STONEHENGE

In 1915 the original owners put the Stonehenge crescent up for auction. The Antrobus family looked after it for years, since the beginning of the 19TH century. Cecil and Mary Chubb purchased it at UKD 6,000 and gave it to the nation on October 26th, 1918. The chief executive of the English heritage Mayor, says that the ruin went from being neglected to being a national treasure. Several ruins had fallen and become twisted up over the years of neglect. The English government seeing this they had several different steps of reconstruction and repair for Stonehenge, and they were uprighted in the reconstruction time. There were two different periods that repairs were made to Stonehenge. One was from 1919 to1921 and the second one was from the 1950s to the 1960s. Mrs. Chubb inherited UKD 100,000 which is what was used to purchase the Stonehenge and the land. Today 6,000 UKD would equal eight million UK dollars. Mrs. Chubbs was a major factor in the purchase of the Stonehenge. There is a researcher for a college called The West of England College and had been staying abreast of the Chubbs and was documenting their life. Mr. Chubbs had been deemed Knight just a year after giving the Stonehenge to the nation. The couple was called Sir Cecil and Lady Chubb. For years, the archaeologist has been stumped on the mysterious powers the stone henge has. It took fifteen hundred years to get built and completed. The stone henge is in southern England. There are approximately one-hundred humungous stones standing upright in a crescent. At one point in time, this was used as a burial grounds. For centuries, no one has been able to find a definitive answer to what another purpose this place is used for. It has really confused people for hundreds of years because the outer ring is made of the sandstone that came from nearby quarries, the inner ring is blue stones, these came from Preseli Hills in Wales, two hundred miles from where the Stonehenge landmark resides at Salisbury Plains. Since the 1980s, over one hundred million people have come to see the Stonehenge monumental landmark. The only thing that anyone can figure out is that they were used for ceremonials and rituals and for winter and summer solace to celebrate the shortest and longest days of the year. Hundreds and hundreds come to this celebration every year. Today as of 2020 no one can get close to them due to tourists defacing and vandalizing the druidic stones. In 1977, they were sectioned off because all the physical touching was creating a lot of deterioration. The first part of them was built no earlier than five thousand years ago but could have been even longer than that. Archaeologists feel the prehistoric rune was built up in multiple stages. To help the stones to stand there was a deep hole or ditch dug to support the thousands of tons of stones weight back in this era. The holes were named after John Aubrey, the guy who discovered them, and at one time they may have held a ring of lumber posts around them. Hundreds of years later after this landmark uprising, it is believed that that the boulders carried eighty blue stones in them and was brought up into a crescent-shaped standing position. There are only forty-three left standing today. The third part of this uprising happened around two hundred BC. There was a crescent ring set up from Sarsen sandstone slabs. Some were put together in tree piece structural builds called tri-Lithions that stand in the center of the stone henge. Approximately fifty can be seen on the historical site and more than that may have been there at one time or another. The work with the blue stone may have continued through roughly the 1600s and they had been moved around multiple times. The largest stone henge weighs more than forty tons, stands up to twenty-four feet in height, and came about twenty-five miles north of the memorial site and was moved by sleds and ropes. Some were found in the areas the archaeologist started digging in. Stonehenge site is a world heritage site jumping in with other UK sites is the Giants Cause Way Canterbury Cathedral and Lake District. This is now a threatening issue. There has been talking of putting in a three KM tunnel along the side of the stones. There was a dispute on this and the problem is it would disturb the grounds and cause the Stonehenge to crumble and fall due to the vibrations of the ground while the construction work was being done. The highways department says it would restore the tranquil environment setting of the historical site. Archaeologists argue it would cause imminent damage to the historical landmarks, so now UNESCO wants to put in a bypass. With all the arguing there is an undesirable chance that they will pull the world heritage status. Stonehenge is a Unesco world heritage site and is not legally protected as an official ancient monument and has become the property of the Crown. It belongs to the royal family king and queen and the land belongs to the national trust. The iron age was the last time Stonehenge was used as a burial grounds. There is proven documentation to there being spiritual activity attached to all the Stonehenge sites. It is also believed that it is linked to the heavenly divine workings. For example, the equinox or eclipse. There are ancient tales of this being related to the English folklore. There are over 400 burial mounds that surround the Stonehenge crescent and most people get creepy feelings from this area. Architects and others are completely uncertain of the exact purpose of what Stonehenge sites were used for. At one time we are certain it was used for burial grounds but some think it was used for royalty, others think Monks, Druids, and Vikings. What has been established is that it was used as a very important establishment for thousands of years. It’s also unknown as to why Britians went to Salisbury Plains in particular to build it and why the Stonehenge was continued to be built. We do know at one point it was a burial site but was also thought of being used for astronomy purposes. Other thoughts are it is used for ceremonial rituals or a memorial to honor to connect to the ancient ancestors. I believe it is for connection rituals to our ancient ancestors because of all the reported sightings at the American Stonehenge location. Some believe that people did not have the slightest clue of astrology or any knowledge of zodiacs back in that era. With this being said, many believe it was used for ceremonial and ritual purposes back then. They also believe the England fog and cloud coverage would prevent them from being able to use it as it would block the view. In the time these were built the skies and air would be clean of pollutions. There is also the possibility of it being used as a healing grounds because the corps that were unburied shown visible signs of illness, scars, wounds, and injuries. If this is the case, what are the odds and possibilities that it was used as a healing and burial sight for any of the Knights Templar? The other reason that its thought of as a healing grounds is because the blue stone that is in the boulder hold healing properties. There is also a Stonehenge in Salem and New Hampshire. No one knows who built these or why it was left abandoned. America’s Stonehenge has always been a very spiritual location. This location is up on Mystory Hill. It is in the far back of the woods and is a self-tour site. The 4,000-year-old Megalith location is made like a maze with trails of stone chambers. This specific location has an Oracle chamber, an operating observatory, a sacrificial altar, and a burial chamber. This location is open to the public year-round and the metaphysical and the paranormal activity at this site is practically impossible to ignore. Many tourists have reported things like they felt they were being watched and there was not anyone around. They would see a pair of red fiery glowing eyes glaring at them from a short distance. Neighbors can see strange lights and hear odd noises coming from within the woods late at night. An employee has seen a stone turn into an old woman and starts walking towards her across the parking lot. Makes you wonder if there are bodies hidden from within the stones or they have attached themselves to the stones even. Anyone who has stolen a stone from the grounds has very promptly returned it to the site. The visitors say that they watched the stone turn into a 9 foot Native Indian within their home. The sightings that have been reported are virtually endless. When visitors come to the site they report seeing bright blue energy and some have gotten pictures of this. They complain and report coffee going cold fast, batteries draining, and going dead. Empaths and mediums have gone to the site to investigate and report that there are hundreds of free reign spirits. They have been not been able to find out if its Druids, Vikings, Native Indians, Monks, but with as much history the Stonehenge has and the years that they go back, it could be a mix of all.

THANATOS

Thantos is the substantiate of death and is known as a Greek God as well. In Greek mythology, he is known as the grim reaper, son of Nyx, and Hypnos, Lord of Sleep, is Thanatos’ twin brother. they are constant companions, and Thantos has no mercy, he is relentless, He believes all mundane should and will eventually die. It is believed that he is the only one that will walk you to the underworld to Hades once your dead. Sometimes people confused him with Hades, the king of the underworld. The only ones who have defeated death were Heracles and Sisyphus. Thanatos is a gentle deity of death, with a gentle touch. His sisters, on the other hand, are the ones of violent deaths.

Euripides explains Thanatos is walking among people wearing a black robe and carrying a sword. Thanatos has been seen as a winged young man, a bearded, winged older man, and a winged serpent. Thanatos’ wings are on his back. Hypnos and Thanatos are often seen together. Many think he lives in the Underworld in return would make him a Chthonic deity. He is also tied to the Morai, better known as the fates. Now, It is uncommon to come across a person who worships him in modern witchcraft, paganism, and Hellenic Polytheism, but he is considered a negative deity who shouldn’t be played with.

Since Thantos is a death deity and considered a Chthonic, items, and tools like skulls and bones would be a really good obvious symbolism to represent him. You could also dig deeper with images of scythes and swords and the sword should be sheathed. Inverted torches, poppy flowers, butterflies, and snakes are sentimental things to Thanatos and things more closely related to death are animals such as ravens, crows, grave dirt, and a tombstone, rosewood thorny branch, representing the beauty and harshness of death.


Cypress, poppies, poppy seeds, any kind of grave rubbings, graveyard dirt, snake skins, snakes, butterflies, and black stones but more favored are obsidian and onyx, any grim reaper symbolism, skulls or bones collected, preferably humanely, black, purple or red candles, bitter foods and drinks wine included, Apothic Dark is his favorite, cigars, black, prefers coffee and tea to be served and offered black, dark chocolate, no sugar or honey, this deity isn’t favorable to sweet things at all you may disgrace him if offered. He enjoys drawings, paintings, poetry, and music and does not like cruelty, forsakes, pigheadedness, cowards, confusion, he doesn’t like anyone who tries to buy him out or negotiate deals with him, or anyone who would keep him from his responsibilities and materialism

Thanatos is typically asexual, perhaps caused by the trauma of robbing the first human he was fascinated with by the kiss of life. Due to this, there is no way for him to have a lover without taking their life and he is usually responsible enough to silence his desires for the welfare of others. While he can be intimate with a shadow, he usually doesn’t perform in lust action since he finds little satisfaction from it. Whereas gender is concerned he doesn’t discriminate, he has more interest in males having slightly more male than female lovers within the span of his life. It is uncommon for him to have a lover and he doesn’t know love with the same intensity others have had the pleasure of knowing it.

Thanatos is one of duty first and, just a tool of The Fates he collects. He doesn’t pass judgment nor discriminates against any soul he collects. He does however prepare himself for the reaction of the soul he has come to collect. Before he goes to do anything he’s wanting to do, most of the time when he is doing something he wants to do, he’s running on autopilot to perform his function. Thanatos has a few weapons one is an amulet he wears as a necklace, a sword, two daggers, and a scythe, he doesn’t keep them with him to collect the souls of those who have passed but to defend himself from ones who would attack him or souls that would elude him. The amulet was a gift from his mom given to him when he was a kid and can hide one god from another god. The Darkness gifted him with his sword when he came of age and rumor of wars began. The two daggers were gifts from Hades when The Olympian dynasty began and the Stygians came under their rule, and the daggers were for ceremonial purposes that were to cut a lock of hair for the dedication of the living sacrifice, adding to the wealth and honor of Hades. The scythe stays in Thanatos’ closet and goes unused now. It was a key to a door better left shut. This was where Thanatos used to temporarily hide souls before things were more structured.

When Thanatos was young he worked for no one but Fate, then other gods wanted to make more and have more power over something that already existed and caused battles and wars. After all the wars, a new empire came for death to serve. This being said, it was the will of Fate, he didn’t debate this. Since then he has continued to collect those that were fated to death, he collected their souls on Earth and delivered them to the banks of Styx where they make their afterlife journey once the judgment was passed.

He was loyal and dedicated to three Olympian kings, before them, he remains first, a servant of Fate. He has remained calm since the coup and has become bitter and tried to keep the Underworld denizens from being too hasty one way or another until they found out more information on things.

He would be good to work with on a spiritual level. Thanatos has been known for his dark sense of humor, and strict father roll, and his continuous wisdom. If you want to learn about death on a physical aspect or just the concept of death and rebirth, then He may be the one you need to reach out to. He will guide you to reflect on past thoughts, words, routines, and actions, as well as “kill” the negativities of everyday life that do not serve you anymore as a person in general. He teaches patience, wisdom, and understanding, If you make an unnecessary comment, and if I deal with a situation in a ‘less than adult’ type of way, he will have you to rethink what was said and ask if that was the appropriate response. A sort of thing before you speak lesson, he also will pipe up and say “Was that necessary? Do you feel any better about that? If I deal with a situation in a less than an adult way, he will tell me to rethink what was said and ask if that was the appropriate response. Thanatos is a lesson teacher, he may be an intimidating deity at first, but he is worth all the smacks on the hands and lectures when you see the lessons you have learned from him.

Thantos is invoked by the souls that wish to have a painless and peaceful death. His tools are a sword or an inverted torch. He has appeared to people with both. The favorite color is black, purple, and red. His favorite herbs and flowers are poppies, willow, pomegranate, birch, mandrake, mugwort, African violets. His favorite animals is a snake and butterfly, the best offering for Thantos is Poppies, black candles, and any kind of image that represents Thantos. Colors: black, purple, red. Friday and Saturday are his favorite days of the week. The lunar moon phase is the dark moon haha go figure right. The most favored incense is Opium, Wisteria, Musk, Myrrh, Black Blossom. Raven and crow feathers, Sabbats are Mabon & Samhain. The practices are death, witchery, and ancestor, honor, Spirit communication, and shadow Magick. He also likes tobacco and cigars, and rum or brandy.

The mundane world doesn’t usually see him because he is typically physically between worlds, so they don’t see him until they are at the death gate. He normally goes anywhere and does anything on the mortal plane without being noticed.

Thanatos is one of the oldest immortal Gods and maintains a youthful and androgynous appearance. He is thin and toned underneath his black cloak and has a solid body when occupying the same metaphysical space as others. Normally when he is between worlds he is transparent. He is tall, he is 6′ 3, and towers over most people in the mundane world. His wings are massive and are usually hidden under his black cloak when he is in the Underworld. He can change or hide his wings. The wings change according to the shapeshift role he has when he approaches a soul he has come to collect. He can change them to an angelic set of wings, soft when he changes his role of a gentle and comforting Death or to a demonic and evil to a cold and cruel Death. He shapes shifts according to how the soul he has come to collect perceives him, positive or negative, determined by the person’s aura when they are passing. Thanatos’ lips are of a blue hue at times and look like he has on blue lipstick. this is the actual color of his lips showing how cold Death is at times, although his lips can change to a warmer color depending on if he is warmed by some external source.

He holds power over the earth’s fertility and abundance. He controls the quantity of rain and the spirit of the oak forest that spreads through Europe

He slams down his almighty hammer named Mjollnir on the sacred places of magical workings and worship and events. When he does this, he is purging the sacred place of any spirits to cleanse and purify these for any events that may be taking place.

His son, Hephaestus, split his head open, and outcomes Athena grew, with robe and helmet on.

In classic myths, Athena didn’t take any lovers and was referred to as the virgin or Athena Parthenos. This is how the Parthenos temple in Greece got the name.

The cult of Athena came early on, she had many arguments with Poseidon, her uncle, (God of the Sea). Athena and Poseidon both loved a town off the coast of Greece. They both also claimed possession of this coastal city, This went on for a while and decided on a resolution to whom was going to take possession of this coastal city. They decided whoever could give this coastal city the best gift would steak claim, be Patron of this coastal city.

Athena and Poseidon went uptown to Acropolis. Poseidon struck the side of a cliff with his trident and up popped a water spring, this impressed the citizens of Greece. The spring was of saltwater and didn’t serve many purposes.

Savior of cities, courageous tritogeneia, From his awful head, wise Zeus him-self bore her, arrayed in warlike arms of flashing gold, and awe seized all the gods as they gazed, but Athena sprang quickly from the immortal head and stood before Zeus who holds the aegis shaking a sharp spear: great Olympus began to reel horribly at the might of grey eye goddess and earth round about cried fearfully and the sea was moved and tossed with dark waves while foam burst forth suddenly the bright son of Hyperion stopped his swift-footed horse along while until the maiden Pallas Athena had stripped the heavenly armor from her shoulders and wise Zeus was glad hail to you daughter of Zeus who holds the Aegis!!!!!

KRONOS

BY: LYNN REED

Kronos has a brutal complex in Greek mythology. He overthrew his mother and empowered himself over the world. He is the father of Hades, Zeus, Poseidon, and Demeter. He was the most powerful god in Greek mythology and one of the most powerful gods in general. His wife gifted with sight was able to see one of their children overthrowing him one day.

With this being made aware of, he swallowed all of his kids except for Zeus. Zeus ended up setting his siblings free later on and overpowered his father. Kronos was locked up in prison with the Titans. Eventually, he reconciled with his son. Kronos was one of the Titan children of Gaia and Uranus. Kronos married his sister Rhea. Uranus loved the Titans who were beautiful and powerful, and he would lock up the less pleasing siblings, such as the Hecatoncheires and Cyclopes. Gaia started hunting for a hero among the Titans. Someone strong enough to overthrow their father and set free their siblings. All of the other Titans declined the offer except for Kronos, the youngest male.

Gaia gave Kronos a sickle to castrate his father with. He took over his father’s place as a leader for the pantheon. Unfortunately, Kronos did not completely accomplish what he promised his mother. He didn’t free his siblings. He became afraid that one of his children would treat him like he did his father. Kronos began swallowing his kids. (A different myth says that he only swallowed the male children.) Rhea was heartbroken that he ate her children. She went to talk with her mother, even though she was still distraught, at the captivity of her other children and with Metis, Goddess of Wisdom. They were still capable of coming up with a plan. Rhea was able to quietly save her son, Zeus. She then sent him into hiding.

Many years later, Zeus came out of hiding to confront his father. Kronos was secretly served an elixir that caused him to regurgitate the children he had swallowed. They returned as adults and wanted complete control of their powers. Zeus and his siblings formed a new pantheon, the Olympians, who squared up in a war against their elders, the Titans, led by Kronos. This war between pantheons lasted ten years until Zeus finally freed the Cyclopes and Hecatoncheires who helped send the Olympians to victory.

There are different stories of what happened to Kronos
• He escaped to Italy where he assumed a new name, Saturn
• He was imprisoned alongside other defeated Titans.

WITCHES BLACK SALT

BY: LYNN REED

Black salt is made a few different ways for centuries, and if you add or subtract an ingredient or three hahaha will determine if you going to have a protection salt or a hexing salt. It is used for hexing, cursing, jinxing, blessing, protection, and healings. Salt is an excellent element for any spell due to the purities it possesses from the wonderful mother earth. This will act as a protectant from physical, and psychic attacks on you as well as absorb psychic energies. This is also a representation of the earth. This is also a base for alchemy, hoodoo, and is useful at work, and workspaces.

The purpose of this salt is to deter any ill will, negative intentions, physical or psychic attacks, negative spirits sent. It’s used in casting circles, sprinkling around the perimeter of your property line, cast a line at the foot of your front door outside. Once it has served its purpose ill sweep it up and tosses it away in a bag all its own. If a spell is completed rather it is blessing or hex, ill bag it up and dispose of them both together and bury it far away and as deep as possible. Negative energies can make crazy things happen.

There are two ways I make the black salts, one is for hexing and the other is for personal protection or to protect the spell I’m working on.

1)- Is the protection black salt, Add powdered eggshell, sea salt, or Himalayan salt, white sage ash, incense ash, 3 pinches of used coffee grounds, and cinnamon powdered up.
6 eggshells powdered, membranes removed completely
A quarter or a fourth of my container of salt, put in a bullet blender to powder up for use
The ash of one whole white sage bundle
The ash of 6 burned incense sticks
One tablespoon of cinnamon- powdered
3 pinches of used coffee grounds or 1 teaspoon full
place the lid on and shake vigorously to mix up well

When I make black hexing salt, I use your basic sea salt or Himalayan salt, the ash of a burned charcoal disc with burned fresh coffee grounds, the shavings of cast iron from one of my skillets, the outside part, its the darkest and most concentrated, powdered black pepper and black walnut, rather it is the leaves, bark branches, or a piece of the root broken up as small as I can get it after completely dried out. When this is being used, I sprinkle it around my spell. I have used this once and a sour jars life is usually seven to nine days. This one took effect on the third night after the third black candle was burned on it.

A quarter of the container of salt in a bullet grinder to powder up
One full burned charcoal disc powdered up with 1 tablespoon of coffee ground burned on it. Shave a small pile of cast iron metal shavings, 1 tablespoon of powdered black pepper
Then one tablespoon of black walnut powdered up.

So as you can see, there are many differences between hexing salts and a protection salt. They become very strong and powerful. Kosher table salt is fine to use if this is what you have available to you. You can grab a container and use the ashes from a barbeque pit because of the charcoal or wood, the ashes from your fireplace id acceptable because the ash is from wood and wood as salt comes from the ground and has natural purities for protections, in Hoodoo, charcoal and black walnut id for hexing, jinxing, and cursing.

Kosher table salt- No basic table salt is not blessed by a rabi, it is exactly what it is, a simple myth, Now if I was to grab the shaker off his family’s dining table EEHHH maybe, but I’m sure he would look at me about half-crazy so if Kosher table salt is what you have, it is perfectly fine and just as safe to use as sea salt.

Seas salt- This is a little better than your basic Kosher table salt, this is more natural, and for protection, it’s perfect, add in some ash from a sacred fire ritual ceremony.

Himalayan salt- is pink because of the iron it has infused into it, iron is also an element that represents the earth, so with that being said, it offers protection during an out-of-body experience which is astral projection, and used for shamanic workings.

Black lava salt- this is sea salt mixed with activated volcano charcoal, this is very good for rituals and ceremonies, its good for removing physical and psychic toxins, this is awesome for any purifications you perform.

Dead sea salt- due to the connections to the holy land it is highly recommended for purification ceremonies and rituals, this holds a lot of minerals and comes up from under the earth ground, great for cleansing baths and breaking negative psychic attacks.

MALACHITE

BY: LYNN REED

Malachite means mallow, mallow is a green herb and also stands for soft or malakos, either way, the name goes well with the crystal. As the crystal is also a soft stone and easily carved into shapes and sizes.

It is found in twelve countries, Shaba, Congo, Tsumeb, U.S, England, Mexico, Namibia, Australia, Chili, Arizona, Russia, and the Ural Mountains.

Malachite is a soft crystal. On the scale of hardening, it sits between3-4%. With this being said, the only jewelry that it is used in is earrings, pins, and denotes and is used for a lot of sculptures because of how soft the crystal is, it is easy to cut into, the crystal is easily cracked, chipped and broken.

Emerald Malachite is found in the Sinai and Eastern deserts in Egypt. It is rare to find a single Malachite crystal when they are found here but when you do find them they are already in a prism shape and are long. When the crystal is found in raw form it looks like tiny carpet fibers jumbled up.

Malachite is is a chemical look alike to Azurites, and it comes from azurite so with this said the two are normally found together and sometimes they have grown together as one crystal. It is very sensitive to hot water, acid, and acidic chemicals and it will lose its shine very quickly. Malachite will also break down extremely easily, very similar to selenite.

This crystal goes way back into the ancient Egyptian era. To the Roman and the Greeks as well. They would use this stones powder after it was cut down to make eye shadow, the powder would be mixed in with oils, animal fat (tallow) to make the eye shadow, jewelry, and would add it to paint for the pigmentation to have green paint. In Russia the heaviest Malachite crystal weighed twenty tons.

Women in those eras were known for having eye disease. Since Malachite was believed to hold healing powers, they would use it as an eye shadow to cure or prevent eye disease from happening.

The crystal is green due to the amount of copper carbonate in it. There are light green and dark green stripes or lines in the crystal. The dark green is where not so much water diluted the stone but the lighter the color of green the more diluted it became and washed away some of the copper.

This crystal is used predominantly by healers, it is used in the protection of witchcraft, the evil eye, evil spirits, strong cleanser for the body, releases childhood trauma, and releases a past life. This stone shows a lot of compassion for what is blocking the spiritual growth, it breaks patterns of life that are worn out, draws any deep feelings, also shows someone about taking responsibility for their actions, and puts an end to unessisary ties. Malachite teaches you to take action for your feelings and thoughts.

Malachite heal the earth, and cleanses pollutants from the air, and removes negative energies from your body as well as the individuals you are around that may have been an attack on you or the negativities that you may have encountered while out and about. This crystal soaks up the negativity so you dont as long as you carry this crystal on you, in a pocket, purse, wallet, or even in a crystals bag in your bra by your heart,

Malachite played a roll thousands of years ago in the Egyptian rituals. Malachite represented vegetation which meant new life and fertility and because they understood vegetation, it also meant death, this also in return was resembling the circle of life.

Malachite has also been referred to as the magic stone because of its good luck, safe travels by air, and busy road protection, good health, success, consistency for affection. Thousands of years ago it was worn to protect against black magick and sorcery, It is good for wishes, prosperity magic.

It is associated with the love goddess lady of the mountains and associated with venus and if happy it would protect minors from any harm, Freya, the Norse goddess of love and beauty. By gazing at or holding Malachite it will relax the nervous system, and bring a sense of peace and harmony. It assists in treating the heart, lungs, emotional problems, and migraines.

LABRADORITE

BY: LYNN REED

The Labradorite crystal, I would have to say is my personal favorite. In this column, I am going to cover a lot of information that will be helpful. In the next several paragraphs you going to be mesmerized. Who knows some of you may read this and jump online and order yourself a nice size gorgeous Labradorite. So hold on tight, we’re going on a Rainbow Labradorite ride. The meaning of Labradorite is “Stone of Magick”.

Labradorite represents a wide variety of things for a single crystal. I was honestly surprised and impressed with it. The Labradorite is loved by diviners, healers, shawman, hidden realms, seen and unseen. Self-awareness into the spiritual world, intuition, psychic abilities, protection, auras, strengthening sights, prophecy, coincidence, clairvoyance, telepathy, healing, serendipity, respiratory issues, anxiety, stress, blood pressure, menstrual symptoms, spleen, stomach, adrenals, liver gallbladder, gout, and last but not least, rheumatism.

So as you can see in a short, there is a multitude of things the cherished Labradorite, is great for. Throughout history, dating back for thousands of years, Labradorite is loved and cherished by many, shawman, diviners, Psychics, and so on. Many have relied a lot on the beautiful crystal. this crystal also assisted the telepathic, third eyes, and psychics to see and also visit the spiritual realms, sometimes even tell prophies.

Many healers, such as the shawman- (Indian medicine man) use this stone to help relieve pain associated with menstrual cycles, gout, Gaul bladder issues, pain with the spleen, stomach aches, and rheumatoid arthritis. Sometimes the individuals that have high blood pressure keep this wonderful stone nearby to help with the pain that comes with the heart hurting from blood pressure going sky high and to alleviate the headaches that come with that.

Anxiety and stress, well theirs a lot to be said for these two that go hand in hand. Stress goes up, anxiety is sure to follow and does not stay far behind. Anxiety kicks in and it gets hard to breathe, the heart starts racing and your breathing becomes labored. When this starts happening, I light some white sage and place the Labradorite between my collar bone and my curated artery, after a few minutes, everything starts to settle down. Great to have. This may not work for all, everyone’s crystals have their unique bond with their owner.

BIRTH AND HISTORY OF THE WITCH

By: LYNN REED

The term “witch” has always been perceived as derogatory and made out to be horrible. It was made and taught to others as a bad thing. Evil, devil-worshiping, and satanic things, and related it to crazy people, and was even greatly exaggerated to brainwash people from following or even learning the actual true meaning of a witch, their lifestyle,s, and practices.
We were scrutinized and exaggerated as have the appearance of a wart nosed, pointed hat-wearing, leaning over boiling pots, wrinkled up, broom flying, bristled, and frizzed hair. In reality, history was dark and quiet and for the most part gloomy and confirming by society.
originally witches were magical practitioners who cast magical spells and would call upon the spirits to help carry out those spells by realigning the universe to reorganize the sequence of things and events. In the old days, witches were seen as working for the devil. In reality, centuries ago, I repeat centuries ago pagans were healers and were referred to as wise women. Technically this was just more Wiccan crap formed by Gerald Gardner. Healers fall under the Native Indian Shaman. Yes, I do believe that a witch can be a healer but practices under the Native Indian spiritual healers. Altho, not as a Pagan or Wiccan. These are called Christian-witches which cannot exist according to your so-called all mighty God.
There is no certain way of knowing when the witch came about but the first documented record of witch happenings happened from 721-931-BC, Yes I said BC. Before Christ. So technically if it was before Christ, how would they even know when witches and the magickal practitioners of all sorts were even in existence or how evil the craft was even supposed to be. That’s right, they don’t. There’s no way it would be recorded in the Christian bible much less and of the books with-in.
Witchcraft was talked about in 1-Samuel, talking about King Saul, who went looking for the witch to summons up the spirit of Samuel, the spirit of the dead profit, to attempt to defeat the Philistine army. So there you have it, even a so-called Christian went looking for aid and assistance from a witch. The witch brought Samuel back and about, Samuel talked about the death of Saul and his sons. The next day Saul committed suicide and his sons were killed in battle. This is another example of magickal practicings and the reorganizing and aligning of the universe. For every one thing done something else has to be moved around to take its place. With all this proof in my opinion Christianity does not exist.
Witches and witchcraft were always a derogative thing to the hypocritical, two-faced, back-stabbing mocking Christian “individuals”. who in my opinion has been given false hope and empty promises of redemption. From everything, I have ever experienced in my personal life as a former so-called Christian is the hypocritical ways of church-going, bible thumping Christians. Always gossiping about someone behind their backs and turn around, smile at you, try to hug you and tell you how glad they are to see you. ask you if there anything you need and how they missed seeing you at church last weekend. If you want to see their so God’s humor and laugh at you, tell him your plans, see how fast it goes south.
I have no desire to ever reclaim Christianity, besides it was to appease my mother as it was. They pretty much stole every Holy day the craft practitioners have and tweaked it to make the Holidays fit into their false hopes lifestyles they were brainwashed to have for them to fit into someones say of conformity and lies, to feel good about themselves, and to be able to sleep at night. The simple explanation of the difference between us as witches and the so-called Christians is that we will openly say that yes we acquired a lot of our spiritual and healing practices from the native Indians. The Christians on the other hand will never say they stole any of our Holy days and tweaked them to their likings. As a witch myself, I can honestly say we, none of us have nor will ever actually fit into anyone’s thoughts or ways of conformities.
The old testament of the Christian bible says that no one should reach out or contact a witch to communicate with the deceased or to believe in divination or chantings, henceforth again a little more could be said about the neo-pagans and the Wiccans as the Christian witch, It just can’t and don’t happen.
the chaotic witch-hunting frenzy took place in Europe during the mid-1400s. Thousands were accused of being witches, they were being tortured and tormented till they would say they were witches just to get people to stop torturing them. The majority would simply agree they were witches and were not. Within no time, just a matter of ten years, the witch hunts were just as common as going to the restroom. Most were executed by burning them at the stake and then decapitation to release their souls. It was believed at that time doing so would release the witch’s soul and couldn’t be summoned from the dead by any unknown witches. TV has glorified the witch into a nose wiggling teeny-bopper learning to control her powers and floating or orbing the natural body from room to room.
There were roughly eighty thousand witches killed in Europe in the witch hunt trials. Up to eighty percent were women who were reported as being in a feud with the devil and said to be full of sinful desires. The death toll took place between the 1500s and 1650s. Ireland had the lowest percentage as when Germany seemed to hit the top of the charts.
In 1486 there was a book written and was suspected to be what made the witch hunt worse and caused it to spread throughout the new world country. The title of this book was “Malleus Maleficarum” meaning “The Hammer of Witches” in English. This book was basically and simply giving instructions on how to identify a witch and gives a detailed explanation of how to interrogate or question a witch. Just to be able to figure out who and what they were. This book was used as a guide and was enforced as a new law book to flush out witches by the Catholics and protestants. This book sold more books than any other book aside from the bible and held this position for over one-hundred years.
The Salem witch trials happened when a nine-year-old girl named Elizabeth and another of eleven years old started having seizures, the townspeople were calling these body fits and were screaming. Everyone thought the kids had been poisoned by some kind of fungus causing hallucinates and muscle spasms.
The Catholic witch hunts had finally started decreasing in Europe and were on the uphill rise in Salem Massachusetts. This had started a spinning motion derived from the Brittan and french war. The smallpox epidemic hit and the fear of continuous attacks from the native tribes were taking place and created more chaos among the townspeople. The most common witch hunt and trials were stemming from Salem Massachusetts The most famous witch hunt trials in Salem happened in 1692. Then more women started having these fits. This caused a lot of panics. Then Sarah Good, Tituba, and Sarah Osborne were slaves owned by Elizabeth Parris’s dad. the three women were accused of practicing black magic witchcraft. There were around about one-hundred and fifty accused and eighteen were sentenced to death. Bridget Bishop was the first one accused and to be hung. Oddly enough six men were also accused and sentenced to death.
Salem Massachusetts isn’t the first of all thirteen colonies to carry on about witches. In 1647 Windsor, Connecticut, The first person in America executed was Alse Young for witchcraft. Before the final witch trial happened in 1697, there were forty-six people were accused of witchcraft and eleven were killed for the accusation of witchcraft.

There were a lot of people panicked about witches in Virginia. In 1655 southern Norfolk County there was a law passed making it illegal to wrongly accuse someone of witchcraft. Still, witchcraft was a worrisome issue. There were approximately twenty-four witch trials and all consisting predominantly of women happening in Virginia from 1626 -1730. The ones accused never were put to death.
Grace Sherwood is the most talked-about witches. She was accused of hexing the neighbor’s pigs and cursing their cotton. There were other accusations made on her and her trial began in 1706. They decided to use a water test to see if she was guilty or innocent. Her arms and legs were tied up and she was thrown into a lake. During this time if you sank you were innocent, She didn’t sink and was found guilty of being a witch. She was imprisoned and for eight years.
Benjamin Franklin wrote an article in 1730 for the Gazette in New Jersey. It discusses all the ludicrous ways the authority accused people of being witches. Not too much longer the chaotic behavior and panic had come almost to a screeching halt. Then he had a law passed preventing people from being wrongly convicted of such accusations.
