Narcissus

 

All right, now you probably are asking: “Why is she talking about Narcissus" on a blog that related to witchcraft”?

Well, I always loved Greek Mythology, always, since I was a little girl, I was always truly fascinated with all those stories, characters, and etc., and after watching Xena and Hercules, this interest and love only got stronger.

I want to bring new things to my blog, of course I will keep posting about witchcraft and adding links and sources, but I also want to explore how far I can go, turn this blog into someone more about me, that’s why I am posting about this!

 

Narcissus, I remember well, it was one of the first stories that I read, I don’t remember well my age, but I remember the story and remembered the flower as well.

------

Narcissus or Narkissos (Greek: Νάρκισσος), possibly derived from ναρκη (narke) meaning "sleep, numbness," in Greek mythology was a hunter from the territory of Thespiae in Boeotia who was renowned for his beauty. He was the son of a river god named Cephissus and a nymph named Liriope.

He was exceptionally proud, in that he disdained those who loved him. Nemesis saw this and attracted Narcissus to a pool where he saw his own reflection in the water and fell in love with it, not realizing it was merely an image. Unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, Narcissus died.Narcissus is the origin of the term narcissism, a fixation with oneself.

Such fascinating story, of course we don’t find people who would react like Narcissus reacted, but we find many people like him nowadays, people who think they are the best and the others can’t reach their feet… I could name one of them: Paris Hilton!

The Addams Family (Love it)

 

A good memory of my childhood, as long as nightmare before Christmas.

I always, always loved goth stuff, always, and I remember watching these movies and loving it and things aren’t different now that I am an adult, not at all!

 

I will write a better review on my favorite “dark” movies, right now, unfortunately, I am with no time, but felt inspired on posting about the Addams family.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Today is such glorious day for me, and I believe that for you guys as well!

Had to post this in the first hours of Halloween, I waited the entire year for this date, so I celebrate from the first hour!

Halloween is my day, I always, always, always loved this date and this love just grows stronger every day that goes by!

I have plans spending the Halloween eating some candies that I bought, mainly Marshmallows and also watching Nightmare before Christmas (Wow, I love it so much).

It’s almost like a ritual for me: Watching Nightmare before Christmas on Halloween, it happens because it was on Halloween, that I watched this movie for he first time, so it’s really special for me, a way to remind my childhood.

I know I haven’t been posting often lately, I have been working on a new project, got a job at a Wiccan shop and am dedicating great part of my time, it’s a dream-job for me, so you guys can imagine how I am feeling about this!

Work in a place where we can find everything about the Wicca religion, I spend great part of my salary there, but the good thing is that the price is reduced for me for being “member of the team”.

I like mostly black spells, but am checking on those considered white, after all, cause harms to others all the time is senseless, I just react when I am attacked, what’s not often, so spells for peace, relaxing and etc is also good, and I am learning this.

Said who they don’t work?

I wanted to share something that I found and loved to read about Halloween.

 

Here is the source for the original article: http://festivals.iloveindia.com/halloween/spells-on-halloween.html

 

HALLOWEEN SPOOKY SPELLS:

 

Halloween is the night of supernatural and paranormal events and activities. Superstitions, spells and charms are quite popular on the night of Halloween, when spirits are believed to roam on the earth freely. Halloween magical spells are very popular among the celebrators of this centuries-old festival. In places where Halloween is celebrated in the traditional way, married women test the loyalty and truthfulness of their men through these spells. Though some of Halloween magic can be categorized as superstition, it is certainly fun to try it. Read the article to know some mysterious and magical Halloween spells. These spells may not be true but they still intrigue young minds into experimentation and give them hopes in their quest to meet their lover and/ or spouse.

Magical Spells For Halloween

Nut Spell
Irish women and girls check the loyalty and faithfulness of their lover by keeping one nut each named after the lovers and one nut of the girl's name on the bars of the grate. If a lover’s nut cracks or jumps, it means that he is unfaithful and will not be loyal to the girl. If a lover's nut burns or catches fire, it shows that he has true love or respect for the girl. If the girl's and the lover's nut burn together, it means that they will get married.

Luggies
One of the other popular spells of Halloween ceremony is known as Luggies. In this, three dishes are taken. One is empty; one contains dirty water and the last one has clean water. These dishes are arranged on the hearth. People are blindfolded and taken to the dishes. They have to dip their fingers into the dishes, one by one. Those who dip their fingers in clean water first will marry a virgin; those who dip in dirty water will marry a widow or widower, while those who find empty dish are destined to be a bachelor or a spinster.

Hemp Seed Spell
If you slip alone outside, on the midnight of Halloween and sow a handful of hemp seed saying, "Hemp seed, I sow thee, Hemp seed I sow thee; And he/ she that is my true love, come behind and harrow me", you will see your future husband or wife harrowing, when you look over your left shoulder.

Shirt Sleeve Spell
Another spell to see the face of your true lover is to wet a shirt-sleeve on Halloween night and hang it near the fire to dry. Lie still in bed and watch it closely till midnight. You will see that your future partner will appear to turn the sleeve.

Herring Spell
Another popular Halloween charm says that if you eat a salted herring on this night just before you sleep, you will be visited by your future husband or wife. He/ she will come to offer you water and quench your thirst, in your dream.
