The Yule Log was a traditional item given great honor on Christmas Eve, This piece of wood, cut from a hearty tree and carried home with singing and great merriment, would light and heat the home in anticipation of the Holiday. Legend has it that the master of the house would pour various liquors on it and anoint the piece of wood with oils, salt and wine, and the family would gather around it and prayers would be said. Belief held was that the cinders of the burnt Yule Log would keep the Devil from plaguing the home in the coming year. Reaching further back in civilizations’ history, a Pagan ritual was that on the Winter Solstice, a large log lit to keep evil spirits away as they waited on the longest night of the year for the Sun to rise again. Certain species of trees would be chosen for their magical properties such as Aspen: invokes understanding of the Grand Scheme or Design Birch: signifies a new beginning Holly: invokes visions and reveals the past Oak: burnt for healing and strength Pine: signifies prosperity, growth and bounty Willow: invokes the Goddess to achieve desired outcomes During the Victorian era, many drawing of St. Nicholas, also known as Father Christmas, would be depicted as carrying a Yule Log over one shoulder and dragging a red bag full of toys in the other.

Banishing Ritual and Candle Burning | December 31, 2008

Banishing Ritual and Candle Burning | December 31, 2008 Time to consider banishing all that negativity and sorrow that you endured and struggled with in 2008 with my annual Banishing Ritual and Candle Burning on December 31, 2008 and bring in the New Year with a clean slate and hope for a better 2009! What is It? I created a ritual for New Year’s Eve night to send off in a fiery pyre all the negative things, people and thoughts that plagued my clients throughout the year. I invite you to join us for this ritual. Releasing of old negative thoughts, hurts, jealousies, anger and problems that have plagued your thoughts and home life is purging and mood elevating, and can break free things that have been keeping you down and unable to progress forward. How Can I Participate? There are two ways you can participate. First, you can purchase a tea light vigil candle for $1.25 each and submit your petition for that candle. Quantity is unlimited and if you live with others, it might be a grand release of negativity for everyone in the home to have a candle and petition paper burnt for them (see photo below). The petitions will go into the “coffin” along with the black poppets, mixed with frankincense, myrrh, white sage and lavender, to become a burnt offering to the Heavens (see more photos at link below) The second way to participate is to purchase a black “doll baby” or “poppet” and name it for someone who is giving you the Devil or you would just want them to Go Away and Stay Away. These voodoo dolls are then “named” and stuffed with Spanish Moss and a few other herbs and ingredients to be effective in getting this person out of your life. These black dolls can be your for $20.00 each. Once you have ordered your poppet, you will then be asked to give a small description of the intended person and what you would like them to receive in exchange for doing damage they have done to you.
