“O mighty Typhon…
I am he who joined you in the war with the gods
I am he who closed heaven’s double gates and put

Who stopped the seas, the streams, the river currents

Tangent, but I would also love to see more holy books. Not just books *about* witchcraft and the occult. Genuine holy books that have been channeled and consecrated.
Folks often ask "where are the books for advanced practitioners?" Well, I think writing more holy books is the answer.

As much as I love the educational, conversational, and informal podcasts that I listen to, I'm with you in that I wish there were more sermon-like options for folks looking for a deeper spiritual experience while listening.

Unique to Sicily but very similar to fairies, doñas de fuera, the Ladies from Outside, are magical female spirits that dance in the wilds of Sicily. When the witch trials came to Sicily, they targeted those who consorted with the doñas. #FolkloreThursday
