Winter Magick Day 2

 

Oh the pine tree we bring into our homes at this winter holiday! A beautiful lady in her green skirt, bedecked in jewels! Truly an image of the winter goddess.

The scent, the color, the mysterious way it fills us with positive, loving energies. And for good reason. The magick of pine is very potent, purifying and protective,  it draws prosperity and positive energy into the home. The scent soothes and warms, and also enhances divination work. The mighty pine represents longevity, immortality, strength and resilience. Medicinally, pine is a traditional remedy for coughs and colds, infections and inflammation.

Blessings dark and deep

Winter Magick Day 1

 

Welcome December, let the Winter magick begin!

Holly - we bring holly in to our homes as decoration for the winter holidays, but it is also useful in other ways. As an herb of protection, it keeps the home safe; the veil is still thin and spirits roam. Hang some by doors and windows to ward off any type of intruder or harmful energies. According to Ellen Everet Hopman in A Druid’s Herbal, Holly was used in a tea for colds, bronchitis, fevers, and even gout. Do your research before trying that. Its prickly prettiness is a beautiful and magical addition to the season.

Blessings dark and deep.
