I’m actually pretty proud of myself guys, haha. It came so naturally and I was so happy! Ok, ok, so here’s what I did.

I had this gold ring that I made of gold wire lying around my room. I made it a little while back because I just felt like it and then never did anything with it. This is the ring:

So out of nowhere, I just got this urge to make it into a sort of….it’s hard to explain. What I did was make it into something that constantly emits grounding and light energies to surround and protect me kind of thing, haha. It was so funny when I first made it and put it on my necklace, for like two days my friends kept coming up to me and touching the ring all in awe; it was very amusing, especailly because they probobly didn’t know why they were drawn to it. What I did to do that though is this:

So, I got a transparent type material baggie, I used a gold one for obvious reasons, but it’s funny because I just found this bag a little while ago and thought I should keep it. ok, but, moving on!

So, I put the ring in the bag and put in some herbs and stones/crystals. Really you should come up with your own mix of herbs and stones/crystals/etc., because the ring eminates a specific energy for YOU! What I used was rosemary and sage for protective energies and some of the stones I put in were rose quartz for love energy and a crystal that amplifies energy. I put in one or two others that I just felt should be in the bag and topped it off with a few sprinkles of salt.

After I finished with that, I went outside and climbed up onto the roof of my house. I should have done it earlier in the day because when I did it, it was near sunset, and so the sun wasn’t very powerful. Anywho, so, what I did was call on the God and Goddess (I should have opened a proper circle but I had only thought of that later) and asked them to help me infuse the ring with loving, protecting, grounding and light energies. I held the baggie up to the sun, making sure to catch the light in the crystals and ring and held it up to the sun until I felt it was charged enough. I thanked the Gods for their time and help and let the energy calm a bit before getting down from the roof and going back inside. I wanted to leave my baggie out in the sun a little longer but was scared to leave it outside incase it rained or I forgot about it or something so i did this instead.

Just left it on my window sill, haha.

After a day or two I took out the ring, cleansed the stones and have yet to burn the herbs. But now I’m wearing it on my necklace!

I have to recharge it again but yeah! I was kind of proud of myself, haha.

So I<m with my gf for the weekend, and so far we’ve tried journeying - communicating with angels in a higher realm with our higher selves -, yoga, energy transfering, energy protection strategies and some other random things.

Also, my energy is changing; I’m usually surrounded by dark energies, and so every time I do something with light energy, it feels uber weird, and since I’ve been trying to suroround myself with light, the energies inside me are transfering kind of and it’s so, bloody, weird.

It’s a bit late right onw so forgive me if the way I’m writing is incredibly awkward and nonsensical.

The journeying was weird, it was this weird thing where you listen to an hour long CD and go into a trance kind of state and communicate with the Archangels. I literally passed out about 5 minutes into it, just went totally black, and woke up about half an hour into the CD. A simialr thing happened with Cierra, my girlfriend, except she could really feel the energy a lot stronger than me and was sort of slipping in and out of conciousness, also, she woke up more because her mum and brother were being noisy on the uppper floor. I don’t remember why I woke up, but I did, and I still don’t remember anything.

Cierra says that over the next couple of days I’ll be getting the information that I got in my subconcious but so far I don’t remember much at all if anything.

There’s nothing else really worth reporting I suppose, except maybe the energy transfering.

We really didn’t know what to do, so we sort of just made something up. What we did was this: we put our projective hands together and our receptive hands together, my projective hand is my left and hers is her right, so we had to criss cross our hands. Then we just sort of meditated until we could feel and summon our seperate energies and finally transfer them into eachother vis our hands.

Why we did this is because we both need the energy that the other has. I have a lot of spiritual energy, as in, it’s easy for me to go up into the higher realm with little to no trying. I often find it hard to ground myself and connect with the Earth. I’m much more connected to the Moon and the Sun (but more so the Moon); Cierra has a lot of that kind of grounding energy, she’s very connected to the Earth and finds it a bit difficult to get up into that higher realm. And so we trasnfered our energies and it actually worked! (for the most part, I sort of rejected her grounding energy a bit because i wasn’t used to ut and it freaked me out a bit. Also, if I hadn’t blocked out hers, it would have been very hard to give her mine.

She says I need to work on that…And work on getting used to light energies..and to stop getting so freaked out by them because dark energy is bad and such….and also that I have to stop being so frustrated with myself when things don’t work out right away…

I have a lot of demons (in myself is what I’m reffering to, the literal ones shouldn’t be much of a problem) to get rid of, and I can’t wait until I do, because it will hopefully lead me on to do great things for myself and other.

Blessed Be~

P.S. I helped her move her stuff from her altar room into a bigger, more spacious room and drew her out (more like traced, because I have skills like that ((this is sad, I’m an A art student guys))) some symbols to cover up spme holes in the wall.

We’re going to some odd breathing and movement syncronyzation thing tommorow morning and having a meditation circle in the evening. Can’t wait~

P.P.S. once again, pardon my spelling, grammar, awkwardness, etc., thanks. Night to you all, may the Moon watch over you.

Me trying to put together my three BoSs…I started three and they all have different things in them so this is what happens when I try to jam everything into one…I have yet to finish doing so.

sorry the picture is sideways

My hand’s there for size comparison.

So yeah, I got bored and made a candle at 1:00am when I should have been finishing my homework (it is now 3:38am and I have yet to finish it, but that is not the point here!) the candle was fully hardened and usable by 3:00 am.

Here’s what I did:

I found an old candle that wouldn’t burn porperly because the person that made it had one layer of wax and then a more resistant kind of wax layer on the outside of that, so the inside would melt, but the outside wouldn’t and the wick would drown.

So what I did was this; over the course of this long weekend I slowly melted the candle down, dripping the wax into a bowl until about half of the candle was in the bowl (it was a tall and fat candle.) And when we got home tonight - we were at my cottage during the weekend - I waited for everyone to fall asleep (because my family would kill me if they knew I did half the things I did) and put that huge glob of wax from the bowl into a small pot and melted it down. I hated the colour it had turned as I burned some of the wax and it looked a dark grey colour. When it dried after wards it turned out to be a sort of grey/green..? It’s an odd colour but it like it.

The original candle was sort of a light whiteish green. Once the wax was melted, I poured it into a tall and wide glass (that I greased earlier for easier extraction afterwards - it helped!) put the wick in (I had hardened the ”wick” ((a bunch of string I braided together)) first by continually dipping it in the hot wax and then cold water until satisfied with the thickness) and poured a bit of water on the surface to harden it and hold the wick in place. It looked a bit funny so I smoothed out the top while it was still warm and then put it in the freezer.

I left it there for about an hour and a half/two hours, easily took it out if the glass, and lit it (with some dificulty as the wick took a bit of time to catch for whatever reason) and now I have this! But for whatever reason, the wick keeps going from bright fire to dim light, it’s odd, but it doesn’t really matter I suppose.

It is my candle and I quite love it and a, very proud of it!

I’m not really sure how I feel about them…

People that don’t know how to control their energies and emotions - I really can’t be around them.

Since you have to release you’re negativity before meditating, that’s what everyone was doing in the group, and being an empath, I picked up on all of it; and holy was there ever a lot. I don’t know how to let go of things, so once I pick things up like that, they stick with me, and it causes a lot of problems.

It’s mostly just the people with the really high energies/emotions, like people with anxiety or depression and the such that I have to watch out for, but like, my gosh, sometimes being an empath makes me seriously physically sick. Not to mention it makes me incredibly awkward since I can’t touch people, their touch transfers their energies into me and sometimes vise versa if I’m under a lot of pressure or something, so that also causes some problems; people oftent think I’m being rude but really it’s just for everyone’s benefit!

Getting off topic!!!

My girlfriend had her first meditation circle today and one of the lady there, oh my gosh I had two anxiety attacks and literally almost vomited (this was over 4 hours ago and I’m still nateous) because of her output of energy. I had to actually leave the room while my girlfriend was grounding one of the other ladies (who was also a contributor to my illness as she was quite sad despite the fact that it didn’t even show), I just couldn’t handle it.

Luckily though, she reminded me later on of something she showed me once, how to close my aura so that I could block out the energies a better; and am I ever glad she reminded me. (she also smudged me and herself and the room and the rest of the people a few times but anyway!)

Right away, infront of everyone there a whole 5 people the most uncontrolable smile broke out across my face and I couldn’t stop giggling, it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders.

Sadly, it didn’t really help the damage that had already been done (the splitting headache and the nausea) but it put a stop to most of what was coming in and it was a great relief.

Also, my girlfriend has faeries in her basement, lol. They were messing with me while I was sitting out on the couch waiting for them to finish up with meditating. They were knocking things over and making odd little sounds, I wasn’t afraid, but I was kind of just like…’what…’

Anywho…well, besides almost passing out from the overwhleming energies of the people in the group (my girlfriend, Cierra, was getting a headache also so I wasn’t the only one feeling it), it was actually rather nice and it went very well.

While we were meditating there were energies that came into the room with us…I believe Cierra said they were angels but I beg to differ. Angels feel more authoritive and these felt sort of just…friendly spirits..? I’m not really sure but they were definetly nothing to fear.

Well, I’ll be off now.

Blessed Be!

Hipster pagan. 

Omg

i’m sorry guys i had to

(via galdramadur)

Dancing and singing in a thunderstorm leaves feeling with the most amazing feelings that I’ve experienced so far. <3

I just came inside from doing so, lol.

I connected with the gods, guys. :3

It was beautiful, I was practically in sync with the raw power; with every leap a crack of thunder would sound, with every reach of my hands towards the sky a wave of water heavier than the last would hit me like a wall, every time I stared up into the sky a bolt of lightning would shoot across it.

I litteraly almost passed out from the ecstacy I got from doing this. My hands feel rather funny and my skin seems a bit different. My complection is practically glowing and I don’t know the last time I felt like this.

Ahhhh, I feel as if I’ve just done a great thing, lol.

I tried to look up some sort of ritual for when it’s raining or storming but sadly I found nothing. :c

Oh, and also, if any of you know of any Gods or Goddess or rain, or storms, or even thunder and lightning, it would be a great help if you could message me their names. c:

…Alright, well I don’t really know what else to put here, so I’ll just go now.

~Blessed Be :3

So, i found some stuff on it yesterday and typed it out, so I just thought I’d share with you guys. :)

Just some notes and such.

-           In old times, Beltane was celebrated by drinking mead well into the evening and copulation throughout the night, in a way, honoring the return of the lustful God and the new life of the season.

Just wanna quickly go through the process prepartion. The hide was pre cut and soaked and everything and all we had to do was rub lard (yes, lard) into the wood…don’t ask why, I actually don’t really know…

So, my girlfriend ( my gf’s drum: http://thatoneweirdwiccanchick.tumblr.com/post/22159842145/my-hand-made-first-nations-drum ) and I went to this drum making activity last Saturday where we made Native drums! I’m not sure of the actual name but this is what they look like (this is the one I made):

top view

It’s made of deer hide and I think but I really can’t remember cedar.

underside

And this is the beater that I litteraly finished about half an hour ago:

The beater is made of a small twig about the thickness of my finger and is short enough to fit inside my 12 inch wide drum.

As a handle I wrapped some of the excess deer hide I had around it and used some more to wrap the cotton filled cloth securely to the stick at the top; I then wrapped some thick string/thin rope around the top more for decoration than a precaution.

I found a spear head stone in my vase of crystals and stones and tied it to my beater with some gold wire.

These drums can be used for a number of things such as reiki drumming and sound healing (which I’ll be doing this Saturday for the first time with my drum!) and I’m sure much more but I really coulnd’t tell you for sure.

As you may have noticed, there’s some odd lumps around the edge of my 12” drum.

That would be the various rocks/crystals that I attached with gold wire, like the one I used on my beater.

There’s 15 rocks all around in total, really there should only be twelve because there should only be twelve holes but I made three too many in my excitement from being a natural at making drums. (It was rather easy and I breezed through it for the most part while the others struggled a bit more and took a little longer…I felt special.)

The lady that had organized the drum making had told me to just put some gold tacks over the holes and it would look like a decoration…but seeing as I didn’t have any and she didn’t have hers on hand, I came up with this last night. I have a huge class vase of stones and crystals so I took some of the smaller ones that I liked and wrapped them with gold wire so that they could hang from my drum as a pretty decoration. I rather like how most of them came out. :3

Anywho,

As my girlfriend and I were leaving the husand of one of the lady’s came and gave us these red cloths to wrap our drums in while we weren’t using them. I’m not sure if it’s just because or if it’s some sort of protection against negative energies or the such, but whatever.

As you can see in mylovely quality pictures there’s that red cloth, yes well, I sewed it into a bag with red string and threaded a red ribbon through the top opening.

It would be easier if I could just show you, lol.

That’s what it looks like with the drum (and beater in the drum) in it and the ribbon pulled and tied.

…

I’m rather proud of these atm for some reason, lol.
