Magick & Medicine

Comparative Practices 101
Wahya Circle

All of these activities are designed to hone and further develop our natural skills of personal Magick and Medicine when paired with our Workings. Each one building upon another, from historical knowledge to pharmakeia. These Lessons are designed to help us hold a better understanding of our place in the Cosmos and with our Self.

We utilize magickal items that Divinely Vibrate with certain energies that can help further develop the Intent of your Magick, strengthen our Intuition and solidify our Works and personal Practices that we have without even knowing.

We will spend our first few Lessons on portions of this goal in both Magick and Medicine. Journaling. Writing. Sharing. Recanting History. Refreshing the mind. Learning these topics will aid in our being ready to discuss our finds with other Practitioners as we walk with YOU. Then, for your Submissions, you will discuss what you have discovered.

There is no “pass/fail” mechanism per se but these Submissions assist us in determining the level of understanding for the topics provided — which assists in your guidance. All of this builds to our Heka Certificate of Completion goal. This is also your gauge to determine personal weaknesses, personal strengths, places to build or something that may need to be “put in check” with Ego perception.

If you find that you are struggling, please reach out. Knowledge is power and here is your first sip.

Sip slowly.

A ‘Year and a Day’

Over the years, many Practitioners have asked the question. “Why ‘a Year and a Day’?” The long and the short of it is that here in the Western Hemisphere, the “solar calendar” versus the “lunar calendar” were chosen. As such, here on Earth it takes approximately 365 solar days, or one ‘solar year’, to move through all of our planetary seasons.

With that stated, without moving through those seasons with Intent and Purpose, we cannot always grasp what is being taught about that season by the nature of What Is that surrounds us. For example, the Plant or Animal Allies in it, or the feeling (sensing) of energies found in that season and its Magick or Medicine attributed to it.

As time progresses, and if you stay this course through to Yona Circle™, you will navigate through the seasons thrice, expounding upon previous Knowledge each time, always building.

At Three Circles Medicine & Magick™, three Paths have foci as follows:

WAHYA CIRCLE - “SEE ONE”
Equivalent to the “First Degree” of other Paths, this perspective is presented as:
”Out There” (Earth)
Where We Were - Past - Shadow.
The Awakening begins.

”See One” - See the magick that is all around us! #SeeOne

GOLANV CIRCLE - “DO ONE”
This course of Lessons is equivalent to a “Second Degree”. It is viewed as: “In Here” (Self)
Where We Are - Present - Ego
We have Awakened to What Is and are exploring our Present Self in addition to continued Shadow Work.

”Do One” approach is in the present. We begin to do more personal practice every day, spending more time in service to continued Self healing, and learning to become Selfless with the Community at first, then more so with the Universe we now see more fully around us.
#SeeOne #DoOne

YONA CIRCLE - “TEACH ONE”
Knowledge is better shared. Very similar to a Third Degree, it is viewed as an exploration of “All Around” (Universe)
Where We Are Going - Future - Matter to Spirit
We have Awakened somewhat and are no longer fully constrained by the concept of Time. Space and Dimension are also explored here.

”Teach One” - Teaching others about discovering the Medicinal and Magickal Self enriches them. We do this by modeling ourselves and exhibiting behaviors in Self that we have explored and the knowledge we have garnered on our Journey doing so.

Although not mandatory, after completion of Yona Circle, you have the option of receiving either a Clerical or Teaching endorsement from 3CMM. This indicates to others that you have a solid personal practice, work efficiently on Self through Shadow and Ego, as well as a strong grasp of Ethics in both Magick and Medicine.

Beginning Craft
Witch or Not

It is known that all Practitioners do not refer to themselves as “witch”. Those that do, have a very strong opinion about what to call - or not call them when being addressed. Most of the Practitioners that start 3CMM, change as their practices evolve, some losing a name label altogether.

No matter what label we decide to place upon ourselves, feel good about it. Love it. Embrace it. Respect it. Be proud of it. Above all else, KNOW why the moniker has been chosen either by your or for you as Paths differ. What matters most is how we personally feel, or connect with in the name. Regardless, having a moniker does not change the energetic reality that all humans are capable of being magickal and can utilize the same energy as everyone else, it just takes PRACTICE. Hence, Practitioners.

Below you will find links to others who share what they “wish they knew” before they started this Path. Please take some time to review these Knowledge shares.

The first video offering is of a Wiccan perspective out of New Zealand. They showcase inclusiveness, such as males and females as “witches” of the group if they choose to be.

(Be sure to give a “like” or “comment” on their respective pages as a show of gratitude for their sharing of their time and knowledge.)

Conical Hats
and Green Faces

Below is a link to a Georgia BHS article written about the “conical hat”. This style of hat has been around over 6000 years of history where it is easily discovered. It is a lengthy read, but well worth the knowledge.

Next there is a link to a shorter read with often verifiable evidence of one of the origin stories of the “green faced witch” that circulates in many cultures’ histories to this day. Some may recall childhood stories that are similar, or maybe have heard an Elder speak of it. Take heed.

There is a little ‘truth’ in all things and these are meant to challenge our current beliefs, open our minds, or simply to help solidify our principles and personal practices we already employ. Either way, we hope insight is garnered to the thoughts of others and their viewpoints.

Organized Thoughts

A “Book of Shadows” or a written/typed Journal is not required to walk this Path, or any Path for that matter. Having the ability to deep think and challenge Self, is.

Preparing early in the Journey is important to help us ease along without crowding our mind with Knowledge not meant to be logically learned in a day. A strong Practitioner is organized of Thought. (Or at least keeps everything where it can be found!)

Think About It
Will you be keeping a Journal or BoS? How will you organize your thoughts, spells, Petitions, Rituals, etc? Written word? Digital?
