Third Quarter Lesson 3 (9) by Wiccid 1 Wiccid Academy of Witchcraft & Magic Third Quarter Lesson 3 (9) By Wiccid ©Wiccid 0422 958 100 www.wiccid.com.au 2 Wiccid Academy of Witchcraft & Magic Lesson 9 Greetings Apprentice! Welcome to Lesson 9, the final lesson of the third quarter. This month we learn about Elemental Magic, the herb Rosemary, the crystal Howlite, the Cauldron, the Native American Pantheon, the planet Mercury and the Moon phase of Libra – how can you utilise this energy for your magic? We also connect with the throat chakra and make our second potion – a potion for healing. Your practical activity for this month is making a hanging chakra crystal, your mediation is designed to help you find peace and your ritual for this month will help you draw success to you. There are also all the regular bonus magical bits + a new ritual kit to help you along on your journey. There is a lot to cover this month so just a reminder that this is self-paced and self-monitored learning, meaning I won’t be marking your work - how much or how little you participate and integrate these teachings into your life will be entirely up to you. I am simply here to provide you with the tools you need to bring magic into your everyday life. Have a beautiful month, Love, Light and Blessings to you, Bella x How to get the most out of your lessons: When you receive your lesson each month, I recommend you print and then skim through all the material to give you insight into what you will be doing for the month. Then gather the materials you will need and create a sacred study space for yourself that is quiet and private. I like to cleanse my space with a smudge stick or incense to clear any negative energies before I start. It is up to you how you choose to study, some of you might like to tackle it all in one big hit and some might like to do a bit each day. There will be some tasks that will be required to be done daily but may only take a few minutes such as your morning ritual. Once you read through your material you will better understand how you will work through it.

A time to plant seeds – in the ground and in your own life. Traditionally known as Witches Easter, eggs are painted to represent fertility, hope and life. At this time the light and darkness is of equal length and from now the days will begin to grow longer then the nights. A History of Ostara It is widely thought that Ostara is linked to Goddess Eostre – Goddess of Spring. The first known account of this is in works by a Northumbrian monk named Bede : “during Eosturmonap (April), the pagans celebrated Eostre with feasts before the Christian holiday Easter came into existence”. The truth of the link with Eostre has been debated but either way, there is no doubt about her links to Spring and as this is the Spring Equinox it is fitting that she be honoured or called in to assist your rituals. There is evidence to suggest that this was one of the Sabbats celebrated by the ancient Irish people. There are megalithic cairns dotted throughout Ireland that were first thought to have been built by the Druids but have been dated to show they are even older then the Druids. A group of these cairns to be found in Loughcrew contains a tomb that has a backstone with astronomical symbols on it that fully light up when the sun’s rays hit them on the Spring Equinox. The meaning of the symbols is not clear but they have obvious significance and tell a story of some importance. Dating back to 550BC a dynasty of Kings known as the Achaemenians celebrated Ostara with a festival called No Ruz, meaning ‘New day’. It is a celebration of renewal and hope and is still celebrated in some parts of Persia today. In ancient Greek and Roman traditions they would celebrate the Goddess Ceres – the Goddess of Grain – from Ostara until the first harvest. It was believed she would go from field to field of newly sown crops and bless them at the Equinox. In Salem on Mystery Hill stands ‘America’s Stonehenge”. At 4000 years old it is thought to have been created by either European migrants or Native Americans and contains 5 standing stones with one that points to sunrise and sunset at both equinoxes. When the sun sets over the pyramid known as El Castillo in Mexico on the Spring Equinox, it creates the illusion of a giant snake descending the pyramid stairs and is called the “Return of the Sun Serpent”. The Equinox has been celebrated with this phenomenon by the Mayans for over 1000 years. In the twelfth century Angkor Wat in Cambodia was built as a temple for Hindu. At sunrise on the Spring Equinox, the sun climbs the central tower until it reaches the top of the temple spire where it rests just brielfly. ©Wiccid 0422 958 100 www.wiccid.com.au 5 There are many other sites around the world where the sun marks the equinox/s so it is evident that people from many cultures dating back thousands of years have observed the cycles and marked them accordingly – whether with monuments to track when they would occur (like calendars), ritual, harvests or celebrations. Some Olde Traditions: In medieval societies in Europe the March Hare was honoured as a symbol of fertility. This creature was nocturnal until March when the mating season would begin. At this time bunnies could be seen all through the day shagging to their little hearts content. In Babylonia a Spring festival called Akitu was held to acknowledge the escape from imprisonment of God Marduk and his marriage to Earth Goddess Ishtar soon after. As heaven and earth were united with this marriage a representation of this union was arranged on earth. The King would play the role of marrying the highest ranked priestess of Esagila (temple devoted to Marduk) after which they would sit on their thrones & recite poetry for the assembled people. It is said that sexual relations and feasting was pretty much obligatory at Ostara with foods such as honey, cakes and eggs served up (all symbols of fertility). In Russia the people would lay red eggs on graves as a symbol of resurrection To the ancient pagan Greeks and Romans, lilies were a symbol of life and were placed on altars and adorned temples. Young men would also dress up and play the role of a lusty young God, presenting their love interests with a lily. Accepting one was like accepting an engagement ring. The story of Goddess & God In her maiden form the Goddess teaches the young God about his increasing power as new life bursts forth from the earth.

  • Native American POLYTHEISM - (Animism, Pantheism) Native American Tribes Have Maintained Numerous Mythologies Regarding Deities Throughout Their Histories
    Native American POLYTHEISM - (animism, pantheism) Native American tribes have maintained numerous mythologies regarding deities throughout their histories. Native American belief systems include many sacred narratives . Such spiritual stories are deeply based in Nature and are rich with the symbolism of seasons, weather, plants, animals, earth, water, sky & fire. Deities play a large part in these narratives. Before the 'White Man' came trampling all over the land, the native tribes and nations of what would one day become America had all the space in their world. They made good use of it, living close to nature in what might seem to modern society like a glorious camping vacation. If you ignore the constant threat of starvation and war. Living so close to nature, you could see into the souls of animals — such as the BEAVER and BADGER — as they went about their business. You could feel WAUKHEON the Thunder Bird fixing the weather, and revel in the rascality of RAVEN , MANABOZHO and COYOTE with their tantalizing tricks. The Native American peoples had (and still have) a huge respect for nature. Animal spirits in particular were very powerful and it was necessary to thank them and placate them if you wanted to make a meal of them. When corn arrived courtesy of the deities, it was also given its due measure of respect. The thought of organic free-range food sounds alluring, but hunting wasn't as easy as getting up in the morning, taking a stroll and shooting a few passing bison with your bow. Even Plains societies who lived off the prolific buffalo fell under the threat of starvation at times.

  • Examining Precontact Inuit Gender Complexity and Its
    EXAMINING PRECONTACT INUIT GENDER COMPLEXITY AND ITS DISCURSIVE POTENTIAL FOR LGBTQ2S+ AND DECOLONIZATION MOVEMENTS by Meghan Walley B.A. McGill University, 2014 A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2018 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador 0 ABSTRACT Anthropological literature and oral testimony assert that Inuit gender did not traditionally fit within a binary framework. Men’s and women’s social roles were not wholly determined by their bodies, there were mediatory roles between masculine and feminine identities, and role-swapping was—and continues to be—widespread. However, archaeologists have largely neglected Inuit gender diversity as an area of research. This thesis has two primary objectives: 1) to explore the potential impacts of presenting queer narratives of the Inuit past through a series of interviews that were conducted with Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer/Questioning and Two-Spirit (LGBTQ2S+) Inuit and 2) to consider ways in which archaeological materials articulate with and convey a multiplicity of gender expressions specific to pre-contact Inuit identity. This work encourages archaeologists to look beyond categories that have been constructed and naturalized within white settler spheres, and to replace them with ontologically appropriate histories that incorporate a range of Inuit voices. I ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, qujannamiik/nakummek to all of the Inuit who participated in interviews, spoke to me about my work, and provided me with vital feedback. My research would be nothing without your input. I also wish to thank Safe Alliance for helping me identify interview participants, particularly Denise Cole, one of its founding members, who has provided me with invaluable insights, and who does remarkable work that will continue to motivate and inform my own.

  • Traditional Inuit Stories by Noel K. Mcdermott a Thesis
    Unikkaaqtuat: Traditional Inuit Stories By Noel K. McDermott A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada April, 2015 Copyright © Noel McDermott, 2015 Abstract Commentary on Inuit language, culture and traditions, has a long history, stretching at least as far back as 1576 when Martin Frobisher encountered Inuit on the southern shores of Baffin Island. The overwhelming majority of this vast collection of observations has been made by non-Inuit, many of whom spent limited time getting acquainted with the customs and history of their objects of study. It is not surprising, therefore, that the lack of Inuit voice in all this literature, raises serious questions about the credibility of the descriptions and the validity of the information. The Unikkaaqtuat: Traditional Inuit Stories project is presented in complete opposition to this trend and endeavours to foreground the stories, opinions and beliefs of Inuit, as told by them. The unikkaaqtuat were recorded and translated by professional Inuit translators over a five day period before an audience of Inuit students at Nunavut Arctic College, Iqaluit, Nunavut in October 2001. Eight Inuit elders from five different Nunavut communities told stories, discussed possible meanings and offered reflections on a broad range of Inuit customs and beliefs. What emerges, therefore, is not only a collection of stories, but also, a substantial body of knowledge about Inuit by Inuit, without the intervention of other voices. Editorial commentary is intentionally confined to correction of spellings and redundant repetitions.
