Eye Of The Untold Her/Him/Us: A Meditation

I’ve been a fan of Lindsey Stirling for a long, long time. I’ve fallen in love with her music over and over again, and I fell in love deeper than ever before with the first single of her upcoming album, Eye Of The Untold Her. Her video gave me another idea for music Witchcraft – not a ritual, but a spell or meditation I felt emotional about.

When I’m trying to get in the mood to spend time at my altar, there are so many considerations and preparations that I have to make. In my practice I work with oils, waters, stones, herbs, incense, colored candles, fabrics, statuary, dolls (you don’t?), and ritual tools. Thankfully over the years I’ve filtered out what I like and what works, so I don’t need to recreate the wheel when I want to do a sabbat ritual or a major working that requires an overhaul of my altar elements. While scent and color and all of the other aesthetics can be helpful, how often are you bringing music into your practice? It’s something we see all of the time in other practices, so why not ours?
