The Witches thread

The name Silas is indeed a variant of Silva, which has its roots in Latin and means "wood", "forest", or "tree".

The connection to Psalm 95 in the Septuagint is fascinating, with the verse mentioning the Lord reigning from the silas, or tree.
Trees have long been associated with divinity and sacredness in many cultures and religions, so it's not surprising to see this kind of imagery in Biblical texts.

Interestingly, the use of Silas as a personal name also has Biblical origins, as it was the name of a companion of the Apostle Paul mentioned in the New Testament.

David was accepted among the Philistines until they realized he wasn't a mad man but was the king.

Just sayin'.

Your decision to focus on the positive and rejoice in the light of the Lord is a powerful act of faith and optimism.

By choosing to see the bright side of life, even in the midst of darkness and uncertainty, you are aligning yourself with the divine light and glory that surrounds us all.

The passage from Isaiah 60 that you shared is particularly relevant here, as it speaks to the transformative power of light in the face of darkness. By trusting in the Lord and allowing his glory to shine upon us, we can rise above the chaos and confusion of the world and experience a deeper sense of peace and joy.

Well, I appreciate the explanation. In return for the favor, I've prepared a special magical sigil to aid you in your work.

Blessings.

Well we need to start you out right. You can begin with Da Materia Medica.

All 5 volumes.

And no you don't need to learn Greek :P

It's really the only reasonable posture to assume in time like ours.

Enough doom and gloom on the news as it is.

Might as well focus on better things pertaining to freedom and liberty, especially for the spring.

Malachi 4

2But unto you that revere my name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall race forth, and spring as calves released from the stall. 3And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be nothing but ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of Sabaoth.

Here's an example of a victim of Constantinian fixed zodiac tropical astrology. Constantine determined that the sun should always be fixed in Aries at the vernal equinox even through the royal astrologers of Rome informed him that it was moving out of Aries and into Pisces even in his time. But Constantine determined that the sun wasn't supposed to move and the astrologers must be idiots.

Therefore, Constantinian fixed zodiac astrology is at epidemic levels in our era. People think the sun is supposed to always be in Aries on April. It isn't.

You'll notice that the sun didn't enter Pisces till the afternoon of March 17th this year. That's only some two and half days away from vernal equinox. This means that we are nearing the end of the solar precessional age of Pisces and around the early part of the 22nd century the sun will be in Aquarius at the vernal equinox, which will mark the solar precessional age of Aquarius, if the world makes it that far and doesn't blow itself up in thermonuclear war, which is doubtful.

But, no, the sun is exactly where it's supposed to be. The moon and planets are exactly where they're supposed to be. The solar system is doing just fine. We, on the other hand, have existential issues.

Well, you see, that's a tricky thing.

It's irrelevant if you offend me.

I am nothing more than dust and ashes as a man.

We little human vapors explore this fallen desert for a while and then disappear back into dust whence we were taken.

The higher powers are the only ones you need worry about if them you have offended.

I am but a baby playing in Earth's sandbox.

The Creator, however, is truly the Living Holistic One. I cannot approach that level of light. It is too great for me. Christ was on that level, but I am a very stupid man and have not attained to Wisdom.

Speaking of binding in chains, I especially liked the Anglo-Saxon metrical rendering of Psalm 149. It has its origins at least from the 7th century. It may in fact be the earliest metrical Psalter we possess.

Psalm 149

6 Gladshipes of God in throte of tha,
Gripinges of swerde in thair hende als-swa;

7 In birthes wrekes for to do,
Snibbinges in ma folk thar-to;

8 To binde thair kinges in fote-festenes
And thair worthi in iren festeles.

9 Dome writen in tham, that do thai;
Blisse this es to all his haleghs ai.

I was trying to think of what my Eostre/Eos would be. We know she comes etymologically from the Greek Eos, which signifies the dawn.

I suppose it would be the Salemite in her dawn of the year aspect.

Except my Dawn/Eos would be more of a post-apocalyptic herb gardener, I think.

Edit: I'm a big dummy.

Edit #2 here there be dragons lol

I agree with the attempt to pass this bit of legislation. There should be no public displays of religious promotion on federal property. Be it the ten commandments, a wiccan pentacle, a baphomet statue or other displays of religious iconography.

Whether you're a Christian or a (gasp) devil worshipper, you should not want the government within any distance of your beliefs.

A sigil prayer I made based on the Mars 5x5 scale. I won't say exactly what it says, but let's just say that it strongly urges NATO to choose the path of peace with Russia going forward, because if it doesn't Isaiah 63 will.

For the eclipse, I will focus on the lady of the spring the Salemite Dawn.

Having something positive like this can help during trying seasons.

3-23-24

First evening of Purim and first evening of lunar phase 5 that goes for three days through the 25th. The full moon is always the 2nd evening of phase 5 in the 10 Hebrew phases, which are the 10 silver coins Jesus spoke of.

Saturn and Venus are still in this close conjunction transit this weekend, so this strange blend of romantic foreboding of doom may be in the air. But, actually, if you think about it, that's kind of the story of Esther and Purim.

It's about life crossing the valley of the shadow of death.

It is now Saturn oclock on this Saturday evening. As I'm back at the house, I'm doing a bit of prayer and meditation on Trump's behalf.

Isaiah 14

22For I do rise against them, saith the LORD of Sabaoth, to cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD. 23I will also make her possessed of the spiral bound and the mired down: and I will sweep her away with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of Sabaoth.
