The Solitary Witches Rede - My Way of Life

The Solitary Witch's Rede

I bide no law but the law of the heart

My coven sisters are Angels and Spirits fair

Growing in wisdom, honing my Art 

I turn to the East, inhaling the morning Air

Standing in my power, reaching ever higher

I open my arms to the Sun and greet Fire

Mother of the Ocean, I am your daughter

I look West, safe in Your clear blue water

I accept this form and honour my birth 

In Service to Humanity, I bow to Earth

What I send out comes back to me 

This holds true and is clear to see

I need no law of three times three 

The Wiccan Rede applies not to me

My Rede is my own - I do not take part

I am a Solitary Witch and I trust my own Heart

Four Thieves Vinegar Information and Recipe

Four Thieves Vinegar

Herbal lore has it that, while the Plague was raging in France a rash of burglaries of plague victims' homes was discovered. No efforts was made, however, to apprehend the thieves, as it was assumed what they would soon succumb to the contagion in the homes they had robbed...

The thieves carried on their crime spree for some time, and people begun to wonder why they had not become ill and die. It was then that the authorities began to pursue them... to discover the secret of their immunity of the Plague.

Once the burglars had been apprehended, they struck a bargain with the authorities that they should be set free in exchange to revealing the secret to their immunity to the Plague.

It was then that the four thieves revealed the herbal disinfectant formula that rendered then immune to the Plague.

Current theories suggest that the formula, now called "Four Thieves Vinegar", may offer protection against fearsome possible threats, such as the flu, smallpox and biological weapons, which concern us today. As all of its ingredients are either strong anti-bacterial agents or have potent anti-viral properties.

1 part lavender, dried

1 part sage, dried

1 part thyme, dried

1 part lemon balm (Melissa), dried

1 part hyssop, dried

1 part peppermint, dried

1 handful garlic cloves

raw (unpasteurized), organic apple cider vinegar

In a glass jar, place all dry ingredients. Add raw (unpasteurized), organic apple cider vinegar to cover. Place jar in a cool place and let sit, at room temperature, for the weeks. Strain off herbs and garlic, and decant to the glass bottle or jar with a tight fitting lid.

Uses:

Take a teaspoonful several times daily

add to salads either directly or in a salad dressing.

for personal protection, add a teaspoonful to herb water.

Use as a topical spray for disinfecting surfaces and or skin.

New Moon Manifestations Witch's Secret

New Moon Ritual Bath

New Moon is here tonight, This is what i'm  planning doing tonight! what are your ideas for tonight.

House Cleaning Spells - Sweeping The Floors

Every time I clean my house I usually have a little spell that I do for each task. Here is one of the one that I use while sweeping my floors.

"Sweep, Sweep

Sweep the ground.

All negativity

shall be bound.

I banish all

That is profane.

Only Positive

shall remain."

Has anyone else used this Spell before?

Share your house cleaning spells.

Here is another way to spell for when you sweep  your rooms in your home or business.

"Thrice swept round the room

each a blessing by the besom

broom

may all negativity flee

pleasant shall this room now be."

Imbolc Ritual Fertility Doll

Imbolc is the opposite of Lammas when the corn Mother is made, and this festival also sees another form of fertility doll, but this time its for Brigid, or bride. These were traditionally made from oats, but can be made from any type of corn. You can either fashion a full doll or just tie up a few pieces of corn into a representative style and shape.

The Bridal Bed

Once you have made the fertility doll, dress it with lace and ribbons and lay it in a basket with flowers and a wand to create the virgin Goddess bridal bed. Light white candles for purity on either side of the basket then go to the front door and quietly call:

"Bride's bed is ready. Let bride come in Bride is Welcome"

In Celtic Beliefs, you are inviting in the virgins potential fertility and nurturing qualities.

Make a fertility Doll for Brigid and Place it in a bridal bed, to welcome the virgin into your home.

Imbolc Ritual Planting Seeds

Imbolc is right around the corner and in honor of it there are may things that we can do to celebrate it. One way is Planting seeds. Just as the seeds are germinating in the earth, Imbolic is a time in which you should imagine your thoughts and ideas starting to warm up after being in hibernating through the winter time. Here is a way to do it

1. Choose a quiet spot outdoors, in your garden or a local park or even beneath your favorite type of tree or bush.

2. Plant a seed or bulb in the ground - to make this place more special to you, choose the seed of your preferred plant or perhaps one associated with your zodiac sign.

3. Then light a small, white candle (to represent the virgin goddess purify) sit and watch it burn down. As you do so, imagine that the seed you have planted represents the thoughts and ideas you have sown in hope of the year ahead.

Plant a bulb for Imbolc. This sacred ritual will help to nurture future plans

Imbolic Ritual Making a Brigid's Cross

At Imbolc, it was traditional to make a Brigid's Cross to welcome the goddess into the home. These were hung over doors or windows for the year then burned and replaced at next Imbolc. Make your own Brigid's Cross. Here are some instructions.

1. Bind two sticks of equal length to form a cross.

2. Imagine your cross is Marge of four sticks and number them 1-4, form the top, going round clockwise.

3. Tie a silver ribbon around stick 1, close to the centre of the cross, then take it to the right of the cross, then take it to the right of stick 2 and wrap it around the back. From the left of stick 2, take the ribbon round to the right of stick 3 and wrap it round the back; take it from the left of stick 3 to the right of stick 4 and so on. Continue weaving in this way.

4. when its complete adorn your cross with other decorative items.

Make a Brigid's cross with sticks and silver ribbon, to hang up for the whole year. 

Imbolc Ritual Purification Bath

With Imbolc there are many ways in which someone could celebrate. In one way you could do a Purifying bath in which one could do a ritual cleansing that would give someone a fresh start. So take a ritual bath at Imbolc in your own homemade "healing well". Here are some instructions.

1. First Collect some snowdrops and then set the scene in your bathroom with lit candles around the bath tub, to signify the burning away of old ideas as well as the coming of the light. Choose white candles for purity and green to recall and welcome the spring.

2. Burn juniper oil in a burner and put a drop or two in the bath water. This oil is chosen because it is a very powerful auric cleanser.

3. Summon Brigid with the snowdrops, scattering them in the bath. 

4. Relax in the water, using an apple green soap - and a white towel to dry off. 

Collect a few snowdrops at Imbolc to summon the goddess Brigid. 

Blessed Be!
