So drink only fresh lemonade.

When learning the truth about witches?

Do you know the stitches of needlepoint

And the science for policies tightened?


The world is brightened

By the ghost of Queen Adelaide.

Why is your light still in the shade?

You know which witch is wonderful.


Hecate has placed a key for you

Under the mat near the magic door.

Who will guide you to explore?

Perhaps you have been here before.


Welcome to part four of the enlightened re-enchantment of the world.

There are obviously many crafts besides witchcraft.

There are many skills to acquire as required.

Are you clean and honest?

Is your mind appropriately open?


Is Hecate the Spirit of Enlightenment?

How will you find the truth?

You may know that picturing witches

Is not a straightforward exercise.

How have you sought enlightenment

Over the past month, and why?


Is it better to have a house or nous?

Is all history divining?

What is wiccecræft?

The Moirai are here.

The other Fates are here.

The Three Graces are here.

And Enitharmon is here, too.


Where do you usually find

An earthly harmony?

How has you mind

Reanimated Queen Adelaide

And ancient goddesses?


What is strange about the preternatural?

What is known about the eternal?

Are you seeking to be metaphysical?

Are you feeling particularly quizzical?

 

The momentum for truth must arise soon.

Is the Scottish play a comedy?

Does divination always lead to prophecy

Is there witchcraft on the corner of the moon?


Hecate is the true queen of wizardry.

Queen Adelaide is here through

Imagined necromancy and the

Art of magic realism.


The magic number for oil

Causes wars.

The magic circle of legal power

Causes despair.


What is divine?

Is time?

Is a wicca wizard

Or a wicce witch?

 

Is Hecate a spirit or a concept?

Does the offshore magic circle

Own governments?

Be aware.


Like folk beliefs of animism

The microcosm-macrocosm analogy

Is not informed by microbiology

Or quantum mechanics.


There is much to learn.

How do you examine synergy?

Do you do so with a Sator Square?

What do you know about amorality?


Fair is foul, and foul is fair

To the amoral and immoral alike.

How do you tell the difference

Between medicines and poisons?



I am for the air; this night I'll spend
Unto a dismal and a fatal end:
Great business must be wrought ere noon:
Upon the corner of the moon
There hangs a vaporous drop profound;
I'll catch it ere it come to ground:
And that distill'd by magic sleights
Shall raise such artificial sprites
As by the strength of their illusion
Shall draw him on to his confusion:
He shall spurn fate, scorn death, and bear
He hopes 'bove wisdom, grace and fear:
And you all know, security
Is mortals' chiefest enemy.

 


The Danse Macabre is everywhere.

Discover diagnostics.

Learn about the Gnostics.

Have you had your deipnon?

 

There are many cultural mixes

To discover and explore.

Do you know occult terms

And occultation?

 

Understand the fantasy of wizardry

Think of Hermeticism.

Wear a pointed hat

Critique the trifunctional hypothesis.

 

Remember this is a grimoire.

Where are the warlocks?

Will you ignore them?

Calculate with Napier.


O well done! I commend your pains;
And every one shall share i' the gains;
And now about the cauldron sing,
Live elves and fairies in a ring,
Enchanting all that you put in.


Are you guided by Hecate, Calliope and/or Twaklin, or another type of spirit, a mythical creature, fictional character or archetype?

 

Numinous wonders,
And minds spellbound:
What are these to you?

We are enlightened. 
No superstitions
Make us frightened.
Respect nature.
Learn its rules.

 

Spirits of the air and lakes.
Spirits of the forests.
Spirits of the rocks and seas.
Parts one, two and three.
