Goddess Work

The Cailleach

The Cailleach is the Celtic Goddess who rules from Hallowmas to Candlemas (Samhain to Imbolc). Her name literally means the "Veiled One" which suggest a connection to hidden realms. She is "the Old Woman of the Moors", and is considered to be the most ancient of deities.

The Cailleach is a Goddess of winter, the cold, wind, and tempests. She carries a slachdan (wand of power) which brings frost and snow wherever it strikes. She also uses Her wand to transform rain into sleet and snow.

In Scottish mythology, She is the ancient Goddess who created the landscape, fashioning the mountains to resemble Her breasts. It is said that She carried earth and stones in a basket on her back. Hills, cairns and megaliths were created from the stones which fell from Her basket. She is a Goddess of waters in the form of rivers, lakes, marshes and seas.

The Cailleach sometimes assumes the shape of maritime birds such as gulls, eagles, herons or cormorants. She may also take on the shape of deer or wild pigs.

Mountain springs were sacred to Her and She would visit them to renew her strength. The greatest of these was the Whirlpool of Coire Bhreacain (Cauldron of the Plaid) on the west coast of Scotland. The legends say that She would wash Her plaid in the whirlpool for three days. When She was done, the Plaid would be purest white and the land would be covered in snow.

The Cailleach is a Goddess of transformation and regeneration, of endings and beginnings. She is an excellent Goddess to work with at Samhain. In some traditions, Samhain is considered the New Year, when the cycles of nature begin once more. Honour Her by "sniggling the Cailleach" (making a corn dolly from the last sheaf of the crop). The corn dolly representing the Cailleach will protect your home through the cold dark months ahead.

Under patriarchy, the once wild and untamed Cailleach was transformed into an unhappy, and powerless "Old Wife". This ancient Goddess, the first born, was no longer venerated, but instead viewed as weak and powerless. Yet every year at this time, when the cold winds blow in from the seas, and the days grow shorter, the fearsome Cailleach returns. She is a force to be reckoned with, striking fear in the hearts of those who would deny Her true nature.

Ritual Work

A Ritual to Honor Becoming a Crone

Gather four candles:
White for the Maiden
Red for the Mother
Gold, Yellow or Orange for the Queen
Black or Navy Blue for the Crone.

Gather red ribbons and/or red stones to put on your altar or wherever you will perform the ritual. Anything red that you wish to put on the altar will be good, because this is to honor your times of menstruation from the past. It is also to celebrate becoming a Crone and keeping your blood inside to fuel the wisdom of your age and magick. Once you have everything together, then Cast your Circle.

You can put appropriate oils and herbs on the candles to honor the different stages of women and the goddesses that are associated with them. You may chant the poem three times. You are praising both the goddesses that have helped you, and your own self and the paths you have been on, to learn about life and attain wisdom. Remember you are becoming more of a woman, not less. You will keep your desire and gain in wisdom and joy.

Visualize yourself becoming a magical, wise person and all the lessons you have learned. If you have goddess statues, they will be appropriate for your altar. And incense, perhaps one that honors Hecate. Then thank the Goddesses and close your Circle.

The Crone Chant

From the Maiden and Mother
Then to the Queen
And now to the Crone,
Are the paths I have been.

Red, Red, garnets of fire…
O the blood stays inside,
But still strong within me
Is a woman's desire.

Bringing red ribbons
And garnets for blood
Past all monthly bleeding
And the changes of mood.

Red, Red, garnets of fire…
O the blood stays inside,
But still strong within me
Is a woman's desire.

Samhain Altar

Samhain is the last Harvest in the year, marking the end of summer and beginning of autumn. The transition times of the year, like spring and autumn, point to the cyclic nature of life itself. Samhain is celebrated at the 11th dark moon of the year. Traditionally this was the date when the young witches were initiated. There are sources for numerology that connect the number 11 to Light, in occultism the number 11 is connected to Daath ‐ the hidden Sephira in the Tree of Life.

Anyway, a new moon energy encourages us and inspires us for new beginnings and I feel that Samhain is the perfect time for a strong commitment to walk a new path in life.

Supplies needed:

Altar Cloth: cotton, dark green/black
Goddess Statues or Pictures: There are several goddesses I believe apply. It really depends on your individual experience and perception which one to choose. You can choose a goddess that belongs somehow to this season or the goddess you feel close to, or has chosen you.
Candles: 8 candles to represent the 4 moon and 4 sun festivals of the year. You can use tea lights for this evening or you can buy the bigger taper candles (you can always use them later to enrich your workings/rituals). Either you choose white for all 8 candles or a particular colour for each one is up to you, just do as you feel comfortable. Arrange these candles in a circle.
1 candle in the middle to represent yourself. Usually the colour is suggested to be golden, (orange or light brown).
Incense: 1 tsp labdanum, 1 tsp part amber, ½ tsp storax
Decoration: all the fruits of Nature and any unique items you found make a wonderful addition. Use pumpkins ‐ green, yellow, orange…, acorns, chestnuts, walnuts, leaves and rose‐hips, a special gem‐stone or a stone you found outside, a piece of wood. I once found a piece of wood that looks already petrified and has the shape of an Algiz rune, when I went at night into the woods at a cross‐road to meet the goddess Hekate.

Yule Altar

The winter solstice is the first step into the light, from the darkest night of the year. The difference may not be recognisable to us immediately but from this day on light and life are growing.

Supplies needed:

Altar Cloth: white
Goddess Statue or picture: Sunna, the Norse/Teutonic Solar Goddess. In this tradition, the sun is female (Sunna) and moon is male (Mani).
Candles: 6 red candles and 1 golden (sunny‐yellow if there is no gold available)
Incense (see recipe below)
Decoration: If you collected the cherry tree branches on the 4th then the white‐rose blossoms will make a perfect accessory, ilex/holly branches, pomegranate fruits, a golden Sun‐Mirror (to place behind the golden candle).

Incense recipe

1 tsp Sandarac
1 tsp Mastic
1 tsp Frankincense
1 tsp benzoin Siam
3 juniper berries
4 raisins
red wine
honey (forest)
1 knife‐point cinnamon

Put the raisins in some red wine and let them soak for 7 days. Grind sandarac, mastic, frankincense (Oman first choice if possible), benzoin Siam, and the juniper berries, then grin the raisins separately (press them beforehand so that they are not too wet from the wine). Now add the cinnamon and mix all ingredients well ‐ the consistency is right when you can form tiny cookies to put on the charcoal.

Sacred Sites

Ben Nevis

Ben Nevis, in the Scottish Highlands, is the tallest mountain in the British Isles. Standing at 1,346 metres (4,414 feet) above sea level, "the Ben" is an imposing figure on the landscape.

Ben Nevis was once an active volcano and one can still see the remains of the collapsed dome at its peak. A meteorological observatory was erected on the summit in 1883 and was in use until 1904, when it was abandoned. Although the site is now in ruins, the data collected a century ago provided valuable information on mountain climate which is still relevant today.

Ben Nevis is the English translation of the Gaelic "Beinn Nibheis" (beinn = mountain, nibheis = malicious or furious). An alternate translation is "Mountain of Heaven". One can easily see how this awe‐inspiring place could be thought of as the dwelling of that most revered and feared Goddess, the Cailleach.

The Cailleach is known as the "Old Woman of the Moors". From Her, all things were created, including the mountains, whose shape reflects Her own breasts. The Cailleach rules from Samhain to Imbolc, at which time She releases Bride (the Maiden aspect of the Cailleach) from Her prison at Ben Nevis.

It is from Ben Nevis that the Cailleach takes the name Nicnevin (Nic = daughter). Her titles include "Queen of the Fairies" and "Queen of the Witches". Nicnevin is usually depicted as a beautiful woman or an ancient crone. She is a Goddess of protection, peace, ghosts, magick and divination, and the onset of winter. Her symbols are pumpkins, gourds, geese and magick wands. She can transform water into stone or ice with Her wand and wears a grey cape, symbolic of the frost and ice She spreads across the land. Sadly, as with so many other powerful Goddesses, Nicnevin was vilified by patriarchy and eventually relegated to the role of Fairy or demon.

Samhain is sacred to Nicnevin and She can be called upon to grant wishes, answer petitions or assist in bringing peace to a troubled relationship. On Samhain night, Nicnevin can be found riding a storm, surrounded by Her followers. With Her wand, She transforms the lands below. Where once was lush fertility, there is now only frost and death. Her arrival is heralded by the honking of geese.

Although the home of the Cailleach appears to be all‐powerful, its fragile ecosystem is under threat by human activity. The Nevis Landscape Partnership was created to protect and enhance the environment and minimize the negative impact on the area. With loving support, the breasts of the Cailleach will continue to be imposing figures on the Scottish landscape.

OWM News

August Mini Gathering

In August, several OWM sisters gathered in a park in Northern Virginia to share in our love of Goddess and to connect face to face. We had a picnic lunch, read tarot for each other and spent time chatting and connecting. Our dear High Priestess Peace Whitehorse showed us how to use divining rods, which was absolutely fascinating! We learned how to detect auras with the rods and how to locate missing items. It was very useful and very much appreciated! Thank you, Peace!

Welcome New Students!

We are delighted to welcome each and every one of our new students. We are always happy when sisters find their way to OWM!

Meal Blessing

Great Mother Goddess,
Great Father God,
We pray blessings upon the food,

We pray blessings upon all who need.
Let no one hunger,
Let no one thirst.
So mote it be.

Halloween

Everyone is dressing up,
Strange things are being seen.
It's the season of Samhain,
That some call Halloween.

Cowans dress up like witches.
Magick is in the crisp cool air.
Now Witches can dress up, too,
And their attire draw no stare.

Lots of treats are handed out,
A few tricks are given, too.
Prayers are said for the dead
The veil is thin now, true.

It's the Witches' New Year,
A wondrous time for all!
But especially for the Goddess‐folk,
And the fairies of the Fall.

Broomstick Flying at Midnight

The moons are the color of blood tonight;
The trees in their dark green leaves are swaying,
And the scarlet lights make it perfect for flying.
Out the window, I see my Sisters waiting for me,
Perched on their broomsticks in formation.

I look in the mirror and anchor my pointed hat,
So it will stand up to the strong winds outside;
Then I run down to the kitchen to find my
Favorite riding broom, and tie on some ribbons,
The colors of our riding group.

"Come Lizzie, we're waiting!" they call out to me,
Impatient to practice our drills and perfect them
So that we can go looking for stormy weather
Afterwards. We go up high enough that the
Humans can't see us, as we practice our turns
And swoops.

Now it's time to go look for some rain and wind,
So we travel to we find some fine fierce winds
To fly into and join. What exhilaration! Feeling
The winds rush through our hair, the rain tearing
At our clothes, we laugh and even fly upside
Down and backwards! (My cat wouldn't like that)!

On the way back, we twirl around poles on our
Brooms, to practice precision and balance;
Buzz some livestock, and whirl around houses
To make the dogs bark. This is our Wednesday
Night Formation Group, and we are the pride of
Our fair city.

We are the witches of Salem‐Turnopia, and are
Famous in the Witchie Set for our broom flying…
(Unfortunately, also for some of the mischief
Our younger members get into). We went through
The drive‐in window to get burgers, but we stayed
In a formation line. Their eyes got really wide!
Hee, hee! (Cackle)…

Then we flew up to some branches in the trees
To eat our burgers and gossip, swinging our
Buckled shoes, and passing around a flask that
Briar had brought along.

But soon enough, it was time to go home. I had
To put my broom away, fix sandwich lunches for
The kids, and put on my footed pajamas. But
The mundane things of life were okay with me
Tonight…I had gone flying with my Sister witches,
And life was brighter…we had felt &squot;as one&squot; with
The spirits of the Air.

Yuletide's Here

Yuletide, Yuletide!
Yuletide's here!
Pine and lights up,
Never a fear!

Old Saint Nicholas
Comes a‐calling
Leaving boys and girls
A train, a dolly.

Yule log burning
In the hearthfire.
Holly trimmings
And festive attire!

Snow has fallen,
Icicles hang.
Merry the carolers,
Carols they sang.

Magick is seen
In sparkle on snow,
In children's smiles,
In the hearthfire's glow!

From the ash She arises
And to it She returns
Appearing, disappearing, re-appearing.

Yet there is no birth
No death
No rebirth.

The Phoenix lives always
Just in different forms
And so do we.

Neither created
Nor destroyed
Only transformed!

From the ash we arise
And to it we return
Appearing, disappearing, re-appearing
In form, perhaps,
But in Spirit, we exist always.

Music Review

It's Time Goddess Chants by Susun Weed

From the upbeat title track, to Zsuzsanna "Z" Budapest's "We all Come from the Goddess," to the awe-inspiring "In The Heart of My Womb Lies My Power" by Marie Summerwood, this 18-track album is a celebration of Goddess in all her forms and stages. I discover it during a search on CD Baby for Goddess music. It is particularly helpful to women who are menstruating, but would rather not. Maybe it's painful; maybe you don't want to have children so don't see the point; we denigrate menstruation for so many reasons. All are gently blown away like dandelion puffs in this beautiful musical moon journey.

Susun Weed herself calls the album "wise woman goddess chants, fun and folksy." I agree, with hints of jazz, traditional chanting, early renaissance music with recorder, a few well‐sung rounds perfect for a women's gathering, and even a goat song ‐ "Goatie Goat". The album notes give extensive information on credits, the recording process, and stories behind each song. I enjoy all the Goddess music in my collection. But each time I return to It's Time, I remember that truly, it is time to be the Goddess.

This album is available from CD Baby as a physical CD only: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/susunweed

CD Baby is an independent music store where up to 91% of the purchase price is paid directly to the artist. It's a great way to support the music and artists you enjoy ‐ and discover new ones!

Recipes fit for a Goddess

Rumballs

16 oz (454g) dark or semisweet chocolate chips
⅔ cup butter
1 egg
1 ¼ cup icing sugar
½ cup rum
Garnish: chocolate sprinkles, flaked coconut, icing sugar, cocoa, melted white or dark chocolate drizzle

Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon. Let cool but do not allow the mixture to harden.

Cream the butter and add it to the melted chocolate.

Blend in the egg and icing sugar.

Slowly stir in the rum.

Pour the mixture into a container with a very tight lid. Place the container in the fridge for at least 3 hours or until the mixture is solid.

Wearing vinyl or plastic gloves, take small pieces of the mixture and roll into bite size balls. The mix will be firm but become easily malleable by the warm contact of your hands. These rumballs are very rich so you won't want to make them too large.

Roll the rumballs on a plate of garnish to finish them off, or drizzle melted white or dark chocolate over them

Store in a closed container in the freezer.

Yule Lebkuchen

350 g (1½ cups) honey
250 g (1 cup) sugar
125 g (½ cup) butter
5 eggs
1 teaspoon cloves and cinnamon
1 knife point of Cardamom
1 pinch of salt and pepper
500 g (2 ¼ cups) flour
125 g (½ cup) grinded almonds
100g (⅓ cup) minced candied orange peel
200 g (¾ cup) minced candied lemon peel
one table spoon water
15 g (1 ½ Tbsp) potash

When mixing honey, sugar, butter make sure the sugar melts completely. You can heat the sugar a bit with the honey and the butter but be careful that it is has cooled down before you add the eggs.

Then mix together the flour, potash and the spices and add to the dough. Add the almonds and candied fruits and last but not least the water.

Put the dough in a muffin pan ‐ I have special muffin forms from my mother that were passed down to her from my grandma. They had been forged by my aunt's husband decades ago but the muffin pans should work.

Bake them at a pre‐heated oven 180 ‐ 200 C (375 F) for 10 ‐ 15 minutes (have a look with a tiny wooden spit or tooth pick ‐ when there is still dough gluing to it leave them in, if the pick is clean, you can take them out)

Enjoy!

Just For Fun

Weakly Terror Zodiac

This reading was done by HP Ajna DreamsAwake using that rarest of things, a costume generator that does not include the word "sexy" to describe an outfit. Despite all the goings‐on of late, it's nice to know that in some small way we are evolving as a species (although they do use the word adorable a lot, which is infantilizing, but hey, baby steps right?).

Wild Card
Ghastly Angel

From afar you appear to be pleasantly serene. But those who try to take advantage will likely face the horrible wrath that is hidden beneath your calm exterior. You are not some one‐dimensional woman, you are a witch (with a capital B)!

Aries
Superwoman

What makes a person powerful? It's not what you think. It's not about big muscles or wearing your undies on the outside of your clothes. Power comes from compassion, power comes from fighting against social injustice. The world needs more Superheroines, those who stand with the underdog against the status quo. When you feel passionately about a cause worth fighting for you are unstoppable.

Taurus
Scientist

Beauty and brains, what a great package. You are all that and a tiny bag of chips (you know the ones, those itty bitty bags with only like 3 chips in them… I mean seriously, who only ever eats like 3 potato chips?). Don't live in a world of either/or, they limit who you are and who you are meant be.

Gemini
Police Officer

It's time for a new kind of police, one that evokes feelings of trust. You can show everyone that there is always another way, free of violence or fear‐based reactions. Let's work together to make this costume obsolete…but you may want to just hold on to those handcuffs, you know, just in case.

Cancer
Vampire Hunter

Buffy's got nothing on you. But you use your empathic skills to seek out psychic vampires. When you come across someone trying to drain you of energy, then it's "ZING! KAPOW!", metaphorical stake through the heart.

Leo
Supervillain

Who roots for the villain? Secretly everyone does, although they may never admit it out loud. You can say and do things that others only dream about. You are admired and appreciated for standing by your convictions, even if they go against the norm. You are living the non‐conformist life other people are too afraid to dare. If you really want to freak people out, toss an occasional Bwahahahahaha while giving them a side‐long look then saunter away.

Virgo
Cat

You are here to be adored and cherished. Don your best clothes and your favourite jewellery. Get out there and party all night, and if you wake the neighbours, invite them to join you on your prowls. If they disapprove you can always leave a little "treat" in their garden.

Libra
Merperson

Like the sirens of old, you are an alluring presence. The unprepared may find themselves drowning in your emotional depths. Just don't expect to hook up. I mean, have you ever noticed what's below the navel of a mermaid? It's nothing but scales! But who am I to judge. There's more to intimacy then just sex…although the sex can be a whole lot of fun. (But seriously, nothing but scales)

Scorpio
Ghastly Politician

Nope… this one hits a little too close to home this season, maybe a clown? Same difference. Let's try another one. How about Space Captain? Travelling to unknown realms, encountering the strange and unusual. In other words, your typical Monday night.

Sagittarius
Construction Worker

You're great with the hands‐on work (and I'm not just talking about Reiki). You take pride in all your accomplishments. Nothing happens without hard work and you have never been one to shy away from a challenge.

Capricorn
Witch

Well duh… okay, so here's what you do. You walk around in your regular clothes and when anyone asks you who you are supposed to be you stare them in the eyes and say loud and proud "I ain't no one day a year witch, I am a 24/7 WITCH! As an alternative, you can just throw the word Space in there somewhere. If I've learned anything from Doctor Who, it's that you can make the most mundane thing sound exotic simply by attaching the word ‘space’ to it.

Aquarius
Troll

Unfortunately this word has come to have a different meaning in the age of social media. Why can't we go back to the olden days, when trolls lived under bridges acting as the gatekeepers to otherworlds. Seek out the rude folk and block their path saying "Thou shalt not pass" (…judgment, misinformation, lewd comments etc…). Yeah, you may have to toss one or two off the bridge, but I think if you persevere, you may just manage to challenge someone enough to transform their perspective.

Pisces
Grim Reaper

… Well, it's like this…, the thing about the Grim Reaper is … well… it's pretty grim. I mean, it's right there in the name isn't it? Hmmm… how's about we replace the cowl with a sombrero and the scythe with a bottle of tequila and VOILA! Death takes a Holiday! Now you're ready for el Día de Muertos.
