Let me introduce myself, I’m Allison also known as the Talog Witch, the Seer of Talog; please just call me Al. It is I who will guide you upon the Goddess aspect of your journey, for though you may have traveled many physical miles to be with us your true destination lies within; the true journey is an inner one of enlightenment and self discovery, so aptly likened by our ancestors to a labyrinth, and encoded within Arthurian legend as the seeking of self worth, and the quest for the Holy Grail. As your mentor I will Share with you my knowledge of the ancients, teaching and giving advice; your will find that with newfound knowledge much of life's problems will seem clearer as the Amazon within you awakens, and you come to know self empowerment. During your stay with us you will learn to make and dress a sacred altar, make ritual tools (a wand and set of witch’s runes, also a witch bottle ), prepare and celebrate the ritual of Sisterhood, and journey to find your animal totem. You will learn how to unburden the spirit of negativity and self cleanse, to dedicate and attune your tools, and you will learn to read the runes for yourself; I will also read your tarot cards for you. Above all we will enjoy sisterhood, and grow together in the Goddess. Learning experiences will take place over 3 days in Mid Wales. We will chose beautiful accommodations in or near the Brecon Beacons National Park where we can be together and grow together.

Learning - The Witch Way When learning there is one very important factor you must remember about a witch, she is a wise woman and will do whatever she does in HER own way. That is to say the way that works for her. We witches know there is no right way and no wrong way, just the one that suits and works for each individual, and provided it harms no-one all is acceptable.
Blessings Bowl. - Here is my concept of the 'Blessings Bowl'
Firstly it can be any container of any organic medium, pottery, wood, basket, metal glass, crystal etc., but it has to be one that hold meaning (wisdom, ancestry, heritage, inspiration, love) for you as an individual; in short it speaks to you that it wants to work with you. You may find it at whilst rummaging at a Car Boot Sale or Charity Shop, it may be pottery made by one of your children, or a family heirloom, it matters not. Having indentified it you need to cleans it, bless it and attune it to its purpose... which means in plain language that you take hold of it whilst you are in a sacred circle, hold it close to your heart and say. "I cleanse you of all past memories" (It is always good to say every command three times to truly focus the intent.)
The job is done, place Blessing Bowl on your altar and start to fill, as and when.... Now every time you cast a circle and spend a moment at your altar take a few minutes to 'remember' the Blessing Bowl. Say a few words these can be as simple: |
Witches Runes Made in accordance with the description in Patricia Crowther's book 'Lid off the cauldron Method - Remove from bag, place in hand/s shake and cast. Remove all inverted. The furthest from you is the leading rune. If all are inverted then you are not supposed to know at this time accept and wait awhile. The Sun - The rune of success, positive outcome denoting progress and personal enrichment in life, it is read as YES if your question was that simple; it acts like the outcome when it is the leading rune. The MOON - Represents the moon phases, change is expected within the next 28 days, a feminine stone answering questions re menses or pregnancy. The run is a messenger that big changes are coming whether pos. or neg. depends on the runes closest to it. The RINGS - The rune of love, when it is the leading stone it is a positive answer to a question. It can mean engagement, marriage, renewed or new relationship Also a reminder to refresh the old and find a new approach to a partnership. CROSSED SPEARS - This signals arguments, negativity and strife, however it is similar to the Tower' tarot, if near a positive rune it could menn an end of a quarrel, it is lies with the rings it is the healing and/ or renewal of a relationship. If in the military forces it could mean promotion, if ill it means a speedy recovery. The WAVE - This is to do with people around you, friends, family, workmates; their influences on you. See what it lies nearest for more info. Also it means the sea, indicatiing travel abroad if the sun is near by, a jouney for someone close to if the moon is near by, a holiday or holiday romance if the rings are near. The BIRDS - Tis means messages, unexpected news that may alter your life completely, particularly if this rune leads. Generally postive but those around give further insight. It can mean news, letters, documents about someone/something not heard of for a long time, reminders from the past and inheritance etc. EAR of CORN - This means harvest, success, abundance, it is lucky and means a postivive outcome to a question, whether finance, friendship, business, partnership, spirituality etc. With the rings it means prosperous marriage, with sun fast progress or success in chosen career, with the wave success abroad. The BLACK RUNE - Tis is the rune of difficulty, negative influences rule for a while, losses and experiences will eventually lead to positivity they are but learning starges within life, Look to the nearest runes to shed further light. If the nearest stone is possitive then the event though negative will lead to a positive outcome... like Death in tarot.
