Magic February

Full Moon in leo + Eclipse & Comet

Greetings to all my witches and sorcerers who follow me, we are starting the Second Month of 2017 and is a month charged with very good vibes, and why shouldn't it? We are facing a month full of powerful moons, comets and a pair of eclipses that come to charge of energy the atmosphere and all of us.

First let's briefly review some history to enter properly into this magical process and be able to understand it. During the "Age of Myths" in Old Europe, more specifically in Ancient Rome, the "Februas", a series of purification festivals based on cleanliness to celebrate the arrival of spring and fluvial time, were organized and celebrated annually. The feasts were so called because of the ancient Etruscan where the word for "February" was used to refer to "water to clean".

The ancient Romans assigned a different deity to each month, and assigned to this month a properly Etruscan God who received the name of Februus, a male deity of the dead and purification. This divinity came to be worshiped decades later by the Etruscans who lived on the outskirts of Rome in the form of "Febris", the Goddess of fever and malaria , who not only produced it but also prevented and healed it, her worship was such that three great temples were built in her name.

These feasts (the Februas) became part of the "Lupercales," a series of continuous ceremonial feasts dedicated to the Faun God and the She-wolf who, in the old myth, nursed Romulus and Remus, the sons of the God of War and founders of Rome. These feasts were celebrated with a purpose of fecundity and purification of the city, where men and women found parners and procreated after a ritual officiated by a local priest who immolated a young goat in honor to the pagan Gods, in order to attract strong and healthy offspring. It is no coincidence that Valentine's Day is celebrated every February 14, because the Lupercales and Februas were celebrated on the 15th day of the same month, which later became known as "Februarius ", Thus giving passage after the month of" February ".

This Month is especially dedicated to love, fecundity and purification, it is also the first month after the beginning of all annual cycles, we have left behind the celebration of the New Year, Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year, and we have recently received the first new moon of this year, this is definitely the perfect month to start new projects and undertake new paths, start courses and academic careers.

A Month Full of Good Vibes

February (or Februarius) is a magnificently charged month, we recently received the lunar new year and we are waiting for two magical eclipses, the penumbral eclipse of the moon and the annular eclipse of Sun, Oh and let's not forget that tiny detail that does not surprise us, the comet 45P/Honda will be located in the constellation of Hercules and will be visible to the naked eye, so it is my witches and wizards, experts and novices alike, we have a giant comet, an astrological and Magical event of those that come charged with a lot of vibes to channel. It is time to anoint ourcandles with our best oils, cleanse the house (a little local Feng Shui is never too much), clean the mirrors with Artemis and prepare out Best amulets, as a magical night is around the corner and if you have desires on the way, this is the time to ask for them.

The comet in question, the 45P/Honda, which for lack of a less epic name we will call "Magic February" (or at least I will), is on the way, will pass the point closest to Earth on February 11, ehen it may be visible with special binoculars and even presumed we will be able to spot it with the naked eye, as long as we are far from excessive light pollution and properly positioned in the constellation of Hercules, the protective warrior of humanity. Our Magic February will appear far away during the most convenient night of the month, as it falls just one night after the full moon in Leo. There will be no better time this weekend (February 10 and 11) to carry out those spells, potions, rituals and amulets that increase our character, our physical energy and our power over others.

Lunar Eclipse in Leo

The moon in Leo is a characteristically competitive and successful moon, perfect for those who seek to grow in the business world, especially for those who are linked to the world of art and entertainment. This is the perfect lunation to help raise funds and support all kinds of social and charitable works. Although the moon in Leo is also known to increase tendencies to drama, arrogance and vanity, it is also the moon that influences the generosity, warmth and creativity of people. This moon promises us a good dose of business creativity that will remain for several days.

The full moon usually gives us its strength, charisma and good vibes to follow, vibrations that usually go away in the later days due to the waning moon, but the full moon in oil is usually one of the most powerful, without leaving In oblivion a very important type, it is a penumbral eclipse, a perfect omen for all those who start business projects this year, a phase that augurs good news and contacts that arrive at the door in a very good faith, it is time to put to rest the vices that rob us of time and dedicate 100% to the wonderful task of creating, organizing and undertaking.

What do you celebrate on February 9th?

What do you celebrate on February 9th?

I do not know what you are celebrating that day, but that day I am in mourning for one of the greatest men that has walked on the earth, not to mention also that he has been the most noble and brave man of all time.

February 9: Eyvind Kinnrifa Day

Eyvind Kinnrifa was a viking chieftain of Trondheim, Norway in the tenth century. He was a pagan devotee and protagonist of one of the most sordid events related to forced conversion to Christianity headed by King Olaf Tryggvason.

Knowing the precedents of the royal visit to various provinces, two merchants called Hauk and Sigurd, they warned Eyvind to be careful with the king because they knew his pagan devotion and they had had problems for that in a previous encounter of which (for the moment) they had saved themselves. Eyvind went to visit Hårek av Tjøtta for advice that received him well and listened to his fears; but in the area were already the men of King Olaf who were watching Hårek and took Eyvind prisoner, taking him to the presence of the king in his ship that was in Nidaros because he was heading north in an expedition to solve the pagan dissidence in the zone .

After a short conversation, the king first petitioned Eyvind for his voluntary conversion and accepted the baptism, Eyvind refused. The king then offered gifts and proposed a fief, but Eyvind continued to reject the offer. Finally the king threatened him with death, but Eyvind did not yield. Olaf then ordered his men to place a grill full of burning coals on the viking's belly.

With tears of pain, Eyvind said to pull away   the grill with embers because he had to say something before he died.
The king thought that he would accept the conversion and asked if he accepted Christ, but Eyvind replied:

"No, I can not receive baptism even if I wish. My father and mother had no children before asking for help from the Finnish sorcerers. The last one told them that they would have a child, but they had to swear that their son would serve Odin and Thor until he died. And that is how I was born and consegrated to Odin, and as soon as I was able to swear vows of my own, I renewed his oath. I have become a mighty leader. Now, so many times I have dedicated myself to Odin that I can not now, nor will I disappoint him."

And with those words expired the one who had been one of the great sorcerers of the north.

Every February 9th, mourning for the great pagan martyr is celebrated.

A Church on Pagan soil and its History

THE LIFE OF SAINT OLAF AND HIS CHURCH IN NORWAY

St. Olaf of Norway, a Saint erected in Innocent Blood

Year 995 A.D. Is born in Ringerike, Norway Olaf II (Óláfr Haraldsson) of Viking origin. At the age of 11 the young pagan Olaf begins to be part of the expeditions and looting of nearby towns between the Baltic States and the British Isles, even getting to participate In the sacking of Canterbury in 1011.

After spending the next 2 decades traveling between Spain, France and Norway looting and venturing into new territories, Olaf makes the decision to be Ruler of Norway, trying to achieve it on two occasions that only result in his flight from combat. During a period of rest in Normandy (France) Olaf, blinded by the fortunes of Christian kings and popes, decides to convert to Christianity, leaving behind the old customs of his family and his people, even being baptized and naming his son Magnus in Honor to Charlemagne, because of his fascination with the stories of the new world.

Olaf happens to be recognized by the Christian authorities like the new great king of Norway, will take advantage of its condition of influential figure to obtain the conversion to the Christianity in the Country, Olaf participates openly in the battles of Svolder, Nesjar, Viken, Agder and Trondelag . Strongly supported by the Church and the kings of the West, Olaf becomes King of all Norway, tries to wed (due to a diplomatic agreement) to the princess Ingegerd Olofsdotter of Sweden, although this does not materialize, finally marrying with Ingegerd's sister, Princess Astrid.

As the recognized leader of Norway, Olaf goes on to proclaim the "law of Christ," a law consisting of compulsory baptism for all Norwegian families and each of their members as well as "passing visitors" as merchants and artisans arriving from other countries. Under the "law of Christ" the immediate death penalty is promoted and without the right to negotiate, and even the mutilation of members is established for the younger children of pagans who decide to not convert to Christianity.

According to the Church, Olaf prohibited in Norway polygamy, rape, abduction of women and abandonment of newborns, which in fact were by law to be baptized and delivered to the church immediately. The dead were to be buried in holy ground next to the churches and not in stone compartments in the woods as was the case in pagan traditions. It was also decided to deny burial under any religion to all those individuals considered criminals, traitors, murderers, suicides, pagans and others. In order to enforce his laws, King Olaf brought four bishops from England and allocated a large part of the taxes to the construction of ostentatious churches throughout the Norwegian territory even though at that time it was one of the countries where more people died of hunger daily.

On July 29, 1030, Olaf dies in the battle of Stiklestad, his body was buried next to a nearby river and the following year he is exhumed and transferred to the interior of a chapel erected in his name to be canonized and considered Olaf, the Patron Saint of Norway.

The Church of San Olaf
A Church built on consecrated pagan soil

The Church of St. Olaf in Estonia was built between the 11th and 12th centuries in the center of the Scandinavian community of the old city of Tallinn even before Denmark conquered the city in 1219. Tallinn as much of pre-Christianity Europe Was a pagan territory consecrated to the tradition of forest and nature deities, in fact just where the great Church of San Olaf stands today was a thick forest that was a place of concealment for the pagans during the rebellions against the imposition of Christianity.

The Church that was built in this territory has never lasted in its religious tradition, initially forming part of the "Western tradition of united Christianity" (now the Roman Catholic Church), after the time of reform, the Church becomes Lutheran, during the Soviet Occupation became a point of surveillance of the KGB where in addition it is believed that they tortured spies and "curious". From 1950 the Church is occupied by the Baptist congregation of Tallinn.

The church is considered by many Pagans and Neopagans as a place consecrated to the Old religion that even today, being occupied by the Christian Church refuses to accept the presence of the same in that place. For those who believe that "lightning never falls twice in one place", the Church of San Olaf has been struck by lightning not one or two but a total of ten times and has been completely burned on at least three occasions Different in the last centuries without mentioning that it has suffered from multiple "controlled fires" in its interior of unknown origin more than a dozen times.

There is also a legend about the construction of this building; The citizens of Tallinn wanted to build the tallest church in the world, but there being a curse that would ensure the death of the one who finished building, so no one was willing to do the work. One day a stranger appeared and asked for a large sum of money to do so. When the city could not pay this sum, the foreigner proposed the following challenge: If they found out his name, he would forgive them the debt. For this the talineses sent a spy to his house that heard the name of Olev in a song that sang his wife. They waited for the foreigner to finish the construction and when he was putting the cross on the tower shouted from below, "Olev the cross is askew!", he got scared and fell to the ground, a toad and a snake coming out of his mouth, which denoted the Demonic possession of this man. This fact is reflected in a mural painting of one of the sides of the church.
