The Summer Solstice is on or about 21st of June and is also known by the modern term Litha.
In mid-June the sun is now at its highest and summer is at its peak. Midsummer has long had magical connotations, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, springs to mind with Puck and the faeries at large in the forest and up to much mischief. In opposition to the Winter Solstice, this time we have the longest day, with the shortest night. The year will now go into its waning phase. Traditionally, Bonfires and solar wheels were lit at this time of festivity to celebrate the Sun God at his most powerful. |

The Spiritual Runes, A Guide to the Ancestral Wisdom |
PDF |

Written by Harmonia Saille

ISBN: 978-1-84694-201-3
www.o-books.net Runes are a tool for personal growth and spiritual transformation. They can help you in your every day life and in your everyday decisions. When you cast the runes they will tap into your unconscious, they will talk to you, teach you and guide you. They will help you to get to know the real you, the whole you, by guiding you on a journey of self-discovery.
Harmonia Saille will take you step-by-step in learning the wise and mystical arts of the runecaster. This guide to the runes of the Elder Futhark addresses all aspects of rune philosophy.
Harmonia shows how you do not need to be actually psychic to read the runes, and explains how the runes will help you to develop your intuitive abilities. She discusses how when you become familiar with them, the runes begin to communicate with you, and you will learn how to interpret them using your intuition in combination with the symbolism. This is one book that should not be missed. It is new in its approach and full of useful information and instruction. If you don’t use the runes but simply have a passing interest; then this book is for you. If you do use the runes, and wish to improve both your knowledge and your ability to use them well, then this is very definitely the book for you. As Harmonia Saille says, “There (is) always something new to discover about them.” The runes are a secret language; a code or cipher that can be unlocked . . . and this book is the key.

Bonewits Tour Success |

The Isaac and Phaedra Bonewits Tour was a great success. Everything went well in Amsterdam and London but as we (Harmonia and Merl) attended the weekend in Germany here is what we personally thought. For us it was an enjoyable and entertaining weekend. Isaac is very witty and he and Phaedra had us all laughing loudly many times. The workshops were interesting and informative and I'm sure everyone found something of interest to them. Their advice on ritual was extremely helpful and their thoughts on energy and magic for us were soundly logical. We will be buying their latest book Real Energy as soon as possible. As well as the workshops, the ritual was a pleasure to attend and the rune divination (cast by Harmonia as the seeress) illustrated the togetherness of the the Germany group, and indeed everyone seemed to get on very well. The invocations by the other volunteers were remarkable. The evening was highlighted by the Bardic get together with everyone contributing to the entertainment with song, dance, stories and jokes. A very big thank you to Isaac and Phaedra for this wonderful weekend. We are looking forward to their next tour of Europe as we will be sure to attend again. |

And a wonderful time was had by all who attended... PaGE2008 Belgium was a true success. Workshops were diverse, entertaining, interesting and informative. Harmonia's own two workshops "The Spiritual Runes" and "Walking the Faery Pathway", were well turned out and received. Harmonia and Merlin (owing to Harmonia's being restricted to English speaking workshops) found Pete Jennings' workshops to be all of the above. We learnt much, our interest was held and we were truly entertained. Unfortunately the workshop by Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone coincided with Harmonia's but their Trance Prophecy Ritual was enchanting in every sense of the word. The music was wonderful and the Trio Perdu were brilliant and had us riveted. We look forward to the next PaGE event with much anticipation. Thank you to the organisers for such a wonderful event. |

Witchdom's Top Article!  We witches love the moon because it is the perfect symbol for the cycles of nature. It gets bigger, goes away then comes back, just like the seasons. It is also an important source of natural energy, and the moon’s effects can be seen the whole world over in the tides and currents of the ocean. Many sea animals such as crabs follow a lunar tidal rhythm, in some cases even under laboratory conditions. |

A Witchdom Top Article! First, I will talk about my own Astral Travel experiences; answering the more popular questions that I am regularly asked, along the way. If you have astral travelled, then you might recognise some of the events or happenings that I have experienced. I spent many years, since I was a young child in fact, “flying” around the house. It first started when I was about five or six years old but could have been earlier. I used to regularly find myself standing at the top of the stairs, and would wonder if I could “fly” down. Even at that young age, I knew I was not in my body, and would not hurt myself. Still, it took a couple of years to pluck up the courage to launch myself off the stairs and float very happily down to the bottom. It was a wonderful feeling, and after that, I did it regularly. |

A Witchdom Top Article! There is a trend to bash so called "newbies" or those lacking knowledge by calling them “Fluffy Bunnies” or just plain old "Fluffies". Surely this is not in the true spirit of a benevolent religion, which encourages beginners and welcomes them with open arms, and which is also open-minded to other people’s beliefs. Is it actually necessary to do this or nice? Some of the accusations can be considered petty while others have a good point. In writing about this subject I admit to drawing attention to it and perhaps inadvertently to promoting it. In drawing attention to the subject, I hope that some of the accused will avoid falling into the same bad habits as it were. Whether we like it or not, the Craft has become popular. |

A Witchdom Top Article

People sometimes dismiss the science of dream analysis as too vague and imprecise. This is a mistake. In fact the analysis of dreams is a detailed, exact and precise methodology. It can be likened to a forensic scientist gathering and piecing together the facts of a case. As for the forensic scientist, it is only when detail is imprecise or missing or when incorrect information has been given that the dream analyst’s report may be inconclusive or even downright mistaken. |
