  SORCERY SUNDAY: Janus Today is Sorcery Sunday! For anyone not familiar with Sorcery Sunday, it is the day I post about a god or goddess. They can be from any culture or period in time. Today’s post is a slightly edited repost of the god Janus. The month of January was named for Janus and so it is only appropriate that we have a post about him for the first Sunday of the year. Janus is the Roman god of time. He has two faces and looks to the future and the past simultaneously. He presides over beginnings, endings, gateways, doorways, bridges, corridors, and change. He is believed to be one of the primordial gods or titans. When he is invoked, it is often done in association with another god such as Jupiter. The nature of Janus is one of the most debated topics among modern scholars, and because of that you find many different descriptions of who he was and what he represented. Well, that’s it for now! Blessed be! https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheAvidityWitch

  Hello! If you are reading this, I hope you are well! Today is Saturday, January 1, 2022, and the first Satire Saturday of 2022. For those who don’t know, Satire Saturday is the day when I share information to dispel myths about witches and witchcraft and help people to understand the origins of our modern rituals and holidays. It may also turn into a day where a share a good joke if I come across any. Have you ever wondered why we celebrate New Years Day on the first day of January every year? I have and I’m a bit of a geek when it comes to these things, so I looked it up to find out. I decided to share my findings here for anyone else who may be curious about the holiday’s origin. I may not have all the facts right, but I have done the best I could with the information that is available to me.

  SATIRE SATURDAY: Warlock This is a bit of a tricky one. When people hear the word warlock today, they are likely to think of a male witch. This isn’t quite correct. For most of history, male witches were called witches. It is perfectly fine for a man to be a witch, since the word is not gender specific. It wasn’t until the 1950’s and 60’s the word warlock became a commonly used word for a male witch. This was in no small part due to television shows like “Bewitched” and “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” who used the word and ingrained it in pop culture. However, it is important to understand that this word has a dark history. Warlock is an old English word that originally meant traitor or oath breaker. Over time this became associated with denying the Christian god and therefore being league with the devil and being a sorcerer. I have also heard this word used by a few witches to describe a person who has betrayed their coven. It just goes to show that the history of the words we use is

  THAUMATURGIST THURSDAY: Moldavite Moldavite was formed when a meteorite stuck the earth and super-heated the surrounding rock creating the green stones we know today. It is believed to have been from an event that occurred 15 million years ago in Germany. This stone is best for boosting psychic energies and summoning extraterrestrial energies. It is often used for divination because of its connection to the future. Some people use it to contact alien life. My personal observation is that moldavite has an unusual texture, and the energy feels strange. I hope you enjoyed reading. Have a great day!
