Hi folks!

Sorry for my absence, I have been working (though not so feverishly) on my newest manuscript…an interesting little ditty about building you own magical traditions instead of being bound by what others say or write.

Of course, all traditions were started by someone and then repeated by others, that is how things become traditions. So, what is the harm in starting your own. If you ask me that is what makes a tradition meaningful to you, changing it to make it your own or designing it to fit your spiritual needs.

For instance, some people decorate eggs for Ostara and plant them for what they would like to have manifest in the new year, some people take old shoes or old clothing and burn it to release the old and welcome in the new. Well if you don’t feel that these traditions suit your needs for banishing old and welcoming new, you could bake a cake that represents the old and put it in one of those net bird feeder socks with some seed to represent the new. Watch as the birds eat up you old woes and the seeds and then carry them away where the seeds will fall and sprout the hope you desire for the new year.

This can then be added to and repeated each year until it becomes a full-fledged tradition, which you can pass on to other family members and students if you ever decide teach anyone your ways.

All it takes to develop a viable and valuable Wiccan tradition is an understanding of the true basis for Wicca and a little creativity in thinking about how to make those theories and ethics come to life.

So until next time, happy crafting!
