(Sobeq, Sochet, Suchos, Sebek, Sobk,Sobki, Soknopais) Sobek was a god of the Nile (which was believed to have come from his sweat) who gave life to vegetation and fertility to the land. The "Lord of the Waters" was believed to have risen from the primeval waters of Nun to create the world. One tale says that Sobek laid his eggs on the bank of the waters, starting the creation process. He was thus a fertility god, "He Who Made the Herbage Green". Neith is the mother of Sobek, known as the crocodile god. He was venerated as one who restored sight to the dead, who revived their senses and who…

(Author’s Note: Read this only if you consider laughter a sincere form of worship!)      I looked in the yellow pages for a Pagan public school. I didn’t find any. Not one. But I did find a variety of metaphysical bookstores and magical supply shops. I went to a few of these stores. And there on the book shelf, I found all the secrets of the universe. Soft-cover, only $9.99.            So now I can do it by the book! I tried calling the four directions, but it took me so long to memorize the exact words verbatim. I tried purifying my sacred space, but I couldn’t pronounce all those ceremonial…

I’ve been weary about talking to the different Gods and Goddesses who are in my life. When I was a Christian I talked to God all the time and gave up when I never felt like I was getting an answer. Albeit I was usually asking for something from that God, a being I considered outside of myself whom I thought much greater than me. It never had occurred to me until later that maybe God was inside of me and that I had all the answers myself. I know of psychics who talk to and listen to their guides frequently. I have pagan friends who tell me about the…

Introduction      Merry Meet, my name is Moss Bliss. I have been an Initiated Wiccan since 1983, the middle part of my spiritual trek. (The Third Movement, so to speak, is developing as I learn to integrate all spirituality into one through my studies in Kashmir Shaivism, adding a couple thousand years’ worth of written works to my pagan beliefs.)      I have also been considered "weird", "sick", "disturbed", etc. since about the age of three (due to a period of sexual abuse by my uncle and brother, which my mother has begun to accept recently). I went from doctor to doctor, my parents trying to find some medical excuse for what…

This month, I am posting more spells on the darker side. Sometimes it is what is needed in our lives. One thing I like to tell witches: You dont have to practice all magick, but learn as much as possible as you never know when you will need it.

If possible,do this in a graveyad at midnite under a waning moon. As the candle or image…

Although she is connected with Bast, she has no relationship with the cat goddess. They are two distinct goddesses in their own rights – the Egyptians did not claim they were siblings of any kind. Bast and Sekhmet were an example of Egyptian duality – Sekhmet was a goddess of Upper Egypt, Bast of Lower Egypt (just…

This Is a hard article to write, specifically because right now I’m dealing with my own pain and hardship back home and may wind up on emergency leave soon enough. I guess writing is a good release and this is a good vent for me. Pain makes you question why we are really here and is the reason we’re here really worth all the pain it brings. I’ve seen war tear apart families time and time again and it got so bad the Army had to focus a whole program on why and then they made a band-aid to fix the problem. At last count we were at 2700 or…
