This is provided in case I use words that are unfamiliar to the muggles who stumble in. I will add to this as I realize I need to, which could be verrrry slooooowly.

Athame:  (Pronounced “Uh THOM Ay” or ATH uh MAY”)  A ritual knife that – for the smart Witch – is also utilitarian.  By tradition, it should never have drawn blood, so many Pagans intentionally dull theirs.   An athame is used to draw a ceremonial circle around the working area to delineate where a ritual or magical act will take place.  It is used to represent male energy in a ritual.  It is also used to dig candle wax out of holders and cut cords.

Beltane:  Also MayDay.  May 1st.  One of the holy sabbat days celebrating the fertilization of the land.

“Blessed Be”:  A greeting between Pagans, short form of a blessing that goes, “Blessed be thy feet that have brought thee to these places.  Blessed be thy knees that shall kneel at the sacred altar of God.  Blessed be thy sex, without which we would not be.  Blessed be thy heart, that you might love well and without resentment.  Blessed be thy hands in service to God and Goddess.  Blessed be thy mouth, that it might speak the truth at all times.  Blessed be thy eyes, that you might see on many realms.”

Besom:  (Pronounced “beshum”)  A ceremonial broom.  Brooms have long been associated with Witches and magic and are frequently used in rituals.

Burning Times:  The time during the 15-17th centuries when many Witches and non-witches were tortured and killed for their faith.  Executions tallies are wildly estimated to be between 45,000 and 9,000,000 during that time. 

Candlemas:  Also Imbolc/Imbolg.  Feb 1st  One of the holy sabbat days celebrating the warming and awakening of the Earth.   A time of commitments.

Chants:  Rhythmic songs and words that create a particular atmosphere and raise energy.

Circle:  In addition to the usual geometric defintion, a circle is a group of Pagans working together (usually open, as in anyone can join in within reason).  It can also be the area in which they do their magical work. 

Consecrate:  To bless in the name of the God and Goddess and devote to sacred use.

Cowan:  A newcomer to The Craft.

Coven:  A group of Witches or Wiccans that works together magically.  Usually this arrangement is “closed,” as in others non-coven members do not participate.

CUSP:  “Climbing Up the Spiral Pathway.”  A spiritual path developed my me and my husband in 1997 that follows the agricultural cycle of the year to manifest long term positive goals, culminating at harvest time.  Details are here.

Dark of the Moon or New Moon:  The day when the moon is not visible in the sky, plus a day before and day after.  Usually the 28th, 1st and 2nd day of the lunar cycle.

Elementals:  Low level “critters” associated with the quarter energies.  Gnomes live in the North, Sylphs live in the East, Salamanders live in the West and Undines live in the West.  They are great energy forms to send out into the world to perform small tasks like finding things you need.

Full Moon:  The day the moon becomes full, plus a day before and day after that day.  Usually, this is the 13th, 14th and 15th day of the lunar cycle.

Higher Self:  The state of mind when a person enters into the Delta brain wave state and is receptive to other realms. 

Invoke:  To bring an unseen energy into the working circle area.

Lammas:  August 1st.  One of the holy sabbat days celebrating the beginning of the Harvest season.

Litha: The Summer Solstice.  June 21st.  One of the holy sabbat days celebrating the longest day of the year and the Sun’s greatest power.

Mabon:  The Autumn Equinox.  Sept 21st.  One of the holy sabbat days celebrating the balance of days between Summer and Winter and the second harvest.

Magical/Magickal or Magic/Magick:  Alistair Crowly, an interesting and decidedly odd person from the occult past, was the first I know of to put a “k” at the end of “magic” to differentiate it from stage, illusion magic and refer clearly to magic as the movement of energy for a specific goal.  I write it both ways and either way, I’m referring to the last definition.

“Merry Meet” or “Well Met”: A greeting between Pagans.  Short for, “Merry meet, merry part and merry meet again.”

Muggle: A person who does not consciously use magical energy and knows little of Paganism.

Pagan:  A person “of the earth” who honors nature and the energies inherent in it.  Pagans typically lived outside of the official town borders.

Pantheon:  A grouping of God and Goddess aspects specific to a geographical area or tradition.

Priest/Priestess/High Priest/High Priestess: A person who practices the Wiccan path.  “High” designates the leaders of the group.

Quarters:  Directional sections of the working circle set up to honor specific elements.  Earth is in the North, Air is in the East, Fire is in the South and Water is in the West.

Rut Now Magic:  Working to direct energy toward a change that needs to happen “rut now.”

Sabbat:  One of the holy days in the calendar year.  The eight holy days are Yule, Candlemas, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas, Mabon and Samhain.

Samhain:  Also Halloween.  October 31st.  One of the holy sabbat days celebrating the end of the Harvest year.

Spring Equinox:  Also Ostara.  March 21st.  One of the holy sabbat days celebrating the time of planting and new life.

WannaBlessedBe:  Lame, poser Wiccans.

Warlock:  An “oath-breaker.”  One who has betrayed another Witch or Wiccan.

Wicca:  A religion using earth based energies that is very ceremonial and varied in practice.  Typically, it is divided up into “trads” or “traditions” denoting the type of practice or geolography of the origin of its mythologies.  A Wiccan is a person who follows this path. Wicca was created by Gerald Gardner in the 1950’s and then propagated by Gardner, his student, Alex Sanders and Raymond Buckland.

Wicky-Wicky:  A newcomer to Wicca who is just soooo excited about their new path.

Witch:  A person who uses their own personal energies and those inherent in nature to create changes toward a specific goal.  In olden times, Witches were the healers and midwives in a village.

Yule:  Also Winter Solstice.  December 21st.  One of the holy sabbat days celebrating the return of the spark of light to the sky.

  14. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and without a
    doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which too
    few people are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I found this during my search for something concerning this.

  15. UTLH: El boleto de entrada al futuro de las finanzas descentralizadas con crecimiento garantizadoCuando los instrumentos financieros tradicionales pierden efectividad y la inflación “desgasta” los ahorros, el mundo de las criptomonedas abre nuevos horizontes para los inversores inteligentes. Pero, ¿dónde encontrar un token con valor real y no con promesas vacías? UTLH rompe los estereotipos ofreciendo soluciones listas: staking con una rentabilidad del 24% anual, financiación favorable a través de la Ayuda Financiera Universal (AFU) y una economía única basada en una emisión limitada. Esto significa que su capital no solo se conserva, sino que también crece, y cada poseedor obtiene beneficios reales en lugar de especulaciones sin sentido.1. ¿Por qué UTLH ya se considera una “revolución” en el mundo de DeFi?1.1. Emisión limitada = Escasez y aumento de precioMenos de 1 millón de monedas: a diferencia de los proyectos que pueden “imprimir” más tokens y hundir el precio, UTLH tiene una oferta estrictamente fija.Mecanismo de quema: una parte de la emisión se destruye regularmente, lo que refuerza la escasez y estimula el aumento del precio.1.2. Aplicación real en el programa AFUActivo colateral: ¿quiere obtener financiación a tasas bajas? Ponga UTLH como garantía y resuelva problemas financieros sin burocracia ni documentación adicional.Demanda garantizada: cada nuevo participante de AFU adquiere y bloquea tokens, lo que aumenta su valor.2. Staking con un 24% anual: crecer junto con el mercado2.1. Fácil y rentable2% mensual: todos los pagos están automatizados mediante contratos inteligentes, nadie puede cambiarlos ni cancelarlos.Bajo umbral de entrada: para comenzar basta con solo 1 UTLH, y ya recibirá una alta rentabilidad, inaccesible en los depósitos tradicionales.2.2. Potencial de crecimiento exponencialImagínese obteniendo intereses estables del staking mientras observa cómo el precio del token aumenta gracias a la emisión limitada y la quema. Es una doble ventaja que atrae a los inversores enfocados en una estrategia a largo plazo.3. Infraestructura confiable y comunidad fuerte3.1. Binance Smart Chain (BSC)Comisiones bajas y alta velocidad de confirmación de transacciones.Fácil integración con los principales DEX y billeteras (PancakeSwap, Trust Wallet, MetaMask).3.2. Club UTL: Apoyo y colaboraciónUn club privado de empresarios e inversores que ya cuenta con miles de miembros en todo el mundo.Acceso a informes, webinars educativos: nuevas ideas, contactos, proyectos mutuamente beneficiosos.Ecosistema gestionado: cualquier participante puede verificar y asegurarse de que la emisión esté bajo control y que las condiciones de staking sean justas.4. Principales ventajas para los inversoresAlta rentabilidad sin especulaciones: un 24% anual es una tasa estable garantizada por contratos inteligentes, no promesas de “traders milagrosos”.Garantía real: UTLH se usa para obtener préstamos favorables, lo que genera una demanda estable, resistente a las “oscilaciones” del mercado.Oferta limitada: nada fortalece tanto el precio como la reducción gradual de la emisión mientras crece la popularidad del token.Potencial a largo plazo: el programa AFU, la comunidad activa y la expansión internacional garantizan que el interés por UTLH no decaerá.5. ¿Cómo unirse a UTLH y empezar a ganar?Cree una billetera compatible con BSC (MetaMask, Trust Wallet).Compre UTLH en un exchange recomendado o a través del panel de control del club.Configure el staking: con solo unos pocos clics en la interfaz, su depósito comenzará a generar un 2% mensual.Utilice las oportunidades de AFU (si es necesario): coloque su token como garantía para obtener financiación rápida y económica sin burocracia ni restricciones bancarias.6. Conclusión: Conviértase en parte del nuevo paisaje financieroUTLH es la respuesta a los desafíos del mundo moderno, donde la inflación y los sistemas bancarios ineficaces socavan la confianza en las finanzas tradicionales. Aquí no hay palabras vacías: el token está respaldado por una emisión limitada, requiere una garantía real para préstamos favorables y genera un generoso ingreso pasivo a través del staking. Esta combinación convierte a UTLH de un “proyecto cripto” más en una herramienta financiera completa, que asegura fiabilidad y crecimiento de capital.Si busca una forma de invertir inteligentemente, obteniendo un doble beneficio (del staking y del aumento de precio), además de tener acceso a préstamos favorables en el futuro, UTLH es su opción ideal. Únase a la comunidad UTL Club y construya el futuro financiero hoy mismo.

  20. ‘I’m very impulsive’: Why this American woman moved to France at the age of 70
    ???????? ???? ?????
    She’d dreamed of living in France for years, but according to Janice Deerwester, originally from Texas, life always seemed to get in the way.

    In 2021, Janice, who has been a widow since 2012, found herself lying on her bed with the lyrics to “Is That All There Is?,” a song about dissatisfaction that was a hit for country singer Peggy Lee back in 1969, playing in her head.

    “I hated that song when it came out, but all of a sudden it came to my mind,” Janice, who was based in Georgia at the time, tells CNN Travel. “I thought, ‘Is this all there is?’ I work, come home tired. I get up. Is this it?”
    Realizing that she wanted more from life, Janice decided there and then that she would relocate to Fontainebleau — the French town she’d had her heart set on since a 2018 visit. Less than a year later, at the age of 70, she did just that.

    “I’m very impulsive so that kind of followed the rule,” she adds.

    Now happily settled in Fontainebleau, located southeast of Paris, Janice feels that she “made the best choice ever” and is incredibly grateful to be living out her fantasy.

    “I am the luckiest woman I feel that ever was,” she says. ”And why I have this, and why I was given this, I have no idea. But I’m just blessed every day that I get to live here.”

    Janice goes on to explain that she wasn’t necessarily unhappy back in Georgia, and enjoyed living on a horse ranch in the country, which she had been renting since selling her home, but was overcome with the feeling that “there’s got to be more” to life.
