Goddess Cookies

Nom nom nom nom! I do love a good cookie! I realized today that since cookies can be molded into different shapes, it would be a good idea to cut them into different shapes representing the Goddess. And hey, why not represent the God as well! I then thought it would be a good idea to have the symbols to use as "patterns" for the cutting. I wonder if anyone makes wiccan cookie cutters? Probably! Here are some symbols you may want to use for cookie cutting projects. I will post pictures if I actually get around to doing this. For now I'm just providing fun ideas to get kids and yourself creative. Why not use frosting to draw pentacles, stars, moons, or suns?

Goddess & God: What Defines Them?

I often get into a delema about this subject. I often see in correspondences and other things in Wicca that Wiccans identify certain things with the God and other things with the Goddess. For instance, We have the color gold as a symbol for God and silver for the Goddess. But why? What truly defines them? I know that the moon and Goddess are often matched together and that is why silver is the color of choice. I often find that people often define God and Goddess so specifically for correspondences to crystals, colors, and even the elements themselves. Such as the Goddess ruling over moonstone, silver, blue, and purple, and water. In my opinion sometimes charts can be counterproductive with magic. It is about how you feel about something. I know many people say that the Goddess rules over water and air. I do see that but there are also some instances where you can see her in earth and fire too. It all depends of what personally reminds you of your personal God or Goddess. Only YOU, in my opinion, can truly define what you feel represents what. Symbols can often be changed and what is important is to do what feels right for you.

Here is just an example of what I'm talking about when I say charts:

No offense to the website owner. This is the generally accepted version of what feminine and masculine represent. I personally belief that the Goddess and God can't be bottled up and generalized in a way that people agree upon. People have many different versions of God and Goddess.

I'm probably not making any sense. Feel free to correct me or add how you view the God and Goddess as a comment. Here endeth the ramble!

Lammas

It's time to break bread in honor of the God and Goddess! It's time to celebrate the first harvest of berries and fruits! What's cooking is your kitchen? Spending time in the kitchen is a great way to do magic! What are your favorite herbs and spices? I love so many of them! I especially love Cinnamon! 

Summer Solstice!

This year I had a very good Summer Solstice. I went to a great store called Circles of Wisdom and got a book there called Celebrate the Solstice by Richard Heinberg. I got a tarot card deck called Healing with the Fairies by Doreen Virtue. I also got a beautiful heart-shaped rose quartz crystal, a golden candle, and temple incense which are sparkly copper in color. I decided to use my newly purchased items to make an alter excluding the book, tarot set, and rose quartz. I of course took pictures for you all to see.
