this is my reply to the question above...
& there's more just google...
i just wanted to let you read the golden verses and then if you were interested...
most magick is the same...
whether it's candles or a full ritual with like minded people... you call quatrters, north, south, east and west (in that order),
accoring to your needs of comfort u assign - watch towers, demi-gods, or angels..
then you work your magick (the greatest magick offered to man is unconditional love!)
one draws down a "cone of power," usually planetary but i could be just a chosen set of dieties, for me, -- i use in private practice - apollo & atremis... then you can have the eucrist, thanks the dieties, dismiss - "stay or go do what ever thou wist harming none...
so mote it be..."
as well as - "as above so below & other hermetic thoughts"
there are private, secret practices and things i choose not do disclose...
with out some due consideration as to the motives of any questioner...
and out of respect to my teachers and training...
then u go on with your day...
i hope this will answer some questions...
part of conversation with bob
"yes, the wheel of the year follow patterns just like all nature... days shortner as it approaches the winter solstice & then the day light grows again after the winter solstice -21st of decmeber...
i've taught the pagan calendar, tarot, numerology and have have made it a practice to study other such things astrology for over 40 years now. "
"pagans have gotten a raw deal in our history books"
"yes! the burning time!the catholics stold our holidays, then bastardized al of our beliefs and then when we would turn to accept their "new doctrines" the killsed us off ie., st patrick of ireland..."
"unfortunately, in the world in which we live, artistic hearts are so frequently broken"
"well though boorn in libra i have major scorpio placements & 2 cancer ones...
so though i have heart, i can recoil, hid in my cave & survive well..."
"the heart is a fragile organ"
" don't offer my love easily..but love unconditionally...
that's why i can say to you & other's "please your lug..." --- meaning do what you need to to get by...
i m not that easily offended...
been out in the world to long for that..."

assumption!
i've often heard and read:
"ass - u - me"
meaning: you made an ass out you and me!
i received a message in a site:
"So you're a warlock? Shouldn't you be able to cast a spell on me and entice me over to your place for fun and games? Just being silly here... "
my response was:
"okay! weird! the word "warlock originates from an old english word - to bending the truth...
a witch is something else... (maybe from wicca to bend nature...
referring to midwife and natural healers in general...)
there is the witch rede... "in all none be harmed...
do as thou wilst! ... "
"ass - u - me"
meaning: you made an ass out you and me!
if statement mentioned below was said of one's race, gender, sexual life style or age... maybe the offense woulld have been relized by its author but religous persecution is not a joking matter, my ancestor and those of my beliefs were tortured and killed duing the burning times for being witches...

(and later thought---of the story where a young lad is brought into hospital. the father has died in an auto accident. the surgeon walks in and says; "i cannot operate on this boy because he's my son." who is the doctor? )

coloured - flames:
can be produced in the fireplace or bale fire by tainting small pieces of wood with chemical indicated below and followed with shellac mixture of alchol with sawdust then into holes bored into the log and filled with the chemical desired and brushed with alcohol and shellac mixture. irt works best with fine saw dust added here, as well...
flame - chemicals:
purple - lithium nitrate
violet - potassium nitrate
red - strontion nitrate
crimson - stronium with potassiun nitrate
orange - calcium chloride
yellow - common talbe salt
emerald - copper nitrate
apple green - barium nitrate
blue - copper sulfate
if the scent is offessive add fragrent wood chips, twigs or shaving... anything from exotic sandalwood to aromatic cheery or fruit bearing trees... a practice handed down in my family. you can now purchase them but much prefer a hands on touch. feel it's more spirituall contacting to whole yuel an dnew years experience!
i like to burn small logs near to each other in apple green, emerald and blue
and decorate my yule tree accordingly with pear shapes and partridges, ribbons of apple green, emerald and blue with baby's breath, stings of coloured and natural wooden or glass beads to match any of the following themes...
victorina - i add laces with small bibon streaming down,
edwardian - ginger bread pieces and coloured raphia,
southwesten - looks i add turquoise, coral, sand, violet,
the look of tiffnay - use pieces of my hand made hard candies in thin pieces using a small drill then put holes each irregular piece before totally hardened and hang from ribbons,
barvian look use straw, brass instrument, or plumage for ornementation,
my favorite scottish theme use tartan rosets, aron looking yarn in hand knit or crocheted doily - ornements, some porcelin or cross stiched thistle design, dried heather in white and/or violet or for a patriotic look add petitte emblem flags,
just let ur mind go wild and as u decorate contact your inner muse or cheque out historical, regional or cultural refferances of ideas.

the yule log...
came to english - speaking people from the scandivavian forebearers and pagan ceremonies. "yule" comes from "rol," a wheel that indicates the changing of seasons. (see earlier eniteris about sabbats of the year.) for many centuries fire had been the symbol of the home ("harth") and safety. not only was it warmth satisfying but served to light the home after the sun went down. when the celts and teutons commerated the return of the sun- the source of light, heat and even life it's self - fire naturally played a signifant part... the druids fullyselected a large log, perferably from a fruit - bearing tree, like apple and at other times from a long lasting one like oat. at a solem gathering they blessed and prayed over it, that it might last forever. generally a piece of the old long was kept to satrt the fire next year.
