Sabbat Birthday Superstitions

I thought it might be fun for Imbolc to gather some superstitions for anyone with a birthday on one of the Sabbats. I included dates for both Northern and Southern Hemisphere. These are all from a book called All One Wicca: A Study in the Universal Eclectic Tradition of Wicca by Kaatryn MacMorgan. I’m not necessarily saying that any of this is true or good, I’m just posting it for anyone who is interested. 

Yule (20-22 December or 20-22 June)

A child born on Yule is said to have the power of the Sun God, and the mother is said to be blessed too, of especial sacredness are infants with black hair, who are said to have the powers of the storms, and very pale children born on Yule are said to come from the womb of the Goddess and be great workers of Magick. Some say the gift child is often a changeling, and will die by spring, but bring great prosperity to the family, not my idea of a Blessing.

Imbolc (1-2 February or 1-2 August)

Children born on Imbolc are said to be the “first children of Spring” and will always be one step ahead of everyone else.

Ostara (19-21 March or 19-21 September)

Children born or conceived on Ostara are said to be healthy, strong, imaginative and “green thumbed.”

Beltane (30 April -1 May or 30 October - 1 November)

Children, especially girls, born on Beltane are the “children of the Goddess,” and children conceived on Beltane are said to have “luck and fortune beyond the world." 

Litha (20 - 22 June or 20 - 22 December)

Children born on the Summer Solstice are supposed to be fiery, smart, strong, temperamental and willful, red haired children born on the Solstice are said to be marked by the Sun King, and will receive special blessings.

Lughnasadh/Lammas (1 - 2 August or 1 - 2 February)

Children born on Lughnasa, like children born on Mabon, are said to be like the crop that is brought in.

Mabon (19 - 21 September or 19 - 21 March)

Children born at Mabon are generally compared to the harvest. If it was good, the child is said the "Grow tall and prosper like the grain,” but a poor season usually boded badly for an infant, not because of his/her date of birth but because of the food supply, and the child was said to be lucky to survive past Yule.

Samhain (30 October - 1 November or 30 April - 1 May)

Children born on Samhain are said to be great in power but attracted to “necromancy, graveyards and other ghoulish things,” and children conceived on Samhain were said to be the incarnations of unsettled dead, so sex on Samhain is fairly taboo. 

Vedic astrology notes

Based on my own experiences

• shravana girlies are loved by other women and the type to attract both genders. Their femininity is strongly felt 🎀

• anuradha is strongly associated with spiders , spiders become mostly significant for them when they're conquering their fears and owning their power 🕷

• bharani women make rly good leaders as they seem grounded but also people tend to look up to them. Venus energy is elite ✨️

• tiger yonis (chitra/vishaka) are fierceee badass bitches they can come off as Intimidating but ppl can't help but notice them 🐆

• vishaka women start out as "good girls" from a young age but the more society or people try to control them they bottle it up and then lash out or spiral out of control at one point becoming destructive, these women grow more into themselves later as they find it important to be authentic and true to who they are , thats how they shine🌻

• ashlesha women can bring out the worst in someone like they really know how to push someone's buttons lol

• mrigashira women are very smart and intellectual they tend to follow their logic rather than their heart when it comes to relationships 💭 they also can keep secrets v well

• krittika women tend to have messy love lives with love triangles or cheating but they're also v attractive to the opposite sex

• revati women have 2 sides to them they're either badass from the outside and soft from the inside or they show their softness but internally they're badass and smarter than they led on

• jyestha women have so much sex appeal and they're not afraid to show it. They tend to have issues with other women whether its jealousy or competition but that doesn't take away from their success. Jyesthas end up being on top they make sure they win 🔥

• purva phalguni fr are sex freaks both men and women , but they can also channel all that sexual energy and passion into their creations which makes them very passionate and creative people overall

• shatabhisha women are so smart especially when it comes to getting info and secrets out of people but its mostly not for personal gains but for the highest good 👀

• can we talk about swati women and how they're strongly associated with cosmetics and beautification? 💄

• purva bhadrapada women hate being controlled or restricted especially when it comes to ideologies, concepts or beliefs. They don't like to be put in a box or labeled and would push against those barriers

Let me know if I should make more of these or if anything resonates

BDSM, S*X, AND THE SIGNS: part one.

(18+)🔥

*DO NOT plagiarize my writing and/or repost on any other forms of social media under any circumstances. This is NOT for minors.*

Every single sign has its kinky side. And they all have moments in which they desire to be submissive or dominant, but without a doubt, we can't talk about dominant energy without talking about Saturn first.

Saturn rules (♄): leather, handcuffs, bondage, the adrenal gland, belts, blindfolds, confinement, chains, obedience, padlocks, pinching, saddles, sadism, self-control, and whips.

And when it comes to the body Capricorn (♑︎ ) rules: knees, bones, skin, and skeletal structure. Aquarius rules (♒︎): lower legs.

Saturnian’s are excellent at dominating their partners in bed. Capricorn placements don't mind being dominating in the bedroom since it comes naturally to them; after all, they're used to being in charge during the day, so why would they stop at night? Cap placements (whether it's mars, rising, 10th house placements, Saturn aspects, or personal planets at 10° or 22°) exhibit this powerful energy in such a nurturing and caring manner, believe it or not. Mars-Saturn placements could also really enjoy showing off their dominant side, the sense of a slow-burn could really turn them on or edging their partner, "you won't finish until I say so" energy. ❤️‍🔥 when it comes to BDSM they wouldn’t mind diving into some bondage and discipline at all.

They will only take part if the other person is completely at ease with them doing so. Most of the time, cap placements will have people ask them to show off their authority in bed because they give off BDE haha. "That was nice, wasn't it?" they'll say after bending you over or watching you beg with a steady look and an almost smile on their lips. lmfao all lovely and calm. They can be big on aftercare after more intense sexual encounters. Gotta love that cap-cancer axis. 😝✨💕

And we can't forget to include Aquarius (whether it be mars, rising, 11th house placements, or personal planets at 11°, 22°) in the mix. They don't mind playing games at all, especially when it's mental games, thanks to their detached and rebellious character and that air (intellectual) sign energy. Aqua dominants can usually play on their submissive's anxieties during mind games, forcing them to question themselves and their entire worldview. Submissives can experience powerful feelings such as humiliation, fear, excitement, and arousal due to the aqua placements teasing. Aqua placements may act like no big deal, but it exhilarates them to be in charge because this is their chance to shine.

For instance, Julia Fox stated in an interview that she made a lot of money as a dominatrix and that she was able to reclaim her sexuality in those controlled environments. And the photos of her online depict her wearing tight latex or leather attire, slip dresses, and sky-high heels (haha the saturn dom energy). And surprise surprise, she is an Aquarius sun, Capricorn Mercury, Capricorn Venus, Capricorn Saturn, Capricorn Uranus, and Capricorn Neptune. Saturn took control of her whole chart haha, so when she said being a dominatrix taught her a lot about her sexuality, I'm 100% sure it did.

Uranus-mars placements can also be very kinky to the point where their partners could be shocked, or it's just very unexpected. Like in the middle of sex, they could be like, " Hey, we should try this or use this," haha. But their partners usually get very turned on by the Uranus-mars person's spontaneous energy. It's a sexually appealing and engaging vitality that attracts all kinds of people and attention. Aquarius or Uranus energy in general could be interested in sex toys or gadgets that others might find strange. Uranus (♅) rules: devices, experiments, impulses, photography. Aqua placements or those with Uranus aspects could also be interested or like the idea of fucking their friends lmfao or threesomes.

Taurus individuals could be either submissive or dominant if they please, but regardless, it will be focused on their sensory experiences and have a Venusian touch. Since Libra placements are also venus ruled, both these signs could enjoy pretty lingerie, food play, and whip cream stuff like that. Sex toys that are aesthetically pleasing, the color pink, or just beautiful sex toys in general like collars or gags that have lovely designs and quality. Stuff that looks and feels expensive as fuck. Libra placements (whether it be mars, rising, sun, or other personal planets at 7° or 19°) could also enjoy strip-teasing and flirty seduction like slowly letting their hair down and dressing up & taking pictures of one another as they slowly take pieces of clothing off. Libra placements could also have a kink for being bent over and getting their assed slapped hard (in the rulership book, the buttocks are ruled by Libra). In short, Libra placements do not mind being submissive in bed with the right person because it feels good, a sensation of being taken care of.

But back to Taurus, these placements (whether it be mars, rising, venus, or personal planets at 2°, 14°, or 26°) will focus on their pleasure, even to a fault (I'm not calling them selfish, but when they want to feel good they will make it clear). There is an intense focus on quality and sensory experiences: comfortable bed, soft skin, good-smelling candles, hands-on, oil massages, and silky sheets. Sensation play involves any play that gives a person a sensation. Some common techniques include using ice during play (on the body for short periods, putting it in your mouth, etc), playing with food like whip cream or even feeding your partner, cooling or heating toys that are capable of holding temperature, using a feather, scarf, or toy to create fun sensations for you and your partner. Taurus placements or 2nd house placements could also love talking through sex or being loud or moaning since Taurus rules the throat. When there is roughness in bed, it's usually very pleasurable for the Taurus placement, and they can, for the lack of a better term, take it, haha.

Venus dominant people, in general, love luxury and taste, so why wouldn't they apply that to their sex life?  Being attractive naturally and effortlessly is there thing, like mascara running and hair is disheveled, yet it looks incredibly seductive. They will look so hot before, during, and after. Their skin is silky and dewy, lips full and plump (Venusians have very lovely lips; they can be cherry red or light pink, cute cupid bows, haha like a doll), and strands of their gorgeous hair being astray. Sugary but seductive voices, curvaceous figures.💕. Venusians definitely wouldn’t mind some role-play, especially if they got to look super hot in the outfits hehe.

Venus (♀️) rules: beautiful objects, dancing, women's apparel, aromas, attraction, beds, blushing, candy, costumes, lingerie, lips, elegance, erotica, entertainment, fruit, flowers, hair, jewelry, lace, lewdness, make-up, modeling, matrimony, roses, self-indulgence, toys, velvet, wine, teeth, tongue, suffocation, stubbornness, throat, vocal cords.

When it comes to the body, Taurus (♉︎) rules: throat, jaw, ears, mouth, thyroid gland. And libra (♎︎) rules: hip, kidney, and bladder.

The sexually alluring and intensely passionate nature of harsh venus-mars aspects can be disruptive at times. The energy can be more toned down and less explosive with the gentler aspects. Regardless of whether the element is harsh or soft, there can be a rise in sexual desire accompanied by a more attractive aura. Those with venus-mars placements may benefit from relieving tension through art (venus), physical exercise, or even masturbation (mars).

The mercurials are kinky as fuck. Virgo placements effectively utilize sex to unwind and release all of the tension that has built up over the day. They are tense or have to put on composure in their daily lives; they can release that tension during sex. So, yes, the virgin represents Virgo, but not in an inexperienced or naïve way. Instead, it alludes to the sign's commitment to purity and service. It also indicates that Virgos are competent of taking care of themselves. side note: this is why Virgo women are often referred to as "model wives." For example, Beyonce, Zendaya, and Blake Lively are all Virgo suns who have received a lot of accolades from both their partners and the general public. Public opinion is that by having these ladies by their sides and putting them on a pedestal gave their husbands/partners an advantage in life. I mean, I also do agree. Imagine waking up next to Beyonce? Kissing Zendaya? I would die lmfaoo. 

But the point is do not leave the Virgo placements out of the equation. Obviously, they can be selective, but if they find the right person, they will be highly interested in pleasing them and keeping their partner happy.

Mercury (☿️) rules: adaptability, androgyny, arms, hands, fingers, bisexuality, cleverness, flexibility, hygiene, humor, mischief, and nerves.

And when it comes to the body, Gemini (♊︎) rules: Body's pairs, lungs, arms, shoulders, and hands. Virgo (♍︎) rules: intestines, gall bladder, pancreas and spleen (does this mean that the Virgo placements want someone all up in their guts? possibly).

(I think we all know that mercurials love to be fingered and can be great at fingering people too lmfao, a lot of them can even have a hand fetish or get a lot of compliments on their own hands).

we have to remember that MERCURY IS CURIOUS AND CLEVER!. So in turn, Virgo and Gemini placements (whether it be mercury, mars, venus, or these planets at 6°, 18°, 3°, 15°, 27°) can seek to know everything about a subject, sex included. And then when it's showtime, you can find out there is a lot they know. They will have an open mind and can try anything out if it seems fun.

Virgo placements, in my opinion, can easily enjoy becoming more subservient. After a day of worrying and caring for others, it's good to let someone else be in charge and prioritize their pleasure. Especially because of this earth sign energy, they DO NOT mind getting rough as fuck in bed. It's their chance to make a mess and not worry about it at that moment lmfao. (and also, why did my friend say that Virgo placements with glasses are the freakiest of them all, i screamed). And like I said earlier ^ since Virgo placements don’t want to be the ones in charge during seggs all the time they could also be into Humiliation Play. Like being called dirty names in the privacy of their own bedroom or wearing a plug or bondage wear under your clothes to work or their partner spitting inside their mouth. 😭

On the other hand, Gemini placements exude a flirtatious and playful aura (Virgo and Gemini are great at dirty talk and sexting). Mercury-Mars placements, in a similar manner, can be great at dirty talk and being very specific about what they want done to them or to their partner. They know exactly how to get their partner's attention and get them fired up. But Gemini placements are deeply satisfied when watching people squirm, especially when they realize how easily they can get someone turned on. I swear all the Geminis I know are sexy as fuck. They could be into Sexual Sadism/Masochism. Doesn’t even have to be like in a crazy intense way. Can be as simple as liking to be lightly slapped, hair pulled, face grabbed hard etc. fingers in their mouth. sucking on them.

*In this post I focused on Capricorn, Aquarius, Taurus, Libra, Virgo and Gemini placements. In part two, I’ll do the rest of the signs. 🖤*

Whenever I see someone wearing sunglasses indoors, I immediately assume they have some prominent scorpio in their chart…

My coworker that has a scorpio moon would prepare the stand to open with the lights turned off. They adapted to getting all the tasks done in the dark.

Scorpion babies wanna feel like they’re protected under the darkness of a rock.

TEN THINGS “Witchblr” NEEDS TO FUCKING KNOW ABOUT AFRICAN TRADITIONAL RELIGIONS:

Hoodoo is a closed system that IS NOT for non-Black people.

Hoodoo has deities, but Orisha, Lwa, and Mpungu are not part of Hoodoo. Those deities belong SOLELY to their own respective systems.

A tarot reading, intuitive reading, palm reading, “a feeling”, etc. CAN NOT help you determine which Orisha owns your head. Only an initiated priest of that system, using the specific divination tools of that system, can tell you this. The same goes for Lwa, Mpungu, etc. If you want to know, seek out and PAY a reputable BLACK priest.

Plenty of Hoodoos, myself included, use tarot but tarot IS not part of the Hoodoo system.

The Crossroads is not just some place where you go to dump your empty candle or otherwise dispose of completed spirit work. Spirits live there. Would you want someone dumping their trash at your house without even asking? There’s also plenty of other ways to dispose of works.

Just because deities in different systems are SIMILAR (or you perceive them to be) doesn’t mean they are the SAME, and definitely doesn’t mean they can be engaged with in the same way. Yemoja, La Sirene, and Mami Wata are DIFFERENT spirits (Mami Wata is actually a family of spirits, not a single spirit) that have different protocols for how to engage them. And initiation is required.

Hoodoo has initiations.

The Crossroads Man is NOT Esu or Papa Legba. They are different spirits. What they have in common is being the keepers of Crossroads, of course, but they also have their own individual things that they do and different protocols. See item #6.

High John the Conqueror does not work with non-Black people. If you’re non-Black and think you’re working with him, go ahead and cleanse that trickster spirit out ya house baby 🤣

The “Rule of Three” doesn’t apply in ATRs. You’re just scared a Black person might hex you 🤷🏾‍♀️

Ancient Greek & Roman Knot Magic - Part. 1

Some quotes from "Magic, Witchcraft, and Ghosts in the Greek and Roman Worlds : a sourcebook" by Daniel Ogden

Decided to break down this post into multiple ones because the quotes are too damn long.

Writing these research down on my blog because I'm interested in the mechanism/logic behind these things.

Tongue binding :

"See! An old woman of many years sits among the girls. She will perform the rites of Tacita, "the Silent One", although she scarecely keeps silent herself. With three of her fingers she places three pieces of incense under a threashold, exploiting the secret run a mouse has made for itself. The she binds enchanted threads together with dark lead and turns seven black beans over in her mouth. She roasts on a fire the sewn-up fish head, which she has sealed with pitch and pierced with a bronze needle. She also drips wine over it. She drinks the leftovers of the wine with her companions, but she herself drinks the greater part. As she leaves she proclaims "We have bound the tongues of our enemies and hostile mouths." With that the old woman goes off drunk. Fasti, Ovid
