The name for the January full Moon is believed to have originated from Celtic and Old English roots, which European settlers then brought to the New World.

At one point, gray wolves were among the most widespread land mammals on our planet. According to the Wolf Conversation Center, gray wolves “inhabited most of the available land in the Northern Hemisphere.” Habitat destruction and persecution by humans have reduced their range by about a third worldwide and 90 percent in the lower 48 states.

The wolf’s adaptable nature to survive in a wide range of habitats and ability to prey on the largest mammals living in those regions made it widespread. Basically, if there are enough deer, moose, elk, caribou, bison, and musk ox, wolves can survive. Predation of domestic animals caused friction with European settlers and early Americans who aggressively hunted the wolves.

Werewolf myths can be found in ancient Greek and Roman societies, throughout European history and among some Native American tribes. In modern storytelling the transformation from man to wolf has been closely tied to the full Moon in films like “The Wolf Man” and “American Werewolf In London.”

Howl at the Moon means to waste energy pursuing something unattainable. It’s shorthand for doing something crazy. However, howling is hardly a waste of energy among wolf packs. And they aren’t howling at the Moon. The Moon just happens to be shining during times when wolves most often howl.

A wolf’s howl can be heard miles away. The vocalization helps wolves locate separated members and even communicate between packs marking their territories. One study recorded spontaneous howls and responses happen most often between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.

The cry of wolves doesn’t play into the Sioux name for the January full Moon, which is known as “The Time When Wolves Run Together.” Wolves do plenty of running to defend territory that can stretch hundreds of square miles to find enough prey to support the pack.

Other Celebrations

• Hogmanay | January 1st: is the Scots word for the last day of the old year and is synonymous with the celebration of the New Year in the Scottish manner. It is normally followed by further celebration on the morning of New Year's Day (1 January) and, in some cases, 2 January—a Scottish bank holiday. In a few contexts, the word Hogmanay is used more loosely to describe the entire period consisting of the last few days of the old year and the first few days of the new year. For instance, not all events held under the banner of Edinburgh's Hogmanay take place on 31 December.

The origins of Hogmanay are unclear, but it may be derived from Norse and Gaelic observances of the winter solstice. Customs vary throughout Scotland and usually include gift-giving and visiting the homes of friends and neighbours, with particular attention given to the first-foot, the first guest of the new year.

• Compitalia/ Feast of Lades | January 3-5: was an annual festival in honor of the Lares Compitales, household deities of the crossroads, to whom sacrifices were offered at the places where two or more ways met.

Dionysius said that Servius Tullius founded the festival, which he describes as it was celebrated in his time. Dionysius relates that the sacrifices consisted of honey-cakes (Ancient Greek: πέλανοι) presented by the inhabitants of each house; and that the people who assisted as ministering servants at the festival were not free men, but slaves, because the Lares took pleasure in the service of slaves. He further adds that the Compitalia were celebrated a few days after the Saturnalia with great splendor, and that the slaves on this occasion had full liberty to do as they pleased.

During the celebration of the festival, each family placed the statue of the underworld goddess Mania at the door of their house. They also hung up at their doors figures of wool representing men and women, accompanying them with humble requests that the Lares and Mania would be contented with those figures, and spare the people of the house

I think for a lot of witches who aren't in covens, the desire to be in a coven is really just the desire to have real-life friends who practice.

(I'm speaking as a witch who is not and has never been in a coven, and currently has no desire to be.)

I absolutely see the value of covens, and I have some thoughts about the use of covens in community building, social justice witchcraft and mutual aid brewing (no pun intended), but I think a lot of people seek out a coven when what they really want are people to share their practice with who can give knowledge and resources in return.

I'm lucky to have half-a-dozen friends interested in witchcraft in my local community, and having them around gives me so much motivation to practice more and more often. even when I've actually practiced with only one or two of them, we're constantly giving each other resources that helped us and extra materials we no longer need. the impulse from beginner witches especially, I've found, comes from wanting specific personal guidance from a witch they perceive as more experienced. The best way to form these personal connections, in my experience, is to have friends who are friends first, fellow witches second.

in all honesty I don't know what I'm trying to say with this other than:

go seek out people with similar interests as you in witchy spaces, go seek out witchy people in spaces related to your other interests, and be there to help your friends who are interested in practicing. it can be unbelievably valuable to your practice and your interpersonal life.

Here's a post for all you witches in University.

It's okay to not practice as much as you used to.

It's okay to not be able to burn that candle, insence or cleansing bundle.

It's okay to not have the money for the offerings you used to give.

It's okay to find it hard to practice alongside your workload.

It's okay to put a pause on your craft.

You're human and you can only do so much. Your craft will still be there for you when you're out of uni so do what you can but do not stress.

Shit hit the fan today due to me speaking the truth. This is the damn card I pulled and good God does it fit this situation.

I am thankful to have La Santa Muerte on my side along with God. Thank you both. You will always be my light when it's darkest.

Basic Info About Me :)

Hi! I'm Nine! This is my sideblog that I am planning on using to compile anything witchy that strikes my fancy (info, corespondences, recipes, memes, you name it). I'm also using it for info on pagan practices and deity worship.

I have been in the witchcraft scene for about 6-ish years now, doing research and the like... but I have never actually practiced much aside from tarot. I'm hoping to change that soon and actually start doing things! :D

As of right now I am quite shy and dont really talk online but I am hoping that having this blog can get me out of my shell so I would LOVE to follow and talk to more pagans and witches out there, experienced and baby witches alike :)

I am interested in learning as much as I can but for some specifics of what I am intersted in:

🧹 Hearth witchery

🗝 Goddess Hekate

🃏 Tarot

🦴 Throwing bones/osteomancy

🌿 Protection

☕️ Teas

🕯 Spells of all kinds

If you want to talk, give tips, ask questions, I would love to chat and interract!

I am always trying to be as respectful as I can, but I admit that I don't know everything. It is never my intention to hurt anyone. If I overstep, please respectfully let me know.

Would you like to be friends? 🌻

Hello everyone 🌻 I hope you're doing well today/tonight! I'm looking for like-minded people to become friends with long-term :) So, let me tell you some things about me. My name is Lilith, I'm a genderqueer individual, and I use she/they pronouns. Let's go over some other things you should know about me!

Likes...

- cooking/baking

- journaling

- enjoying nature

- creating art

- board/card games

- self development

- reading ↑

- achieving new goals

- researching topics that interest me

- philosophy

- psychology

- entrepreneurship

- spirituality

Fun fact! I'm a vegetarian and have been eating clean for a few months now ^-^

I would describe myself as...

- kind

- insightful

- ambitious

- caring

- understanding

- honest

- emotionally/mentally mature, intelligent, and responsible

If we have some things in common from above, I know that we'll get along very well!

I'm truly looking for a wholesome friendship where we can feel safe talking about our problems, our achievements, and to encourage each other to do what is best for us (self development). A healthy friendship where we both do our best to communicate effectively and in a healthy/mature way, support each other, listen to each other, and in general, have a 50/50 sorta friendship.

Although, I do have some things I do not want in a friendship. Allow me to elaborate..

‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿

Deal breakers (TW - dr*gs and h@te)

- drinking

- smoking

- dr*gs

- caffeine intake

- highly processed food intake

- homophobia

- transphobia

- sexism

- racism

- ableism

- ageism

- pro terf

- anti feminism (against respect, equal opportunities, and equal rights for all genders)

- against pro choice

- emotionally/mentally immature, non intelligent, and not responsible

(Also, if you're recovering from or truly trying to lower the amount of anything on this list, you're also welcome to be my friend! As long as you're truly trying your best, that's what counts!)

(Yes, this ↑ is also saying that if you have a low intake of caffeine or highly processed foods/drinks, or you're trying to lower it, we can still be friends!)

Make sure you do not go against any of these before messaging me while keeping in mind the disclaimers I've stated just above ↑

‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿

Dislikes...

- voice/video calls

- ANY type of roleplay

Disclaimer: never message me if you're bored, or just want to chat for a short time. And if you disagree or feel offended by my standards and or deal breakers, kindly do not comment or message me.

I personally do not mind anyone's age, but, if you have a preference of the ages of people you're friends with, please state that in our first conversation so there's no miscommunications!

Thank you for taking the time to read this 😊 Feel free to message/comment, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

I love you friends who read tarot with me! I love how we each have a different relationship with tarot! There are endless personal mythologies about this simple deck of cards! Each of us has a tarot dialect!

I love you friend who relates each card to a different butterfly species! I love you friend who understands every tarot archetype as a Lord of the Rings character! I love you friends who read straight from the booklet that came with your cards because you are too new to know what they all mean! I am forever developing my own tarot language and my friends add to my vocabulary!

Looking to make some more witch friends!

Hey! My name is Celina and I’ve been a practicing witch since about 2017/2018ish. I’m 25 years old and my pronouns are she/her. I specialize in baneful magic, and I love reading tarot and learning new forms of divination.

I’d like to eventually get a small group chat of fellow witches started on snap or Twitter. DM me if you’re interested in a friendship! All witches welcome - I just ask that you be 18+.
