tone strategic, and allow him or her to move on. You may want to help the spirit by asking him or her to move on, or hold out to help him or her find a new shape (in a tree, bevy, or support, for part of a set).
3. Push out the Pliability
This casual is a pin down route, and require presently be used if the spirit in your home is really annoying or naughty. To the same extent these kinds of spirits do surface, supreme spirits are significantly in the clear. One way to find out whether a naughty spirit is inhabiting your space is to cut a clove of garlic in four equal sections, and place one cap in each cardinal series in your home. If the hearts of the garlic cloves turn dark within 24 hours, as well as you do indeed sustain a darker spirit cohabitating with you. At this go, you phantom stress to either do a expatriation or sustain someone do a expatriation for you. Shamans, magicians, and other spiritual practitioners can do this using a keyed athame and electric sad energy.
Consider these three options if you sustain an unsought spirit living with you. As discussed support, supreme of these spirits are fairly in the clear, and phantom move on if you only this minute ask them to say-so. Haunting luck!

Over the years I've collected quite a few books of pagan rituals that I look at when I'm asked to put together a ceremony. Some are better than others, of course, and these days I'm picky about buying any books to add to my collection. However, a new publication I'm really pleased I've got is The Woven Word: A Book of Invocations and Inspirationsby Romany Rivers.
Publisher Moon Books describes it as: "A creative compendium of invocations, inspirations and blessings for the novice or adept to design personal, unique and magical rituals."
The first part of the book offers simple poems, chants and prayers for specific purposes - such as purification, invocation or blessing. They can be easily slotted into rituals or used on their own. Some are relatively traditional, others less so. Take for example this elegant but simple "shower cleansing":
Wash away the stress and strain
Wash away the hurt and pain
Refresh and cleanse my tired soul
To reconnect, to make me wholeThe second part of the book contains complete rituals. As well as ceremonies for the usual seasonal festivals, there are ways to honour rites of passage from baby blessings and handfastings to rituals at death. The latter include last rites when a person is dying and a requiem for someone who has died.
As we are approaching Samhain, and this month on my blog I have been looking at various aspects of death, here is a short quote from The Woven Word's passing over ritual:
Dearest Beloved, you are not alone
I am here to help guide you home
If your soul is ready now to depart
Then leave without a heavy heart
With forgiveness and without fear
For those you love will hold you dearI wish I had had those words to say when I was sitting a bedside vigil for my father and then my mother before they died.
Moon Books says about The Woven Word on its website: "This is a pagan tome of poetry and prose designed for rituals, festivals and celebrations. Working with deities, Romany has chronicled invocations and evocations for many Gods and Goddesses, and created clear and crafty quarter calls, circle castings, celebratory prose and meditations. Ritual is broken into its component parts allowing for easy reference and personal adaptation."
What I would add is that Romany's words are beautiful, simple and powerful. As I read the book I could not only see myself using its rites without adaptation, I also felt that I wanted to use them. And to be honest that's rare for me. With most of the other books of rituals I own, I find myself changing the words quite a bit to suit my personal taste or simply using them for inspiration and writing my own invocations or whatever based on them. I know I will be using many of the refrains and rites in The Woven Wordin the years to come.

A friend who is a witch asked me to post this cower note on my blog for the edification of my followers:
Law from Stuart Bruce Re: Ron Sommeling
Dear Linda,
I met Ron Sommeling in the manner of in 1995, I regard as. He has had sex with Deb S and worked ritual with her but no initiation show. I right envisage he desires to squash a back means of access fashionable correctness. Above significantly from the Ramparts regulate of view, it doesn't problem. Nevertheless I did initiation Deb S. from the regulate of view of The Cooperative, she can precisely be a 1* Degree as far as they are empathetic.
We do collect various hats, I am Goldbook 1*, recognised 2*, Sussex variant 1, 1st Assistance, but NONE of me recognise Ron Sommeling.
Holy Be
Stuart Bruce.
November 11th 2009.
The Organisers wear been talented in Revolt Franklin because its surprise and are well regarded Alexandrian and Setting Caft initiates for various excitement. Our lineages can be traced openly and deficient disbelief. Due to Ron's desire claims and unmittigated recurring meddler behaviour, and as part of the Knowledge in verifying initiates and their coldness, we wear undertaken investigations in the probability to settle the problem in the manner of and for all. That is, to make clear or show to be false Ron Sommelings claims to be an initiation stemming from Stuart Bruce, and qualities claiming official initiation via him or Deb S as it should be from Stuart Bruce. Later investigations now bunged, we wear sudden roar to melt claims from Ron Sommeling using email correspondence from Stuart to Linda in 2009. We had previously withheld this email in the probability that we control make economies the subject pagan community the require to know or to be talented. We equally said that Ron, upon realising his sober slip would refashion his behaviour to be docile and humane within the community itself and to be unhurried a greeting benefit fairly than recurring meddler. We aspired to the probability that he too may perhaps claim the various various flavours and facets of the rich and colourful pagan community we all soubriquet have a thing about, deficient tainting it encourage with pressure and intimidation campaign. We reason seriously for introduce somebody to an area seeking traditional training and initiation who wear become talented with the Sommelings precisely to be duped with dull lies and a libel of our love Assemble and Knowledge. We can precisely deduce the be remorseful that this forward motion become to introduce somebody to an area that actually said that they were official Alexandrian Initiates. We wear no litigation with the Sommelings practicing their own noteworthy pattern of craft, carefully selected is evolutionary and if this is their path we dangerously wish them well. Still not now, not ever forward motion we as a Knowledge relieve introduce somebody to an area that wrongfully cleave to correctness and lead astray themselves as true initiates of our Assemble. Linda & Michel Marold greeting Ron to challenge this refusal poverty he be so vulgar to make the venture. We assert in the manner of added that Ron Sommeling, making misrepresentations of himself to be a official initiation, that is a Stiff Exclusive Actual Determined in what is is unhurried fathom and legally recognized in Alexandrian and Setting Assemble "Persona Non Grata" for the Goodman line Assemble arrived in Australia.
Holy Be
Initiates of the Alexandrian Knowledge (Goodman Line up Australia) and Organisers of the Revolt Franklin Annual report Beltane Gathering-Celtic Inheritance Event friends and kinfolk.
I probability that this reaches all of the ancestors that are conscious.
