    I agree with you wholeheartedly. This deck/artwork touches the soul. I just cannot "get over it". It has a purity to it -- almost like Simeone 's Catholic artwork/holy cards. This artist was a classic holy card artist. Look him up: Simeone.

    There are orders of nuns that make and sell veils if you want to support the nuns. Covering your head during pagan rituals was common so you’re observing Catholic and pagan practices with a veil. If I’m in ordinary clothes I will put on a prayer shawl over my head that is the same as the altar cloth in lieu of vestments. This pagan practice is part of the consecration of the dedicant that happens before the ritual space and religious regalia consecration happens. Once the consecration happens the gods are invited into the ritual space.

  • @AVictorianMermaid

    I would love to support nuns, but if they reside in America, I will incur import charges. Yes, covering one's head is such an ancient practice. It is a totally different experience when one's head is covered during prayer. This is also similar to cloaking as a witch. I know that it is a totally different world when one cloaks. It is difficult to describe.

    Sister, Jesus the Christ is amongst the pantheon of the Gods but he tends to be a narcissist and demands subjugation of the dedicant.

    Sister, the Book of Shadows is intended as a pagan liturgical and catechism book. It is not an encyclopedia or diary. Your daily practice should include; “harmonizing (summoning) with the spirit within” many rituals and practices to achieve that, stirring the spirits below , and calling the spirits above. At sunrise, we summon, stir, and call up the Gods of fire. At midday we summon, stir and call up the Gods of earth. At sunset we summon, stir and call up the Gods of air. At midnight we summon, stir and call up the Gods of water. At auspicious times of the day we harmonize with the three aspects of the spirit; within, below and above.

    Per tradition when a dedicant becomes initiated they select a spirit below (dead person) to stir that spirit to be in harmony with the spirit within (summoning yourself) to aid in calling the spirits above (the Gods etc).

    Sister, you will find in forests Dryad nymphs that inhabit magical trees. Usually the surrounding trees and plants will honor the tree by leaving space for it to grow. This tree will find you if you are receptive to its energy. Circle the tree deosil always barefoot and preferably skyclad eight revolutions per Sabbat while reciting praises to the nymph. Include in your praises the gift from her to commune with the animals of the forest. Overtime, it might take years, the birds will rest on your fingers, the deer will seek your caress.
