Pagan Art

The topic of Pagan Art is something that we are going to touch on, but very lightly. I imagine that there are artists among those of you who look at this blog, and I am one as well. For me, art isn't just the expression of self, it is the expression of the soul and how the world is seen by an individual. So when I mean Pagan Art, what I'm saying is exactly those two words but how people see the Pagan world for themselves.

For those who are artists, maybe think about the different ways Pagan means. Think of the Gods and the Goddesses, think of their symbols, the seasons, the different myths and stories there are, and try to create a picture that depicts any of those. Let it be in your own style or your own way, but make sure that it represents how you view the Pagan world. Take pictures, paint, draw, sketch, sing, anything! Because the world is yours.

For those of you who are not artists, why not look up some Pagan art. It could be Faeries, Vampires, Werewolves, the Gods and Goddesses, it could be anything associated with the Earth or the darkness that many people believe to be occult. Immerse yourself in it, listen to Pagan music!

All I'm trying to say is that there are very beautiful things that are in the Pagan world, many things that are judged before understood, hated before loved, and scared of because of its difference. Please, before you decide to judge and say that this is all the work of a being made of pure evil, look at what we all represent.

We represent nature, love, life, and good. Yes, there will be people that associate themselves with darkness, but that does not mean everyone is exactly like that.

I particularly love looking at Pagan artwork and listening to Pagan songs, because it feels natural and pure. Look for yourselves, and maybe not by the words of others but by the words and feelings of your heart.

Blessed be.

Simple Beauty Spell

~*~

Just saw this and I thought that some one might want to try it. It sounds like it works really well (here's the website!!! http://justwicca.com/spell-for-beauty/ ). The one thing that I wound't do is blow out the candle, because if you blow out a candle then you push away the magic. Instead snuff it out when you get to that part (unless the whole point to blowing out the candle is to push away the negative affects of your skin).

This is a really simple, but fun and effective spell for beauty. All people like to have soft and beautiful skin. This simple spell gives you beautiful and soft skin. This spell is so simple- all you need is sugar, water, and a white candle!

Sugar is not only a staple in every Wiccan's pantry but also a great item for love spells, friendship spells, wish spells, and beauty spells. This time we are using sugar as a gentle exfoliate to heal and soften our skin naturally.

Sugar is the best way to naturally exfoliate the skin, because it doesn’t sting and unlike salt – it doesn’t tear at the skin. This spell for beauty is simple, effective, fun and more importantly it works fast. You can get clear, blemish free skin within a matter of minutes. It is good to use on those stressful days, after an intense workout, before a date, or when you want that extreme feeling of being fresh and clean.

Light a white candle, and chant three times.

“New Moon – New Me as pretty as can be - All who see shall awe at me – As I will it so mote it be”.

With the candle still lit, place 3 tbsp of water with 2 tbsp of sugar – if you have it – place on petal from a rose and mix well.

With your eyes closed, place the mask in circular clockwise motions on you face and neck. Let sit for 1 min while meditating on your beautiful, clear skin, rinse the mask off your face, and place a warm-hot rag on you face for another minute. Pat your face dry and blow out the candle – Be amazed at the results!

Remember you can do this as often as you like, with to with out the enchantment. And be on your way to great looking skin.
