now there is a diffrence between wicca and witchcraft.u can learn to become a witch in a year and a day.then wicca takes about three years to become a wiccan.you have not one but three initiations.and the whole degree thing comes from gardner who had its roots in freemasonry
Your right not all witches are wiccan. and there are no wiccan/wicca witches at all. Witches are a life path. wicca/wiccans are a faith, a religion, if you will. And it harm none do as thou will. ect. ect. My motto is "And it harm me harm back at will."
I'm sorry...but what is so impressive about this? What was shown were objects that, while they may have ritual power, can also just be craft projects. It says or explains nothing of "Pelar" witchcraft.
What is the significance in it of death? (why all the skulls and bones, etc.
Why are so many commenting on how cool it is, and impressed they are? What a lack of respect for life and the dead. (not to say that bones necessarily represent that, just that to comment in ignorance is disrespect)
...I suggest you heed your own advice. These items are from my personal collection & my own working tools.
The video has caused a number of people to look further with interest into Cornish Pellar Witchcraft, & Witchcraft Museum, Boscastle, Cornwall (largest Witchcraft Collection in the world). You might visit it and learn a little more about more traditional tools of the 'Craft' and roots.
in my version of things i include images of Ganesha and Buddha. because they represent good power. i also include native things from here such as sweet grass,(used like a cleansing incense), for purifying ones thoughts during whatever ceremony. but im only a minor novice at all this.
Much as I welcome sincere dialogue & genuine interest in my craft, unfortunately, my personal craft does not really lend itself to a long-distance correspondence-learning course.
However, I do have a number of interested parties across the UK. Some of whom are hoping to visit Cornwall in the near future.
In particular, I welcome enquiry from would-be acolyte (over 16yrs old) living in Cornwall, UK.
Ah,... but I am a 'wicca' (Old English Launguage meaning of the word)...but not a 'wiccan'. ie. that created by Gearld & Co..post c.1954!
I try to research carefully, then source diligently, (sometimes for months) prior to creating personally my own working tools & artifacts from component parts that go to make up the whole.
Mine is a solitary practise, a type of Pellar witchcraft...in which I am occassionally assisted by male acolytes.
Witchcraft has no origin, it has always been with us. Yet like the roots of our very civilisation itself we can trace where it has come from and how it has developed over the millennia. And as with our civilisation, so too do many of our ideas about witchcraft find their most identifiable beginnings in Ancient Greece.
The birthplace of all sorceries and enchantments, that was what the writer Apuleius called the province of Thessaly in Greece.
An O.E. masc. noun meaning "male witch," curiously taken by Gerald Gardner's followers (c.1954) as an abstract noun meaning "witchcraft" and thus becoming the title of a modern pagan movement. Wicce is the Femine
awsome atmosphere......it really does quite a job at showing the more, for lack of a better word, somber, versions of the craft. cheers. what is the song in the video?
Reference one of your own videos reference items from the sea. At 0:56 / 3:18 top of screen you can just make out one of my sawfish rostrum. Used upon beach to sweep/cleanse an area prior to casting (divination) and then usually using beachcombed items (shells, stones, feathers, fish bones, seabird skulls). I use cuttlefishbone in charms. Shells in witch bottles & spirit houses. I used beachcombed rope for knot magick. Sea Bean for fertility charms.
Further to recent private enquiries following this video posting. I am a solitary practioner sometimes assisted by close friend acolytes. I associate with the Pagan God Dionysus & the cult of Antinous, in combination with my Pellar craft practise. My path is a way with a strong 'male' bias.
Although I seek no initiates, respectful enquiries will not be ignored
i agree completely.witchcraft is not the fluffy cuty thing but must be taken seriously.too many people think to dress up like a witch makes them a witch or to have read a book makes them a witch.THIS IS SOO NOT TRUE.good video bb
100% agreed. Especially with the Scots sides of things. It is a real pain in the arse for me when I find things being almost totally Irish focussed when just across the waters is a country with very rich magical history... which if you know where to look, still remains heavily etched in the land. Europe has a lot to offer on Celtic mythology and magic etc.
There is far far broader spectrum than just the constraints of formal structured orders & churches. ;-0
Wiccan has become a more widely acceptable face of witchcraft with '"do as you will, but harm etc.etc", which is fine & dandy for some, but there are other ways which are more "An eye for an eye"...so to speak :-)
Some items are old, some are antique, some are contemporary but sourced from old, some (look old, but I am a former antique restorer ;-0 ). Some are brand new I simply researched their construct & use. Some pieces I have had since a child (so that now makes them old, lol) Some have taken dedicated tracking down....and yes, some pieces in the entire collection are family.
Lol! All sorts of sources. I can relate to the "since a child" line. It is such a fabulous collection.
Question about Old cornish witch bottles. I have heard two things; 1) that they were made to ward off witches and spells and 2) that they were made *by* a witch for various reasons, a big one a form of protection or warding.
Both true?
Again thanks for posting vid and answering my questions. Appreciate it.
Both are true! I don't know who started it (I suspect the witches though) but everyone ended up doing it. The house was viewed like the body. To stop a body being posessed, precautions had to put in order. Same with the house.
I love the old ways of Witchery.

0:17 - I'm sorry, but can anyone confirm that "practised" is an English convention, or just a damned simple mis-spelling? Fail, on all accounts.

I definately agree that you should research carefully before you use a tool and such.
And sorry, I always find it tricky using the words "wicca" and "wiccan". It just sounds wierd in my grammar ^^

It seems to me that Wicca misleads many newcomers and practioners into believing that it (Wicca) is the only Witchcraft pathway. How wrong it is..
DeJaVu921 2 years ago
'Wicca' is the Old English Word for Witch (male or female).
'Wiccan' is a religion.
All Wiccan are Wicca, but NOT ALL Wicca are Wiccans
...in the same way that ALL Wicca are Pagan, but NOT ALL Pagans are Wicca.
In the same way all Catholics are christians, but not all christians are catholic...it's simple really!

Isn't WiccE the Old English word for Witch? And WiccA the religion? I think ya got that backwards mate xD lol
