Crossing into Darkness~A Spell for Deepening Nights
Seasonal change always offers us a chance to work with that energy of change magically. In many northern pagan and witch cultures, this was an important time. The transition into the dark months is a large shift. Over the years, I have developed several magical practices, rituals, and spells to adjust to and celebrate this gate into the dark.
If you like my content and want to go deeper, I’m running a special this month. If you sign up during October for either the Obsidian Roots $5 tier or the Cauldron Keepers $10 tier, you will receive the benefits of the tier higher than the one you signed up for during the first two months of your membership.
And that’s in addition to the regular benefits and weekly posts I do for all levels. This month’s workshop will be a live Samhain Celebration together.
Weekly witchy articles, monthly spells, moon and seasonal magic, and more. If you are interested, here is the link: bit.ly/3U8GKj6.
If you live in the PNW I'm starting Zoom interviews for my in-person 2025 Magic Self & Spirit Program, March through December. One of the perks of the school, in addition to learning a solid base in witchcraft, is moon rituals and a Samhain ritual.
Here's the link to the program on my website.

      I also wanted to say, instead of sacrificing animals such as dogs, an animal friendly alternative is to donate to animal rescues, perhaps ones that specialize in aiding dogs, or black dogs in particular , in her name as a way to honor her. Hope that this helps anyone who reads this!

    Yes , Hekate has always been associated with magic . Hekate had chthonic attributes from the earliest times ( as in the myth of the abduction of Persephone ) , linking her to the dead and the practice of necromancy . The spirits of the dead and the underworld were always integral to ancient Greek magic , practices that would eventually become seen as witchcraft and sorcery .

    I live on a 4 way crossroads. Our houses are small and close together and I am the 4th one along so I am very close to the crossroads. I have some trepidation about doing crossroads magic in case I make a mistake, it might be too close for comfort. On the other hand my house number is 111 which feels right and protective. Any thoughts?

    • @witchways
      @witchways 9 днів тому

      That totally makes sense. This is just my personal thoughts. For me as a witch I very often stand at the crossroads. And it is always an opportunity to make sure I magically keep steering towards the path that is my path in this life. But their is definately a history of more intensity around crossroads. Such as the medieval habit of burying criminals and suicides there. However I believe the idea of crossroads as a liminal place betwixt and between where the supernatural could be more easily contacted was probably the more longstanding belief. Great question. And yes 111 is magically great!
