O Holy Night, re-written by Trista Hendren and Anders Løberg

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night that our Goddess returns;
Long lay the world in suffering and oppression—
'Til She appears and we all feel our worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn;
Rise from your knees,
Oh, hear the women's power!
O night divine, O night when Goddess rose
O night, divine, O night, O night divine.

Truly She taught us to love one another;
Her way is love and Her gospel is peace;
Chains shall She break, the slave is no longer
And in Her name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy, or****ic chorus raise Her,
Let all within us praise Her holy name;
She reigns on high
Oh, praise Her name forever!
Her strength and love, Her strength and her love,
O night, O night divine, O night divine.

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night that our Goddess Returns;
Long lay the world in suffering and oppression—
'Til She appears and we all felt our worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn;
Rise from your knees,
Oh, hear the women's power!
O night divine, O night when Goddess rose
O night, divine, O night, O night divine.

HAPPENING SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH, 5:00 - 9:00 PM EDT at TheMenageriepgh in Bellevue, PA.

A Witch Awakens will be providing $13.00, B***y, Uncensored Oracle Guidance Messages inside The Menagerie, at 494 Lincoln Ave., Bellevue, PA 15202 during Light Up Bellevue.

I will be using your choice of 3 decks to provide VERY no holds barred, uncensored, in your face messages from your Ancestors & Guides. We've done this at many of the past events and had a blast so we’re bringing it back!

These decks are blunt, straight forward, off color and can & most likely will hurt your feelings. They are definitely NOT for the faint of heart or those easily offended.

If you do not feel these decks work for you but still want a reading, I will have my much tamer, seasonal Yule deck with me so everyone can participate.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Apep, also called Apophis, is the Devourer of the Sun, an ancient and malevolent power that seeks nothing less than the end of all life and the return to the primeval darkness from which it was born.

In the Encyclopedia of African Religion, Apep is the god of dissolution, destruction, and nonbeing. Nothing can escape the attention of Apep when he wants to advance an adversary position. Indeed, in ancient Egypt, Apep was the main adversary to Ra, seeking to destroy Ra, to bring him into nonbeing, and to create havoc in the society. He swallowed his enemies and caused them complete nonexistence; because no one wanted to be nonexistent, Apep was especially feared. The ancient Egyptians believed that Apep was without natural characteristics; indeed, he was outside of the natural world and therefore could not be looked on like the deities or humans. As a being who needed nothing from the natural world, neither sustenance nor companionship, Apep is totally devoid of any respect for humans.

"So without over-simplifying an explanation".

Ap/ep is not a conscious being. It is a driving force. Apep represents the Uncreated, the negation of creation and of life. It is not death, it is not an end of life. Apep is "not-life".

Apep doesn't have any preference to what it wants to Uncreate, and doesn't "want" at all. Apeps entire existence is simply to Uncreate.

This is why when I see people who say they worship the Ap/ep, I know they don't understand what it really is.

The more you know! 🌟

Most people think the gingerbread man is just a cute holiday cookie…
but the original meaning runs much deeper and it’s time to remember it.

🜁🜂🜄🜃

The gingerbread man began as a magical effigy, not a dessert.
In old winter traditions, witches and wise women shaped gingerbread into little human figures to hold intention for protection, healing, truth, and clarity during the darkest time of the year.

Ginger was a fire root.
Clove was a fire seed.
Cinnamon was fire bark.
So each figure was a tiny fire guardian made of warm, activating plants.

They weren’t meant to be eaten.
They were meant to protect, to clear energy, and to anchor the home during winter when the veil was thin.

Even Queen Elizabeth I used gingerbread figures as power magic shaped like the people in her court. An edible poppet. A symbolic spell. A message that said, “I hold your image, and your actions matter.”

The story of the gingerbread man “running away” came later…
a coded warning about what happens when intention becomes too strong or consciousness awakens in the vessel.

Over time, the church tried to sanitize the tradition
turning magical guardians into “cute cookies”
and turning winter rituals into children’s stories.

But the symbolism never died.
It only went underground.

And now, people are remembering again.

The gingerbread man isn’t just a cookie.
He’s a winter protector,
a fire root effigy,
a spell body that holds energy
and brings truth to whatever he’s created for.

This season, honor the roots.
Honor the craft.
Honor the fire.

The magic never left
we just forgot what we were holding. ✨

🜁 Earth
🜂 Air
🜃 Fire
🜄 Water

It’s all returning.

Reading for Thursday 12/4

It may be time to lighten things up. If you are truly enjoying living life the way aster that you do, continue to do so. If you are feeling constricted, however, remember that you can always give yourself a bit more freedom. Let your hair down and stop worrying about everyone else will think.

It is time to allow your amazing, authentic self shine through and find out who in your life is willingly to accept the real you. Those are the only ones who deserve space in your heart and life. All the rest need to go to make room for others who will accept you for who you truly are. Love yourself first and others will follow.
