Demon of the week: Batibat
Have any of you heard of a female nightmare demon? I hadn’t until I began
searching for a demon of the week. The Batibat causes death during sleep. Paints
a different picture about needing eight of sleep a night.

Mythical Creature of the Week: Manticore
Manticore, a creature similar to the Egyptian sphinx that
comes from the Persian mythical creatures. The manticore has a human head,
three rows of sharp teeth, and can have bat-like wings. Of course, there are
aspects, but they vary from story to story. One of those aspects mentions it
being able to shoot venomous spines that either paralyze or kills. When it attacks
it devours its prey, taking everything, even clothes and bones.

Wheel of the Year
Wicca has celebration times like any other religion. That is
what I am sharing with you today.
Take a moment and picture an eight-pointed star, like the
ones you see on Christmas Trees. Each point of this star represents a holiday. I’m
going to name each holiday that labels each start, working from the norther
point, clockwise.
Yule
Imbok
Ostara
Beltane
Midsummer
Laughnasadh
Mabon
Samhain
If you liked to see an image you can visit the site I
gathered this information from. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_of_the_Year
My plan is to take each one of these and dive a little
deeper into them over the next eight weeks.

Mythical Creature of the Week: Drac
There are two dragons referred to as Drac. One comes from
Catalan and the other one from France.
Catalan states that Drac bears a bull or lion face. This
version of Drac is like most dragons, a lizard or serpent style with two legs.
Some of the time they have two wings. Catalan dragons are fire breathers and
the fire is all-consuming. They also emit a fetid odor that rots away whatever
it touches.

Mythical Creature – Tarsaque
Do you prefer the calm and quit mythical creature or the
ones who reek havoc among people? If you prefer the latter then you will love
to know more about the Tarsaque.
Tarsaque was a gruesome beast covered with large, iron-like
scales with a lion head, six short legs, spikes along his back, and a scorpion’s
tail. This describes the Tarasque, who is said to be the child of Leviathan, a
sea monster. The Tarsque had the skill of shooting fire and using his whip
like, poisonous tail to destroy buildings.

4th of July
Today there is no post about mythical creatures. This post
is dedicated to those who risk their lives to give us the freedoms we have.
This day of celebration is one that has been made about wonderous shows of
fireworks. Time around the pool, drinking, cooking out, and many more ways of
honoring the freedoms that some of us forget so often.
That is why I want to take today to thank those who serve
our country and defend our rights. To all those around the world and those
family members of mine that have devoted their lives to serving our country.

Astrology Signs
Found this photo the other day and thought it was neat. I’d
forgotten how much astrology played into the Wicca/Witchcraft world. This
little photo reminded me. Not to mention it was neat to find out what type of
witch related to each sign.
What type of Witch were you?
I am a Divination Witch.
