21st June, the longest day of the year. I'm heading up to a big hill near my home for a picnic and walk with some friends :D

Batty · Posted 05-22-2011, 06:51 PM

I'll probably be doing much of the same, except, without friends. xDD; And every year, I make bright colored tye dye shirts and such. <3

^.^

I make spells; this is usually when non-pagan/witchy friends ask for help with things. Usually a summer romance. They all understand when i tell them i'll only do it generally to draw love into their lives and to expect the unexpected or for it to not work right that season.

this is so cool. i'm glad to find a pagan area here. i've just started learning about Gardnerian Wicca. i'm excited to learn, and eager to do so. it's always nice meeting other pagans/wiccan.

Hello, and welcome Kenly. Whats Gardnerian Wicca?

Sunako · Posted 05-23-2011, 01:54 AM

Hey everyone, I have arrived.

Kenly · Posted 05-23-2011, 03:06 AM

i guess the best way to describe it without going all academic on you is 'traditional' wicca?

Sunako · Posted 05-23-2011, 03:12 AM

Kenly: Ah awesome :). That's cool :)

Gallowsraven · Posted 05-23-2011, 05:32 AM

the form of wicca founded by Gardner (Gerald, wasn't it?). He was adopted into a heritage family (a witch family) and was allowed to take some of their rituals into thw wider world with him. It can be a very traditional path; a friend of mine who is more of the same uses some very long, elaborate rituals for her castings. I only go that long and flowery when speaking to the Egyptian deities, and that can e a mouthful! I don't know she does it ^.^

Welcome Kenly, always great to get new people in here ;)

Sunako · Posted 05-23-2011, 05:36 AM

Ah, thanks for the information raven :)

Lauv Keiko · Posted 05-23-2011, 05:39 AM

HAI GUYS!
*strides*

Sunako · Posted 05-23-2011, 05:45 AM

Hey Lauv Keiko, how are you? :)

Kenly · Posted 05-23-2011, 12:05 PM

yes, raven, thank you. n_n
i'm very new to it. we told our high priestess lady we desire classes, not just to meet for rituals and stuff. she agreed. we had our first 'class' this weekend. we learned about the wheel of the year.
and yeah, the rituals we've done (2) are a little drawn out, but not too bad. we get juice and cookies afterwards, so it's not so bad. *giggle*
in the Gard tradition, though, we're not allowed to share certain stuff that we learn. it's got to stay secret. but, truthfully, i have no one to 'share' with, so it's not going to be a problem.

Lunaryon · Posted 05-23-2011, 02:15 PM

...so how do new people become a part of it?

Kenly · Posted 05-23-2011, 04:36 PM

you find a high priest/ess and ask them to teach you. they'll evaluate you and decide if you're right for the religion, basically.

Gallowsraven · Posted 05-23-2011, 05:24 PM

It's a trait Gardner took from his heritage family; Heritage witches are notoriously secretive and are the least likely of all the types to get caught. To be a part of a heritage family, especially if they "adopt" you (not literally and officially) it is a really big honour. Without them there's little doubt that the Craft would probably have completely died away.

The Real Witches' Handbook (Kate West) is a treasure in my book collection ^.^ she explains all the types of witches in there in easy to understand ways. I'm getting the other two books in the Real Witch series soon ^.^

And to prove that i'm not always a nice witch; i am seriously considering hexing sombody!!! (no one here, i assure you)
