Lucky Rabbit's foot- Rabbits and hares were considered very lucky animals as they were associated with spring and the return of flowers and other plants. Spring was also a time of fertility and so rabbits were considered good luck to be seen running through the fields. To see a rabbit running through your yard meant that it would be a good year to have children or that your garden would be especially fertile this year. The manner in which rabbits run gave birth to the superstition about rabbit's feet. Apparently their unusual stride makes the back feet touch the ground ahead of their front feet and so the back feet were considered especially lucky. Lucky Penny-Lots of superstitions center around money. Almost all forms of currency have at least one superstition associated with them. The most common superstition heard today, with respect to the penny, is the rhyming verse: "Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have good luck." Wishbones have become a common tradition at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter dinners. The general rule is that the wishbone is saved from the turkey or chicken dinner and dried overnight. The next day, two people snap it while making a wish. Each person uses their pinky finger to pull on an end. After the bone has broken, the one with the larger bit is granted their wish. Fu - Blessing, Good Fortune, Good Luck Fu is one of the most popular Chinese characters used in Chinese New Year. It is often posted upside down on the front door of a house or an apartment.

Fibonacci Spiral or Golden Spiral Christ Grid Phi pendant Nautilus Shell article Sacred Geometry Jewelry By the Artist - David Weitzman and Ka gold jewelry The symbols embodied in David's jewels reveal the truth about our identity and the true nature of reality. Behind these sacred symbols is the knowledge that enables us to take complete control over our lives. So that we can rid ourselves of chaos, fear and hatred which affect so many of us. The Golden Rectangle, the black outline of this spiral is what forms a Golden Rectangle. From the following picture you can make several Sacred Geometry Symbols: Basic Circle Octahedron Christ Grid The Flower of Life The Merkaba Sacred Geometry Jewelry By the Artist - David Weitzman The Flower of Life-This shape was not done using the first pattern above. The Fruit of Life Metatron's Cube Tetrahedron Tree of Life Icosahedron The Golden Spiral or Fibonacci Spiral The golden ratio was often used in the design of Greek and Roman architecture. Sacred geometry is geometry that is sacred to the observer or discoverer. This meaning is sometimes described as being the language of the God of the religion of the people who discovered or used it. Sacred geometry can be described as attributing a religious or cultural value to the graphical representation of the mathematical relationships and the design of the man-made objects that symbolize or represent these mathematical relationships. Making your first fibonacci spiral: First get some graph paper, with a pencil draw 2 parallel lines 13 sqaures long. One on top of the other, look at the picture below, the 2 lines are the top and bottom of the rectangle. Next join the two lines' ends to make a rectangle. Ok, next you draw a line at the eighth square to make a square 8 boxes long and eight boxes high. The box you just made is box 8 below. Next in the upper right hand corner draw another square 5 boxes long by 5 boxes high, that will be square number 5 in the picture below. Then you draw another square 3 boxes by 3 boxes where the number 3 box is below. Next you draw a square 2 boxes by 2 boxes like the one below. Next 2 by 2, and next 1 by 1. Then you draw your spiral which will look something like this. Golden spiral Phi pendant Nautilus Shell article ymbols of Magick and Astrology Ancient Symbols of Magic, Astrology, the Horoscope, Zodiac, and Alchemy are based on a common symbolic 'alphabet,' composites created from smaller symbols. Knowing how to recognize these smaller units will allow you to decipher many of the larger symbols whenever you encounter them. Knowing the secret system behind these symbols can provide an incredible amount of insight into even the most inscrutable signs. The following magic symbols are the ones most widely used during the European revival of the "Old Religion," witchcraft or Wicca, in the spells of that era. There have been numerous additions to and subtractions from the list over the years, but for the sake of authenticity, the following symbols are a fair representation. The Sigil, Sigils, Siglia, or Sigla Magic symbols are often referred to as sigils. The word sigil stems from the Latin sigilum meaning seal. Sigils or Siglia or sigla are symbols that have been created for a specific magickal purpose and are used to form a glyph, composed of a variety of symbols or concepts which carry intent and inherent iconic meaning. Through iconography, emblems, symbols, and the symbolism of tattoos, the ankh, glyphs, and the Sigilia common in Jewish mysticism and Kabbalistic magic have been, for the most part, successfully decoded. The Goat of Mendes First associated erroneously with Satanism in the 1960's, the Goat of Mendes, Mendes Pentacle, or Sabbatic Goat symbol was inaccurately attributed to the 19th century occultist, Elipas Levi. The Goat of Mendes symbol is often confused with Levi's depiction of the Templar icon Baphomet, which was never presented as a symbol of evil, but of harmony, redemption, and union with the divine. Nevertheless, the two are confused so often it is almost impossible to separate them. The name Goat of Mendes comes from a connection Levi made between the Templar Baphomet, the Goat of the witch's Sabbat (as depicted in popular art), and the Egyptian god Ammon of Mendes, Egypt, which Levi believed had been an emblem of fertility and sexual freedom. Later, it was determined that Levi's connection was wrong — Ammon was represented by a ram, not a goat — but the confusion remains to this day. In 1966, a simplified version of the Goat of Mendes symbol was adopted as the icon of Anton Lavey's Church of Satan and the emblem is now often referred to a the Judas Goat by modern Satanists. Common Symbols of Magic The following symbols are commonly used in the practice of magic. At the end of the images there are additional links to other pages of symbols.

Rebecca Short 24 September 2012 Professor Greta Austin The Methodology of Resistance in Contemporary NeoPagan Culture The number of adherents of NeoPaganism is one of the fastest growing, doubling in numbers about every eighteen months. 1 NeoPaganism is a set of several religious traditions and spiritualities that seek to either (1) painstakingly reconstruct the indigenous religions of the Christianized world, especially those of Europe, or (2) reinterpret these religions in the contemporary era to formulate new religious traditions. Reconstructionist NeoPagan traditions include Asatru , a Norse Reconstructionist path, and Hellenismos , a Greek Reconstructionist religion. More contemporary, eclectic, new religious movements include Wicca, a tradition of religious witchcraft born out of the ancient Hermetic school of spirituality and magic practice. Wicca is by far the most popular tradition (or, now, set of traditions) in all of NeoPaganism. This religious tradition was started by a man named Gerald Gardner in 1950s England.

Without guidance, this is usually impossible. Therefore, lowe my biggest thanks to Peter and Laura Yorke of Ra Horakhty Temple, who provided my first exposure to self-initiation techniques in the Golden Dawn. Their years of expe­ rience with the Golden Dawn material yielded a structure of carefully selected ex­ ercises, which their students still use today to bring about a gradual transformation. WIthout such well-prescribed use of the Golden Dawn's techniques, it would have been difficult to make progress in its grade system. The basic structure of the course in this book is built on a foundation of the Golden Dawn's elemental grade system as my teachers passed it on. In particular, it develops further their choice to use the color correspondences of the Four Worlds, a piece of the original Golden Dawn system that very few occultists have recognized as an ini­ tiatory tool.
