Download or read book The Way of the Seabhean written by AMANTHA. MURPHY and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-31 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The seabhean (pronounced 'sha-van') is the Irish female shaman, healer and seer, the woman who walks between the worlds." What if we didn't have to look to other traditions for our spiritual practice? What if we could connect to the roots of our own ancestors' rituals? Amantha Murphy was schooled in the ancient and hidden lore of wise women and healers, rooted in the Irish landscape and guarded over the years by her female forebears. In The Way of the Seabhean, she brings to life shamanic practices from the Irish tradition, combining story, ritual, energy teaching and the insights gathered from her own shamanic journeying. At its core lies the pre-Celtic understanding of the Tree of Life and the Wheel of the Year, containing the seasonal turning points such as Samhain and Imbolc, their attendant festivals and the role and powers of long-suppressed Irish goddesses. Along with the better-known goddesses, Medb, Brigid, Áine and the Cailleach, we also meet a pantheon that includes Tailtiú, Boann, Macha, Tlachtga. These goddesses are archetypes, aspects of ourselves, which can help us to understand and embrace our many facets. Amantha's shamanic teaching in Ireland, the US and Canada has already opened the Way of the Seabhean to an eager audience.

Download or read book The Goddess Wheel written by Karin E. Weiss, Ph.d. and published by Xlibris Us. This book was released on 2003-11 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE GODDESS WHEEL: A Meditation Guide on Woman's Sacred Cycles and Sexual Mysteries By Karin E. Weiss, Ph.D. Although this book is full of colorful pictures, the written text is its main feature. The paintings in this picture book are rendered in a distinctly dilettante style, and the subject matter intrigueingly portrayed. The text is well written and thought-provoking. Weiss writes in a mix of fantasy, philosophy, and poetic prose to express profound wisdom in plain words. Her ideas are deceptively simple, for every sentence reveals deeper meanings about women's experiences of life, love, and longing. In the introduction, she writes: "Feminine spirituality is about becoming Whole. It is about containing, connecting, uniting, and bonding. It is about affirming and celebrating all living things. It is about harmonizing and balancing the masculine and feminine principles in all our lives. The Mother-god's most important lesson is that Divinity exists in everything; that all life is sacred and erotic. . . . The feminine spiritual message is perpetually revealed by the turning of the seasons, and, above all, we see our own experience of transitions and changes mimed by the moon's monthly orbit. Like the "faces" of the moon, women's own cycles, moods, and roles pantomime the ever-changing Essence of female sexual and spiritual power." The book derives from the author's extensive life-travels as a sex therapist, astrologer, gardener and breeder of pedigreed cats. Her love of animals shows through the paintings. Her empathy for human foibles and her sympathy for Nature's caprice lends a sometimes shocking humor, combined with honest revelation, to her concept of Woman's erotic spirit. Weiss offers a broad view of sexual-spiritual merging that encompasses shadow and light, serious and playful, foolish and wise. She is less sympathetic to the prevailing male-dominated culture, however, and a strong feminist bias shows through all of her work. Here are the names of the eight Archetypes and their corresponding masks or faces or roles, as Weiss has defined and arranged them: Mother Archetype: Mother Earth, Divine Mother, Grandmother. (New Moon) Maiden Archetype: Good Girl, Naughty Girl, Orphan. (Waxing Crescent Moon) Wild-woman Archetype: Dame Nature, Maenad-Madwoman, Whore. (First Half Moon) Muse Archetype: Clown, Star, Siren. (Gibbous Moon) Lover Archetype: Beauty Queen, Sweetheart, Vamp. (Full Moon.) Companion Archetype: Handmaiden, Mate-Wife, Sister-Friend. (Disseminating Moon.) Warrior Archetype: Heroine, Huntress, Rebel. (Second Half Moon.) Wise Woman Archetype: Mystic, Priestess, Witch-Shaman. (Balsamic Moon.) This book is a gold mine of affirmation, self-knowledge, compassion, and pure chutzpah for women and teenage girls today. Read it and learn to like yourself better-- even those parts of you that you have denied and tried to hide. Following are a few selected passages: "Earth remains ever the prototypical Female, recreated in the fertility cycles and bodies of all women. The bond we inherit through our physical bodies to the earth connects us to all her creatures forever. Deep in our bones, we remember our sacred earthy origins. (Mother Archetype, first face: Mother Earth, p. 16) "The Maiden is core to all others, for she embodies the soul's dream. In her world, the magic of make-believe prevails. The freedom to explore our fantasies as children, gives us self-confidence to pursue our dreams as women. ( Maiden Archetype, p. 22) "The Wild-woman is the animal part of us who roars, howls, snarls, screeches, with untamed primitive passion. She is the keeper of an inner bestiary, the choreographer of a psychic circus of ba

Download or read book Wicca Wheel of the Year Magic written by Lisa Chamberlain and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything You Need to Know About the Wiccan Wheel of the Year The ancients lived by a fundamental truth that is often lost in our fast-paced world-that time is circular as much as it is linear. Following the Wheel of the Year by honoring the eight Sabbats, or days of power as they're often called, helps us integrate this concept of circular time into our daily lives. The Wheel provides a sense of rhythm to the year, as the equal increments of days and weeks between the Sabbats allow us to feel the seasons turning in a beautiful symmetry. The Sabbats also provide a context for honoring the dynamic relationship between the Goddess and the God. As the seasons turn, the divine pair shifts from mother and child to co-creative consorts and then back again. We honor these shifting roles and aspects throughout the year, with each Sabbat representing a point in the overarching story. This close participation with the cycles of the season is what some Wiccans refer to as "turning the Wheel." Perhaps because it's such a big topic all on its own, many introductory sources on Wicca tend to gloss over the Wheel, providing just a paragraph or two on each holiday. In Wheel of the Year Magic, best-selling author Lisa Chamberlain devotes a full chapter to each of the Sabbats: their significance within the context of the ever-changing seasons, the part they play in the mythological cycle of the Goddess and the God, and the spiritual themes they ask us to reflect upon as we celebrate them. So whether you're just starting out in Wicca or you're a seasoned practitioner looking for new perspectives, this guide can support and inspire your journey. And while the information here is rooted in Wicca, much of it is applicable to Pagans of all stripes, as well as anyone who is simply curious about the rich traditions surrounding these milestones of the Old Religion. For those who include spellwork in their practice, the energies surrounding the Sabbats make them excellent opportunities to work magic. In fact, many Wiccans and other Witches like to incorporate spellwork and/or spellcraft into their Sabbat celebrations. As with all of Lisa's books, the spells and other workings included in this guide can be followed as-is or adapted to suit your individual style. They can also be a springboard for more ideas about how to approach magical work on these special occasions. Foundations in Celebrating the Days of Power A dynamic, creative and evolving approach to connecting with divine Nature is at the heart of Wicca and other forms of modern Paganism. Wheel of the Year Magic was written in this spirit, offering insight and information that will help you to build your own unique relationship with these eight days of power. Whatever your experience level, you can build on your knowledge with the information in this guide, including: - The origins and development of the modern Wheel of the Year - The seasonal and spiritual significance of each of the eight days of power: Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas, Mabon and Samhain - The pagan history behind each Sabbat-the myths, beliefs and customs that have inspired our modern celebrations - Suggestions for creating your own Sabbat celebrations, whether you're a solitary practitioner or working with fellow Witches - Spells and other magical workings aligned with the seasonal and divine energies of each Sabbat When you choose to mark the Sabbats, you are participating in a timeless tradition of honoring the endless cycles of Nature and the divine workings of the Universe. As you grow in your practice from year to year, Wheel of the Year Magic will continue to be a trusted source of knowledge and inspiration. Enjoy the journey!

Download or read book The Witch s Qabalah written by Ellen Cannon Reed and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because the classic writings on the Qabala have been expressed primarily in the terminology of the Western Mystery Tradition or in terms of the ceremonial magician, its usefulness as a tool for the Craft has been overlooked. With this book, Ellen Cannon Reed -- a High Priestess of the Isian tradition -- brings the symbolism of the Qabala into a new light so pagans can see its value and use it to enhance the Great Work. Reed explains the Tree of Life -- the primary symbol used to represent the universal energies as "revealed" by the Qabala -- and how its spheres and paths correspond to elements in the pagan tradition. Teachers can use the Qabala to understand the growth of students and their problems, using the Vices and Virtues to recognize stages of growth. Reed also provides exercises, meditations, and encouragement to students who are studying without a teacher. She discusses the Qabala as it appears in everyday life, which spheres of the Tree of Life to use for specific workings, and details two rituals using the Tree: a Dedication to the Journey, and the Rite of mending Love. Reed's command of the material allows teachers and students alike to gain powerful insight into their own search for spirituality. First published in 1983 as Witches Qabala Book 1: The Goddess and the Tree, this revised and updated edition is enhanced with Reed's thirteen additional years of experience.
