Emporiblog - Chiron Retrograde

-
Hello all!! Today's post is about the Chiron Retrograde that started a few days ago. I am new to Retrogrades and don't know much about them so this is a learning experience for me and you!!

Chiron (the wounded healer) is currently in retrograde in Aries ♈ which is poetic as Aries is the God of War in Greek mythology and healing from any trauma is a war in itself. This retrograde will last until December 19th of this year and is the time to start working through any trauma you have to process, if you are ready to do so! It is perfectly ok if you're not yet ready to start your healing, these things take time and you have all the time in the world. 

Chiron is also of Greek mythology. He is the centaur son of the Titan Cronus (who took the form of a horse at the time) and the Nymph Philyra. Unlike other centaurs, Chiron was kind natured despite being abandoned by his mother soon after his birth. Through his father's lineage, he is the half sibling is Zeus. Soon after his abandonment, he was found by the God Apollo who taught him the arts of: music, lyre, archery, medicine and prophecy. Apollo's twin sister, the Goddess Artemis furthered his teachings in archery and hunting. 

Chiron is called the wounded healer because, despite being a master healer, he could not heal himself from a poisoned arrow wound. Due to this, he willingly gave up his immortality (being the son of Titan grants you immortality) causing his half brother Zeus to take pity on him. Once Chiron passed, Zeus placed him among the stars to honour him as a way of honouring him. The Geeks then identified him as the constellation Centaurus.

Healing from trauma has no time limit. Everyone is different, some people take longer to process what has happened to them meaning it takes longer for them to seek help. For some people, help comes in the form of family and friends, for others, seeking medical treatment and for some, religious/spiritual practice is how they cope. If you feel like you are ready to heal, I suggest researching which way is best for you to continue this healing. What works for others may not necessarily work for you so don't worry if it takes time to find the right way for you.

This is a time to also reflect on ancestral trauma. Not all of our ancestors had a chance to heal their trauma so they inadvertently passed it on to future generations in the hopes that one day, the trauma will be healed. Healing ancestral trauma will take a lot of preparation and time so do not undertake this if you are not fully ready.

Below is a list of crystals with healing properties:


- Clear quartz

Emporiblog - Which Witch Closed Edition - Draconic

-

Hello all!! Today we're returning to our Which Witch Closed Edition series and kicking off our Dragon series!! DISCLAIMER: This is a closed practices and cannot be practiced by everyone, including myself! I have done my best to research as much as possible but since I cannot practice this, resources are limited. Draconic Witchcraft centers around Dragons and not necessarily the ones you've seen on TV and in books. Dragons are completely separate entities and working with them isn't for the faint of heart or something that just anyone can do as Dragons are very picky and secretive when it comes to working with people. Draconic Witchcraft is a closed practice but not for the same reasons as our previous practices, it's not tied to a specific ethnicity, place of origin or bloodline; it is closed because you can only become a Draconic Witch with the following 2 requirements: - The Dragons choose you - You must be able to read energy As I stated before, Dragons ...

Earthing

(Photo Credit: Kerenza Jinks) Earthing Although many people see grounding and earthing as the same thing, I do not.  Allow me to elaborate. To me, grounding is a spiritual thing, whereas earthing is a physical one. Although, both can be practiced together. Yes, I'm confused too. I have confused myself!! So, I will try and explain what I see as the difference. Our post on grounding is here . To me, grounding is a practice of getting rid of unwanted energy, it helps me when I feel anxious, overwhelmed or am overthinking. Yes, I go outside to do this quite often, but that is not a necessary practice. I can also meditate to achieve this   Grounding meditation on YouTube . Essentially, grounding helps calm me down, whereas Earthing gives me energy. In walking barefoot on the ground, I feel that I can draw up energy from the Earth herself, and this can be enough to allow me to face a busy day with positivity. Basically, I Earth to feel more energetic, and ground to rid myself of unw...

Hello all! We're kicking off the festive season with a post on Snow Magick! We will also cover ice as well since the two go hand in hand! So, the easiest point to cover is that both snow and ice are different forms of water and can be used in water rituals and magick as a whole as well as for their own individual uses. We have several posts on the uses of water for those who want some extra reading! Snow/Ice is also associated with the following: - Winter - Death - Preservation  - Transformation As well as many deities and beings ( Krampus comes to mind) But, let us look at the uses of snow within the craft... 1 : You can use snow to make a poppet! That's right, you can make a temporary poppet in your own garden by building a snowman or several and enchanting them to protect your property. You can also make regular sized poppets, enchant them and melt them 2 : Get rid of unwanted behaviours by enchanting a snowball or placing a piece of paper into a snowball and t...
