Blade and Broom Shop. Saturday, August 25, 2012. Q - Quicksilver #paganblogproject. Quicksilver is more commonly called mercury these days, in honor of the Roman God of the same name. It's Latin (scientific) name is. Oh, how interesting, dear readers! So, say you were making an egregor from quicksilver. What would YOU breathe into that being? There's a watery-ness to this liquid metal already. It is heavy and dense - the heaviest of all the natural liquids on Earth. It is as reflective as a mirror. Sever...

Especially spirit (non-coropreal) familiars. As I wrote in one of those posts:. The word "angel" comes from the Greek ἄγγελος pronounced "angelos". Sure I bet you can be nasty, too. This book ...

Laurelei Black * Aphrodite's Priestess: Babalon Rising Festival, 2014
http://aphroditespriestess.blogspot.com/2014/06/babalon-rising-festival-2014.html
Blade and Broom Shop. Thursday, June 19, 2014. Babalon Rising Festival, 2014. Since the Babalon Rising Festival concluded just a few days ago, I've been trying to process all of the energy and awe that I felt. I'm not sure that I am capable of putting into words what I have been feeling, but I will try for fear that all sense of coherence about those days of magic will drift away. So, a lonely, painful, sad, and isolated year. Cut roads though the woods. Laid sand for the main fire circle. Cleared over 2...

Laurelei Black * Aphrodite's Priestess: Aphrodite's Eyes -- a cowrie divination system
http://aphroditespriestess.blogspot.com/2013/08/aphrodites-eyes-cowrie-divination-system.html
Blade and Broom Shop. Monday, August 26, 2013. Aphrodite's Eyes - a cowrie divination system. About a year ago, I started developing a diloggun-esque divination system. It's very Aphrodisian in nature, but I started with the 16 cowrie method found in the African system. Aphrodite has guided this adventure - giving me the names of eye/mouth pattern and the names of the spreads. Eyes = the smooth, rounded sides of the cowries. Mouths = the open, flatter sides of the cowries. Arise and go into the night.

Blade and Broom Shop. Friday, December 27, 2013. Finding a Mystery in a Well-Known Tale. On a professional writing forum in which I participate, a (romance) author asked the group what type of mystery or suspense we like to include in our stories. The novel I have already written ( Temple of Love. For me, this means that the conflicts that propel the stories forward are already built in. In most cases, they are well-known conflicts - Sappho's tempestuous emotional state and numerous lovers, Helen's l...

Blade and Broom Shop. Friday, July 13, 2012. N - Necromancy #paganblogproject.

Blade and Broom Shop. Monday, October 7, 2013. Big Things are Happening! I haven't posted much lately, but that is largely because I have been so incredibly busy for the last few months. HUGE projects are in the works with me, and I'd love to share with you about them. Liber Qayin - A New Gospel for Witches.
