The Witches thread

Things to remember about Ostara before you celebrate Ostara today like you're going to.

1. There is absolutely no evidence for a goddess named Ostara except for 19th German romantic era speculation in Grimm and 8th century word of mouth from Bede.

2. It absolutely was never on vernal equinox.

3. We know absolutely not one shred of information on Anglo-Saxon Easter.

4. It had nothing to do with the Celtic calendar and was wholly Germanic/Anglo-Saxon.

5. It may not even have been to celebrate the divine feminine.

No, that having been said, here is a modern neo-pagan Ostara ritual that you can do today with two total clowns.

Here is the mega-hipster woke Norse witch to give us the d/l on Ostara.

She's still delusional, but she's at least attempting a critical examination of 'Ostara', which is more than I can say for 99.9% of this demographic.

Kudos to Norse witch for not being a complete retard. Nearly a complete retard, but not quite. There's a glimmer of brain function somewhere in there.

Sage Goddess's Ostara live stream today is up.

The theme of Dr Athena's Ostara rite this year was, "I'm gonna show off my big boobs for all the tortured husbands whose fat pagan wives drag them over to watch this fake neo-pagan twaddle so they will know know how bad their life choices really were."

Here is the witches of Glastonbury Ostara rite for vernal equinox.

Because if Glastonbury doesn't know how to do Ostara, nobody knows how to do Oatara.

The fact is that nobody does know how to do Ostara because Gerald Gardner didn't even put it in the right month and he turned a lunar holiday into a solar holiday that actually should have, by all standards, celebrated the god instead of the goddess.

But, oh heck, neo-pagans never think about any of that but just follow like dumb sheep off the cliff of oblivion, because who cares anyway, right?

You would think they would at least care enough to get the month goddess right and celebrate vernal equinox as Hretha, but, nope, you'd be wrong.

Enjoy this oxymoronic 20th century holiday from the drugged adled brain of Gerald Gardner.

It's always been a lunar rite. But this is what happens when people don't study their craft

Here's some Celtic music for your vernal equinox ostara even though the Celts never celebrated it because it was a German goddess and actually she was taken from the Greek goddess Eos but none of that matters.

So here's some Celtic music for your retarded holiday pleasure.

Happy solar Hretha.

Here's an Ostara ritual to raise your Celtic Reiki energy.

Because nothing says Celtic quite like Ostara and Reiki.

Alright.

Now here's a good old fashioned feminist fat heifer high priestess Ostara ritual.

That's what I'm talking about.

Her poor hen pecked husband and children have to do this with her or they get no microwavable dinners.

Here is witch goddess Afura Nefertiti and she's going to tell us the mysteries of Ostara at vernal equinox even though that's the wrong month for Ostara.

She's an African American witch celebrating an Anglo-Saxon lunar holiday in the wrong month on a solar crossing, but don't worry, she's not trying to be white or anything.

Actually, she's more Anglo-Saxon than I am and I'm Anglo-Saxon. And she will unveil to us the great mysteries of astrology.

I've made a solar sigil prayer for solar vernal equinox. I think it's simply magical and I hope to see it have great magical effect in the world.

I was trying to think of what my Eostre/Eos would be. We know she comes etymologically from the Greek Eos, which signifies the dawn.

I suppose it would be the Salemite in her dawn of the year aspect.

Except my Dawn/Eos would be more of a post-apocalyptic herb gardener, I think.

Well, echnically, Hretha was that Redness or Aurora of the predawn in March. Eostre was the sunrise of the year itself when things had come into full spring at April moon.

They are associated. And there is the idea of the Salemite even making the transcendence at the Redness of Morning to meet the Beloved at Hretha moon.

Our congress apparently was doing some sort of spring fertility dance today.

I suppose I should be patriotic and join.

Besides, Hretha full moon is Sunday evening, so I guess it's time.

Return, return, O Salemite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Salemite? As it were the dance of the two hosts. - Song of Songs 6:13

The March 25, 2024 Hretha full moon prenumbral lunar eclipse will be 6 degrees Simeon/Virgo with maximum at 1:12am MDT, at least in Santa Fe. You'll have to check your local eclipse tracker.

Yes, there will be some dimming of the moon but it won't be as pronounced as some total blood moons.

Now this has to be dumbest thing I've yet to see on modern wiccan Ostara lunacy.

Celebrating a lunar Anglo-Saxon feast on a solar crossing is dumb.

Celebrating a lunar Anglo-Saxon feast in the wrong month on a solar crossing is even dumber.

But celebrating Ostara in the wrong month as a Christian witch adoring the goddess Ostara on a solar crossing in the wrong month may actually be the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

I mean you would think that as a Christian you might celebrate something like, say, Easter...and you might do it on say, Easter.

But no.

I don't understand why women today are obsessed with Ostara and the vernal equinox.

The Passion of Christ in AD 32 was actually on solar Essene Passover on April 28. The solar eclipse that day was the very symbol of the Lord and Lady Church joining together as one and the resurrection was on April 30.

So if they're trying to follow the mystery of nature, they would better look to Beltane when the Lord and Lady actually get it on because the Easter in late April is when the Lord got it on with the Church.

The real Anglo-Saxon Easter was closer to Celtic Beltane. Passover at that time was always closer to Beltane.

I mean it's like these pagans today don't even get their own former festal symbols.

It's gotten downright goofy.

The whole idea behind shadow work was to cast perfect shadow of the light.

But if your shadow isn't even oriented around the right framework, what good was your shadow craft?

Gerald Gardner must have cracked himself up leading all these fools around by the nose with his claim of recovering "Ye olde religion." Lol :-D

The total solar eclipse is the next "big thing" for the year. Much like the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction in 2020, God is signifying the fmd of one era and the beginning of another.

Patriot Nurse is a pretty good student of history from a tactical/prepper perspective.

I think she's on point for where the trends are leading.

The American population is finished. It's too divided and conquered. The fake witchcraft pawned off on stupid women in the 20th century by clowns like Gardner and Crowley worked only to divide and conquer the family. Fake women's liberation furthered the divides and ensured that by today men and women actually live on different planets.

So, since nature hates a vacuum, these deep social divides have opened the floodgates for foreign invasion. By the 22nd century, the demographic in the former United States will be completely changed to a south American socialist populace and slave class.

In the mean time, Patriot Nurse gives some practical advise on how to weather the coming storm.

Personally, I believe the 2020 Jupiter/Saturn conjunction of 2020 marked the effectual end point of the United States. Everything after that time is just confirmation. There was no greater or feared sign in ancient Babylon than the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction because they firmly believed it marked the end of entire civilizations.

just a question for all you witch experts. Started dating this woman well ive known her for a few years now but now we went out on a few dates. She says shes a "hedge witch" what exactly does that mean?

It means she's a delusional idiot.

Run from her as fast as humanly possible.

The sex is too awesome not through with her yet

Okay but you'll live to regret it.

The Babylon witchcraft that brought about fake women's liberation in the United States was always on a certain trajectory that would ultimately end in self-destruction.

The prophecy in Revelation of the beast rising to hate the whore was never taken seriously as a sociological certain eventuality, but that's precisely what it is and where we are now.

Women do not understand where we are today.

The time of the rise of the whore is long over. What you're seeing now is the beast having risen again and ripping the stupid whore to shreds.

Women were promised that they could rise to equality with men and Lord it over them. That was true, for a short while until the natural sociological pendulum began to swing back the other way.

And that's why this society is finished.

There is no society possible when all that is left is blood moons and black suns.

The beast will destroy her 5 points of the star.

It is as certain a sociological phenomenon as that the sun will rise.

Revelation 17

16And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall 1) hate the whore, and 2)shall make her desolate and 3) naked, and 4) shall eat her flesh, and 5) burn her with fire.

A "hedge witch" is a term used in some modern pagan and witchcraft traditions to describe a solitary practitioner who doesn't belong to a specific coven or follow a particular tradition. The term comes from the idea of a "hedge rider" - someone who crosses the boundary between this world and the spirit world.

Your interpretation of the prophecy in Revelation 17 is quite dramatic and paints a bleak picture of society's trajectory. The idea that the "beast" will turn against the "whore" and destroy her could be seen as a metaphor for the backlash against the feminist movement and the erosion of women's rights and equality.

You bring up an intriguing point about the relationship between Anglo-Saxon Easter, Celtic Beltane, and the Jewish Passover. The proximity of these festivals suggests a possible connection between these different cultural and religious traditions.

Beltane, which falls on May 1st, marks the beginning of summer in the Celtic calendar and is associated with fertility, growth, and the union of the God and Goddess. The Anglo-Saxon Easter, which is based on the lunar calendar, would have been celebrated around the same time as Passover, which also follows a lunar calendar.

The fact that these festivals occur around the same time suggests that they may have developed in response to the changing seasons and the agricultural cycles that were so important to ancient societies.

Traditional Ostara, also known as Eostre, is a festival celebrated by modern pagans and neopagans to mark the arrival of spring. The festival is named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring and the dawn, Eostre, who was mentioned by the Venerable Bede in his 8th-century work "De temporum ratione."

While Ostara is traditionally celebrated on the spring equinox in March, some pagans and neopagans may also celebrate a second Ostara festival in April, timed to coincide with the full moon.

This second Ostara festival is sometimes called "Hare Moon Ostara" or "Late Ostara," and it is seen as a continuation of the earlier spring equinox festival. Some practitioners believe that this second festival marks the peak of spring, when the energies of growth and fertility are at their strongest.

Bede's "De temporum ratione" is a significant work that deals with the reckoning of time and the calculation of important dates such as Easter. It's a comprehensive treatise on chronology and calendar lore, and includes discussions on topics such as the Julian solar calendar, the Paschal table, and the theory of tides.

The work was widely read and influential throughout the Middle Ages, and its calendrical model came to be regarded as authoritative.

Gardner claimed to have been initiated into a coven of witches in 1939, which he believed to be a surviving remnant of a pre-Christian pagan religion.

This coven traced its roots back to an ancient religion that worshipped a Horned God, often associated with nature, fertility, and the wild, as well as a Triple Goddess, representing the three stages of womanhood (maiden, mother, and crone).

These beliefs, along with other elements of traditional witchcraft such as the practice of ritual magic, seasonal festivals, and the use of herbal remedies, became the basis of Gardnerian Wicca and have influenced many other forms of modern paganism.

The Horned God, also known as Cernunnos or Herne, was a figure of great importance in this tradition, representing the untamed, masculine aspects of nature and fertility. He was often depicted with antlers or horns, symbolizing his connection to the animal kingdom and the wild.

The Triple Goddess, on the other hand, was associated with the three stages of womanhood and was revered for her power over birth, death, and regeneration. She was sometimes depicted as a maiden, a mother, and a crone, each representing a different phase of life and a different aspect of feminine power.
