I have always thought of magic as the language that we use to speak to the universe. Many Witches use words of power, chanting, and sigils to communicate their intention in their spellwork. That is practical magic, intended to use language to work their will.

Snowshoe #Hares can be common here, though I think we've been in a low point in their population cycle the last couple of years. Even when abundant they are elusive, so it's always a treat to see one + get pictures/video.
This one popped out when I was in a willow thicket photographing catkins. Special visitor sent by #GreatMother for #MayDay ? pics + YouTube link, #Spectra to follow

#Tarot underneath/shadow card of evening: The High Priestess-II.

Go to your quiet place, calm the mind, just listen, watch for the signs from the #CosmicJoker (or your deity of choice, Spirit, etc.). Trust your inner voice, intuition, your gifts. Don't ignore them.

#Tarot card of evening: Six of Cups.

Look at yourself to see how you've grown, progress made, missteps, failures, then make note of what you have learned and how you can put those lessons to good use now.

Thank Freya, it's Friday! Time for a #FridayPaganPoll!
Historically, pagans are well known for their idolatry, and I'm wondering if that's still the case.

Do you have any representations of your deity (or ancestors, or spirits) that you pray to (or do magick with)?

Ok, I have started off all the remaining squash and courgette seeds that I have. I’ve sent off my prayers to the gods for help, if anyone else is able to as well then I’d appreciate it.

#Tarot underneath/shadow card of evening: King of Pentacles.

Ground yourself and do your work for your highest good. Make sure everyone in your inner circle is provided for. Build and maintain your reserves.

#Tarot card of evening: Three of Cups.

Be willing to come to the table in good faith, and expect the same from others. Set differences aside and find common ground, come together to manifest what everyone needs.

A grammar lesson for Pagans:

-"Pagan" is a proper noun, and should therefore always be capitalized when used as a noun.
-A noun can be described as "pagan," (i.e. a pagan festival, a pagan priestess) which makes it an adjective, so it doesn't need to be capitalized.

If you don't know when to capitalize, then just replace the word "pagan" with "christian" and your autocorrect will suddenly know exactly what to do with it.

(FYI: Pagans don't actually care if you capitalize it or not, but we *do* like to annoy the puritans )

#Pagan

As the Church elects its new pope, consider this: that in the church of nature, all flourishes and reaches for the sun without instruction.

Hail the Old Gods!

This is the most important Pagan blog that I've written—the product of about 30 hours of research and a couple headaches from reading legalese.

I went through every public court case I could find regarding Pagan religious rights and summarized my findings. This review provides the pieces of the tapestry of precedents and laws that make up our current religious freedom in the US.

#Tarot underneath/shadow card of evening: Nine of Wands.

You may be tired, and some may try to test or restrain you. But you refuse to allow it. You still have inner strength and momentum. Let them carry you to success.

Have some #Pagan thoughts.
6/x

And helping the old gods, to gently arrive in our century, take off their dusty clothes and help them find new garments, new languages and new ways to transport their wisdom and message...how can that be something to be looked down to?

Religion has for far too long in too many countries and civilizations, been a thing of only old men in power dictating what to do, to think and still this is how many religions hold their powers.
But should that be our future?
