This is not going to be difficult for children since those of the Fae realm trust children enough to show themselves to them. This is why we think children have wild imaginations or even have secret friends only they can see. Those are the magickal beings of the Fae realm connecting with them!
Plus, children are fascinated by the simplest things like raindrops falling from the sky or the sound the wind makes or the creaking of the branches of the trees. Children do believe in magick. You just have to keep the fire alive in them and keep them believing.
A Pentacle is the single most powerful symbol of the ancients. It traverses many religions and is often misinterpreted as a dark symbol and harbinger of dark magick.
There are things that you should find in your Book of Shadows, and then there are those that have no place in such a sacred book.
You’ve got to keep in mind the purpose of having a Book of Shadows, which is to have a record of your magickal experiences and spiritual journey. It is something that you can preserve and look back on 10 years down the road and even pass it on to your daughters and granddaughters who show an interest in Wicca. Your Book of Shadows can serve as a reference material to future witches in your family.
Your Book of Shadows is probably the most personal item in all the Wiccan supplies you have. It is also one of the most essential. There are no two witches that can find the exact same things in their Book of Shadows, that’s how personalized it is. And that’s why no other person should have access to someone’s Book of Shadows.
You might have a new blank Book of Shadows and you are not sure of what to write in it. Or maybe you’re just wondering if there is something else that you should write down in your Book of Shadows that you are missing.
Smudging, when done the right way, clears your mind and space of any negativity. It is a Native American tradition that has survived until now. Why? Because it is very effective. It is also a precursor to any ritual you want to perform.
To smudge is to be able to cross the barrier that separates us from the spiritual realm. It is also a means to communicate with the Divine. It opens up the blocked pathways to allow the Divine to work their magick through us.
