Mythical Creature of the Day – Seelie Court

Scottish folklore tells of a blessed or holy group of Fairies. Seelie Court, a community of helpful and beneficent Fairies. They are known for coming out at twilight in a long, solemn procession. They are known for exchanging gifts and favors with the humans, in-return for the help of the human. Some will even gifts of corn and bread for those who honor them.

In some books where the Seelie Court are spoken of we see differences, but those come from imagination and other mythology and culture.

I’ve never really did much research on the Seelie Court, but I have to admit from what I read about them in my Mythical Creatures Bible by Brenda Rosen, I’m going to do a bit more digging.

Witchcraft Day

Ceremonial Magic has many symbols, but Lamen, a breastplate worn on the chest supported by a ribbon, collar, or cord around the neck is the one I will be discussing today.

In Cabalistic Traditions it is used to represent the forces of Tiphareth, the central unifying Sephirah of the Tree of Life. The Abramelin system used the term differently. To them, it is a silver plate on which the Holy Guardian angel writes in letters formed of dew.

I know there are a lot of terms that many will not know in this post, but each one can be researched. My main point of this post was to show how one aspect can represent different things. These facts came from: The New Encyclopedia of the Occult by John Michael Greer, page 266. There is a black and white photo on this page as well. I could not find a photo similar to it, so I did not add one.

Where have they gone? Will they come back?

As a writer words make up my life. I express myself in the basics ways with them. What do I do if words fail me.?

Question I hope to never endure again, but know I will. There are always going to be times when words will not do a situation or object justice. As a writer, that is the most annoying thing in the world. For me at least, because it brings my entire world to a stop. Not really, but it seems like it, because it makes me flounder around like a headless person trying to escape the depths of a tavern full of deep cliffs.

When this faces me, I’m always asking what am I to do. I try things that have worked in the past, but there is no promise on what will bring the words back into line for me. Or if anything can. So, what do I do, you ask.

I wait and see what happens next and pray I am led in the right direction by the next set of words that comes to mind.

Deumus - Demon of the Day

Have you ever seen a woman wear a crown, that has four horns and four hooked strong teeth in her mouth. If you so, then you’ve seen Deumus, a devil adored under the name of Deumus. This demon is said to hold souls between her claws so she can devour them at her will.
