Suburban Cottage Witchery | Wicca | Lady Ivy

I'm a HPS of Twilight Wicca- in Twilight Spiral Coven. While I am Wiccan, my everyday practice leans toward Cottage Craft- gardening, cooking, crafting and finding the magic in the mundane, every day. I'm also pretty genuine and honest in my posting. Craft on, my witches!

I really hate it when witches talk about which god/dess they are going to use for spellwork or ritual. Could it be possible to be more disrespectful?

One honors a goddess, one prays to a goddess, one speaks to, or listens to, or implores a goddess. One does not USE a goddess.

A goddess is not a catalyst in a spell. She is not a stone, nor an herb, nor words of power. She is power; she is the definition of power and change. One shouldn’t pluck a name out of a book and use it in spellwork, expecting a deity to show up and perform a trick. Read Her myth, understand her motives, honor her with prayer and offering. Revere her.
