Term: So Mote It Be

DEFINITIONS

So Mote It Be: An ancient phrase that means “so must it be.” Originally used in Freemasonic rituals, it has been adopted for use in modern Wiccan and ceremonial magick rites where it functions as an ending or “seal” (to keep in the power) of a section of a ritual or of the entire ritual. This is similar to the use of “amen” at the end of prayers.

Review of The Enochian Tarot
Summary: Not a beginners deck, the energy and passion in the art, combined with a unique focus on the Enochian system that only loosely—very loosely—follows standard Tarot protocols, make this deck a powerful addition to any magickian’s toolkit, ...

Review of the Faery Wicca Tarot
Summary: A complex deck that can lead to intense readings by intermediate and advanced readers, it is also appropriate for those following Kisma’s Faery Wicca tradition. The Irish names will take dedication to master, but the usefulness of extra ...

What Is Involved in Ritual Magic

The Path of the Shaman Then and Now
I recently heard a wonderfully simple definition of the word shaman. It was: "A shaman is one who helps people in their dealings with the other worlds." These other worlds are the realms above, beyond, and deep within the experiences of our lives. ...
