Mythical Creature of the Week: Llamhigyn Y Dwr

Today’s creatures comes from Welsh Mythology. The Llamhigyn Y Dwr is commonly called a water leaper. This creature is a monster of ponds, swampy waters, as well as lakes. It has no limbs and a body of a fog, long lizard tail, with membrane wings similar to a bat. It is said to use it wings to leap from the water and glide and swims like a frog using its tail. Last fact the site states is that it is carnivorous.

I don’t believe I would like to run across this, but I have to say I wouldn’t have minded seeing such a creature.

You may find a sketched photo of the  creature from the site I found the information on.

This week I read more about Visualization and the importance of it. Visualization is a major concept of spellcasting. It also leads to dramatic shifts and accomplishes. Basically, it is the imagination and there are different depth at which you can reach.

Visualization uses peacefulness, a relaxed state for creation and altered states, while increasing awareness by controlled and conscious intent, contact, manifestation, and summoning.

It is said that on the day of Ragnarok these creatures will descend earth, causing destruction.

In this installment I gained an understanding of why one needed a clear conscious to cast a spell. Spells are not spoke to others, because it can cause a manifestation of thoughts, which is why you need to be clearly grounded when you cast a spell. People avoid speaking spells to avoid it being taken in a different manner than they wished.

Meditation is something we’ve all heard about. Many of us use a version each day, or when life becomes too much. But . . .

It is a very old skill that has been practice around the world among magicians, witches, wizards, and monks. The term is a Westernized term for taming the wild beast, or forefront of the mind. This talent allows one to halt and transfer the everyday emotional assaults through a positive will. Result being a tranquil mind.

So, other than having a peaceful mind what does this have to do with Witchcraft. Well, my resource says one must always become centered before a ritual. Best way to do that is become tranquil. Still confused as to this helps, well the book says:

“The process of mediation is like a stimulant that helps your center open and close freely and intentionally and more obviously than before.”

Here is a photo of a Blood Hydra. (You can find many more photos of different Hydras at: https://www.greekmythology.com/pictures/Myths/Lernaean_Hydra/ )

I’m done with the introduction of Witchcraft Theory and Practice Witchcraft Theory and Practice by Ly de Angeles. I’m working my way through section one and the first topic is titled “First Stage Technique Requirements”. There was a lot of god information, informative information, making it hard for me to decide what to share with you guys this week. So, I’ve decided to mention the one aspect I liked reading and then explain the main concept of this week’s reading.

Touch On Topic:

Before you begin section one, there is a little tid-bid from another one of Ly de Angele book The Feast of Flesh & Spirit. It is titled “Hallowed Be Thy Name” I read it and wanted to read the rest that went along with it. Might be something you guys like to check out on your own.

Discussion Topic

The Center

The Center has many names. Spirit, essence, soul, consciousness, but it is the deep part of you that seeks understanding of more than who you are, but why you are here. Activating your Center requires becoming a watcher, a purveyor of how you react and respond within a manifestation environment. Use all five sense, taste, touch, hearing, smelling, and seeing to gain your access to how you react to others as well as how they react to you. This must become second nature to you. In her book, Ly de Angeles gives an exercise of sitting aside an hour a day to become attune with your surroundings. Recognize everything that you think, do, say, and hear. Later in the day jot claim some quiet time and reflect on what you saw, heard, smelled, touched, tasted, thought about, and felt. This is called the Nemet a nonjudgmental, external consciousness.
