I love looking at the parallels between Celtic groups and how things developed over time.

We only know Cathubodua through chance, and linguistic parallels. Offer up a little prayer to her next time you see a Crow, feed some crows in her honour, or give her an offering at home. I give whiskey to The Mórrígan, so I offer up the same to Cathubodua!

Because of her name, the Celtic association of crows with war, and the similarity of her name to the Irish Badb/Badb Catha (also meaning battle crow, and one of The Mórrígan) it is supposed she is a Gaulish goddess of war, battle and potentially prophecy similar to The Mórrígan.

Deity of the Week - Cathubodua
A Celtic/Gaulish goddess of (probably) war. Her name translates as “Battle Crow” and was found on a single inscription in France, on a pillar devoted by a follower.

If you Picked 3 - Justice
Live lightly
Pay attention to the world around you and look within with honesty; you can be a force for good in the world, do all your actions at the moment reflect this? May your heart be as light as a feather!

The White Witch of Wiltshire @twwow.bsky.social · 9d

If you Picked 2 - King of Pentacles
Abundance and care.
From a place of stability take responsibility for the future. Things are good, look after after yourself, and others, as you are able. And remember to take only what you need, give thanks for what you have!

The White Witch of Wiltshire @twwow.bsky.social · 9d

If you Picked 1 - The World
Accomplishment.
Take everything you have learned, and make the next leap. You have the experience, the knowledge, and the skills to make the next step. Be proud of yourself!

Wednesday Witch Musings - October is here!
It is a time of year for slowing down, a time we can see the signs of approaching Winter, and also a time I feel called to Autumn Cleaning. Enjoy October and all it brings. I am slowing down to focus on craft and creation as the chill takes hold!

Thank you! Ingwaz is one of the runes I am always drawn to, so I like to offer up a little something for Ing!

The White Witch of Wiltshire @twwow.bsky.social · 10d

Amazing bit of rediscovery!

Deity of the Week-Ing
Possibly a variant of Freyr as Yngvi-Freyr.
Ingwaz is a rune of New Life, Fertility, Creative Power, and Transformation. You can worship Ing as a separate aspect or deity. Offer up grain or ale, recite from “The Old English Rune Poem” or other Rune poetry!

If you Picked 3 - The Artist (Extra Card)
Follow your heart and allow yourself to create. Sometimes our self doubt can hold us back from unleashing our full potential. Today is a day to embrace yourself fully and let your creativity, connection, and experimentation to flow!

If you Picked 2 - Seven of Cups
Daydreams.
Imagination, and dreams are powerful. At the moment you have lots of different dreams; that is good. Take a leap to achieve your dreams if possible. But don’t let the dreams distract you from reality.

The White Witch of Wiltshire @twwow.bsky.social · 16d

If you Picked 1 - Temperance
Find your balance.
Moderation, and balance are important, but sometimes hard. Some areas of your life may be out of balance at the moment. Be kind to yourself, and gently try and find your equilibrium again.
