The Modern Deipnon - Feeding the Soul

 

The Modern Deipnon - Feeding the Soul with Rev. Sosanna Olson




Hecate’s Deipnon is a 2,500-year-old practice, but its true power lies in how we apply it today. Join me as we reframe this ancient "evening meal" into modern action through the Goldsboro Blessing Boxes. While we are discussing this today (Sunday), the Dark Moon falls this coming Wednesday. This gives us time to prepare our focus and our supplies for the transition into the new lunar month.




On this channel, we use Hecate, Thoth, and Anubis as models for our own growth. Hecate: The Guardian of the transition. Thoth: The Scribe who records the lunar cycle and our actions within it. Anubis: The Opener of the Ways who guides us through the darkness. This isn't just a ritual of "purification" (Katharmos); it’s a commitment to reducing suffering. Today, I’m packing the Blessing Box with: Food: Canned proteins and meals. Protection: Socks and gloves. Hygiene: Soap, toothpaste, and feminine products.

Celebrating Hecate on a Blue Moon

 



Celebrating Hecate on a Blue Moon

By Hecate's grace, under full moon's light,
I stand in awe of the sacred night.
Goddess of crossroads, keeper of keys,
Guide me through realms where magic frees.
Luminous orb in the starry sky,
Hecate, hear my humble cry.
With your wisdom and mystic might,
Illuminate paths hidden from sight.
Triple-formed goddess, trinity's embrace,
Grant me your guidance, a lunar grace.
Under your watchful, knowing eye,
May my magic soar and dreams draw nigh.
Hecate, Hecate, moon's eternal guide,
Walk with me through the night so wide.
In your presence, I find my power,
Blessed by this hour, this enchanted hour."
By: Rev. Renee Sosanna Olson
A "blue moon" refers to a specific phenomenon involving the appearance of an additional full moon within a particular time frame. Here are some facts about a blue moon:
Definition of a Blue Moon: A blue moon occurs when two full moons are within a calendar month. This is a relatively rare event, as the lunar cycle is about 29.5 days long, and most months only have one full moon.
Frequency: On average, a blue moon happens once every 2 to 3 years. However, the exact frequency can vary due to the irregularities in the length of months and the lunar cycle.
Amplified Magical Energy: Blue moons are often seen as times of heightened magical energy. Due to the event's rarity, they are believed to provide a powerful opportunity for spellwork, rituals, and intention-setting.
Extraordinary Manifestation: Blue moons are considered a time when intentions and manifestations are more likely to come to fruition. Magic practitioners might engage in rituals focused on abundance, success, and achieving long-term goals during this time.
Emotional Transformation: Blue moons are considered a time for healing and transformation. It's a moment to release negative emotions, let go of the past, and set intentions for personal growth and positive change.
Connection to Divine Feminine: Some magical traditions associate the moon with the divine feminine energy, and a blue moon can be seen as a particularly potent time to connect with this energy. Rituals and practices that honor the goddess or feminine aspects of spirituality might be emphasized.
Dreamwork and Divination: Blue moons are believed to enhance dreamwork and divination practices. It's thought that the veil between the spiritual and physical realms is thinner during this time, making it easier to access intuitive insights and messages from higher realms.
Enhanced Spellcasting: Many witches and practitioners of magic use blue moons for spellcasting that requires extra potency. This might involve casting spells related to protection, purification, psychic development, and enhancing one's magical abilities.
Focus on Balance: Blue moons are sometimes seen as a time to find balance within oneself and in life. It's a period to align energies, address imbalances, and work toward harmony and equilibrium.
Creation of Charms: Some magical practitioners create and charge unique charms or talismans during a blue moon. These objects are believed to carry the unique energy of the blue moon and can be used for protection, luck, or other magical purposes.
Special Rituals: Witches and covens may hold special rituals during blue moons, focusing on themes like transformation, renewal, and empowerment. These rituals often involve working with moon-related deities, elements, and symbols.
An Opportunity for Learning: Blue moons can also be seen as magical education opportunities. It's a time when witches and practitioners might study moon-related correspondences, lunar cycles, and their spiritual journeys.

Webs - A Witch's View with Sosanna

A Witch's View is my project that I started with The Sunday Stew.  With the retirement of the magazine, I decided that I would move the project here. So in honor of the Stew, I'll be posting my photos here, every Sunday.


These are a few of my favorite shots.  I took a walk around the Sanctuary and it was literally covered in webs.
