- Fox Totem -
Fox medicine is about mental awareness, intuition, ability to overcome obstacles, confidence and dream work. Liminal Animal, moving 'in-between' times and fringes, fox is a fantastic guide to the Faery Realm. Analytical intelligence, power of deduction and the ability to see through deception. Cheerful, enthusiast, a joy to see, childlike innocence, inner savage, gladsome manner, tricky, witty, the wise fool, fox does not not conform to the idea that you must be serious in order to be a great problem solver. My work is a game, a very serious game.

Connect to fox energy and drink this warm tea on a cool autumn day.

Nemasté Mama Juju

Como parece que finalmente - como decidí hace 21 años en una remota isla del Pacífico, donde a pesar de la hospitalidad de la cultura melanésica, siempre seremos extranjeros, de quienes, por cierto, querían independizarse y eso celebraban el día que llegué a Papeete - no saldré de mi triángulo de tierra, Catalunya, pues me gustaría concentrarme en encontrar mi lugar de poder por aquí.

En mi rincón de yoga en casa quiero colocar una columna de madera natural junto al espejo, y allí tengo pensado poner una piedra de sal de himalaya, alguna planta, algún objeto de poder (piedras, corteza..) e incienso, pero no las típicas barritas, sino un cuenco para uso medicinal, espiritual y mágico de inciensos y sahumerios: gomorresinas (el ámbar, el copal, el olíbano, conocido también como franquincienso o francoincienso, es una resina aromática obtenida del árbol Boswellia sacra, y conocida porque según la Biblia fue una de las tres ofrendas que los Reyes Magos regalaron a Jesús, junto con la mirra, otra resina aromática obtenida a partir de una incisión en la corteza del árbol Commiphora myrrha, lo que prueba la importancia de estas sustancias en el pasado).

I am a timewalker. You call it a fileuse de mots

Chapter 1 - “She is not only a witch but a fileuse de temps as well?” Françoise asked Matthew quietly. The unfamiliar term —“time spinner”—conjured up images of the many different-colored threads we’d followed to reach this particular past.

Chapter 8 - “I’m a timewalker.” The word hung in the air between the three of us. “You call it a fileuse de temps.” - Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness

The Artistry of a Wordsmith! – The Wonder In Words

I have a question for all of you spinners, dyers, knitters and wordsmiths out there. Weavers of Words, Spinners of Tales, Spinning and Weaving Stories and Tales. Hiladoras de Palabras, Tejedoras de Historias. What will your verse be?
Letters are magic, powerful symbols capable of casting a spell (witchcraft). Words - marks on paper or vibrations of air - can hurt or heal us with their magic power. The healing power of words is their most magical aspect. Writers, like the shamans or medicine men and women of ancient cultures, have the potential to be healers.
Whether written or spoken, using those letters (and words) also gives an individual the power to persuade and transform others, perhaps an entire nation, and subsequently the entire world.

An artisan (from French: artisan, Italian: artigiano) is a skilled craft worker who makes or creates things by hand that may be functional or strictly decorative, for example furniture, decorative arts, sculptures, clothing, jewellery, household items and tools or even mechanical mechanisms such as the handmade clockwork movement of a watchmaker. Artisans practice a craft and may through experience and aptitude reach the expressive levels of an artist. As verbal artisans, we’ll hew, plane, chisel, and polish to make your message shine. Picture us as origami masters, deftly folding and shaping the words.

Aurora Consurgens

In Greek mythology, Eos is cognate to Vedic Sanskrit Ushas and Latin Aurora (Old Latin Ausosa), both goddesses of dawn, and all three considered derivatives of a PIE stem h₂ewsṓs (later Ausṓs), "dawn", a stem that also gave rise to Proto-Germanic Austrō, Old Germanic Ōstara and Old English Ēostre/Ēastre, and this agreement leads to the reconstruction of a Proto-Indo-European dawn goddess. Eos, a Titaness and the goddess of the dawn, who rises each morning from her home at the edge of the Oceanus and hastens from the streams to open the gates of heaven for the Sun to rise, and thus, to bring light to mortals and immortals, is described by Homer in the Iliad as a beautiful woman with golden arms (krokopakhos) and rosy fingers wearing her saffron-coloured robe (krokopeplos) embroidered with crimson flowers. Ovid tells of Her in his Metamorphoses that she may bring the light of day in her chariot which she rides into the sky ahead of the Sun. She has a purple mantle that spreads out behind her as she rides, and she scatters flowers before her. The Vedic dawn goddess whose name the Sanskrit cognomen of Eos is the saffron-robed Ushas. What we're looking at is saffron (krokos) as a signifier of female sexuality in the ancient world. Athenian girls between the ages of about 7 and 12 were required to participate in a festival at Brauron, the Arkteia, referenced by Aristophanes in Lysistrata. For this, they were dressed in the krokotis, a saffron gown intended to make them look like ruddy little bears. The point of playing the bear for Artemis and stripping from the saffron-bear clothes was symbolically to come of age, to be transformed from being an untamed little wild girl and single into a woman and wife/mother material. And in a rite going back almost a thousand years before the Ancient Greeks, the sky father and the nature mother lay down by a river, and a bed of saffron crocuses sprang from the earth beneath them.

Aphrodite, 1902. Oil on canvas. Briton Riviere.

There clad herself in garments beautiful

The laughter loving goddess. Gold-adorned

She hasted on her way down Ida’s Mount,

Ida, the many-rilled, mother of wild beasts

And in her train, the grey wolf and the bear,

the keen eyed lion and the swift footed pard,

that hungers for the kind, all fawning came.

Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite

Initially venerated as a vegetation goddess of vines and gardens, also a fertility spring* (the maiden)* goddess, and thus, her offspring coming in the form of ideas, crafts, etc., a deity of beauty, eternal love, blissful laughter and youth, a goddess of home and hearth, wild nature and beasts (Mylitta, Tabiti...), she was later perverted into a pagan matroness of lust, sex and promiscuity by the Roman Catholic Church.

http://brujitadecocina.blogspot.com.es/2013/11/saga.html

The earliest word in Western literature to indicate a Witch is the Greek word pharmakis, which means a person possessing the knowledge of plants (particularly the drugs extracted from them). The modern English word pharmacist is derived from this Greek root word. The etymology strongly suggests that early Witches appear to have been essentially herbalists.

In later times the Latin word saga replaced pharmakis. Saga indicated a person who performed acts of divination or fortune-telling (seer). The modern word sage is derived from the Latin word saga.

This was later changed by the Romans to the word venefica, misunderstood today to mean one who uses poisons, but, as will shortly become clear, venefica actually indicated one who prepared love potions. The root word for venefica is the same as that for the word 'venereal', derived from the Latin vene, indicating a relationship to Venus. Another example of the benign vene root connection is the word 'venerate', meaning 'to regard with heartfelt deference'. In the book Phases of the Religion in Ancient Rome (University of California Press, 1932) by Cyril Bailey, the scholar mentions that Venus was originally a deity of gardens and vines, the cultivator (NA) - before being perverted by the Catholic Church into a Pagan deity of sex, lust and promiscuity, she was a vegetation deity and also a fertility goddess (her offspring can be ideas, crafts, etc.) -. Putting this together, we have Venus as a Goddess of plants and the Latin word venefica (replacing the Greek pharmakis used to indicate one knowledgeable in plants), which all suggests that early Witches were in some fashion associated with the Goddess Venus, if only in their dealings with love potions. There may well be more to this, however, for indeed many centuries later (1375 C.E.) a woman named Gabrina Albetti is convicted of practicing Witchcraft after confessing to going out at night, removing her clothing, and worshipping the brightest star in the sky (which would actually have been the planet Venus). - Raven Grimassi, author and lecturer.

(NA) The Brightest Star in the sky, el Lucero del Alba, Venus, Aphodite (April is named after alchemical goddess Aphrodite), also known as Ishtar, Astarte (from East Star). The Goddess of Dawn and Light was once upon a time associated to copper, for copper was an alchemical elemental symbol of light, and copper was used to make mirrors because of its reflective, luminous qualities. Copper was anciently identified as a Venus symbol. The origin of the glyph for copper and Venus is the symbol for the *life force* used by the Egyptians. Known as the Ankh, it depicts a circle over a cross, denoting the (re-)emergence of the solar archetype from the cross of the elements or the triumph of spirit (life force) over matter. The Egyptian symbol for Libra shows the Sun above the Earth, the enclosed space corresponding to the realm of Libra, a conduit of what is known in Peruvian shamanism as kawsay or how to live in harmony between the air and the earth that contain us - this is called in shamanism Clairsentience ('clear-feeling'), and the clairsentient nation combine their high sensitivity, attuned intuition and psychic gift, and have the innate ability to "feel", "know", masterly interpret the energy, feelings, emotions and vibes that exude from people, places, spirits, animals or anything that really contains energy around them, and which isn't seen. They are therefore masters of kinesthesia—the finely attuned state of bio-perception—, and have this extraordinary sensitivity to Earth energy and vibration, to clearly feel energy in their surroundings, to deeply understand the energetic vibrational state of their environment, their bodies designed to receive the raw, primal energy, vital force of the Earth to make it compatible with the celestial energy from above.
