The Pippins And The Cornish Talisman

This blog was originally all about a little dog called Pippin. Pippin moved to St Ives which is a seaside resort populated by artists and artists colonies and is on the south west coast of Cornwall - the foot of the United Kingdom which sticks out in to the Atlantic Ocean - so it is technically nearest to America on the other side of the Atlantic.

Later Pippin got a doppelgänger - namely a larger Pippin. Then various other needle felted creatures turned up and in between all that I started putting on  some of our small films that had originally been on other blogs and websites, from 2009 onwards.

As I have been interested in the paranormal since being a young child, a lot of what I do is based on this concept, so the blog has developed a bit of a paranormal theme too with lots of spell castings shown as well.

The above talisman says 'Good luck to one and all' in old Cornish dialect along the bottom. The talisman shows a fish, some ancient stones, a mine and a chough (chuff) bird  which is a traditional Cornish emblem  and is known as the Hap Da.

The talisman can be further empowered by ritual magick or it can be spirited (or both). Various spirits can be added to the talisman, completely of their own freewill. The best kind would be those that would call on King Arthur, the chough familiar bird, a Merlin portal or something connected to extremely ancient powers.

Autumn Leaf Spell

This is a spell using Autumn leaves. it is a good spell for banishing unwanted energies or situations.

UFOs Have Landed

This is yet another more advanced UFO spell. The effigies act as focal points for energy and calling down of spirits to do one's bidding.

Magick! Magick! Magick!

The film clip which has audio shows some of our Autumn/Fall Equinox Mabon workings. We like to get outside and work magick in the open air wherever possible. We even go outside in winter if we can manage to, but some rituals have to be done indoors.
The fruit and cakes are offerings - giving back for the harvests. Mabon is the second harvest festival of the year and Halloween/Samhain is the last one

Spirit Spell For Protection And Success

This spell which was done specifically for a client, uses protective bay leaves and winner's trophies. The attributes of both the spirit of the wolf - for courage, determination and protection and the spirit of the bear - for increased abilities, power and strength, have been called on here too.

Flower Spell To Capture Summer's Fleeting Essence

This ritual was performed for a client earlier in the week. It is almost Autumn/Fall now, not long to go in the Northern Hemisphere.

However this ritual captured a powerful energy - hence using the bottle and the different kinds of flowers in symbolism of eternal beauty and the continuing cycle of the plants re-birthing again.

The person who the ritual was performed for, now has 'summer in a bottle' from a spiritual sense, to strengthen and empower them in all ways, right through the cold months.

The Furry Critters With A Light Up House

The Pippins missed out on this one unfortunately. I didn't know until recently that there was a play called 'Pippin'. Not only is it coming to our area, but just a few hours ago I was reading an American book from 1973 and a show entitled 'Pippin' was mentioned. Lots of synchronicity going on here. Wonder how the doggies are getting on in Cornwall? I wonder if they are enjoying the famous St Ives music festival?
