ALTAR REQUIREMENTS
by Karen Charboneau-Harrison
Many people live in small apartments or have roommates. Maybe you don't have an extra room in your house to devote to a home temple. How can you set up a magickal area when you don't have a lot of extra space where you live? What is required on your altar? It doesn't have to be a problem. You don't really have to have a lot of extra space for your altar or magickal working space. You can create a small altar in your bedroom for a specific ritual that you then dismantle when you're finished. Go here to read this article in its entirety...  THE BOOK OF SHADOWS
by Karen Charboneau-Harrison
Historically speaking, the Book of Shadows (BoS) is a fairly recent innovation in Wicca. It is a written record of the seasonal rituals, moon celebrations, rites of passage and esoteric knowledge of a Witch or coven. Wiccan knowledge and lore has been primarily oral until the last half of the twentieth century. The vast majority of our Pagan ancestors were illiterate and would have been unable to keep written records, sharing their wisdom, our history and lore instead by mouth in teaching, story and song. This is not to say that Wicca as a whole is simply a twentieth century invention - we do have roots, lore and practices reaching back into the shadows of history - we just haven't written it down until recently!

by Karen Charboneau-Harrison
Also known as Harvest Home, this Sabbat is named for Mabon , the Divine Youth of antiquity who was hidden yet ever remains as the Sun. His name literally means 'son'. Mabon (Harvest Home, Autumn Equinox) is a celebration of Thanksgiving for the blessings and abundance of the year, for the food, clothing and shelter which sustains us now and will continue to sustain us through the quiet, dark months of Winter. We celebrate the manifestation of the fruits of our labors and look forward to rest and repose after the harvesting. It is the time of the last preparations before the coming of darkness in Winter. As such, it is also the time to prepare the spirit for an interval of introspection and inner growth. Go here to read this article in its entirety... SEPTEMBER'S FEATURED DECK: WICCAN CARDS
