Today I decided to embrace the Taurus Moon before it moved into Gemini tonight and created 3 new pocket rosaries & rosary bracelets! Taurus itself falls underneath House 2: House of Money, Wealth & Worth. This can look like physical, emotional & relationship based value & substance! Whether this means material, immaterial, physical, emotional or spiritual — this sign and house is all about value! 💞 The value of money, love & self; all just as important as the other. This is why I picked these saint medals to work underneath this powerful sign! 🙏🏻✨ My first collection of pocket rosaries, chapelets & rosary bracelets will be available VERY soon! Which saint are you looking forward to seeing in the shop? 🤩 • #saints #saintwork #folkcatholicism #rosary #rosarybeads #pocketrosary #rosarybracelets #onedecaderosary #stjoesph #holyfamily #stanthony #beadmagic #taurus #taurusseason #taurusmoon #newmoon #moonmagic #astrology #astrologyhouses

I'd wanted to make an account here just for the spiritual side of my life, as it's a part I don't share with everyone, and finally got around to it. So, hi. I'm Erica. I've spent most of my life wandering spiritually, and only recently felt a pull to connect to the land, spirits, medicine and traditions from where I grew up(and still live), and begun learning more about my ancestors, the cultural and spiritual history of SW Pennsylvania and the greater Appalachian region, folk practices, medicine and power in this place. Not everything I do is tied to folk medicine/magic, but it's where I've been focused and where I hope to continue learning and growing, alongside others who are practicing their own crafts in a network of growth and support. I hope you'll join me here!  Hodgepodge of images is just to put something here, and give some idea of who I am as a person. Artwork, including the rosary, painted skull and my profile image are made by me! #appalachianmagic #appalachianhistory #magic #conjure #saints #saintexpedite #stexpedite #folkwitch #witch #folkcatholicism

I’m in the middle of moving and most of my art supplies are currently packed away, but I managed to make some little Santa Muerte and Guadalupe pendants this afternoon.

Her love is holy. 🩷 When I first felt called to Mother Mary, it was a real inner struggle for me. It was hard for my mind to grasp, how someone who considered themselves a pagan and who practices witchcraft, could have a relationship with the Holy Mother. Would she hear my prayers outside of the Church? Would I need to give up my witchcraft practice? Will this relationship change me? Here is my experience. Yes. She hears and answers my prayers. No, I do not belong to a church. Now I do go to church from time to time. I typically like to go to light candles & pray the rosary at her feet. And I prefer to go before or after mass. 🕯️ No. I did not have to give up any of my witchcraft practice & matter of fact, Mother Mary is so soo woven into my craft. Now a lot of things have evolved within my practice, sure. But it’s all been beneficial to my craft.✨ Yes. This relationship changed me, for the better! I now set boundaries. I say NO when I want to. I have healed deep childhood traumas (and continue to do so). I have learned to love myself, accept my body & know my self worth. I am a better version of myself. 🙏 #folkcatholic #folkcatholicism #catholicwitch #catholicwitchcraft #marianwitch #appalachianwitch #folkwitch

❤️ A Divine Love ❤️ . . The thing the saints have taught me, is to at our spiritual paths are a divine love story, and it’s a love story that leads deep into who we are, and who we are is love. The Mystics have always pointed to the mystical marriage, the union of God and man, but what gets missed In that is that the Divine spouse of not an outward reality, but rests at the center of our very being. We are called to fall in love with the beloved by whatever name we know them, whether in be Christ, Krishna etc. so that we can discover them already inside of us. . . #magicalsaints #magicalcatholicism #folkcatholic #folkcatholicism #catholicwitch #strega #brujeria #brujo #witchesofinstagram #witch #saints #spiritual #spirituality

Stregheria e Santità Utilizzando il termine "Stregheria" si intende la pratica magica rurale sviluppatosi con la diffusione del Cattolicesimo (o Pietà) Popolare, avente origine dal Paganesimo Medievale della Stregoneria. Se dall'anno 1000 al 1300 troviamo Operatori Magici apertamente "pagani" che si rivolgevano alle Fate, dal 1400 taluni da streghe e stregoni divennero noti come Guaritori Popolari venendo pure santificati per le loro capacità. Nella Pietà Popolare troviamo una lunga storia del rapporto tra le donne e la medicina. Testimonianze raccontano di sapienti levatrici e mediche, guaritrici medievali che popolano la documentazione medica antica le cui azioni erano spesso associate alla pratica di Stregoneria. A salvare dalla loro condanna alcune di queste che mettevano in atto terapie tra medicina e superstizione fu tuttavia la loro conclamata Santità. Nei processi di canonizzazione di Francesca Romana, testimoni riferiscono dettagli che permettono di scoprire i rimedi più utilizzati dalla Santa: succhi di ruta, panni unti di olio, pietre calde e impasti. Alcune, come Caterina da Racconigi, usavano rimedi più particolari; tra i suoi ingredienti usuali c'erano occhi e lingue di rospo, veniva chiamata "Masca di Dio" per la capacità di volare (in spirito) e predire in questo modo la morte delle persone. Altre, che invece non vennero santificate, trovarono riparo dalle accuse di illecito esercizio della professione medica nella comunità ecclesiastica, potendo continuare in questo modo la loro opera di assistere e curare gli ammalati. Come per le donne anche gli uomini condivisero il medesimo destino, ad esempio insegnati e gli stessi esponenti della Chiesa, ma questa loro tradizione magica è sopravvissuta attraverso la fede del Cattolicesimo Popolare. #laviadellostrigo #masconepellegrino #tradizionipopolari #folktraditions #magiatradizionale #traditionalmagic #magiapopolare #folkmagic #stregoneriatradizionale #traditionalwitchcraft #stregoneriapopolare #folkwitchcraft #cattolicopopolare #folkcatholic #cattolicesimopopolare #folkcatholicism

Went for a long walk in the woods, admiring the wild geranium and Jack in the pulpit. I pulled several hundred mayapples from the trail and sat on a log to watch some chipmunks playing. It's gotten to the point that when I identify a native plant, it's less like going through a catalog in my head and more like running into an old friend. I've worked really hard the past 3 years on identifying wildflowers, herbs, and trees - they're members of my community! After having moved around so frequently for 16 years, this is also how I put down my roots right beside the plants' roots. 🌳🌿 This Green Christ Shrine is in my Etsy shop, available through my website which is linked in my bio 🌳🌿 #JesusChrist #jesus #christ #crucifix #crucifixion #shrine #forest #woods #MixedMediaArt #FolkCatholic #FolkCatholicism #CatholicFolkMagic #CatholicArt

Wow, last night I dreamed that I attended a Papal visit at St Patrick's Cathedral and a Cardinal told me I shouldn't be there since I'm a "fringe Catholic with one foot out the door." Papa Frankie took out a violin & played it sadly until he shut up. When everyone processed outside and down 5th Ave, a group of trans activists was handing out informational pamphlets, I brought them into the procession and we chanted "we are The Transfiguration!" What a night! It had been a very long time since my last Church dream, they used to involve me going to hide in a small chapel but then one night I dreamed that a mother with a baby and a very thick Minnesota accent told me to come out and help the people. Since then, my Church dreams usually involve joining fellow rejects in holy celebration. In 3 months I'm going to a LGBTQIA conference for that very purpose! 🪻🌹 This Mother Mary figurine, miniature high altar, and copper ornament are available on my website, link in bio. 🪻🌹 #FolkCatholic #FolkCatholicism #HighAltar #altar #AltarSpace #shrine #MotherMary #VirginMary #BlessedVirginMary #rosary #mary #OurLady #LGBTCatholics #CatholicArt

Tea magic is something I practice frequently, especially for healing purposes. Dealing with more than one chronic illness, tea has definitely become one of those things I go to for many ailments, from headaches to digestive issues. On top of the herbal properties of the tea, I also charge my teas on my altar & call on Mother Mary (recently, specifically under her title of Our Lady of Lourdes, Health of The Sick). And I will bless the tea in her name, asking for her blessing, under that title. I will pray a few of her prayers over the tea & whisper them directly into the tea. It’s something that is lower energy and doesn’t take much time (which is important on flareup days). But in my experience, packs a powerful punch! ☕️ Rosary is by the talented @sacredwombcreations #folkcatholic #folkcatholicism #catholicwitch #catholicwitchcraft #marianwitch #appalachianwitch #folkwitch #teamagic

L'espoir, la confiance et la sérénité sont de retour dans mon cœur, la nature prend une respiration profonde et le soleil projette ses rayons chaleureux sur tous les êtres vivants. Nous traversons le point médian entre l'équinoxe de printemps et le solstice d'été. Beltaine est là et nous célébrons la nature fertile que le Verbe pense en tout temps et aime profondément ; «et Dieu vit que cela était bon». C'est la saison de la croissance, de la fertilité et de l'union où la nature est luxuriante, les fleurs en éclosion et le bétail en gestation. Je ressens mon propre rythme interne se synchroniser avec le rythme lent et cyclique de la roue de l'année.

Happy Beltane!! 🌸🌷🌺🌹🌼 Having accomplished the Spring Festival, even though I don't have any specific plans for today I feel like I have thoroughly celebrated Beltane. The tulips in my garden are bare as of today, the radishes and pansies are taking over - and since I planted these radishes specifically to pickle for hot pot experiments at home, I'm very excited! The first batch are in cherry-peach-elderflower brine which seems even more appropriate for spring 🌸🌷🌺🌹🌼 This Pink Mother Mary hanging quilt is available in my website, link in bio 🌸🌷🌺🌹🌼 #Beltane #QueenOfTheMay #MayQueen #MotherMary #VirginMary #BlessedVirginMary #mary #TextileArt #MixedMediaArt #spring #MayDay #FolkCatholic #FolkCatholicism #pink #OurLadyOfGuadalupe #NossaSenhoraDeGuadalupe #LaVirgenDeGuadalupe #guadalupe #OurLady #AveMaria

Notte di Valpurga Il tempo magico del Calendimaggio iniziava le sue celebrazioni quando giungeva la sera del 30 Aprile. Affermatosi il Cristianesimo, quelli che partecipavano a questa festa del fuoco e della fertilità cominciarono a venire accusati di Stregoneria e di recarsi a festeggiamenti con il Diavolo. Il ruolo di contrastare streghe, spiriti e demoni fu affidato a una Santa dell'VIII secolo che si diceva avesse tale potere oltre a quello di guarigione, un baluardo del bene, Santa Valpurga - la notte che precede il primo Maggio venne chiamato "Notte di Valpurga". Probabilmente la Santa fu un modo anche di cristianizzare la Dea onorata in questi giorni. Ad esempio Flora, Bona Dea, Maia, per i celti era Belisama, per i popoli germanici Freya o Frigga, in epoca medievale Frau Holle, la "Signora col fuso". A suffragio di questa assimilazione, in ambito germanico la credenza locale vede Valpurga nelle nove notti precedenti il primo Maggio volare portando in mano un fuso a seguito di spiriti di cavalli - in un corteo che ricorda proprio quello della Caccia Selvaggia, il cui arco temporale finisce proprio ora. Mentre le Streghe e la Santa erano a cavallo di scope, capri e fusi, immaginate a danzare attorno alle fiamme, gruppi di giovani giravano per borghi e cascine a "cantare il Maggio" e corteggiare ragazze, poi giunta la notte i contadini accendevano i falò purificativi sui quali si saltava con tale intento. #laviadellostrigo #masconepellegrino #tradizionipopolari #folktraditions #magiatradizionale #traditionalmagic #magiapopolare #folkmagic #stregoneriatradizionale #traditionalwitchcraft #stregoneriapopolare #folkwitchcraft #cattolicopopolare #folkcatholic #cattolicesimopopolare #folkcatholicism

Fàilte, a Mhoire mhàthair Dhè. As folk practitioners we work with both saints and devils. Today, we honour the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Mother. These candles have been dressed with my Queen of Peace oil in a devotional setting and frankincense has been lit as well so she may hear our prayers. To her I cry, I sing, I pray, and recite charms. #mary #blessedvirginmary #holymother #avemaria #hailmary #catholic #folkmagic #magic #folkcatholicism #scottishfolkmagic #gàidhlig #gaelic #scottishgaelic #scotsgaelic

According to Lebor Gebála Érenn (The Book of the Taking of Ireland aka The Book of Invasions), the first Bealtaine fire ever lit in Ireland was kindled atop Cnoc Uisneach by the Druid, Mide. Marked by Ail na Mirean (Stone of Divisions), this hill was once considered the center-point of Ireland. It is said that goddess Ériu, the island’s namesake, is buried beneath this great stone. 
Bealtaine marks the transition from winter to summer. It is one of four Irish fire festivals (alongside Samhain, Imbolc, and Lúnasa). Folklore tells us that Druids throughout various parts of Ireland lit two magnificent bonfires side-by-side while reciting incantations. Cattle and other livestock were then driven between them as an act of purification, cleansing, and protection. Fire is certainly a part of modern celebrations, with similar practices taking place today. 
Fertility is also a major theme. In order to break the power of infertile winter over the land, couples would leave the bonfire celebrations in favor of making magic of their own in the woods(intercourse). It was particularly important that these interactions took place on the land itself, so as to wake it from its slumber, thus making the soil fertile and ready to produce a bountiful harvest. 
Similarly, the Sun is celebrated at this time, when it wakes the land and loosens Winter’s icy grip. Watching the sun rise is a simple tradition for celebrating Bealtaine. Some folks keep an all night vigil, waiting to greet the morning sun, while others choose to wake at sunrise and welcome the lighter part of the year. Maypoles are a commonly known tradition as well. However, they are not an Irish tradition, but in fact English. And while we’re at it, “Beltane” is an Anglicized term. If you are seeking to connect specifically with Irish traditions you may want to skip the pole and pronounce all of the syllables (Byahl-tinneh). **caption continued in comments**

My main plans for the near future are to hike with my dog, forage, garden, and do nothing. There are 2 local art shows in June I'll participate in but if I'm not ready by then, I'm not stressing about it. Time to relax! 🌷🌼 This Longhorn Guadalupe is available in my Etsy shop, which you can find through my website - Link in bio.

San Giorgio In questo giorno un cavaliere, Giorgio, detto "il Verde", in quanto versione cristianizzata dell’Uomo Verde, salva la Fanciulla della Primavera dalla Vecchia dell'Inverno con l'aspetto di un drago: dall'unione dei giovani amanti si genereranno i raccolti, come nel Calendimaggio. San Giorgio cade il 23 Aprile secondo il Rito Romano e il 24 secondo quello Ambrosiano, per questo delle volte troviamo discrepanze di date a livello locale: qualunque sia la tradizione seguita, la notte che precede il suo giornoè un tempo nel quale accadono eventi misteriosi, si possono compiere riti e fare predizioni. Il tema della battaglia contro il Drago rappresenta la Vecchia ha molte declinazioni, ma la sua origine è probabilmente la cosiddetta "sottomissione del serpente", presentando il Santo come sintesi di antichi Dèi, fra i quali lo slavo Jarilo ed il babilonese Marduk. Secondo la leggenda cristiana invece Giorgio era un militare martirizzato del III secolo, il cui culto si diffuse in Occidente dopo le crociate, quando pure nacque la sua connessione con il drago: la storia racconta che lo uccise per salvare la principessa libica Silene in cambio della conversione del suo popolo, andando a rappresentare la vittoria del Cristianesimo sul Paganesimo. Questa lotta tra il Santo Verde e il Drago è avvertibile a livello meteorologico: dal suo giorno fino a quello di Bona Dea il 3 Maggio (ora Santa Croce) c'è tradizionalmente un periodo piovoso e freddo da sembrare che sia tornato l’inverno – pertanto viene chiamato "Invernetto". #laviadellostrigo #masconepellegrino #tradizionipopolari #folktraditions #magiatradizionale #traditionalmagic #magiapopolare #folkmagic #stregoneriatradizionale #traditionalwitchcraft #stregoneriapopolare #folkwitchcraft #cattolicopopolare #folkcatholic #cattolicesimopopolare #folkcatholicism

Saint Magic Crucial to folk magic in the Western World, the practice of petitioning saints for aid is a well-known focal point. From nine-day-novenas to altar spaces bursting with arcane and necromantic power to full, semi-sleeping arcanas taught and distributed through culture, visionary experience and rote, the magical world of saintly sorcery is one that yields up its boons to those who would approach it diligently. In this course, descriptions of what make saint magic special are given as well as explanation of the root nuts and bolts of the sorcerous technology that builds it. From hero-cults to miracle martyrs to the phenomenon of modern folk saints, it’s covered here in the same practical, results-oriented method students have become accustomed to from Practical Occult classes. In this course one will learn: The Mechanics of Saint Magic The Necromancy of Saint Magic The Hero-Cult Aspect of Saint Magic Example Practices for half a dozen named saints How Folk Saints Are Made and How To Make Them And more #Saints #folkcatholicism #folkmagic #saints #christianmagic #Necromancy #ghosts #necromancer #SpiritWork #Spirits #Conjure #FolkMagic #MagicClass #RootWork #Sorcery #PracticalConjure #PracticalOccult #UpYourMagicGame #LiteralSorcery

A very thorough, well-written book that has made me realize just how much Christianity is not really my path anymore. Catholic/Christian!God, The Holy Spirit, The Bible (for the most part), all that no longer resonates with me. Only Jesus, the angels, the saints. That's it. The tarot -did- confirm that my path would be my own form of Catholicism. So... "You're on your own, kid." Can't help but think that.

✨Mi oración de unción matutina a Santa Bárbara ✨ Esta es una oración de unción que rezo por la mañana cuando me unjo con aceite para protegerme. Cuando la unción haciendo la señal de la cruz comienza en la parte superior de la cabeza, la frente, la garganta, la parte de atrás del cuello, el corazón, ambas muñecas y finalmente la parte inferior de los pies. Que el Sagrado Manto de la Santísima Madre me cubra y proteja. Amén. Santa Bárbara mi Amada protectora, camina conmigo mientras voy hoy, Despeña tu relámpago y derriba a aquellos que buscan hacerme daño, mental, física y espiritualmente. Aquellos que buscan hacerme daño o mal intenciones quitenlos de mi camino, confundanlos y destruyen a los que buscan destruirme. Oh amada Virgen y Mártir, que yo ande en el camino de la paz, que nadie se interponga contra mi buen camino. Santa Lucy Virgen y Mártir me protegen de la mirada malévola y del mal de ojo.

I’ve been using this way of fixing florida water for over a year. I originally developed it to feed a St Lazarus charm purchased from a vodouissant in Montréal. This water can be used like regular Florida water, to cleanse and clean, but it can also be used in uncrossing rituals and to open roads. For these latter uses I like to draw crosses on the back of my neck, or to sprinkle crosses of the water at each fork of a crossroads while praying to Saint Lazarus to open my roads towards a specific goal. You can also put it in a dish and set it on fire — with safety in mind, of course! This specific bottle was prepared on the feast of St Lazarus, but it can be done at any time. It was made in preparation for our community uncrossing ritual coming up in January. This ritual is available only to Patreon members of the Haw-Thorn tier, who benefit from a monthly community ritual performed on their behalf. Write out and pray Psalm 94. Anoint it with Mercury’s Open Roads oil, and put it in your bottle of Florida water. Add lemongrass and frankincense tears, as well as a few drops of holy water — I am using St Petka holy water here, but anything works. Add also a few drops of open roads oil. This done, shake vigorously and pray an Our Father, three Hail Marys, and Psalm 23 over the bottle. Let it sit for at least three days before using. Sprinkle in a space to cleanse it, or use it to wash candles, tools, and other items in need of cleansing. Wash your hands with it before and after malefic work. Anoint the neck along with Décroisé uncrossing oil for uncrossing purposes. Sprinkle at crossroads as offerings to the spirits. Burn in a shallow dish to clear illness from a space and to speed up healing. You can find the oils listed here, and the link to join the Haw-Thorn tier using the link in my bio.

The lovely folks (and amazing friends of mine) over at The Frightful Howls You May Hear and I sat down earlier this month to discuss French-Canadian folklore motifs and stories for today’s Christmas special! It was such a pleasure to talk a bit about the folklore of my ancestral region and revisit folktales I grew up with — along with some mentions of good ol’ folk magic, of course! I hope you’ll join us for giggles over farting devils and flying canoes while learning a little something about this oft-overlooked region. These are the stories of my people and ancestors, and maybe you’ll learn a little about myself as well! A huge thank you to the amazing @dragoncunning and B. Key, not only for the opportunity to talk about a subject I am passionate about, but also for their heart-warming hospitality and friendship over the years. You can listen to The Frightful Howls You May Hear anywhere you get your podcasts, and the Spotify link is in my bio! Cheers — and Merry Christmas, Mahigan #folkmagic #sorcellerie #frenchcanadian #folkcatholicism #folkwitchesofinstagram #folkwitchcraft #tradcraft #traditionalwitch #witchesofinstagram

Thank you Saint Expedite for your miraculous intercession on my behalf! Saint Expedite’s aid can be invoked in quite a few areas: money, business, expediency, law, domination, and matters of the home. Expedite is arguably most often called on for money, especially in cases where said money needs to arrive quickly. Practitioners will often petition Saint Expedite to grant them the money necessary to pay unexpected hospital bills, to afford legal dispute, or for any other reason. Unlike some Saints, Expedite does not expect the particular brand of Christian righteousness that alienates so many occult practitioners. He will answer any petition, granted payment is provided. Read about Saint Expedite on the Kitchen Toad blog! Cheers, Mahigan #sanexpedito #saintexpedite #folkcatholicism #folkcatholic #folkmagic #folkwitchery #folkwitchesofinstagram

To celebrate my beloved Saint’s feast, all Saint Expedite materia will be restocked tomorrow, including Oil of Saint Expedite, Exepedite’s Fast Cash oil, Dust of the Quickened Foot, Expedite fixed candles (now in 9 day format!), and Expedite Rosaries. I’ll also be debuting some nasty goods with which to call on Expedite’s dual-headed nature. Cheers, Mahigan #sanexpedito #conjureoils #folkcatholicism #folkwitch #folkmagick #folkwitchery #expedite

✨Mi oración de unción matutina a Santa Bárbara ✨ Esta es una oración de unción que rezo por la mañana cuando me unjo con aceite para protegerme. Cuando la unción haciendo la señal de la cruz comienza en la parte superior de la cabeza, la frente, la garganta, la parte de atrás del cuello, el corazón, ambas muñecas y finalmente la parte inferior de los pies. Que el Sagrado Manto de la Santísima Madre me cubra y proteja. Amén. Santa Bárbara mi Amada protectora, camina conmigo mientras voy hoy, Despeña tu relámpago y derriba a aquellos que buscan hacerme daño, mental, física y espiritualmente. Aquellos que buscan hacerme daño o mal intenciones quitenlos de mi camino, confundanlos y destruyen a los que buscan destruirme. Oh amada Virgen y Mártir, que yo ande en el camino de la paz, que nadie se interponga contra mi buen camino. Santa Lucy Virgen y Mártir me protegen de la mirada malévola y del mal de ojo.

💙 Black Madonna, Black Remembrance 💙 . . The Black Madonna has become a topic of great interests in folk Catholic circles, Goddess circles, and Magical circles. In many ways I feel that these circles tend to focus the Black Madonna in the white experience, and a tendency to categorize her particularly as an earth goddess, bypassing that she is the symbol of remembrance of the African Mothers, the Black mothers who have birthed humanity. There can be no real conversation about the black Madonna that doesn’t put POC and especially the African mothers the birthers of humanity at its center. When we remove this aspect of her we continue the colonization mindset that seeks to disconnect humanity from its roots, its magic and its origins, further driving us apart. The Black Madonna is our collective remembrance of from which we came. . .

I call forth the Power and presence of Saint Expedite. I offer my body, heart, mind and soul upon your altar of light. I have faith, trust and complete confidence that you will be my strength in this time of need. Quickly come to my assistance.

I ❤️ you, St. Expedite! #stexpeditesfeastday 2022 with actual #palmleaves The larger statue was one of my promises as payment from 2020. If I could find a bigger one I'd get it. Palm leaves signify a martyr with Catholic Saints. 🌴 leaves can also symbolize victory. #sanexpedito #saintexpedite #stexpedite #folkcatholicism

April 19th is St Expedite's feast day. But did you know you can honor him every month on the 19th? 🌹 Did you know you can summon him with the snap of your fingers?🌹 He could quite possibly be the most effective unofficial saint of urban legend ever to have been discovered. For a variety of reasons, the Roman Catholic Church will not officially recognize St. Expedite; but, at the same time, they won't discount him either. That's because he's just too damned popular. And, according to his devotees, he's just that damned good. But that's okay, New Orleans Voudou has no problem embracing St. Expedite as one of her patron saints. And hoodoos, rootworkers, conjure doctors, spiritualists and sorcerers appreciate his worth, as well. No officialities are needed in these camps. Because when a saint works as well-and more importantly, as quickly-as St. Expedite works, he is more than welcome in the wide world of conjure. 🌹 St. Expedite is the go-to saint for fast solutions to problems of all kinds. His quick response makes him extremely popular among those who strive to put an end to procrastination and delays and to those who seek financial success. He is petitioned for prompt solutions to business problems and has been coined the Patron Saint of Nerds due to his association with computer programmers and hackers. St. Expedite is also known as one of the lawyers of impossible causes, and as such, is petitioned for court cases and legal issues, as well. 🌹 Read my book, The Conjurer's Guide to St. Expedite to learn more. Take the comprehensive course to learn more. In fact, just go check out crossroadsuniversity.com and check out all the goodness that awaits the curious and the committed.🪄 #crossroadsuniversity #stexpedite #saintexpedite #conjurecourse #catholicconjure #folkcatholicism #hoodoo #neworleansvoodoo

This upcoming weekend will be the welcoming ceremony as I "officially" become an associate of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. For years I've loved the post-Vatican II history of Catholic sisters at last governing themselves* and expanding both their world & their role in the world. BVM associates came out of that movement and continue to grow. * This was by no means the first time sisters accomplished this, only the most recent wave 🧿✨ These Mother Mary figurine and small hanging quilt are available on my website, link in bio. 🧿✨ #MotherMary #BlessedVirginMary #VirginMary #mary #maria #Nazar #EvilEye #MalDeOjo #FolkCatholic #FolkCatholicism #altar #HomeAltar #AltarSpace

Trying out a new home protection work I pieced together from here & there. I don't do protection rituals daily. Having daily prayer routine along with the occasional warding / protection ritual every few months works well. Of course, I'll do different works for protection from intentional harm thrown my way (curse, malefic work, evil eye), to storm protection, etc. I'll also usually do a somewhat simple house cleansing beforehand too. It all usually involves a blend of Catholicism/ saint work & working with local land beings #folkcatholicism # #folkcatholic #catholicwitchcraft # #catholicwitch #tradwitchcraft

Homo Selvaticus Dalla seconda metà di Aprile troviamo la figura dell’Uomo Selvatico (spesso associato all'Uomo Verde), che con la sua comparsa chiude definitivamente il ciclo invernale aprendo così quello della primavera per entrare nel periodo della celebrazione della vita e la sua crescita. Una figura archetipa presente in molte aree europee, a tratti semidivino, diffuso in tutto l'arco alpino italiano con diversi nomi. Nella visione popolare è il propiziatore della primavera per eccellenza, le credenze dicono che vive nei boschi e alcune che possedeva doti magiche. Aveva cominciato a insegnare la caseificazione agli uomini ma si era fermato prima del segreto finale – che consisteva nel come ricavare dal latte lo zucchero o olio, a seconda delle tradizioni. In particolare si ricorda come l'Uomo Selvatico avesse per prima cosa insegnato a filtrare il latte usando il licopodio, e detta per questo uso "erba colina". Alcune località ancora oggi il giorno di San Marco, il 25 Aprile, proprio con il licopodio vengono completamente rivestite le maschere dell'Uomo Selvatico in modo da rendere i portatori irriconoscibili, poi impugnano una frasca di betulla ricca di foglie e brandendola scendono dal bosco verso il paese, preceduti da musica. Lungo il percorso battono la base della frasca sul terreno per richiamare l'erba. Giunti nella piazza cominciano a ballare fra loro, invitando le ragazze a danzare – e danzare con l'Uomo Selvatico è ambito in quanto benedice donando fertilità e abbondanza. #laviadellostrigo #masconepellegrino #tradizionipopolari #folktraditions #magiatradizionale #traditionalmagic #magiapopolare #folkmagic #stregoneriatradizionale #traditionalwitchcraft #stregoneriapopolare #folkwitchcraft #cattolicopopolare #folkcatholic #cattolicesimopopolare #folkcatholicism

[Rituel & prières] Ce matin, j'ai consacré mon temps à un rituel païen que j'aime faire pour un proche malade. Je suis reconnaissante qu'il soit bien suivi par des médecins et je souhaite le soutenir à ma façon avec des prières et des rituels. Le romarin que j'utilise a pour propriétés, entre autre, la protection, la purification et la guérison. Exemples de prières chrétiennes pour accompagner un malade : «Seigneur Jésus, notre Sauveur, celui que tu aimes est malade et je prie avec lui et pour lui.» «Je suis ici aux côtés de celui qui souffre. et je souhaite seulement que mon amour, Seigneur, puisse rendre sa maladie et son angoisse moins pénibles.» «Seigneur, médecin de nos vies, celui que tu aimes est malade ; Montre-toi comme celui qui console et qui guérit !» Amen. . . . . #witchcommunity #witchaesthetic #witchlife #witchvibes #witch #witchesofinstagram #witchy #witcher #witchritual #ritualmagic #magic #christianwitch #catholicwitch #witchcraft #christopagan #christopaganwitch #omnistwitch #folkcatholicism #folkcatholic #folkmagic #slowliving #slowlife #slowlifestyle
