FULL MOON RITUALS

hich no one else hears- and for deer, each melody brings a tale from the beginnings of this eve..the season of yule wears so many faces. although there are many paths, each seems to recognize the speciality of the time when the world balances on the axis, and for just a moment, each of us takes pause and senses the delicate structure of our vast universe. and once again, the promise if fulfilled. owl walks slowly thru the glen surrounding the castle. there are spaces, where the grass is well tended, and mature plantings give evidence of human hand. yet she feels most comforted in wandering thru those wooded areas where faint paths mark the passing of the deer, the otter, the skunk, the fox, the bear, and the raccoon. stepping softly, becoming a creature of the forest, she can hear, in the

ind plays softly among the leaves, as though caressing an old friend. she can feel the subtle shifting of the deep roots, as the tree responds to the breeze, lifting it's arms and swaying gently in a stately dance. a sudden rustle, and shower of leaves breaks her concentration, and a soft "hoot. hoot. hoot" reaches her ears. looking up with a grin, she can make out the profile of the great horned owl, as he watches her. wondering what this strange little lady is doing out at this hour hugging his tree "hello, my brother" whispers, owl "shall we sing together tonight" owl climbs up onto a strong branch, and settles herself in the nook of the tree. her brother owl watches warily, yet without much concern. his head turns regally, as if to say "well, as long as you're here, and you have manner

owl climbs up onto a strong branch, and settles herself in the nook of the tree. her brother owl watches warily, yet without much concern. his head turns regally, as if to say "well, as long as you're here, and you have manners, it makes no nevermind to me" and softly she sings. a bit sentimental. edelweiss. and then, using the same tune, she makes up her own words, greeting the oak, and then the owl, and all the creatures which share this beautiful forest. her song is of life, and love, and acknowledgment that to each of the creatures in this world, there is a common bond. she serenades the land, and the land sings back. in the sighing of the wind in the trees, the hoot of the owl, the gurgle of the stream, the buzz and chirp of the insects, while fireflies dance in the melodies. rested

special moment. and heads for the castle. at the huge doors, she lifts the knocker, and waits for the castle to bid her welcome. as the doors glide open, she is glad to see a warm fire blazing, and there is evidence that someone has been there already, for the floor has been swept, and candles lighted. the torches blaze around the room, and the table has been laid with bowls waiting to be filled. owl has brought a pan of baklava, made lovingly by a valued friend, who has a wonderful way with this dish. the delicate phylo dough, stuffed with nuts and spices, and drenched in the honeyed nectar, is a most appropriate offering this night "there will be many who will recognize this recipe, and drool at the thought of another chance to sample the sweet, spicy flavors" owl thinks, with a grin. so

he wears a golden robe, shot with slivers of mirrored cloth. gold and mirrored bits drip from her necklace and earrings. amber rings adorn her fingers, and strings of tiny golden bells adorn her ankles "this is a joyous season" owl states to the castle as much as herself "let the bells ring out, let the candles glow, and let friendship warm the hearts as the fires warm the hearths. so mote it be..owl's melody merges seamlessly into another, which makes its way to deer's heart..a black bear wanders into a stone circle, followed by a low flying small grey owl. the circle smells fresh, but the stones are old. so is the black bear. she is an older bear, her coat is still black but tinged with new grey. sniffing the stone altar in the center, she recognizes the scent. deer. but not. there is a

ors, huge oak things, open to her touch and are welcoming. lights in the hall, fire in the fireplace, warm and inviting. as she steps through the door, boudica's red braided hair shines in the light. blue gown, dark as midnight, with small silver stars embroidered all over, trimmed with small silver collar and cuffs. she has some small pouches at her waist, and upon her shoulder is the small grey owl. she looks around, an unfamiliar place. it's where she should be. the ritual room attracts her attention. as she enters, the owl takes flight to the rafters. energy, much old, wondrous energy. looking up, the night sky is clear and the moon is starting to to make her way across the open roof. boudica is thrilled, it's a glorious site, and then a hand on her shoulder pulls her out of her wonder

he sky. she lets her perspective shift back and forth- first, the clouds race across the face of the moon, then the moon jumps from behind the shadows of cloud banks. faster and faster, the clouds race, until finally all that is left in her field of vision is a bare wisp or two flying on the wind. as the clouds drift away, carielle becomes aware of her surroundings, particularly the hooting of an owl in the near vicinity "whooo, whoo" it calls, and in her mind, carielle hears the rest of the owl's query "who waits for you, carielle? who stands in the circle and awaits your calling? who? whoooo" carielle rises and turns her feet to the path leading to the old castle. like clouds upon the sky, her feet fly along the cold ground, and she laughs as the castle comes into view. first, she is run

ations, stretching some thousands of years. the same is true with lycanthropy, shape shifting and the darker aspects of witchcraft. lycanthropy is closely connected with the dual aspects of sex and death, as is vampirism. the lunar current which the sorcerer opens and becomes aligned with is based on the aspect of hidden desire and lustful atavisms which manifest in the spirit and form of a wolf, owl, cat and other such animal. lycanthropy can be a useful exercise and individual power points which can be used effectively on the astral plane. this book is meant as a grimoire for the balanced sorcerer. the purpose of this being to offer further guidance and present a serious form of shadow magick and sorcery which has long been kept hidden. the black art is not that of devil worship, but of

nthropy is the most dangerous path to take on magickally, as it invites the dark arms of the black eagle and thanatos. proceed with caution. when i began focusing on the archetypes and symbols of vampirism i began drawing connections to the system of shape shifting according to the nature of the vampire presented. for example, a tale of female vampires would give them the astral form of a cat, an owl or raven. many male vampires would take the astral assumption of a wolf or bat. it was said that vampires may take the form of mist or fog, this connection obviously comes from the ability to assume a mist form on the astral plane. if certain points of chi can be strengthened into a viable physical energy then one can view the astral in the form of the chosen focus. most often, this is seen in

s and energies is to transpose the abyss and awaken towards a glorious morning! vampirism is a belief system of altered thinking and new focus. it is not at all different from the beliefs of any serious magus or sorcerer who seeks to build the black walls of individual strength. the subconscious holds ever key needed to awaken these primal atavisms: the serpent, the wolf, the dragon, the bat, the owl and raven are all at our command. the new age of shamanic tribal transformation and atavistic resurgence is at hand. 20 20 the vampiric path is not necessarily a life long dedicated focus, it is night side. in other words any other personal path of magickal power and study such as thelema (2, chaos (3, voudon (4, etc. can be a primary focus of the individual. the developed path of vampiric sor

t. her essence is that of feminine strength and individual focus. the connection of lilith with the cult of vampirism has been noted by many, for through the astral plane this goddess manifests on the day side as her fleshing ground. just as with any pagan goddess or god, lilith is not entirely of dark nature, being known as a protectress of mothers and children. the sacred bird of lilith was the owl, one may 60 60 seek to invoke, or identify with the goddess lilith through the dream assumption of the owl form. such experiments should prove insightful. liliths name was suspected to have derived from the sumerian babylonian belitilli. one rather interesting connection is that one of the 17 names of lilith is actually kali. kali kali is the black destroyer as well as nurturing mother. often

TYSON DONALD SOUL FLIGHT

mired in ignorance to regain their divine birthright to dwell among the stars. witch's power of flight witchcraft is ancient in italy, and even in its pagan beginnings involved soul flight. the second-century roman writer lucius apuleius, in his novel the golden ass, described the flight of the witch pamphile, who smeared her body with a magic ointment and transformed herself into the form of an owl: and when midnight came, she led me softly into a high chamber and bid me look thorow the chink of a doore: where first i saw how shee put of all her garments, and took out of a certain coffer sundry kindes of boxes, of the which she opened one, and tempered the ointment therein with her fingers, and then rubbed her body therewith from the sole of the foot to the crowne of the head, and when s

ed the parts of her body, and behold, i perceived a plume of feathers did burgen out, her nose waxed crooked and hard, her nailes turned into clawes, and so she became an owle. then she cried and screeched like a bird of that kinde, and willing to proove her force, mooved her selfe from the ground by little and little, ti1 at last she flew quite away.lr notice that the metamorphosis from woman to owl was not effected solely by means of the ointment, but was triggered with the muttering of an incantation. this suggests that it took place in a ritual context, although apuleius does not bother to describe any other aspects of the ritual. elizabeth style, accused of witchcraft in somerset, england, in 1664, gave her version of the flying incantation to her inquisitors. after anointing her fore

tion to her inquisitors. after anointing her forehead and the insides of her wrists with a greenish, raw-smelling oil that was brought to her by a spirit, she spoke the words "thout, tout a tout, tout, throughout and about" and was carried away. to return to her house, she spoke the words "rentum, tormentum."19 in the novel of apuleius, the transformation is physical. pamphile actually becomes an owl, the better to fly through the air. this is nonsense, as it should be needless to point out. the flight of witches as owls certainly did occur, but it was an astral-not a physi- 18. apuleius, chap. xvi, 67. 19. murray, witch-cult in western europe, 101. chapter two: witches' flying ointment 23 cal-flight. we can be quite certain about this from a few eyewitness accounts of witches when they ac
