very inspirational and helpful in writing this post, many Blessings dear !
Judging by the cloudy Imbolc, and ephemeral flowers that already
started blooming here ( Geraniums, Daisies , Buttercups…) winter should not last longer than what is
calendar-ly due to it J
If You compare the winter snowfalls and
spring sceneries, many will pick
up the second, while the first will be described as cold, lifeless , bland.
While this may be true from purely biological perspective, snow filled fields are magickaly valuable and
a great source much like the colorful
and vivid spring sceneries. And so is Ice. For
at the bottom line , snow is granulated ice.
So physically speaking snow is a precipitation that occurs, when
the colder air front meets the low-pressure ( atmospheric ) systems ,while
moving within or upward the system. So
the snowflakes, a frozen - water crystalline patters form and fall from the
clouds.
The very phenomenon is ever so magickal and enticing for me,
and it’s safe to say many other people in this world. Although taken for
granted, by people who are overly
“grounded” and concerned with but most pragmatic life aspects ( such as work,
money, and so on ) both snow and ice are terrible forces, that can affect life
, and do affect life on this planet greatly.
From vegetation and animal , to humans ,
we all adopt to the weather and the obstacles that it may put in front of
us.
Now which people always knew how to tap into nature, however
ferocious and threatenin’, from time to time she gets , and use what she send s
in their own advantage ? Witch people, indeed J
Living as a practitioner means
being resourceful, cunning and perceiving, grasping what nature sends our way,
and using it our benefit. So the snow
and ice, that normally inhibit and cool , can be used to inhibit or cool
something, even to make it vanish, or If need be hinder someone in particular,
diminish and delay negative things and
many other. Also attune to the spirits,
creatures and even cultures that linger, dwell and persist in snow wrapped areas, or in times of Winter. Gives us chance to attune to Creatures such
as Wendigo, Yuki – onna , Etin(s) and so on.
Spirits of Snow and Ice
Here are some spirits associated with snow and ice, either by such surroundings being their own habitat, birthplace, or the mentioned elements are under their dominion
·
Snow Queen
is a
actually a fictional character in the Hans Christian Andersen’s
fairytale, but is certainly based either
on a single deity, or few Pagan deities that share similar characteristics.
“The snow-flakes grew larger and
larger, till at last they looked just like great white fowls. Suddenly they
flew on one side; the large sledge stopped, and the person who drove rose up.
It was a lady; her cloak and cap were of snow. She was tall and of slender
figure, and of a dazzling whiteness. It was the Snow Queen. “[1] is a
description given in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale “Snow Queen”
Most of the authors claim the
character of The Snow Queen to be based
on the Norse Jotun deity Skadi, which
was considered a goddess* of winter . She was said to have been a formidable
warrior, hunter, and born in the house of Asgard. If we look more carefully into Snow Queen’s
psychology and even appearance, we will see that if infact she was based solely
on the Skadi goddess of Norse, the “basing” was pretty loose, at best. Skadi ,
though vindictive and with strong temperament, was also
reasonable and just when needed, and had
stoically fulfilled her agreement to
marry someone chosen solely upon
inspecting their feet. All of which Snow
Queen is not , she is cold, often emotionless, impassive , uninterested in romantic partner, cruel without real need, and certainly far from wearing huntress’ clothes . By
temperament she resembles more the Slavic deity Morana – goddess of winter,
death and snow, who enjoyed the cruelty,
puzzles, snow , ice and lifelessness, and was very bland in regards of
emotions. She reportedly wears long
black robes, with black cape, and
sometimes has pitch black eyes, although of very fair appearance otherwise,
with a pale snowy skin.
I think we can safely conclude
that Snow Queen is more an embodiment of Winter, and possible mixture of
various pagan deities associated with snow, rathe r than being simply based on a single
Norse goddess. She’s also a skilled and powerful sorceress, who likes giving a
touch of ice on everything she is able , and would love to see the whole world
covered in snow and ice, if only she wa s able to do such. She is beautiful and stylish, of firm ,
resistant, but still very admirable, classy and beautifu l appearance, much like ice and crystal.
·
Jotun ( or
Etin/s ) are giants in Norse mythology, thought to precede Aesir deities, and
sworn enemies of the same ( even though several Aesir deities consorts are actually Jotun-ic ) who live in places
wrapped in snow and ice, isolated, cruel and non- supportive of any physical
living being survival. Since these are often
remote freezing mountain tips, they are
often described as “mountain spirits” as well. Here is a description of them,
by a respectable occult author:
“Jotuns are wild, nocturnal
beings identified with ice, stone and hailstorms” [2] In modern
witchcraft, more so that based on Heathenry, they might be seen as
Elementals of Ice ( Water ) sometimes even as Watchtowers of the North, such as
in given example:
“…Inscribe in the air to Symbolic North a symbol of ice. Visualize an
ice elemental (rime-etin) positioned there and say:
Spirit and Power of the Snow,
King and Queen of the Rime-Etins,
Spirit of the Ice-Wand,
Defend and Witness this Rite,
Guard and Shield this Sacred Space,…” [3]
An online source though, states how Etins , are not the same as
Jotus, furthermore, that the earlier are, unlike the latter, friendly to
the Heathen ruling deities . Same source
later states: “Those inhabiting icy Niflheim were known as frost giants” [4]
·
Yuki Onna ,
is a Japanese “bakemono” type of spirit,
that has great deal of power in controlling snow, ice, blizzards and
snowflakes. It is regarded as highly
unfriendly, ranging to
extremely malevolent spirit depending on regional lore
difference/s. She is referred also
as “Lady of The Snow”, or “Snow Princess”. She appears in midst of the
raging snowstorms, wearing but a thin white kimono, or nothing at all sometimes
, gliding over snow, as she misses feet, or even riding a large white snow
wolf. Sometimes she will appear carrying a baby in her hand, which she seeks to
be held for a moment, by the people she
meets stuck in the storm, which upon taking the baby in their hand become
instantaneously frozen. She may simply
decide to freeze someone with her breath or conjure the amount of snowflakes
that will suffocate and/or freeze the victim, if the extremely strong cold winds don’t rip the victim apart
prior to it. Occasionally, she is even said to enter the dwellings and gives and icy kiss to those
sleeping, which is lethal, though compared to her other methods of
killing, rather merciful. She mostly reveals to those trapped in the
snowstorms, and has become a part of both works of classic
Japanese literature and popular fiction literature and media all over the
world. There are records that speak of
her acts of mercy too, where she either spares someone life or even help those lost in storms to find their way
out, which is the opposite of what she normally does, misleads people so they
get lost and die in the storm.
“More malevolent legends
sugges that Yuki Onna does not
appear just when it snows, she actually creates blizzards trapping people in them” [5]
·
Windigo ,
also known as Wendigo, is a cannibalistic monster/spirit appearing in (
northern ) Native American legends. The
very name means: “evil spirit that devours mankind/humans”, which reflects
Wendigo’s horrific insatiable hunger for
human flesh, which he so gladly consumes in great amounts. Judika Illes, in her
brilliant work “Encyclopedia of Spirits”
clearly distinct spirit and human Windigo, the latter being a human possessed with Windigo spirit or
overtaken by same, often as a result of either human’s cannibalism or , their misfortune to be struck with Wendigo
fever, a curse that may either kill of turn into another Windigo. Windigo can
allegedly be harmed or killed by using silver bullets or knifes, or “shattering
it’s icy heart” [6]
I added Windigo to this list of spirits, as it’s among other
things believed to be accustomed to cold
, snowy and icy weather and environment.
Also, sudden and very strong snow
storms ( strange , unexpected ) are
often believed to accompany them, and announce their arrival
“Since the Wendigo
constantly hungers for human flesh, it wreaks destruction in its pursuit of its
chosen prey. It crashes through the forests, all the while uprooting trees,
causing game animals to stampede, and causing whirlwinds. The monster is often
thought to be the cause of ice storms, tornadoes, and violent winds. All of
these weather-related phenomena are believed to signal the Wendigo’s presence.”
[7]
So not only that Windigos
are not affected by cold, but they get their strength from in , in fact, they are reputed to fear hot and fire element in general.
“Windigos are spirit of
ice, snow and winter” [8] “Windigos
experience the opposite of hibernation; they become more active during winter. [9]
Various protective charms,
even generic ones are very efficient in
repelling them, more so If they are in spiritual form.
·
Morana was the
Slavic goddess of winter and death. All
the winter disasters, snow, and death were believed to come from her. Three principal attributes associated with
her were: death, snow and darkness [10]
She was feared, and unpopular among Slavic people, which was
understandable considering the
circumstances Slavic people were faced
with in those times ( they lived from
agriculture mostly, climate was harsh and winters cold and long ) , which is to attribute for her notoriety
really. Midelage Christian source ( “Mater Verborum” )
compare Morana to Hecate and associate her with sorcery . [11] She was seen as very tall and
gracious, extremely pale, with black
hair, embellished with crystal and
icicles , which in some tales embellish her black dress. Fangs and long icy fingernails ( in
some stories even claws ) were the only things ruining her cold, but dazzling
beauty. To me these things are quite resembling to the description of Hans Christian Andersen’s “Snow Queen”. The opposed force of Morana, was Vesna,
goddess of spring, fertility, vegetation, life and nature. Near the end of
winter, varying in exact date, among
different groups of Slavic people, festivities were held to celebrate the winter’s end, when Morana’s
effigy was burnt at public ceremonies, ritually, in order to help the spring
come faster.
·
Jack Frost , is a personification of the Winter, frost, cold weather , possibly just being
another face of Old man Winter, which was an
mythological character in England , based on deity Wooden.
He is sometimes depicted as mischievous spirits, though he is mostly seen as careless, playful spirit that leaves frosty fern like
looking patterns and shapes on windows in the morning. Anyhow, Jack frost is another sprits with some
power over frost , snow and in some
versions , ice too
“Jack Frost is friendly but if provoked, he will kill his victims
by covering them with snow.” [12]
 |
| Frost on the window |
Some people associate them with Frost Thurses, which are
essentially frost- Etin ( rime-Etin ) , as discussed earlier in the article, but I personally don’t see the connection, because for one Jack
Frost is not an giant, nor does his
behavior or character resembles to those of Etin.
·
Cailleach
and Granny Martha – Callieach , also
known as the Cailleach Bheur , is
a Celtic ( Irish, and Scottish mostly
) deity,
or an chtonic ( possibly ancestral too
) spirit , associated with Winter and excerting some sort of “dominion”
over nature during winter months
from Samhain to the Beltaine. She “fights” arrival of the spring, and If
she goes out from her house on Imboloc
to get wood for her
fireplace, it is said that the winter shall be long ( longer than due
according to the calendar ) and severe. If Callieach does go out for the wood ,
the Imboloc will be sunny, hence cloudy Imboloc,
foretells swift Spring arrival.
“The Cailleach displays several traits befitting the
personification of Winter: she herds deer, she fights Spring, and her staff
freezes the ground” **
Granny Martha – is a Slavic, more precise Serbian and Montenegrin
( sometimes found in Bosnia and Croatia too ) folklore character, a sprit,
of cold and tricky weather, which opposed to the natural climate
of the given period. Namely late March, hence the name*** In most of the areas , it is believed that
the unpredictable spring climate and
weather “incidents” that occur due to it , are to attribute to this sprit, who
was once a human. She was an old lady that lived in the mountains, and one
Marth she went , along with 40 lambs. Even though the weather had been fair for
days, warm, the hasty and unpredictable side of it was show, and a terrible blizzard started entrapping the poor
old lady and her lambs, freezing them to death. Though a terrible faith, it
resulted In elevating the poor granny to a “higher” level of existence giving
her certain authority and power over elements.
It’s believed ( here ) that ever since,
as of late March and forty days
onward , she causes weather swings, so You can have rain, wind, snow, warm and
sunny all in one day. Don’t know If Granny Martha’s playing tricks or what, but
indeed ever after 15th of March, up to somewhere
late April here, the weather is terribly
unpredictable and prone to abrupt changes.
Old folks upon commenting on
weather in late March often say ( even nowadays ) : “it’s Granny Martha , and her 40
lambs”. That’s also why such weather is
said to last for 40 days.
Snow is mentioned around 23 times in Bible , mostly as a mean of comparison. In The Old Testament
it’s pale white color is often compared to leprosy symptoms, or as another miracle Lord used to communicate with his children, for example, as stated in Job 37: 5-7, so
that people may know his power too:
5 “God’s voice thunders in
marvelous ways;
he does great things beyond our understanding.
6 He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’
and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’
7 So that everyone he has made may know his work,
he stops all people from their labor” [13]
he does great things beyond our understanding.
6 He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’
and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’
7 So that everyone he has made may know his work,
he stops all people from their labor” [13]
Snow is also ( along with frost
and ice ) regarded as powerful and formidable
weather to be feared, that can be
inflicted upon humans as a punishment
for their sins
“ 15
He sends his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.
16 He spreads the snow like wool
and scatters the frost like ashes.
17 He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who can withstand his icy blast?” [14]
his word runs swiftly.
16 He spreads the snow like wool
and scatters the frost like ashes.
17 He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who can withstand his icy blast?” [14]
In David’s Psalm, as well as in
New Testament snow is a symbol of purity and wool like tenderness , also a
precipitation that feeds that Earth and thus enables fruitful yields . Clothes
of Archangel that rolled back and sat on
the rock placed on Christ’s tomb place was described to had appeared as
an lightning, with clothes white
as snow (Matthew
28:2-4 )
“17 Learn
to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.[a]
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.
Defend the oppressed.[a]
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.
18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the good things of the land; “ [15]
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the good things of the land; “ [15]
Ice is
described as produced by G’d breath , that freezes the waters,
much like the moisture with which the G’d empowers the
clouds and cold winds he sends ,
all illustrating Lord’s dominion over
elements and nature ( Job 37:9-11
)
Snow is in occultism created
from the interaction of two
elements, being Water and Air, so is
ice , even though some authors
view ice as Water and
Earth combination, due to its
firmness, durability and crystalline
structure. Snow embodies
spiritual tranquility, serenity, purity as well as glamour.Dreaming of snow is indicative of various things, depending on appearance of the snow in our dream. So, dreaming of the filthy snow indicates that the dreamer feels how some aspect of their personality was tainted some way. Dreaming of watching the snow fall is indicative of new chances, beginnings , peace and tranquility. Playing in the snow is indicative of chance, that must be seized swiftly, before it vanishes. Dreaming of snow sceneries implies that the dreame r is inhibited in some way, or rather self-inhibited , locking up inside some emotions that should be released, set free. It may also be reflective of personal frigidity, possibly blandness of a kind too. Discovering things in snow, finding items, means You either have, or will soon tap onto some hidden potential of Yours, or talent, or skill.
Dreaming of snowstorm suggest one feels left out, isolated , or shuts away on purpose , from other people. Snowflake represents individualism , and chance , also success.
Ice or Nifl is one of two primordial elements ( along with fire ) in Heathenry, that colliding with fire, caused creation in general, created Ymir, primordial Jotun, who was frosty in nature.
Ice bears similar meaning in dreams, it’s indicative of temporary lackage of ideas, thoughts or can also be sign that the dreamer is taking unnecessary and hazardous risks. Falling through ice in dreams predicts emotional “crash” ( trauma , breakdown, stress, lack of control ), and dreaming of ice cubes can suggest self inhibition , as well as need to cool off, or control some excessive emotions , for example unbalanced anger. Seeing someone frozen or in an ice cube indicates that You have reserved feelings and are closed to this person or vice versa.
Now some examples, of snow and ice magick
Vanishing snow spell
The idea comes from Cunningham’s
work on Natural magick [16], to use snow infused with something You wish
to banish, vanquish or make disappear. The concept is simple, we transfer
some of the energy of the condition to snow, then sprinkle it
with salt. Such snow will act like an effigy in a way, and as it melts so will
the negative condition. So You need to get a bowl of snow, finely packed , full almost to the rim. Then when You take it inside , You are to place Your palms over it and say something along the lines:
The aches and pains, and habits bad,
Thoughts that make, one angry or sad,
Take now snow, within yourself
Absorb impure, and bring me health
( adopt the words to Your need )
Then sprinkle half a handful of
rock salt over it and say something along the lines:“Evil contained within the snow
You shall not thrive, You shall
not grow
By my side You shall no longer
dwell
This spell bids You forever
farewell”
( again adopt by need this is
merely my suggestion )
Let the snow melts, if need be
You may evaporate any remaining, or pour
down the drains. Cunningham suggest
ritual like this to be done for 9 consecutive nights.
Hinder someone dangerous
Fashion a poppet to represent the target. Name , “baptize” and
consecrate the poppet, than place it outside just before snowfall or even
better, blizzard. If there’s already some snow, make sure that the poppet
protrudes at least from waist above from
snow. While placing it You may say something along these lines ( various times ): “Snow and Ice, shall cross Your path
Keep You still, and of short breath”
When You wish to release the person of the spell , simply remove the poppet from the snow, say : “I release You” and burn the poppet.
Cooling and Uncrossing snow baths
This bath is used to reduce fever
and lust, it’s a chastity bath. Take a bowl of snow and ad few drops of
Lavender oil and Camphor or Coconut oil, and pray over it to help You
cool You off and reduce fever, or
lust. Then add it to the hot tab water
and bathe. The following bath is used to remove and negate crossings, particularly hot footing and foot poisoning .
Add Hyssop leaves or Hyssop essential oil to a bowl filled with fresh, clean white snow, and also add a piece of silver, preferably broken chain , although any Silver will do. Pray over it, David’s Psalm ( 51st ) then also 91st , and Exodus 6:6-7 , Psalm 37th ; 14-15 , and let it stay overnight. Next day add this to some vessel large enough to place Your feet in, add enough boiling water to which a pinch of blessed salt and spoon of Holy water was added ( enough to make a warm bath ) and place Your feet in. Soaking Your feet, or rubbing them say:
“Lord, I cry to You for help! Deliver me from wicked snares of evil people and evil spirits! From poison that comes through feet, or mouth, from fire caused by evil. Deliver me , oh Lord for I have no other refuge than You, and You are my Creator and my Savior. Make me as pure as new , fresh snow, which extinguishes fire of evil. And as the snow melts and vanishes with spring, may all evil sorceries, tricks, fascinations , poisons vanish from me, and my house. Take them away Lord and set me free, I implore You! Have mercy upon me Lord, and save me from evil. Amen!”
Freezer Ice binding spell
This is a simple, popular binding
spell, that requires little and does wonders, for preventing people from
harming someone.
It’s no more than my personal
variation of this very popular spell,
and it goes something like this J : |
| Saturn's kamea ( planetary square ) |
As long as it remains frozen, You should be safe from the harm that person could devise towards Yourself, however, If they pose threat no more, release them by placing the ice to melt outside ( I do it on the crossroads ) saying something along the lines:
“I release You from this binding,
with harm to none, and for benefit of all !”
For the spell You will need five ice cubes tray ( one that makes them at least an inch square ), five quarters or other smaller demonination depending on the type of currency used where You live. And You are to place one by one, in five cube forms. Then , the reader is suggested to place the hands , palms down over the ice cube tray and visualize money coming their way. Then it’s left to freeze, inside or outside, depending on circumstances, and conditions. When one is about to take a bath, they are to remove the ice cubes from the tray, and place them in a bowl or on a plate. Removing the clothes , practitioner is suggested to sit before the tab, holding the cubes and saying:
“Hot and cold,
Mix well for me,
Help me win
Prosperity” [17]
Finally , the cubes are tossed into the bathwater , and one bathes “absorbing” the transformative powers of ice and luck and money drawing powers of the coins.
Preserving beauty spells
I came up with these simple
spells, to help preserve the beauty and youthful appearance, evoking preserving
and resistance qualities that ice naturally possess. · Make an infusion of the Lemon balm ( Melissa ) , Rosemary and Basil. Pour the into an ice tray and use the ice when the moon is Waxing or better yet Full, either in bath, or rub over parts of the body You wish to make more beautiful, If You can stand it.
· Take a Rose that bloomed on Beltaine, preferably one that still retains morning dew, and is whole, undamaged and beautiful. Place it in some vessel, and pour some water over it, saying : As this Rose will remain whole and beautiful in this ice, much longer that it’s due, so shall I , through this charm retain power to remain young and beautiful. So mote it be! Replace each Beltaine.
· Place some of Your personal concerns on a paper ( like nails and hair ) with Ouroboros symbol, and place it all on the bottom of some small container. Pour some Green blood of the Earth over it and say :
Regenerate, refresh, then last for long
Beautiful body, and spirit strong
Resist the age, and harsh of time
Be always fair and always shine !
Let it
freeze, and then left it frozen for one Lunar cycle, beginning and ending on the Full Moon. Afterwards, pour it all under some long lasting tree,
such as Olive for example, or Pine.
Snow calling spell
Most of the weather spells are unpredictable, and snow “conjuring” spells even more, If for nothing else, then because of the fact that no one really needs snow. Rain may be necessity, or even stopping the rain can, be so can invoking and banishing the winds, but when it comes to snow, there is no real need for it. However If You decided You still want to try and invoke the snow, try this simple ritual:
Prepare a small Jade or Ametrine crystal ( If neither are available, You may try with Quartz ) and inscribe it with following runes:
Laguz, Hagalaz, Isa ( If You feel
so inclined You can use Hagalaz alone )
You can combine them into a
bindrune If You are skilled in such.
 |
| Example of possible bindrune to be used in this spell |
Take a small glass bowl , or alternatively dig a small hole in the Earth. Fill it with water, and You may add some ice scrapes, or ice cubes. Now Hold the stone in Your hand , picture the snow falling, extended the hand towards the sky while saying:
Cold and white, though soft as wool
Snow I need, now here to fall
Sylphs and Undines, Air and Water
Hear my plea, and converse together,
Raise the water and air, then release them low
Make them cover land in ( the ) form of snow !
Then place the crystal in the
water. Remove after awhile , and pour
the water on earth, or if it was in the
hole, sprinkle some around.
