The Oracle

Oracle Cards are a different system of divination than the Tarot

Tarot – a Fixed system with 78 cards, card meanings are the same cross all decks.

Oracle cards change according to creator and theme
– The number of cards will vary from deck to deck

– There will be different cards with different meanings. Even if you have two themes that are the same, such as a Goddess deck, the cards will have different means from deck to deck.

Weekly Pagan Lingo

Balefire:
When people speak of being around a Balefire, lighting a Balefire, or having a Balefire at a circle what they are referring to is a fire lit for magickal purposes.

Balefires are normally rather larger than a normal sized campfire. One does hold a Balefire ritual in the outdoors due to the size and tradition.

The rituals that Balefires are traditionally seen at are rituals connected to the Sabbats of Yule, Beltane, and Midsummer. This is not to say that you cannot hold a Balefire ritual at any time, just that these are the times that they are commonly seen or referred to.

Herbs, stones, potions, rituals, elements, readings and so much more. Come follow us on a journey of what the world of nature, wonder, and magick has to offer.
