Day 3...
Did you know?
Did you know that Gerald Gardner's first published book wasn't about Wicca or witchcraft at all? His first book was actually about knives, specifically the wavy Kris blade of the Malasian peoples. The title was "Kris and Other Malay Weapons". It was several years later before he began to delve into more metaphysical subjects.

Day 5...
Make a Pendulum You don't need a fancy piece of jewelry to use for a pendulum. Find a piece of chain, ribbon, string or yarn around 9 inches long. You'll also need something for the weight or bob at the end. You can use pretty much anything you like: a crystal or stone, an acorn, a pendant, or any small solid object that you can fasten to the end of your cord. Try to tie it evenly, so the knot isn't off to one side and that it hangs as straight as possible. Once completed, burn some incense (choose your favourite scent) and dangle the pendulum in it to purify and consecrate it. Now it's ready for use. Tomorrow, I'll explain how to use your pendulum for divination.

Day 6...
Using Your Pendulum Pendulums are very personal divination tools, and they don't work the same way for everyone. You need to take the time to try yours out and learn how it reads. Hold the chain or cord and let the weight hang freely. Wait for it to settle and be still, then think of a question that you can quickly verify or one you already know the answer too. Concentrate, and the pendulum should start to move. Take note of how it moves (clockwise, sideways, whatever) and that is the movement for the answer to your question. You'll need to give it several trial runs in order to get the feel of the answers. Once you think you've gotten the hang of your pendulum. Make a prediction about something you know is going to happen soon and see how accurate you are.

Day 9...
There Once was a Witch from .....
There once was a witch from Gibraltar Who couldn't set up her altar First it faced west but that wasn't the best And from there she continued to falter
by Pythia
And the moral of this tale: Don't let yourself get caught up in having everything perfect. I think the Goddess delights in a little ad-libbing now and then, and She certainly doesn't expect perfection.
Blessed Be...

Day 10...
Stichomancy Today
Stichomancy is a rather obscure form of divination that uses random words from a book. It's also called bibliomancy. We tried some pendulum divination last week, so let's give this a test.
Pick a sizable book from your bookshelf (Pagan or otherwise) and close your eyes. Think about something you will be facing today and concentrate on it for a moment. Keeping your eyes closed, open the book and flip to a random page. Place your finger on it and see what word you've chosen. If you've struck a spot that is just white space or you got a useless word like "the", try it again. Keep this word in your mind during the day and see how (or if) it applies to the situation you were thinking about.
Blessed Be... SpiritWitch...

Day 12...
Eileithyia
Eileithyia is the Greek Goddess of childbirth, though you rarely hear her name. Though little-known, she is the daughter of Hera and Zeus, and therefore a sister to Ares. In myth, Eileithyia was involved in the birth of Hercules, as well as the twins Artemis and Apollo. Her Roman counterpart was Lucina.

Day 13
Tarot - The Moon
The Moon is the 18th card of the Major Arcana, and is associated with water and Pisces. It symbolizes dreams, creativity, illusions, imagination, psychic abilities and your unconscious thoughts.
Use this today: If you have a Tarot deck, shuffle through it and find the Moon card. Set it on your altar or someplace prominent. Think lunar thoughts. From now on, whenever you work with dreams or need some creative inspiration, place the Moon card on your altar.
Blessed Be...

You might be a Red-Neck Pagan
If you call the Quarters by invoking "Billy, Joe, Jim and Bob".... If your favorite robe has the logo of a manufacturer of major farm equipment on the back....
If you call the Gods by hollerin' "Hey y'all, watch me!"....
If you've ever harvested ritual herbs with a weed wacker....
If you've ever blessed chewing tobacco ....
You might be a red-neck Pagan!
Blessed Be...
