Happy Jupiterday dear hearts. Here's just a little reminder that tomorrow evening I will be talking more publicly and more in-depth than I ever have for any presentation or event before on the grimoire that has formed a core of my magical practice for quite some years, to offer a Friday night keynote for @salemwitchfest 's Spring Agora. I'm excited to get stuck into the texts, sources, protocols, pact-work, tools, techniques, conjurations, and spellcrafts of this True Grimoire, as well as offering some of the most careful, practical, and frank advice I can muster on starting to work it and continuing to develop one's practice with these so-called devilish spirits. I do hope you can join me for this tour of my favourite manual of spirit conjuration and "black magic". More info and +iĉk€t$ available at my 🌲 o' 🔗s and the Salem Witchcraft & Folklore Festival site. . . . #grimoriumverum #gv #goetia #nigromancy #folknecromancy #demonology #grimoire #swff #salemwitchfest #cunningcraft
Less than a week left until this year's online Salem Witch Fest! What sets apart the witch from the fairy-doctor, the folk magician, or the grimoire magician in Greek tradition and folklore? What are the core traits and practices of a Greek witch? Let us expand the network of currents that is Traditional Witchcraft in the West with the addition and exploration of Greek witchcraft and its manifold wonders! #greekwitch #salemwitchfest #witchcraft

In Greek mythology, Apollo slew the female serpent Python at Delphi, later referred to as a male drakon, and later femake again as the serpent Delphyne, asserting dominance over the oracle. By defeating Python, a guardian of Delphi, Apollo claimed control of the sacred site and its prophetic powers, gifted from the deep cave, the womb of the Earth. This act severed the ancient connection between the oracle and the serpent goddess, relinquishing the serpent's influence over prophecy and establishing Apollo as the new master of oracles. A myth of when the words of the wise woman, who were once sacred, pouring from her immortal mouth, turned her into a hysteric, needing men to interpret her message, and eventually silencing her forever. Come see me dive more into the mythos of the Serpent Goddess of Prophacy, and many others like it @salemwitchfest March 22nd at 4pm. This is an Online event from March 22nd-24th.The Festival hosts over 30 presentations on Folk Magic, Witchcraft, Folklore, Herbalism, and much more.

English / Español en los comentarios: Júlia will be presenting “Introduction to Pyrenean Witchcraft: Going with the Bruxes for 600 Years” as a part of the @salemwitchfest Spring Agora. 2024 marks the 600th anniversary of the first civil law against witchcraft in Europe. That law was written in the enigmatic location of the Pyrenees, a mountain range which is still today filled with legends and folklore related to the primordial witch. This lecture will explore the Basics of Pyrenean witchcraft through the seminal concepts of the bruxa (the ‘witch’), the Land, and the Sabbat. Remember that the Salem Witch Fest is an Online event from March 22nd-24th. The Festival hosts over 30 presentations on Folk Magic, Witchcraft, Folklore, Herbalism, and much more. You can sign up for individual classes, day passes, or for the entire festival. All of the classes are live streamed and recorded so you can watch and rewatch them whenever you like.

In Hermetic philosophy, the language of the birds is said to be the original language that humans and animals used to communicate with each other before the Fall. . Also called the Green Language, it is full of wordplay, puns, and complex layers of secret meaning. Alchemy in particular is famous for this aspect of the language of the birds, and also involves literal birds in its imagery, representing different parts of the process. .

A little preview of my lecture for @salemwitchfest "Fangs to Femininity " Friday March 22nd It still amazes me how much modern witchcraft uses Canva 🫠 Join me as I revisit the mythos that created the foundation for the Goddess and Drakaina we see today. Let's remove the male gaze, the mistranslation, the manipulation, the political propaganda.... And look at these two ancient deities with a fresh set of eyes. It is my hope you walk away with a head full of knowledge, more questions than you came with, the ability to change the way you look at stories, and a desire to challenge your own myths you have taken as fact. See you there 🐍 #salemwitchfest #WitchesofInstagram #witch #drakaina #dragon #motherofdragons #eve #tiamet #Medusa #hekate #wadjet #echidna #eurynome #goddessworship #loveyourmother

I am incredibly honored & delighted to announce my presentation for the upcoming @salemwitchfest event: “In the Mounds & Of the Stars: the Elves in Scandinavian Lore, Practice & Myth”. You can find tix for the event at the url above. I hope to see you there! 🧝🏻♀️✨ “When the average person hears the word “elves”, they often think of tiny helpers in Santa’s workshop or those that live in trees, making cookies. A more accurate portrait is that of a beautiful, luminous, god-like being with immense supernatural power. Spoken of alongside the Gods in the ancient myths, the Álfar(elves) have associations with burial mounds, the stars, fertility, and witchcraft. This presentation will explore who, and what, exactly the Elves are; where their skills and interests lie; how the myths give us clues as to what is expected of humans when it comes to their interactions with the Álfar; and how they are viewed, approached, & avoided in various parts of Scandinavia & Iceland - including via the lens of the Norse folk magic & sorcery of Trolldom.” #elves#álfar #alfar #elf #trolldom #scandinavianfolklore #folklore #fairies #faeries #fairyfaith #faeryfaith #traditionalwitchcraft #witchcraft #folkmagic #cunningfolk #heathenry #asatru #salemwitchfest
Hello everybody. I know I have been incredibly slow with content lately. The holiday season has been going pretty well, but it's been extremely busy. A huge thank you to anyone who has booked with me - your support is appreciated! ❤️🔥 . I have some major changes, both personal and professional, going on in 2024. Thus, Realm of Spirit will be going through changes as well. With my book Stones in the Glade being released with @crossedcrowbooks as well as other major developments, it's requiring a lot of planning on my part. These things need more attention for the time being 📖 . I wil really only be doing readings and taking a break from teaching - my availability will be a little more limited than usual. I also will not be accepting any new subscriptions. If you have one with me, we will finish it out to the end unless you decide to end it early. 🪬 . Thank you all so much for helping to make Realm of Spirit what it's become. I've flourished since 2016 and will continue to do so due to amazing followers and clients like you! 🎆 #witch #witchcraft #necromancy #sorcery #death #spirits #medium #magick #magic #blackmagic #psychic #traditionalwitchcraft #tradcraft #oldone #newengland #samhain #underworld #cthonic #psychicfair #salemwitchfest #2024

Most of our clientele engage in witchery all year-round and now (in the northern hemisphere) we turn our attention to the dark. We make offerings to the Dead, we prepare for the coming cold, we welcome and celebrate the shadows, we plant Saturnian seeds, we watch stars dance amidst bare branches... and, this year, we invite our local friends and followers to come celebrate the season with us at the Darkest Night Market in Peabody, MA. #darkestnightmarket #witchery #itsnotoveryet #mills58 #darkart #witchcraft #witchlife #metaphysicalshop #timeforthedead #ShopSmall #alchemyworks #alchemyworksmaterialsofmagic #salemwitchfest
