undines
Topic: undines
i did an undines ritual today to connect with them. i used undines bath salts and an undines candle. and also oil. i drank faery tea and burned mermaid incense. i feel i saw an elemental spirit. it was a black tailed mermaid with long black hair. it was brief but i feel i made a connection of some sort. i believe she was a dark mermaid. which makes sense for me ofcourse.



heres some info on undines from wind sprites realm -

Sea Sprites ~ Water Elementals

The undines work to maintain the astral body of humans and to awaken and stimulate our feeling nature. They assist in unfolding heightened psychic feelings, as well as emotional ones. Theirs is energy of creation, birth, intuition and creative imagination. They assist us in absorbing and assimilating life experiences, so that we can use them to the fullest. They help us to see and feel the fullest ecstasy of all the creative acts of life, be they sexual, artistic, or the performance of a duty with the right emotion.

Undines often make their presence known through our dreams. Dreams of water and sensuality often reflect undine activity and their urging to greater creativity in our life. Working with them can assist us in controlling and directing dream activity, as well as strengthening the astral body for fully conscious, out-of-body experiences.

They are essential to awakening the gifts of empathy, healing, and purification.

herbal ritual oils is something i use constantly now. black rose is my favorite and i use it as a perfume as well. i diffuse it, make sachets and bath salts with them, annoint candles and jewelry with them. my other favorites are green woman, and water element. also dark moon, moon,

bath salts for ritual baths is something i use often. i like to take peaceful baths, and always do before ritual. and do most days that i have time to. my favorite is the morgana le fay bath salts. i also love the water element bath salts and moon goddess. also i have new goddess bast and undines bath salts on the way that i am looking forward to using.

one thing i have been working with lately is spell links. i have bought some different ones from wind sprites realm to use. my favorite and the one i use the most is purple dark enchantment spell ink. they are scented as well- this one is scented with black rose. also i like to use the green woman ink, green, and mermaid's song which is blue. i have done several spells with them so far.

i am also using spell powders now. my favorite is the morgana le fay spell powder, for invoking her, as well as dark enchantments. i also like the water elment spell powder, as its my element and i like to attune with it every now and again. i also use protection powder, that is a very handy one. i put in at our appartment door way.

i also use herbal blends now. i use them for my altar and to surround candles during spells. my favorite being ofcourse the morgana le fay herbal blend.

herbal teas are also a thing i have used for a long time, but i have found some great new ones. my favoite is the temptress tea. its for dark enchantments and also lust, sexuality etc. i also use the god/goddess centering tea a lot as well. and i have love tea, meditation, etc.

all for now...

blessed be!

~cat magick~
i had to do a cat spell. a horrible thing happened her in my area- one of the towns here. a woman didnt want her kitten and threw it out of her moving car under another car. a car behind her stopped and rescued the cat, but she died. its horrible. i called on bastet to do justice for this cat.

i also had another meditation. this time i took a ritual bath. i burned a purple candle annointed with black rose oil. i was going to mediate and meet morgana le fay/ goddess morrigan. to speak with her. i went to my place, the black forest. and when i got there she was so excited to see me and said she had been waiting for me. she had ravens flying around everywhere. then i saw black cats again. she told me bastet too was a dark goddess (which from some things i have read, she is) and that she was there too. we talked for a while. they told me they had chosen me. a lot of times goddesses do choose us, and they both have chosen me. they took me to a black river where they had me bathe. when i came out i felt like i was dying- but i see now i was being reborn and it was like coming out of death. they showed me darkness and told me now i had darkness in me. (not evil darkness- but the beautiful darkness that exists as the light exists.). morgana gave me a raven and told me that she was my familiar in this world (astral plane as it is called) and that my cats were my familiars in life. i spoke with them a while more and they told me i was to choose my ravens name, that it didnt have one. and i am quite sure it was female. the raven was very friendly, letting me pet her all i wanted. and then i hugged them, the cats licked my knees heheheh and then i left.

i think i know what the ravens name should be. morgan. thats perfect! her name is morgan.

~full moon ritual~

i had a wonderful full moon ritual tonight. and i learned a lot. the goddess and i had a long conversation. it was wonderful. one of the amazing experiences of my life. so much happened. she told me so much. and showed me so much. it was so wonderful. amazing! i used my full moon kit from wind sprites realm. i annointed myself with the moon oil. used the moon goddess ointment on my forhead. used the white candle. and before it i had a wonderful bath with the moon goddess bath salts. and i used the sea salt to cleanse the circle. it was wonderful. i have to write down some stuff in my book of shadows. the things she showed me. so i will never forget. usually during ritual i speak to the goddess and the god. more the goddess because i associate with her more, but they are both always there. i have a special place that i go to. normally its an autumn forest. now its become an autumn night forest. the images evolve on their own. its the astral plane i travel to. feelings come over me and things happen that i cant explain. at first i was dancing in the night forest. the goddess and god were there with me. and suddenly the forest was filled with cats running and dancing everywhere. then ravens flew over head and stayed in the trees as we danced. then i held the candle in my hand. and i felt the goddess suddenly next to me in the circle taking my hand, and speaking with me. then we were in the night forest again, just me and her. and the cats appeared again. this time sitting and watching us. i mean a fuckin forest full of cats. mostly black. and i could see all their wonderful eyes shining. i asked about them and she told me they were mine. and that i was a cat goddess. i asked about the ravens and she said they were morrigan's watching over me. she told me she was my mother, the sun god my father. but morrigan and bastet were my guides. and that she ruled my heart and they my mind. and she told me to feel her love and suddenly my heart got really hot inside. it was amazing. i wasnt hot at all on the outside, but on the inside i got a wonderful hot fuzziness. then we spoke more. she told me i was her night child. and the she left and the cats all looked at me and then came to me nuzzling me and i fell to the ground laughing as they all came to me. then ckaldean came into the circle. i had heard him meowing but he left me alone till i was done talking with the goddess and he came into the circle wanting attention. what a sweet heart. then isis came along and i think she could see the circle. she paused right outside it then came in and looked around. and then i took down the circle and blew out the candles and incense. it was a wonderful ritual. i had been doing mini rituals lately but i did a full ritual (full for me- being solitary) and it was great. i am glad i did it. later this week i have to do a mabon ritual. thursday night. i am looking forward to it. :)

tonight i had a full moon ritual. i took a bath like usual with my moon goddess bath salts. then i started my ritual as usual. i am not using a lot of oils and things in my rituals. i have moon oil for my esbat rituals such as this that i annoint my white candles with for the esbats. and i have ritual annointing oil i use in my rituals. i also used moon goddess ointment for attuning with the goddess tonight. i did a ritual meditation to speak with the goddess- astral travel. i had questions i wanted to ask her. of the things she told me, re-affirmations for my ideas already - its not who you read or who, its your belief and belief alone that makes you who and what you are. also i asked her thoughts on those like silver ravenwolf- recent discussion issue. she told me she is out for money but she is right/true in her beliefs. so its ok to read her but just remember she is out for money as well.

i also spoke to her about whether i should stay eclectic or have a more of a focuse. she said is fine to stay as i am, but my focus IS already celtic. so that is my primary. but i do have other influnces, which is fine. and to look into other thinsg- as i am looking into celtic reconstructionism at the moment. but she said i am a witch and that is what i will stay.

so i came away with quite a few answers to questions i had, but already knew, but didnt know i knew until i spoke with her. i spoke with morrigan briefly last night and she said pretty much the same- but she did remind me that all goddesses are one- as we all know. and that they are all faces. and its not so important WHO i am working with. from that i took that it depends on what i need to learn, who i work with at a given time. so bastet is really my secondary then, and the celtics, and morrigan IS my primary at this point. as i believe i have much to learn in the celtic realms, but not so much with egypt and other places.

so that was tonight. i also tried some goddess centering tea for fun. i love using herbs and things. for me its fun and helps me get into the right mode to work.

all for now...
