I have a question! My dog (And my beloved familiar) is in pain! crying It seems like her hip area is what hurts. Is there anything I could do for her? A healing spell or ritual that would help with the pain? Im worried about her, is there anything I can do?
Thanks, and Blessed Be! heart

@Black-Embers- Take her to the vet. It could be arthritis or hip dysplasia. A simple healing spell modified to fit your dog might help to an extent, but find out what's wrong first.
I'll be praying for her and sending healing energy her way.

Thank you for the prayers and energy! I think it worked well! My dog soon felt moderately better, and could walk up the stairs that night! I took her to the vet, and its just some arthritis due to the cold weather. heart

ok, so, for Beltaine this year, I'm celebrating with a coven that I just jonied and I'm going to be calling the Goddess Artemis to the circle, but I"m wondering, what's a good way to do that? I've been thinking of things, but I'm not entirely sure how to do it sweatdrop

I'm curious as to why you would want to call on Artemis (a virgin Goddess), on a Sabbat day that celebrates fertility and the union of the God and Goddess.

ok, yeah, good point, I hadn't entirely thought about that razz But when we were choosing which gods/goddesses we wanted to invite to the circle her name was the first that came to mind, and so, I think it's best I at least try, it just feels right wink I've just never really actually worked much with gods/goddesses, so I'm just curious what exactly I should do smile

If you are feeling called to honor her, it might be better to look up holidays and rituals associated with Artemis and go from there, rather than trying to make her fill a role in a Sabbat that is unrelated to her.

In general trying to force a God/Goddess into a role that goes against their nature, is at the very least disrespectful, and in many cases can end up having negative consequences.

I understand why someone would try Artemis during a spring and rebirth ceremony, (being the goddess of the wild and forest) however I agree with Too2sweet, in that a virgin goddess on a fertility holiday would not be the best time to call on her. In my opinion Persephone has associations with spring, and her return to her mother (Demeter) is the ancient myth associated with spring's return, Demeter also being associated with fertility would possibly be more appropriate, however if you are looking for a way to connect with Artemis, than I suggest you go where she is associated, take a walk in a forest, or stare up into the moon on a clear night. to paraphrase something someone in this guild once told me, you should have a relationship with a deity before you ask them for stuff. I hope you find this helpful

a full moon supposed to be on my bday so is there anything special about it?  

[A Little Bit of Warmth]

It turns out that my partner has the ability to see spirits, though it usually only occurs every few months. She doesn't like that she can see them. Is there any way that she can make herself unable to see them?
