Folktale Week
Day 01 Birth
'

, ,
' ,
Cela is born under the second moon and one of the Lunar People. They live in close touch with nature, mostly to themselves. Their souls are bound to a cycle that follows the phases of the moon.
As soon as they die, they move on to the next cycle until the last one.
Throughout their lives the souls keep memories of their past lives and remember them one by one when the time comes.
Soulmates find themselves more easily since they are bound to one another, they share their cycles, their lives and their deaths. Some rare times this bond is broken and they can’t find their counterpart in all 8 lives.
Cela doesn’t remember her first life and the other people won’t tell her why. Only something terrible would result in a memory wipe like this.
The only thing even more terrible, they say, is taking another soul for it’s life to prolong their own. These hunters lurk in the dark and seek to kill them for their lives. At full moon they are said to be strongest, mostly expendable ones are sent out during that time.
We Are One
you lust for poweryou feast on the moon albeit the moon is not yours to consume
the cycle repeats once more and you think, you can keep going
keep getting stronger
separating dark from light
don’t be as foolish as to believe that we are not one
The Weight
DTIYS by @elithien
the weight of her power was suffocating her
she could feel her ancestors watching
shadows shifting beneath her
creeping towards her
was it just the chamomile clouding her thoughts?
anyway, she had things to brew

Here’s Day 2 that I finished last night!
.
With updating some of my old art, I really can see the evolution of my style. I recommend to any artist to revisit some old pieces to see your growth!
.
My style has become a lot more bubbly, cartoony, cute and expressive. I do enjoy the original painting of this one, but it no longer truly captures who Lavender is after drawing her for so long now.
.
In this illustration, she is supposed to be studying but instead is daydreaming with excitement.
.
This Inktober I am working on a Magikats! Coloring book. I am updating some of my old favorite Magikats! illustrations (as well as create new ones!) for this inktober and I’m pretty excited about it

The religion of Wicca began in the 20th century. It has no roots in paganism, but is notably known for having been inspired by a myriad of different practices, specifically honing in on putting a modern twist on traditional practices.
It was developed in England during the first half of the 20th century and was introduced to the public in 1954 by Gerald Gardner, a retired British civil servant. Wicca draws upon a diverse set of ancient pagan and 20th-century hermetic motifs for its theological structure and ritual practices.
To understand the origins of Wicca and how it became so widespread, we need to understand the Feminist movements that inspired its growth, such as The Goddess Movement.
(Gerald Gardner)
The Goddess Movement was one of the many ways in which witchcraft would begin to separate itself from the devil and its negative associations, and “Although the belief systems and practices of modern witches vary widely from group to group, there are generally consistent qualities: a female principle is deified, equal to or greater than a male principle; body and soul are interdependent; nature is sacred; individual will is sacred and powerful; time is cyclical; sexuality, spontaneity, imagination, and play are sacred and often incorporated into ritual; and the experience of pleasure is sacred–a positive life force. Worship can be monotheistic, polytheistic, or pantheistic.” (Dumpert, 1999), This is formally known as The Goddess Movement, and is a particularly modern view on witchcraft and Wicca in relation to its reclaiming into today’s world.
This movement describes the spiritual beliefs or practices (mainly in neopaganism) that grew as a reaction to perceptions of predominant organized religion as male dominated, and makes use of goddess worship and focus on gender and femininity. It is widespread and non-centralized and the practices vary widely. The Goddess Movement is also referred to by some as being a form of cultural religiosity that is increasingly diverse, graphically widespread, eclectic and more dynamic in process.
The goddess in this context is the same goddess worshipped in Wicca, which was explained in the article, however the goddess movement is not entirely Wiccan-based, nor is it bound to any other religion worshiping a female God. Instead it is a conglomeration of multiple religions and practices of worshipping femininity and female gods with the intent of redefining religion as something that is not male dominated.
Some, such as dianic-wiccans, exclusively worship female deities while others do not. It is shown that “In some parts of Europe, women believed that they participated in nighttime spiritual journeys led by the goddess Diana or by other supernatural female figures. These nighttime spiritual assemblies would dance, feast, and occasionally enter the homes of neighbors, rewarding the hospitable and punishing the slovenly. The wild ride with Diana was a form of folk belief in the “wild hunt,” a troop of spirits led by a female or male deity that rode out at night, striking terror in those who encountered it. During the Middle Ages, the Christian view of these beliefs changed. Early in the period they were seen as merely superstitious and mistaken, but towards the tenth and eleventh centuries they began to be considered heretical. The Canon Episcopi, a legal document of the Frankish kingdom issued about 900 CE, condemns “wicked women… who believe that they ride out at night on beasts with Diana, the pagan goddess.…Such fantasies are thrust into the minds of faithless people not by God but by the Devil.” Gradually, the folk concept of the wild hunt, with its feasting, music, and dancing, was transformed into the diabolical sabbat, a nocturnal assembly of witches under the direction of the devil where horrible acts took place.” (Russell, 2005).
Belief systems range from monotheistic to polytheistic to pantheistic, encompassing a range of theological variety similar to that in the broader neopagan community. Wicca has huge impacts on witchcraft because witchcraft directly derives many of the topics, ideas, and even practices of wicca despite not being religiously tied down to anything. Today, there are witches of many religions who still come together to worship and celebrate wiccan holidays as a part of their craft

Baptism is the ceremony where parents and a priest bless a baby in the name of the Christian God and signifies that the child will be brought up Christian.
Wiccaning, also known as paganing and saining, on the other hand is what happens when a baby is blessed with protection, health, and happiness. There is no obligation or strings attached that bind you to any one religion or practice, and wiccaning can be adapted to any religion.
“The Wiccaning is a magickal ceremony for the parents to seek wisdom and guidance, and set their own intentions as they responsibly guide their child in understanding of our world.“ - Michelle
This ceremony is done like so:
- Create a traditional altar, adding items such as a special garment and a special amulet for the child to wear that will grant them protection throughout life. Other than that, add the basics such as tributes to each element, gods and ancestors, and whatever tools you may use to create your sacred space
- Create a sort of a temple by casting a circle around the altar. This is around when you would light the candles and incense and whatever else
- Next, the parents of the child will carry it to the altar while any attending guests will form a circle around them
- There are certain words that should be said here, but it largely varies per group and intent, so just do your research and practice a script beforehand
- Finish the ceremony by closing the circle however it is traditionally closed
There is a separate wiccan ceremony of induction called an initiation, and it requires having been studying for a year and a day after declaring ones dedication to the craft. After the initiation, there is more study and practice required of course, but the initiation is a proclaiming to anything and everything that you are a regularly practicing witch.
Wiccanings may also be merged with naming ceremonies, in which the only change would be in the words the parents speak. In this, they will do the ceremony specifically on the tenth day after the baby’s birth.

Crafted this very special once off custom ritual cauldron candle for the lovely @happie_hannah special celestial wedding ✨ her theme was black, white, green and gold. I interweaved her theme throughout this custom ritual cauldron candle, choosing a jasmine and ivy scent (jasmine being a flower associated with love and ivy for masculine energy) infused with herbs for love, manifestation, protection and success and chose Rose Quartz for unconditional love paired with Pyrite for manifestation, success and masculine energy, finally using high vibrational columbian singing Quartz for amplification to seal it all together. I’m so honoured to have crafted this and to be asked for such a beautiful task for your special day. Packing and sending this off ASAP ✨

Happy Full Moon in Cancer Witches ♋️ This Full Moon is ruled by Cancer in astrology oversees intuition, security and our feelings. Given that Cancers are best known for being innately nurturing, sensitive, and spending time in their emotions, this full moon could be particularly intense as you grapple with what’s in your heart This moon asks you to not only get real with yourself about how you feel but also to be open to ending bonds, patterns, or behaviors that are only working against your sense of centeredness. And because Pluto spurs obsessive thoughts and power struggles, you could encounter those along the way to transformation.

Shop update: I mentioned this in our stories but thought I’d post properly here. There is currently a 5 business day delay on orders being shipped out, this is due to me taking this week off as I currently am unwell. As you know, I run Unicorn Manor all by myself, so unfortunately need to put my health first and recover. Thanks so much for your understanding and patience

This year has been hard for everyone but I hope that my magick and creations have brought some light, healing and positivity into the world. My name is Emi #artvsartist2021 and I’m the one woman witch behind Unicorn Manor ✨ 2022 will be our 7th year (wow) and honestly I wouldn’t be able to do what I do with you. So from the bottom of my heart thank you, I’m constantly filled with gratitude and love for the support, love and messages I get - the changes I can see, my ritual candles are imbued with my 17 years of the Craft, they are tools for you to channel and utilise and ultimately show you that your magick is within to access. Some of my favourite creations have been customised ritual candles, The Hermit (my cap stellium lives for this Earth candle), our Aphrodite and Baba Yaga cauldron candles. Hoping you all have a safe, abundant and happy new year ✨

Apart from the new/full moon and the Sabbats, I haven’t posted a tarot/oracle spread for a while.
I thought I’d share a spread I use in my own practice and find really helpful.
What other tarot/oracle spreads would you like me to post about in the future?
Lindsay
