A Simple Midsummer Rite

Pošto se slavi midsummer night/day evo vam jednostavan ritual, i sretan vam praznik, dobro nam došlo ljeto!

Preperation
First, chose a place where you feel at home and won't be disturbed. Each participant should bring some food and drink, plus things like candles, incense, any ritual tools you want to use, etc. Traditionally, you should have some earth, or stone, for the North, incense for the East, a candle or small fire of twigs in a little pot for the South, and a bowl of water for the East.

Casting the Circle
Then, cast your circle. Invoke each of the quarters, North, East, South and West, all the while visualising the circle forming about you, creating a little bit of "sacred space" for you to work in.

Calling to the God and Goddess
Once the circle is complete, call to the God and Goddess to come and join you.

Celebrating Midsummer
At this point, you've done the "basics", you've created your circle, and invoked the powers and gods, now you need to celebrate the actual festival itself. You are at the very top of the wheel of the year, with the season's harvest growing all arround and all the trees in full leaf. Breathe deeply of the scent laden air, feel the life and power of nature all about you. Give honour and thanks to the God and Goddess for their bounty, and for the joy of living in these sacred islands. Remember the countless generations of magical people who have lived here before us, and remember also the centuries of persecution inflicted by the greedy and the corupt. Finaly remember and celebrate the freedom we have in our modern age to once again follow the way of the circle now the religious dogma of previous centuries has been swept into the past. Sit by the fire, drink deep and eat well, and celebrate the joys of being alive!

Opening the Circle
As this is primarily a time of pure celebration, you can leave your greater circle cast through the night, but with it's borders open for free passage to all. Thus you can share your celebration with the God, Goddess and the elemental powers, and enjoy a truly magical night.

On through the night!
Continue your celebration through the brief darkness, coming and going as you feel is right. Towards dawn, gather in a place from which you can watch the eastern horizon, and watch and think on the wonder of nature as the midsummer sun rises above the rim of the earth.

The ancient way
As at Beltaine, if you are a couple or group, and all of you are happy about the idea, you can even do as out ancestors did and make love in the forest - though make sure you have privacy for this, and that all participants are freely willing. Those who mis-use pagan belief for their own gratificatuion will come to a sticky end, as the gods have ways of looking after their own.

mitološka bića 2

Succubus
- srednjovjekovna legenda govori demonu koji poprima žensko obličje da zavede muškarce, naročite svećenike u snovima da spavaju sa njom. One crpe energiju od muškaraca kako bi se održali, što često dovodi do smrti žrtve. Po Maleus Maleficariumu (Witches' hammer) succubi (množina) su sakupljali sjeme muškaraca sa kojima su spavali koje su koristili kako bi oplodili žene. Djeca koja su tako rođena bila su osjetljivija na utjecanje demona. Ponekada bi se spajali sa incubusom spremni da oplode žene.
Succubi su najčešće imali krila, a ponekada i rogove, rep, zmijske oči i sl. Ponekada se pojavljuju kao lijepe žene u snovima na koje žrtve ne mogu prestati misliti. Ponekada se žrtve zaljube u njih, te ih one i izvan snova proganjaju dok im ne iscrpe svu energiju.
Postoje i verzije o succubusu koja šeta pustinjom na magarcu, te tjera muškarce da vode ljubav sa njom, pri čemu joj iz vagine izlaze oštrice koje rane muškarca. Ona se tada pretvara u svoj prvobitni oblik i pojede svoju žrtvu.

Inccubus
- srednjovjekovna legenda opisuje inccucusa (incubi množina) kao muškog demona koji navodi žene na spolne odnose tako im crpeći energiju. On je muška verzija succubusa.
U legendama se potomak inccubusa zove Cambion. Poznati Cambion je Mordred (iz Legende o Arthuru). Succubus spava sa muškarcima te sakuplja njihovo sjeme, pa se onda transformira u inccubusa te oplođuje žene. Djeca inccubusa i succubusa imaju natprirodne moći. Incubi se pojavljuju i u knjizi C.S.Lewisa-Narnijske kronike (u knjizi Lav, vještica i ormar), kada se nađu među čudovištima koja napadnu lava Aslana zajedno sa vješticom Jadis.

Baba Yaga (Baba Roga)
- u slavenskoj mitologiji je predstavljena kao divlja stara žena, tamna žena, gospodarica magije, takođe i šumski duh. U Češkoj i Slovačkoj je poznata pod nazivom Ježibaba. U ruskim bajkama je predstavljena kao vještica koja leti nebom I koristi malj kao kormilo brišući tragove iza sebe metlom koja je napravljena od srebrene breze. Ons živi u drvenoj kolibi koja se kreće na kokošjim nogama. Ključanica ispred vratiju je usta puna oštrih zuba, ograda je napravljena od ljudskih kostiju sa lubanjama na vrhu. U drugim pričama kuća ne pokazuje vrata sve dok se ne izgovore magične riječi: “Okreni svoja leđa šumi, svoje lice meni.”
U nekim pričama njena kuća je povezana sa tri jahača: jedan u bijelom jaše konja u bijelom oklopu, on je Dan, crveni jahač je Sunce, a crni Noć. Babu Rogu služe nevidljive sluge u kući. Ona će objasniti o jahačima, no one koji je ispituju za nevidljive sluge odmah ubija. Ponekada je predstavljana kao neprijatelj, a ponekada kao vođa. Postoje priče u kojima je pomagala ljudima, ali i u kojima je otimala djecu i jela ih. No traženje njene pomoći je opasno. U nekim verzijama Baba Roga stari svaki put kada joj netko postavi pitanje, zato je opisana kao frustrirana zla vještica. Jedina stvar koja ju može pomladiti je specijalan čaj koji se miješa od plave ruže. Heroji koji bi joj na dar donjeli plavu ružu bili su nagrađeni.

Supernature by Inkubus Sukkubus

We have found her in Supernature
In the Earth below an in the skies above
We have found her in Supernature
In all our hate and all our love
We have found her in Supernature
In both the day and the night
We have found her in Supernature
In all the darkness and all the light

SUPERNATURE
We have found her in Supernature
In the rain and in the dust
We have found her in Supernature
In all our pain and all our lust

SUPERNATURE
We have found her in Supernature
Here in life and so in death
We have found her in Supernature
In our blood and in our breath



Wytches by Inkubus Sukkubus

Come join with us in a moon tonight
And feel the circle spin
Let your spirit soar in the lunar light
As the Spiral Dance begins
Come with us speeding through the night
As fast as any bird in flight
Silhouettes against the Mother Moon
We will be there soon
When the spinning ceases you can dance no more
Kiss the silent earth
We will tell our children of the Ancient Lore
At the moment of their birth
Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Demeter Kali Inanna
