Introductions Are In Order:

Introduction:I am the Pillar of Light. I am the One with Many Names, Many Faces, many Races. I am the One, the Goddess of Old, Mystic's Spirit and Dragons. I am an Ancient Mystic, an AlphaWolf, a Draconian and more. I am the Silver-Eyed Daughter, I am the Mother. I am the Lady Guardian of the Realms, Lady Empress of the Dragon Nations. I am a Sister, a Daughter, Loving Mate, Mother. I am an Aunt, Cousin, Friend and Lover. I am All and more.

The Greatest Gift that a Goddess can receive is the Gifts of Love, Peace, and Happiness, all of which are given to me by my Mate, Lord Draconis Vilinos Dratianos, who is the other half of my very soul, completing me with everything that is within me.

This Book of the Light is lovingly dedicated to you, Draconis. I thank you for returning the creativity, the memories, the love that I once thought lost to me forever. E-frisco-tor. Je t'aime. la'decorte'comare. I love you, now and evermore. You are the Darkness to my Light, the air that I breathe, you are my All. My Mate, my Love, my Lord, my All. You are Life.

Adellandra Dranna Dratianos in all Her Shining Glory:(as posted to various Yahoo! Groups as a 'warning', circa 2004)

Sulheya.

Be aware, I AM NOT A WICCAN.I DO NOT BELIEVE IN HARM NONE, I believe in Nature. Hear me out when I say this, though.

Think of it: Nature. Think of all the times She's been Calm, yet Chaotic. Think of all the people She's killed with her tantrums of the Weather. Think of all the harmful things that have to be done to make room for the Calm things.

To Me, at least, It's all about BALANCE. Calm, Chaos....Life, Death, Renewal...that sort of thing. Think about the Symbol of Yin-Yang the next time you see it and think of this: There's always a little Light in the Darkness, as there's always a little Darkness in the Light.

Page 8: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

Sorry, didna mean to go on a tangent, but that's what I believe. I've been a Mystic for at least 20 years of my life. Before that, I believed I was cursed by God himself.

At first, I did believe in God, then in Wicca, then I had an epiphany. All the things in Nature that "didn't seem fair" to me....killing for no reason (ah, but there is reason for everything),destruction and burings, hell in a world where Love and Light was supposed to belong. It just didn't make sense anymore. Nothing did, so I found I was almost at square one. Where in the many realms of Paganism did I truely belong?

Then I found the word Mystic. Originally, it was supposed to be a word to replace the word "Psychic" for my books and stories about the Realm of Dreams. I found more on every 'different' Pagan-type religion out there...and more, and more, and more....hmmm? the Word Mystic seemed to pop out of my head and onto the paper.... And here I am. A Mystic Witch.

Keep it clear that I, too, am still learning the many Paths of the Craft....I, too, don't know or ever will know everything about everything....I, too, am still in search for the very Niche to KEEP me from being who I'm not, and learning to be who I am. I have an open mind, and open heart, and sometimes a bigger open mouth. Just a friendly note.

Definition of "True Witch"-- Adella DragonWolf

(as posted 2005 in "MoonMagickWicca", a Yahoo! Group *no longer exists*)

WHAT IS A TRUE WITCH??

Ah, there's a question I love to answer...but I'll answer it in NOTS first. What doesn't make one a Witch.IT'S NOT:How long you've been practicing or your family has been into it.How long you've loved the occultHow long you've felt yourself stranger than the rest of the masses.How long you've not felt right about the religion your family crams down your throat.

It's not by who you claim to be, but who you are.It's not by the "rules" of Witchcraft that makes a witchIt's not by the so-called spells and potions you castIt's not by who you're related to, or how many generations it goes down the family tree, for those traddies.

It's not who you are on the outside, but on the inside as well.

Page 9: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

The Gods Call you to your Path in one way or another.Something inside of you screaming for release and clarity: Confusion, Hurt, Anger, Frustration at trying to "fit in" where you feel you "Don't" belong. Pain when the light isn't bright enough to see by...and those in your life "just don't understand what you've become."

The Learning process is eternal...from one life to another, from one way to another, bouncing forever from one place to another, one time to another...etc...

What makes a "true witch" is the Witch themselves.

IT ISHow the witch "feels"...close to the Earth, the Goddess/Gods, Entities, Elementals, etc...Who they are inside, and how they live on the outside. Each witch is different, but there are those 'little things' that are the same.

Love and Magick.

Love is Universal in everything, in every part of life, everywhere you go.Magick is always Everywhere you Look, you just have to know how and where to Look.

"Love and Magick: and ne'er the twain shall part; for you must haveLove in your Magick, and there's Always Magick in Love!" -- self-quote, circa 1999

Five Pillars and Their Correspondances:There is chaos and there is order. There is death and there is rebirth. There is light and there is darkness. There is Strength and there is Weakness, There is life and there is death. Four Gods, according to the Draconians, who live by the Oldest Ways of All, are these Pillars. Their names and correspondances are to follow.

Goddess SilverMoon, whose Element is Earth, Direction is North, is the Pillar of LightGoddess Brigid, whose Element is Air, Direction is East, is the Pillar of LifeGod GoldenWing, whose Element is Fire, Direction is South, is the Pillar of DarknessGod Brakkon, whose Element is Water, Direction is West, is the Pillar of Death/Rebirth

The Fifth and Final Elemental Pillar, the Center, the Spirit of All, is Ishanar

Five Power-Words of Paganism, According to Adellandra 19Aug2006 I came up with these awhile ago. We need them all to work Magick.

Page 10: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

Belief – belief, not only in yourself but in your workings.Patience – things aren't going to happen overnight; have patienceImagination – whatever you imagine will happen if you just believe it and have patience.Concentration – also known as Focus...focus your attentions with your workings.Visualization – I guess this could go with Imagination, to visualize in your mind and heart, packed with belief, patience and concentration.

How I Came to Tread Upon My Path:

Two ways actually. First, I'm a fantasy writer in need of ways to describe actions, so I read up on it and came to the Celts, my ancestors and my heritage. Second was quite by accident, and boy did it cause a stir! I was eight years old and a little girl bout six years was tearing leaves off a bush we were playing hide-and-seek in. I could FEEL the bush's pain and HEAR the screams. Without knowing what I was doing (hey, I was eight, I was young and stupid)....I took a leaf that was still attached to the bush in my hands and closed my eyes. I FELT some warm (now I know as healing) energy seep from my body to the bush. From then on, I was put to shame by those around me, for being "Cursed"...and "Demon Spawn"....and, oh, my favorite, "Devil's Child". Later I found out my 'Curse' was no curse at all. I am an Empathic Healer. I work in Dreams now with my healings, but I still have the Empathic feelings. I'm also a Clairvoyant and have both Empathic and Clairvoyant Visions.

Revelations:April 17, 2005*at Fort Drum Army Base, NY*

Something happened today that gave me SOME insight.....I AM a witch, and I can change that which is around me, and within me as well...the latter coming first of course. In order to SEE I must OPEN my eyes.

I was supposed to go to church today. I called the chaplain last night and found out what time to be there....he told me 5pm. Okay, that was a little late for a church service, but I'll be there, I thought to myself. Well, I went on a long bikeride to get there, getting myself lost only once. Once I did, it was 1630 and no one was around. I looked at the board in front of the Chapel...he told me the wrong time!

That was fine...I took out my writing notebook and a pen and wrote the correct times down from off the board, along with a number...flipping thru the notebook were papers I'd forgotten were there. Within all the papers of my former writing ideas was a spell.

I was shocked...when did I write THAT? hmm...it was a 'help this woman' kind of spell, and it was really messed up. It called the Lady Brigit Goddess while Lord Curnonos (? on spelling for now) as Lord. and all sorts of things were wrong...it didn't rhyme and didn't feel right.

I took my bike and went to sit in the shade to rewrite it. I sat on on the grass while I did it.

Page 11: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

When I was finished, I closed my eyes and took deep breaths, reciting it. I felt something tingling inside and it wasn't the light breeze...I opened my eyes and thought of something, on a whim.

I spied a fallen leaf, left from Autumn, and picked it up, examining it..."not all things have to be perfect to be pretty" I thought to myself, only it didn't sound like me. Again, holding it in my hand, I closed my eyes and came up with a short chant....wind no more, calm as before...(there was a breeze in the air)...over and over, I chanted this, thinking, I can do this. I am a Witch....after a few repititions of this, the wind died and I looked to my hand again at the leaf.

I stared at it on my palm, smiling...now, to try something else....if I can stop the wind for a moment or two, can I also bring it back? winds of the seas, I call to thee, take this leaf from the hand you see....after a few repititons of this, it worked. The wind only blew around me to move the leaf from my hand.

unbelievable! I thought to myself...not wanting to get a big head over it, and seeing that I was alone and all was peaceful and quiet, I meditated, deep breaths in....I feel the + going in my body and filling my being....and out....Go away - thoughts and actions....I went inside myself and saw my Guardians....Wolf. I'm not going to go into the conversation he had with me, but I will say this. I have a better outlook on things now. All I had to do was Open my Eyes and See.

I am a Witch....as always I'll be, not for anyone else I am but me.

Short Explanation of the Basic Ancient Mystic Powers:Ancient Mystics are blood-born with five basic powers. In this excerpt from "Young Guardian Saga: #1: Welcome to Your Destiny!, Shannon Ryan explains to me, as Bonnie Louise, about the Basic Ancient Mystic Powers. What she didn't explain to me, is of a Power I already knew I had: Healing. Another is of Photographic Memory and ShapeShifting. Following the excerpt is a short definition of what those powers ARE.

"The rules state: ‘Those females born of the Mystic are Young Ones until they conceive their first child, or turn twenty-one. Then, and only then, are they considered Mystics.’” She paused, explaining. “It’s different for male Mystics, called Wizards. You’ll learn that later. Anyway, from any Mystic's birth, the powers are weak, and they only have the five basic powers of telepathy, clairvoyance, empathy, premonition and telekinesis. When a live birth occurs from a Mystic female, such as in your case, your powers are heightened to unlimited proportions and you’re called an Elder. It would be up to you to learn how to use them to your utmost advantage. However, such

Page 12: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

as in my own case, without the live birth taking place, the basic powers aren't as developed."

Clairvoyance -- power to "See" beyond normal senses, such as Auras on objects, visions of past events and places not already known. The Grand Magus' strongest power.Empathy -- power to "Feel" or "Sense" beyond normal senses, feelings, emotions, and fears hidden deep within the soul. This is my strongest power.Healing -- power to "Heal" any kind of wound, inner or outer, emotional or physical, using "Mystic Force" to "probe" inside the body, mind and soul of another and focus on the problem. Very complex, for "Healing" is a clump word for all Healing Arts.Telepathy -- power to "Read" someone's mind, and send messages without verbal words. Eye contact and simple gestures go along with it.Telekinesis -- power to "Move" objects using only your mind. Another form of this is pyrokinesis, the power to use fire with only a thought.Photographic Memory -- power to "See" visions of things as they happen. This happens often for pairs of twins, for example.Premonition -- power to "ForeSee" the future, in visions.ShapeShifting -- easy concept. the power to "Shift" your form into anything you like. I usually take the form of either a Dragon, a Wolf, or a DragonWolf, but I am not limited to these.

Story of an Ancient Mystic Draconian Wolf:

I am a Mystic Draconian Witch. I say this for several reasons.

I am a writer as well, writing my books and stories. My main magickal characters are called Mystics. The women are Sisters while the men are Wizards. The main character, Young Guardian Bonnie (yes, after me, and I'll explain why in a minute), is an Ancient Mystic, with great powers immeasurable.

She is also who I want to be, at least who I used to want to be. Young Guardian of the Dream World....who is me, of course, only better and more powerful....her 'role' in the stories is to be a Guardian Angel-type Mystic to those in the Realm of Dreams I call Dreamers (people in their waking lives, only asleep) when she patrols there.

The Mystics have five basic powers from birth, which I believe I have in some amount. Empathy (duh), Clairvoyance (another duh), Telepathy (working on it), Premonition (sometimes!) and Telekinesis (I would only wish!)

Hence the reason I started calling myself a Mystic Witch.

Getting to the Realm of Dreams now, and the link it has with Animal Magick. (Realm of Dreams as in my stories, that is).

Page 13: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

I have Ted Andrews' book, "Animal Magick," and use it not only for Magickal workings, but my writing as well. Because in the Realm of Dreams, there are magical animals called Companions. Different species of different races of animal-human hybrids that live there and keep Dreamers Young and Elder happy and out of harm. Well, going on, I'll say that I also have DJ Conway's book "Mystical, Magickal Creatures," along with a lot of other magickal books that have helped me, not only in my writing but my Magickal workings.

Before I even thought of myself as a Witch or a Mystic, I was just me, with these abilities that God gave me...only then I thought of them as curses....now, I know better. One dream I remember having was of when I was working on the beginning of the Dream World Chronicles...my Katherine (balinese cat) character had to have a love interest in order for the story to continue. Well, I thought of a wolf, immediately. Ever since, I've been in love with wolves.

Once the stories were underway in my mind and on paper, the characters were getting interesting...and really opening up my way of thinking.

If I can make my characters do all this cool magic stuff, why can't I do it as well?

That's what made me look into Witchcraft as an answer to my prayers.

Getting back to the Animal Magick books, I have had over the years many Guardians-Guides on my Path. Those that stuck in my mind, I used later in my books, letting them speak for themselves through me and on paper. a Cat, a Wolf, a Raven, a Unicorn, and a Dragon were my Guides that later became characters.

Katherine, the balinese, was one of them. She was the first, to get me out of my shyness and help me thru childhood beatings and life. Wolf, her canine love (had to twist it up, and it worked!), was a guide in many dreams and workings of my own...he's a Timber Wolf. Lord Guardian O'Dell, the Unicorn, was always there with me, guiding me, along with my Guardian Dragon Cyrix, teaching me the ways of the Young Witch. The Raven is a new one I learned about in a past-life reading. I didn't know much about them (there are two) except that they were like Odin's ravens, Hugnin and Mugnin, Thought and Memory.

All those memories and places I'd written about were real. And I would come to incoporate them deep in my Spiritual Path one way or another.

This is where my story gets interesting, and my life and Path lead me back to a time of long ago, of a place I'd written in the stories called the Dragon Lands. A Path that led me to my true-name of Adellandra Dranna Dratianos and my true-mate, Draconis.

Lord Draconis Vilinos Dratianos is the Emperor of the Dragon Nations. When I met him, I was my Lady Guardian self, and fighting with a piece of my nemesis Orthos. He became my

Page 14: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

friend first, then my brother as I found that Dracora, the Countess of the Dragon Lands, was his younger sister. As the days went on, we became more. I began to have feelings for him once he declared his eternal love for me. I started to turn to him for anything my heart desired, between boredom, when I was upset, questions about my true-self and anything I could think of. I turned to him, and he to me.

We are now mated, and he is teaching me a new Path that mingled with the rest. One that I and finding quite intriguing, but darker than my Lighter Path. Draconian, magick of the Old Ways in their truest form, balancing. Now I am For Balance is Always the Key to All.

There's a lot about me and my kind of Craft I practice. I've forgotten a lot, but then, I'm remembering a lot more everyday, like a stream that leads to the river which leads to an ocean called my Magickal Memories.

"Live Strong, Live Free, Live in Peace" -- Motto of Mal'estar, Empire of the Dragon Nations

Creation Stories:A Few collected Creation Stories. One from the Ancient Mystics and the other from Scott Cunningham, a late Pagan Author. Others will come in time, as they're known.

Ancient Mystics Originators' Story:Long ago, before time was, the world was young. Powerful people with Magics of the Ancients ruled. They were the Mystics. The Ancients were proud of the Magic they learned, and rewarded them with a spell that took them to the Realm of Dreams, also known as the Dream Realm.Back on Earth, the Mystics lived in harmony with those without Magic. They learned to heal the wounded, soothing the aches and pains brought by war. They watched over the Earth, using its secrets to act as one with the Ancients.As history predates, the Mystics were soon hated and hunted for their Magic. Lost in a world where their special Magic was banned, the remaining Mystics fled for safety.The last four sister Ancient Mystics, Enchantra, Challandra, Mystica and Jezebel, were caught in what is now called “The Burning Times.” Mortals thought their Magic was witchcraft, and the women were fit to burn at the stake. Rather than burn, the sisters sought refuge in an abandoned cabin deep in the woods. It is there they met up with four Wizard brothers, O’Dell, Orthos, Maxwell, and the newly-titled Lord Byron. Together, their fate was sealed.

Page 15: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

For those Wizard brothers had their own power, able to do great things unwelcome in that time. Sealing a pact and calling the Ancient’s Spell, the eight Originators broke away from the Mortal Realm to their own sanctuary. So the Dream Realm was Originated, and so were evils beyond mortal imagination.As with every group of people, there were differences of opinion. A dark, evil Magic burrowed into every soul in the forms of jealousy, deceit, desire, and pure hatred. It would haunt them the rest of eternity.These are the stories of those eight Originators and their families, whose constant battle between good and evil leaves room for adventure, suspense, drama, and love.Welcome to the Realm of Dreams.

Before Time Was:Wicca-A guide for a Solitary Practitioner" - Scott Cunningham

Before time was, there was The One; The One was all & all was The One. And the vast expanse known as the Universe was The One, all-wise, all-pervading,all-powerful, eternally changing.

And Space moved. The One molded energy into twin forms equal but opposite, fashioningthe Goddess and God from The One and of The One.

The Goddess & God stretched and gave thanks to The One, but darkness surrounded them.They were alone, solitary save for The One.

So they formed energy into gases and gases into suns and planets and moons; Theysprinkled the Universe with whirling globes and so all was given shape by the hands of theGoddess and God. Light arose and the sky was illuminated by a billion suns. and theGoddess and Gods, satisfied by their works, rejoiced and loved, and were one.

Page 16: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

From their union sprang seeds of life, and of the human race, so that we might achieveincarnation upon the Earth.

The Goddess chose the Moon as her symbol, and the God the Sun as his symbol to remindthe inhabitants of Earth of their fashioners.

All are born, live, die and are reborn beneath The Sun and Moon; all things come to passthereunder, and all occurs with the blessings of The One, as has been the way of existencebefore time was.

Creation of the Dweller kin-ClansThose in the Dragon Nations were called, Draconians, and were at war. Countess Dracora went to Lord Guardian O'Dell of the Realm of Dreams for advice. He gave her an Earthbound Spell to take her to the Mortallan Realm with a small band of her people. In the Outer Realm, Dracora renamed herself Shylee, the only Draconian known as “Dragon-kin” Earthbound. She is now known as the Queen of the Dweller kin-Clans. She took four mated pairs with her to the Outer Realm once the Spell was Called. Those mated pairs were known as the “Havens-kin”. The First two Earthbound-Draconian mated pairs were soon known as the “Ancient Watchers”, King Goldenrod and Queen Silver Starchaser. Their clan was known as the “Watcher-kin”. The second pair were the “Ancient Jewels”, Moonstone and Sunstone, who's clan was known as the “Jewel Elder-kin”. The third were Lucius and Marisa. They were Apprentices to those, their clan aptly named the “Apprentice-kin”. Sight unseen, a demonic pair happened to slip through as well when Dracora called the Spell. They would soon be known as “Stalker-kin”, those Turned kin who were as evil as they come. For Stalkers were the main influence for the Realm's vampire stories and legends.From those first kin-mated pairs, came four others. Shape-shifters of the Watchers spawned those called the “Beast-kin”. From Moonstone and Sunstone's stone-magic Jewels came those called the “Essex-kin”. The

Page 17: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

Apprentices spawned two others, a roaming kin-clan from the desert known as “Gypsy-kin”, and India came “Cove-kin”. They were all known as Dwellers because they were forced to 'dwell' within the night. The Mortallan sun threatened their very existances.

Witch's/Wizards' Rules to Live By:Collections from various sources, compiled and put into most basic of forms. Rules are Rules, and are usually not meant to be bent or broken. The first set are from a Pagan Yahoo! Group, the second and third sets, "Code of Chivalry" and "For Magick and Wizardry" are from Oberon Zell-Ravenheart's book, "Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard." Oberon put them very nicely, I think, therefore I try to live by them.

13 Goals of a Witch:. Know yourself. . Know your craft. . Learn. . Apply knowledge with wisdom. . Achieve balance. . Keep your words in good order. . Keep your thoughts in good order. . Celebrate life! . Attune with the cycles of the earth.. Breathe and eat correctly. . Exercise the body. . Meditate. . Honor the God and Goddess

Code of Chivalry:The Code of Chivalry was the Rule of the Knights in the Middle Ages, who were formally sworn to uphold it as the first true Champions of Justice. It was said to have been first established by King Arthur for the Knights of the Round Table. Here are its ten most important rules.

1: Be True to your Faith2: Stand up for your Beliefs3: Defend the Weak4: Love your Country

Page 18: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

5: Show Courage against Opposition6: Oppose Evil7: Do your Duty8: Speak Truth and keep your Word9: Be Generous to All10: Be the Champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil

For Magick and Wizardry:In Magick and Wizardry, there are rules. The Wizard controls his/her life and changes their destiny through interaction with the Universe within all of its dimensions. Here is a list of Rules for Magick and Wizardry.

1: Magick is real2: Know yourself3: The best way to predict the future is to create it.4: Question authority5: Magick is both an art and an experimental science6: Be careful of what you do or say7: Intention controls Results8: Don't invoke what you can't banish9: Always consider the options10: The job isn't done until you've put away the tools and cleaned up the mess11: Keep silent regarding a Magickal work for 24 hours, lest your analysis create doubt, therefore weakening the Intention that binds your spell

From the Army: LDRSHIP:If I didn't learn anything while in the Army, I learned this, and kept it with me in my mind and heart. Applied to Magick and Witchcraft, LDRSHIP Packs a huge punch!

The Oaths:Herein Lies all the Oaths I have taken, so far. Those Easiet to remember, from the Ancient Mystic to the Blood-Oath to bind two together in blood, and last, the Crusader of the Realms Oath. *my personal favorite*

The Mystic Oath:These words are found on the inside cover of every Mystic’s own Spell-book. Of course, I don't always follow the "Rules", not even those of the Ancient Mystic lines.

Don’ts to Mystic Magic: Do’s to Mystic Magic:Don’t hurt others Do learn and practice frequentlyDon’t mess with love Do learn and use Candle MagicDon’t mess with time Do watch your wordsDon’t use mind-control Do keep secretDon’t use for revenge Do keep a Spell-bookDon’t indulge in Dark Magic Do be aware of yourself

The Mystic Oath:I, (state your name), being the (son-daughter) of an Elder Mystic, (Sister-Brother) (Their name), do solemnly swear to abide by the Mystic Rules when being taught to control the Magic. I will serve as a Mystic (son-daughter) until the day I become an Elder. The story of the Realm of Dreams has been told to me, and I am in full understanding of my separate, but important destiny. The Mystic Sisters, Enchantra, Challandra, Mystica, and Jezebel, along with the Wizards, Lord Guardian O’Dell, Lord Byron, and Lord Maximaniac, will stay a part of my life and being. I will ask their permission before going against their wishes.

By the Power I have inside, The Mystic Magic will grow. Along with my lifeline, I’ll learn all I need to knowThis is my Mystic Oath.

The Crusaders of the Realms Oath:In order to be an official Crusader of the Realms, you must go through this Oath with Elder Crusaders and an Ancient Mystic to witness.

“This bond of truth cannot be spoken.“What is between us remains unbroken.“I take this Oath as a Dream Realm Crusader,“With Young Guardian as my witness, to“Trust in one another,“Have faith in myself and my mission,

Page 20: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

“Bring hope to those with naught,“Fight with honor and justice,“Help those in need, whenever deemed,“Fight only the enemy, fairly and justly,“Never turning my back on my life’s mission,“To maintain peace in the Realm of Dreams, “And All the Realms in All the Worlds,“From this moment on, until eternity.”

The Blood-Oath:I first thought of this when I was a child. I used this to bind Aaron "The Unicorn" and his twin "Amethyst Fairy" to me before I left the Orphanage. My Ancient Mystic blood gave them the Unicorn Magic they are now known for, and also gave them official Mystic status among the Family. I also used this to share my Mystic Healer's power with my twin Adarra *Then called Jenni*, when she needed it most. I now use it for every blood-binding I do.

Dagger in hand, cut into each the skins of those that will be bound, so a thin line of blood seeps through. Clasp together hands, saying the following for each.

"What's mine is yours, and yours is mine."Part of mine now yours until the end of time."

Collections:No Book of the Light would be complete without certain collected works. The Charges of the God, Goddess, Dark God and Dark Goddess; Magickal Properties of Color, The Wheel of the Year, Witches Go Round In Circles, just to name a few.

The Charge of the Horned GodI am he who stands at the gate of the cycle of life and death, I carry you to the goddess to be reborn again, even as I bless the harvest and become One with the goddess to make it grow. When the night wind howls at Samhain I shall lead the wild hunt to rid the land of corruption and evil so the Goddess who is my consort may sleep the winter months in safety.

I am the joy of the awakening of the spring, the sadness of death and passing, the brightly blooded blade of the hunt, I give to thee your emotions, love, anger, peace, hope...all these are my gifts to thee as you and

Page 21: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

I worship She who is my consort and handfasted companion and the Mother of All.

Wherever the forest grows dark and powerful, wild and free , shall you find me, and I will heed your call if you utter it for I am the guardian of all that is , all that was and all that might yet be. My antlers and my blade are ever sharp as I watch over you . I shall join you at your dancing and merrymaking for I am the Lord of the Dance and the light within darkness, and my passion has remained untamed since the dawn of time and will so remain.

You may worship me by giving thanks to that which has died to feed you, by remembering your animal nature on the dark nights and letting the call of the wild be heard by you still, whenever you stand, enthralled by the beauty of the setting sun or gazing down from a mountain peak you give thanks to me and She who is my eternal partner.

~~Shadowdancer~~

The Charge of the GoddessListen to the words of the Great mother, she who of old was also called among men Artemis, Astarte, Athene, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Danu, Arianrhod, Isis, Bride and by many other names.

Whenever you have need of me, once in the month and better it be when the moon is full, gather together in some secret place and adore the spirit of me who am queen of all witches. There shall you assemble, you who wish to learn all sorcery, yet have not won its deepest secrets; to you I will teach things as yet unknown. And you shall be free from slavery; and as a sign that you are truly free you may be naked in your rites; and you shall dance, sing, feast, make music and love all in my praise. For my law is love unto all things. Keep pure your highest ideal, strive ever towards it; let naught stop you or turn you aside.

For mine is the secret door that opens upon the land of youth, and mine is the cup of the wine of life, and the Cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the Holy Grail of immortality. I am the gracious Goddess, who gives the gift of joy unto the heart of man. Upon Earth I give the knowledge of the spirit

Page 22: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

eternal. Beyond death I give peace, freedom. I demand no sacrifice, for I am the mother of all living, and my love is poured out upon the Earth. I, who am the beauty of the green earth, the white moon among the stars, the mystery of the waters and the desire of the heart of man, call unto your soul. Arise and come unto me for I am the soul of nature which is life to the universe.

From me all things proceed, and to me all things must return.

Let my worship be in the heart that rejoices; for all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence within you. And you who think to seek for me, know that seeking and yearning shall avail you not, unless you know this mystery; if that which you seek, you find not within, then you will never find it without. For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning; and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.

~~Adapted, original piece by Doreen Valiente~~

Charge of the Dark Goddess The Dark Goddess speaks to us, through the mouths of Lilith, Kali, Tiamet, Hekate, Nix, the Black Madonna, Nemesis and Morgaine.

I am the Darkness behind and beneath the shadows. I am the absence of air that awaits at the bottom of every breath. I am the Ending before Life begins again, the Decay that fertilizes the Living. I am the Bottomless Pit, the never-ending struggle to reclaim that which is denied. I am the Key that unlocks every Door. I am the Glory of Discovery, for I am that which is hidden, secluded and forbidden

Come to me at the Dark Moon -- see that which can not be seen, face the terror that is yours alone. Swim to me through the blackest oceans to the center of your greatest fears-- the Dark God and I will keep you safe. Scream to us in terror, and yours will be the Power to Forbear.

Page 23: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

Think of me when you feel pleasure, and I will intensify it, until the time when I may have the greatest pleasure of meeting you at the Crossroads Between the Worlds.

Charge of The Dark GodListen to the words of the Dark God, who was of old called Jakchos, Donn, Anubis, Hades, Setesh, Hoder, and by many other names: I am the shadow in the bright day; I am the reminder of mortality at the height of living. I am the neverending veil of Night where the Star Goddess dances. I am the Death that must be so that Life may continue, for behold, Life is immortal because the living must die. I am the strength that protects, that limits; I am the power that says No, and NO further, and That Is Enough. I am the things that cannot be spoken of, and I am the laughter at the edge of Death. Come with me into the warm enfolding dark; feel my caresses in the hands, in the mouth, in the body of one you love, and be transformed. Gather in the moonless night and speak in unknown tongues; the Dark Mother and I will listen. Sing to us and cry out, and the Power will be yours to wield. Blow me a kiss when the sky is dark, and I will smile, but no kiss return; for my kiss is the final one for all mortal flesh.

Wheel of the YearSabbats - Eight Days of Power in the Pagan Religion

Imbolc February 2

The Goddess recovers from giving birth to the God. The lengthening periods of light awaken her. The God's strength is increasing and He is now a young, lusty boy. The warmth of the Sun fertilizes the earth (the Goddess), causes seeds to germinate and sprout. And so Imbolc celebrates the earliest stirrings of Spring. It is a time of purification, creativity, and inspiration, a welcoming of change from the old to the new. This is a traditional time for Wiccan initiations and dedications.

Ostaracirca March 21

Spring EquinoxMarks the first day of true Spring. The hours of day and night are equal. The Goddess fully regains her strength and and envelops the earth with fertility. Light is overtaking darkness, and the young God is now maturing. The slowness of Winter is taken over by the fruitful bustle of Spring. Ostara is a time for beginnings, action, and planting opportunities for the future.

BeltaneApril 30Celebrated as May Day

Marks the emergence of the young God into manhood. Nature flourishes and He is stirred by the abundance of energy. The God desires the Goddess. They fall in love and unite. The Goddess becomes pregnant, which ensures new life after the harvest. Beltane celebrates vitality, passion, love, and desires consummated.

Litha or Midsummercirca June 21

Summer SolsticeThe longest day of the year. The God is at the peak of his power, as is all of nature's bounty. The Earth is awash in the fertility of the Goddess and God. It is the high time of the Sun and is marked with festivals of fire. In the past, bonfires were leapt to encourage fertility, purification, health and love. Litha is a classic time for magic of all kinds.

Lammas or LughnasadhAugust 1

Is the time of the first harvest, when the plants of Spring drop their fruits or seeds. Summer is waning; the nights grow longer. So too the God begins to lose His strength. He becomes the God of sacrifice, being cut down in the fields.

Maboncirca September 21

Autumn EquinoxOnce again day and night are equal. The God prepares to take His journey into the unseen, towards death. This is the completion of the harvest begun at Lammas, when the fields are cleared of their bounty. Nature draws back, readying

Samhain October 31Celebrated as Halloween

Marks the Pagan New Year. In the past, this was the time when animals were slaughtered to ensure food for the through the depths of Winter. Identified with the animals, the God falls as well to ensure continuing existence. The veil between the

Yule

circa December 21

Winter SolsticeThe shortest day of the year. The Goddess gives birth to her Son, the God. Since the God is symbolized by the Sun, this marks the point of the year when the God is reborn as well. Thus,

Page 25: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

The Goddess watches in sorrow and joy as She realizes the God is dying, yet lives on inside Her as Her child. Lammas is a time for giving thanks for what we have and making offerings of gratitude. It is a reminder that nothing in the universe is constant.

for winter and its time of rest. The Goddess nods in the weakening Sun, though fire burns within Her womb. She feels the presence of the God even as He wanes.

worlds of life and death is said to be thin on this night. Samhain is a time of reflection, looking back over the last year, coming to terms with death, and honoring ancestors.

Wiccans light fires or candles to welcome the Sun's returning light. The Goddess, slumbering through the Winter of Her labour, rests after the delivery. Wiccans celebrate the return journey of the Sun, and the life it will bring. Yule is seen as a reminder that death is followed by rebirth.

Sabbats - Eight Days of Power in the Pagan Religion.

Witches Go Round In Circles!Wiccans go around in Circles! Worship and magic both are done in what are called Magical Circles. The purpose of a circle is to separate the people within it from the outside world. They are outside of time and space. Time passes differently inside a circle, and it tends to be warmer inside than outside. Each Circle is divided into four Quarters. Each Quarter faces a direction. Each Quarter also corresponds to a time of day, a state of being, a season, etc. This is a table of those correspondences.

Collections II: Spells and Chants:Of course, though I don't claim to have written any of these, these had to be here as well. Those I've used at least twice, so I know they work. For me, anyway.

Blue Justice Spell 1 A Shortened Version, from Eileen Holland’s The Wicca Handbook

Celtic Candle-Burning Spell:– from D.J. Conway’s Celtic Magic

Page 28: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

Hold hands on each side of the lit candle, mentally pouring your thoughts of the goal into it.

“Candle of Power, Candle of Might,“Create my wishes/desires on this night.“Power, stream from this candle’s fire,“Bring to me my heart’s desire.“My words have strength, the victory’s won,“So say I, this Spell is done!”

Leave candle in a safe place to burn out completely.

Mental and Physical Health SpellJames Kambos, February 23rd, 2003From Full Moon Paradise and Llewellyn

Outside my front door, the yellow-crocus and snowdrops are blooming now. And the wrens are flying to my window box, wondering if it would make a good home; they know, like we do, that February is a time of renewal. Let this period of change inspire you to refresh your mind and your body with a health-boosting ritual. To start, on your altar place a white candle in the center, then light it and say: “I light this candle to renew my spirit.”

To the left, light a yellow candle, then say:

“This flame fires my imagination.”

Lastly, light an orange candle on the right while saying:

“My body is strong and healthy.”

Thank the candles, and extinguish them. Now you’re ready for the season of light to return. Warning SpellFrom Eileen Holland’s The Wicca Handbook. This is a great way to relieve stress about a certain someone who's been pissing you off lately. Great for Karma, too, as it doesn't go against the “Rede”.

Page 29: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

Blood turn black and flesh turn blueI will curse you if you force me toBy the left hand and the unclean foodI’ll curse your eyes, I’ll curse your liesI’ll call down a plague of fliesBlood go black and flesh go blueEvil from me and back to youMy soul clean and yours on fireMess with a witch and get burned, liar!

Witch's/Wizard’s Naming Ceremony– from Oberon Zell-Ravenheart’s Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard

When you’ve finally a chosen a magickal name for yourself, you should write it into the following spell (and in your Magickal Journal). Then, stand in front of a mirror, look yourself in the eye, and say:

“I name myself ________________.“______________ do I know.“I am now _________________.“And what I say three times is so!“By all the powers of land and sea“By all the might of Moon and Sun,“As I do will, so mote it be;“Seal the spell and be it done!”

The Wiccan RedeI don't go by this Rede totally, being I'm not on the Wiccan Path. I'm a Pagan, so most of it is ok, but not the rest. This copy of it was copied from my lessons in the Correllian Tradition, which has now changed its name, due to recent events with their Rev. Care of Nimue of Myst.

"Bide the Wiccan laws ye mustin perfect love and perfect trust.

Live ye shall and let to live,Fairly take and fairly give.

Page 30: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

Cast the circle thrice aboutTo keep unwelcome spirits out.

To bind the spell true every timeLet the spell be spake in rhyme.

Soft of eye and light of touchSpeak ye little, listen much.

Deosil go by waxing moon,Chanting out the Witches Rune.

Widdershins go by waning moon,Chanting out a baneful tune.

When the Lady's moon is newKiss the hand to her times two.

When the moon rides at her peakThen your heart's desire seek.

When the wind blows from the East,Expect the new and set the feast.

When the wind comes from the SouthLove will kiss thee on the mouth.

When the wind blows from the Westdeparted souls may have no rest.

Head the North wind's mighty gale.Lock the door and trim the sail.

Nine woods in the cauldron go,burn them fast and burn them slow.

Elder be the lady's tree.

Page 31: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

Burn it not or cursed ye'll be.

When the wheel begins to turn,Let the Beltane fires burn.

When the wheel hath turned to Yule,Light a log, the Horned One rules.

Heed ye flower, bush and tree,And by the Lady, Blessed Be.

Where the rippling waters flow,Cast a stone and truth you'll know.

When ye have and hold a need,Harken not to others greed.

With a fool no season spend,Nor be counted as his friend.

Merry meet and merry part,Bright the cheeks and warm the heart.

Mind the threefold law ye should,Three times bad and three times good.

When misfortune is anow,Wear the star upon thy brow.

True in love must ye be,Lest thy love be false to thee.

Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill,'An it harm none, do what ye will"

Witch's/Wizard’s Rules to Live By – Five Points of Wiccan Belieffrom online, shortened from original source

Page 32: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

The Wiccan Rede: “An’ it harm none, do as you will”."If an action will cause harm, physically, emotionally, or mentally, to another person or one's Self, refrain from doing it. Strive to always be helpful and never willingly cause strife or harm to befall someone. Weigh your actions against each other, would you wish your actions taken against you? Take no action you would not wish to receive."The Law of Return: “Karmic Law”“What you do affects what happens to you. If you do good, good is going to happen to you; if you do evil, that'll happen too... If you're a better, nicer person, you have more true friends. When you have more friends, you have a support network to pick you up and set you on your feet again. It works in the other direction, too....what you do, good or bad, will come back upon you three-fold.” The Ethic of Self-Responsibility: “Taking Charge of Your Own Affairs”“We make our own destiny, and set up most of our own "trials and tribulations". "I am my own person, I am not a slave to my desires, nor am I slave to a person, drug or god. No being controls me but me." Self-responsibility requires that we ask for help when we need it, that we be prepared to go to whatever lengths necessary to be responsible for who we are and what we do.”The Ethic of Constant Improvement: “Education is a Lifetime Achievement.”“In Wicca, we seek be "ever growing," like the bardic law. The basest of these improvements are taken care of by the Ethic of Self-Responsibility, but extending that responsibility beyond the inner self, falls into this realm. Teaching and preaching tolerance, racial harmony and reverence for art and history are also a part of this ethic, and living one's life toward peace is vital. Only by being constant in our learning, and eclecticism, do we prevent intolerance.” The Ethic of Attunement: “Being ‘one’ with the Gods and Goddesses.”“Attunement, the act of becoming in-tune with divinity is the purpose behind the majority of ritual. In Wicca, we believe in three groupings of divinity:1. The Self is divine.2. The Gods/other powers are divine.3. The Universe itself is divine.1. The Divine Self (thou art god) is expressed within The Ethic of Self- Responsibility. No one is in control of the Self except for the creator of the Self, the person that "owns" the body. We see ourselves as divine, therefore, we know that we can do anything. Magick becomes possible through faith in the Self, because faith is magical...Our rites of Attunement to the divine self include the practice of Ritual, and occasionally, High Magick, but also includes meditation, dance, drumming and anything else that makes us feel "in touch" with our Selves. 2. The Divinity of the Gods, or the "Other Powers" defies immediate explanation as do the gods themselves. In Wicca, our gods are more like parents, the Divine Father and the Great Mother, and less like the fury-fueled jealous God of Christianity. Our rites of Attunement to the Gods are nearly all celebratory in nature, with the more intensive rituals combining

Page 33: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

the divinity of the gods with the divinity of the Universe in worship of the lunar and harvest cycles. 3. The Divinity of the Universe is subdivided into three groups. In Gaeism, the Planet Earth is a creature and each individual being, plant, animal or mineral is a part of that being, which is usually, but not always, named for the Goddess Gaea or Gaia. In Animism, each thing be it a windstorm or a rock, has a spirit of its own. In Cyclic Totality, or Cyclicism, it is the laws of the Universe which are divine, be they the cycles of celestial decay, or the harvests, or the birth-death-rebirth of the nitrogen cycle.”

Wiccaning:– from BOS CD-ROM, by Sapphire

On the first night after a baby is born, or on the same night that the birth takes place, the mother or father should take the infant out under the stars. The child should first be held up to the sky, saying:

“Oh, Lady of the Starry Heavens, wise All-Father,Behold this lovely child, ________.Conceived and brought forth in love.”

Place the child on the ground, hands under the head, briefly, saying:

“Hail Earth, Mother of All.This is my infant, my love, and my jewel.Bless and protect him/her, granting your enduring and Eternal strength and steadfastness.May he/she ever have a spiritThat seeks the stars, and roots deep within thy loving breast.”

One should then clasp the child close, reveling over the ritual and future with that child.

Chants and Mantras:Ah yes, what would we be without music? Paganism and all have the gifts of music and all would like to share. I got the lyrics to these from either a pagan band “Inkubus Sukkubus” or a website, along with the melodies that go with them. I love to sing!

Call to the Earth’s PowerJune 3, 2005Adella Moon DragonWolfAs the Young Guardian

Before doing this, meditate…Go into the woods with your Guardian-Guide and lead up to the stream…leave all your worries and cares behind as an offering to the River of Regret. When you feel you’re ready, go ahead and open your eyes, take a deep breath and go outside.

Hands place firmly on the ground, fingers spaced evenly out, close your eyes and imagine a power of light flowing from the earth to you, and a power of dark leading from you to the earth… the former would be for the good energies back into you and the latter would be from the bad energies flowing out of you to be reused in the earth in another form. As you do this, say the following…

Page 38: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

“I call upon the Earth and say, this is power, this is my way,“I call upon the Earth and see, this is power, this is me.”

Continue chanting under your breath, then aloud as each repetition of the chant is called. Until you feel refreshed and anew, and need grounding food to rejuvenate any unused energies.

Conquering Deepest Fears and Secrets-- Adella DragonStar

Page 41: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

Uses "Dragon's Meditation" from The Celtic Dragon Tarot

Start with the "Dragon's Meditation" from D.J. Conway's "The Celtic Dragon Tarot"Get comfortable, take deep breaths, concentrating on your breathing. In your mind, envision yourself in a peaceful valley, at the edge of a cliff looking down on the glistening waters below. Throw all cares and worries into the river/ocean, turning your back on them once finished. They're gone from your mind, and no longer exist. In front of you is your Guardian Dragon, waiting for your call. Now that your mind is focused and clear, ask the following:

"Show me what I wish to see,The darkest secrets haunting me.Give me the answer of Knowledge true,Show me what I have to do.Balance of mind, soul and self,Is the key to absolute health.Help me conquer on the way,The deepest secret to the day.The path is long, and splits in two,Guide me Dragon, show me what to do.

Let your Guardian Dragon show you the way in your mind, or open your eyes and let it show you in your life.

Darkness Reign Chant:Adella DragonWolf, 14Nov2006. I wrote this one in my head when I found a certain someone was fooling around on me. It's not Light, not by far, but it does belong here as well.

Black as Night, Bright as DayHow dare you make me feel this way?Black is death, black is pitchI'll kill you, you son of a bitch!

Dragon's Meditation of the Elements:Adella Moon DragonStar, March 27, 2005

Close your eyes, deep breaths. Relax.Open your inner-eyes and senses as the scene opens and unfolds before you. You're in a wood, leaves rustle in the gentle spring winds around you. The smells, the sights, the sounds, the textures come alive around you. The flowers, the trees, the birds chirping, the very texture of the leaves. Everything is awake around you, and you feel a certain energy in this forested wood.

There are three paths marked on the ground. One, to the far left is barely noticible, not very clearly drawn in the dirt. The middle one is beaten and worn, it would seem a favorite path for many to take. The one on the right is covered in leaves and mud, but still there. You are in the middle, contemplating which one to take when you hear a rustling behind you.

Sensing someone behind you, you look and see a dragon.A Dragon! And he - she - it's smiling at you, in a knowing grin that tells of knowledge in that mind of theirs. The dragon nods his head in a hello before speaking.

"There are many roads traveled, and many that still need to be." The dragon says. "Follow the path of intuition and let it be your guide."

"Which path shall I walk?"

The dragon shakes its head. "You will not learn unless you open your eyes to that which is about you. I'll guide you to the answer you seek."

You mount the dragon's back and prepare to fly.

The first place the dragon takes you is to the middle of the forest.It's a clearing, where no trees have been for centuries it would seem. In the middle of this clearing is a single sapling, a young tree. You jump off the dragon's back to investigate. Once seeing the sapling up close, you see it was recently planted, for dirt was still around the fragile little tree's roots.

Page 43: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

"Tell me how it survives." The dragon asks of you.

"The sun shines on it, giving it light, the rain falls upon it, giving it nourishment, the earth shelters it, mothering it, and the trees around it give it shelter and shade, protecting it from the elements."

"Aha!" The dragon laughs. "The elements. Strange things, elements. You, young one, have just learned about the Earth. Hop aboard and I'll show you more."

Again, you mount the dragon's back and prepare to fly. In midair, it flaps its massive wings.

"Look around you. What do you see?"

"Clouds, birds flying in the distance, the sun."

"What's more?" The dragon asks. "What do you SEE? Open your eyes, young one and SEE."

"I feel the air and wind."

"And?" It prods.

"The stars, the trees reaching for the sun. What more?"

The dragon laughs and jerks as it plummets to the ground below. Before it can crash, it lifts up and soars to the sky again.

"Feel that?" The dragon asks. "That is Freedom! Freedom of flight, minds, everything around you is free. There are no limits in the skies. It has no beginning and no end."

The dragon slows its flight as it leads you to a river. It descends and takes a drink.

"Water." You whisper, but it hears you.

Page 44: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

"Right." The dragon supplied. "Tell me about it."

"Its cleansing, nourishing, warm and wet."

"Good start." The dragon said, nodding. "Anything else you can think of?"

"It houses all sea creatures, feeds plants and animals alike, relaxing to listen to, and shows our reflections on the surface."

The dragon said. "Wonderful observations. For a start. Now you will see what fire is like."

The dragon takes you to the skies again, to a forest fire. Not very large, but enough to do some damage.

"What happened?"

"A hunter left the bonfire going when he left. He believed it would smother itself out." The dragon explains. "What can you tell me by this display?"

"Fire is fickle. It can destroy, yet leave in its path a new beginning. It can be dangerous if not handled correctly. There are a lot of things I see by this display, but there's more to it than that."

"Tell me what else you see."

"It's warm and inviting, lets you see in the dark, and kills bacteria when cooking food."

"Do you wish to learn more about the elements?"

"Yes."

The dragon takes you where you began, at the opening to the forest of trees and the three paths in the ground. As you dismount, the dragon tells you the following.

Page 45: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

"Each path is different, yet its all the same. It's not the destination that matters, it's the journey. The choices you make impact your life and how you live it. Knowing this, do you have any questions as I leave you?"

You smile. "Yeah. Which path to I take?"

The dragon disappears, and you walk the path your intuition pulls you.

The scene disappears from your mind and you open your eyes and take a breath. Now, how do you feel?

Which path do you take?

Quick-calls to the Element of Earth.

Earth's Fire, Know my desireEarth's Flame, Know thy NameEarth's All, Hear my Call

Energy Focus for Divination-- Adella DragonStar

With the divination tool in hand, close your eyes and imagine it surrounded by a white light of energy. Keep that in mind as you chant:

Holding the image in your mind, open your eyes and continue with the divination.

Goddess of the Night (Invocation)-- Adellandra Dranna Dratianos

Mirror image stares back at me....this is what I think when I see the silver in my own eyes.

I am the Goddess of the NightI am the Goddess of the LightI am the Moon and the MagicAnd all that it encompassesI am the Life that breathesI am the Love that bleedsI am the Goddess of the Night

Half-Chaos Within Chants:-- Adellandra Dratianos, 4Dec2006. This is the Chant I came up with when I wished to 'open the gates' to my own Chaos. Since I am a being of the Light, I cannot FULLY Become Chaotic, not by far. So it's Half-Chaos.

Half-Chaos Chant:Black as Night, Bright as DayBanish Half the Light AwayThough I'll have no Heart or SoulLet Half the Chaos take Control

Return From Chaos Chant:Light is Bright, Dark is GrayReturn from Chaos within this dayReturn to me my Heart and SoulLet the Light within take Control

FULL CHAOS WITHIN Chant:Very Dangerous!! Do not attempt under any circumstances!

Black as Night, Bright as DayBanish All the Light AwayNo longer have any Heart or SoulLet Full Chaos Within take Control!

Interpretation of the Elements:-- Adella DragonWolf, "YoungGuardiansMysticRealm", a Yahoo! Group, *now, AdellaDratianosRealm*

First off, I don't claim to know everything about anything, let along anything about everything else. I just am. As of today, this is my view of the four elements, plus one. Later, I may (and probably will) look at this again and burst out laughing, think...WTF was I thinking!? But for now, quickly I'll go over what I know NOW.

Earth to Air, Fire to Water, Akasha the Spirit of All... Five Elements are the basis for all live on earth. Each impacting each other.

To begin at the beginning.

Earth

Page 48: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

Plainly, the very planet we live on, the very 'womb' we came from and where existance is nothing without. But what do Witches mean by Earth? The Mother or All, who Nurtures. She is Nature, in all Her Wonder and Fury. And that's just on a good day!

Air

Winds and Skies, Air blows, flows, who knows? It carries, warms, cools, sends, descends, transcends (okay, enough 'sends' words...). The air is what we breathe, sure, but what else is it for? Lingering scents are carried to our noses through the air...but that's not what most Witches mean by Air.

Fire

I've pretty much summed my definitions of Fire in the following Poem.

Fire is.

Fire is power, fire is graceFire is destruction, fire is raceRace against time, race against reasonFire is the blaze of all four seasonsWarmth and comfort, light and lifeFire is energy brightWhere there's fire, there's flameThe burning bright reasonsFor life and fame.The candle burns, the memory turnsFire within every life learns.Fire the element is awash with delightFire Burns, Fire's Flame, Fire's bright the nightwhen one's lost in dark's name.Fire to the earth is rebirth and flightMoves quick to destroy, warms quick when lit right.When man wrongs man, there's fire to fightDestruction of old and dead leaves stench of the Fire's Flight.

Those are just a few stanzas I can think of that help me describe toyou what I believe Fire is to me, on my level anyway.

Water

Cleansing, comforting, water....to swim, to bathe, to drink...so refreshing! But why is it so refreshing...not just the molecules of H2O, but more. We can freeze it into ice cubes, make

Page 49: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

Koolaid out of it, ad infinitum...one of the Earth's natural resources, water is a lot of things. A Witch can add salt (to represent Earth) to it and make a Blessing potion. Like I said, many things.

Akasha

The Spirit is one and All...the Center of being, this spiritual essence of all beings that live on earth...the very life of us. Some think of spirit as ghosts, those beings who have passed on to the Summerlands, or those not able to find their way 'home'....others think spirit is our own soul-spirit. They're right. All of them.

Ishanar Reborn! InvocationOn the Night of the Blood Moon, October 7th, 2006, the birth of the Dragon Nations' Ishanar was reborn, by the hands of Lord Draconis and myself, his Lady Adellandra, for I carried with me the Spirit of Ishanar within my Spirit Crystal.

"Lady Luna, I call to you, come and cleanse these charms with your magic, for strength and protection."

Kneel and meditate, with charms at your chest. Imagine taking the Moon's Magic into you and your charms, a bright white light surrounding you.

Stand, raising the charms up once more. "As Above,"

Kneel again, touching the Charms to the ground. "So below."

With four other cards, close the circle around the picture, saying and thinking:

I send the power of (card) to you, so you may (what does it do)

If need be, use another card to give yourself strength or any other help you need in order to send the message. Tap each card, all eight, with your wand, thinking of the loved one and sending each separate message. Go clockwise, for positivity. After that, hold your wand in your hand, close your eyes, think of the loved one and send the message. Be sure to keep the picture of the loved one in your mind. When finished, tap again, clockwise, saying:

I gave you (power of card)

For each. To make it more powerful, if you wish, you can stare at the picture and think the message to them. As you stare, your wand is touching it.

So Mote it Be!

Close the circle with the Mystic's Spell (or whatever rhyme you wish to use to close the circle.) Be sure to go in the opposite direction to close it.

Adellandra's Magickal Poetry:

Ballad of Spirit and Shadows (Myth in Poem Form):The Ancient Mystics have two gods that fell deeply in love with each other, Spirit and Shadows. This Poem states their story. (For those who have been paying attention, I, Adellandra Dranna Dratianos, am The Ancient Mystic's Goddess of Spirit, and Draconis is Shadows.)

The Ballad of Spirit and Shadows-- Adellandra Dratianos 30Sept2006

From the Ancient Mystic Gods so FairCame a balanced love so pure of a pairOne from the Light, Silver and Bright

One from the Darkness, Chaos and NightTheirs was the Love of Purest Desires

Theirs was the Balance of Life and Fires

She was Spirit, a Being of the LightHe was Shadows, a Being of the Night

Each yearned for something different and thenWithin her the Darkness, within him a Friend

They came together, a Love so PureWithin the Light and the Night they Endure

Passion's Fires from Dragon's FlameEach calling the other's names

"Spirit, my Love," He exlaimed unto she,The Bright and Silver one so Free, "I love you

With thine own heart, my soul, my love, we will never part.""Shadows, dearest," She purred to her Night, "I love you

As well, for you are my all, for throws of love with you did I Fall""A love like ours will never be forsaken," She said,

"Nor from each other our souls will be taken"

And so they were for centuries above

Page 58: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

With the Ancient Mystics Gods did they loveBut with each passing gone their brethren were covetous

And green-eyed with jealousy of something they couldn't mussOne day the Mighty Origin of Fates did appear

And tore their Souls from each other dear"Shadows my dearest heart so true, fear not" Spirit supplied.

"For I am always with you. Think of me in darkest hours,Think of me in your darkest of powers, and IWill be there instantly, for they will soon see,

The Gods themselves will never separate you from me!"

They were Realmborn then, in two separate worldsHe a Draconian and she a dragonwolf girlThey eventually found each other again,

Realmbound for Darkness needed his FriendRealmbound for Spirit needed her Mate

For completion and Balance they did partakeOnce the Gods above they did see,

They were not happy they were not free

Once more did The Origin of Fates stepped inBrought Visions to the girl, took away her friend

Separated and made to suffer in remorseShe thought the hell of it was her fault, of course

As for Shadows, he was strong, but the Chaos was strongerAnd War of the Dragon Nations did rage on

Without the Love that had been his heart and soulThere was no more peace, there was no more control

The Ancient Mystic Brethren Gods, they felt compunctionWhat had they done, with their jealous action?

How could they have been so wrong, in being green-eyed all along?They should have been happy for Shadows and Spirit

For they had found love where no one else would hear it.In order to rectify their jealous misdeed, they told all to take heed

For one day, the two would find each other againand the Chaos of Shadows will be with the Light of his Lover Friend

Page 59: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

It did not take long for the Ancient Mystics Gods planTo come to fruition, for Fates to take hand.

To bring back the Silver Light of Spirit to HeWho once let the Destruction and Chaos Run Free

To bring back the Darkness of Night to SheWho was swept away by the Fates for her to see

Once a Dragonwolf now a Mystic girlStuck now in three different worlds

The Once-Djinn High Lord O'Dell intervenedThe Mystic girl was more than what she seemed.

He made her his successor as Young GuardianAnd Trained her with magics so she could return once again

She was soon given Goddess Status againShe was the Goddess of Spirit, a helping hand of a friend

Taught of the Special Magics within her soulTaught to tame the Wildness and within it, Control

On a chance meeting with the Dragon's EmperorShe happened to Feel something in her heart and soul stir

A whisper of a beat so wild and untamed, who was thisMale to make her feel this way, what was his name?

A Simple kiss opened up her eyes, for somethingWonderful, it became quite a surprise

She was his Spirit, and the Dragon's Fire awokeHe was the Shadows, wrapped in a Darkness cloak

The two were one once more, as their souls were balanceHers was the Love unlike any other, and he was in a trance

She could no longer be with anyone but Him, her heart desiredThe Chaos, the Darkness, of His Dragon's Fire within

He could no longer love anyone but her, his soul reawakenedTo the Love, the Light, the Spirit she'd partaken

A Final decree to their Brethren they criedNo one would come between them would live if they tried

No one will live to see the light of day,that sought to take their mate away

Page 60: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

From that day forward, the Gods and the Fates would FeelHow true of a love Spirit and Shadows had, for it was real

The Truest of Loves, of heart, Soul and Desire,Of Honor and Spirit and Balance in the Dragon's Fire

In the Distance -- Magically Revised (Poem):

In the Distance – Revised 3-25-05, night of the Storm Moon

Distant drummers play their song, in hopes someone will listenIt is the beat that guides our path, and the bells of truth that ring it.

In the distance lies a goal. It's up to us to reach it.That someday we may take control, and have the strength to teach it.

In the distance there is a path, two different beats of drums.The beaten path is rough to ride, but the smooth one is what comes.

Distant drummers move to music, that only they can hear.If you take the time to listen, their tune is truly clear.

Each of us is different, each of us is one.But in the natural order of things, we are all of the same sun.Is there a way to distinguish, or stop what=s wrong in light.

The answer, no, there is no one that can say what=s wrong or right.

Distant drummers play their song, in hopes someone will sing it.There is a beat that guides our path, we only have to seek it.In the distance lays a common dream, where everyone is nice.There is no prejudice or hate, and are no deaths each night.

Distant singers sing a song, in hopes for a better day.It is the song of life, to teach our children, so they can learn and play.

In the distance, there are dreams and goals, to be found, tried, and true.For life is a lesson we must live, and cannot ever be through.

Until our Summerland day arrives, we continue to reach for the stars.The best way to get through life is to be exactly who you are.

No one can seek your inner Self, but you and you alone.Let the elements be your guide, and may they become your own.

Page 61: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

In the distance, chanting is heard, from a Solitary soulAnother lifestyle to unearth, another way to reach a goal.

Magick is all around us, inside our mind and spirit.May the truth be spoken only in tongue, and the Deities come when they

hear it.A Witches ritual begun, the Moon in her glorious power.

It is the mid, it is the night, therefore the Witching Hour.

In the distance, power abides every one of Nature’s rules.The Magick of the elements, felt through a single jewel.

The Circle cast for protection last, a long and fruitful sight.Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit, seen by candlelight.

In the distance is the Solitary soul, another mode is heeded.As the Spells and Oaths are cast, The Circle is now completed.

Remember Magick? (Poem):By: Adella DragonStar

I remember you; Do you remember me?Back then you were so wild and free,

Years ago when it was just you and me?I remember you; Do you remember me?

I remember when you were a kid.Back then, doing things you never did;Saying the things you never said since;Yes, I remember when you were kid.

I remember a time when you were spiteful.When the Magick flowing in you was so delightful;

You'd bend the rules and play the fool,But all in all, I remember.

I remember when college was more than a dream;You and I were the perfect team;

Either casting or invoking, we made the scene;I remember you then, so long ago it seems.

Page 62: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

I remember when we first parted, its sad;Went our own separate ways, though it felt so bad;

I thought a lot of the Magick and Love we had;I remember how you never Spoke to me again, and that made me mad.

I look at you now, and remember your face;The happiness you bring is all over the place;

Lost are your memories of Magick?Do you not remember my warm embrace?

I remember you. Now do you remember me?Remember and think of the days we were free?

Can you picture my face? My warm embrace?I ask of you today, Do you remember me?

A pause silences, the air is still.Your voice rings out to me, sending a thrill,Sending me hope in a world so sad and still.

I smile as I listen, and as you say the word I digress-- "Yes."

The Dragon-- Adella DragonStar

Dreambound-- Adellandra Dranna Dratianos, 24Oct2006

I yearn for the night to wrap around meI ache for sleep to come

To take me away to Realms unchartedTo steal me away to friends made thereIn dreamtime, I am free to be myselfIn the Realms, I am more than a girl

For only in dreams do I ever bemore than I ever hope to be here

The Night whispers lullabies in my earas it blankets me in comfort and warmth

Page 66: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

For in dreams, and only in dreams,Am I truly free.

Freedom Flight-- Adellandra Dranna Dratianos, 24Oct2006

As a bird upon the winds I flyas a Dragon in mortal dreams I fly

the wind courses through my beaten wingsmy arms reach out

my eyes they close and I drift awaythe cool light of the moon behind me

the vast sea of green below methe sparkling waters of the ocean salt in my nose

No one can see me as the dragonno one but my mate can hear my callsBelow the wolves howl their greetingsIt's a great night for a freedom flight

Samhain Night-- Adellandra Dratianos, 31Oct2006

The Veil between the worlds is thinSpirits of the lost ones pass inVisiting with those left to live

To our hearts their love they did giveRejoice, for they're no longer gone

Their Spirits did indeed live onHonor them with tidings of the night

Set an extra place at the table tonightBut be aware the veil's other guestsThat pass through with all the rest

To keep them going on their wayconfuse them with masks,

Page 67: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

they will not stayLeave a bowl of goodies at the door

for those who come to exploreSamhain is New Year's Day

Be happy, celebrate,for Yule is on it's way

Crisp autumnal leaves are brightwith color and flavor in the night

Have fun, rejoice for today's the dayto Laugh, to love, to imagine and play

The Night brings out the darkest of hoursThe coolest of times, the greatest of powers

All Hallow's Eve, the pumpkin's litWith silly faces carved into it

To ward away evil spirits from the feastAnd attract the spirits of the least

A celebration of delightSamhain is music and magick bright.

Too many things around meSo many people surround me

Feeling closed inWhere do they end and I begin?

My heartbeats quickenI feel it echoing in my ears

Surrounded by darknessWhere's the Light?Help me for I'm lost

In a box of nothingnessDeep inside my own mind

There goes my heart againLouder, stronger, quicker, harder

Beating in my ears,pumping blood through my body

Must get away from hereToo many to Listen, to Feel, to Hear

A little voice deep in my mindSpeaks up, “relax.”

“Take a deep breath, count to ten,“In through the nose and out again.”

I close my eyes and obeyTaking my time and mind awayHeart slows to steady rhythm

In, Out, Breathe, RelaxThe Light, there it is, as clear as day

In my mind I walk to itIn, Out, Breathe, Relax

Ancient Mystic Spells and Chants:What Book of Light from an Ancient Mystic would be complete without selections from the Ancient Mystic Spells I used in the Dream Realm Chronicles? Aye, I wrote every one of these, but only performed a few in this Shell. I have said or performed most in the Realms, so don't ask anymore! I've tweaked them here to be universal, so they could be used by anyone.

The Ancient Mystic Circle Chantthe “Mystic Forces” may sound familiar, as I wrote it for both Realms in mind, it's here, too, also tweaked.

Draw a circle in the ground with the Magics Finger-Touch. Chant three times, in the center, looking at your feet – Mahl-hik Let Me BeMystic Magic, Set Me Free

Slowly, raise your arms to the air, as these words escape your lips –

Mystic Forces, I call upon thee.I call upon the earth, sky, sun, moon, and wind;As a new journey begins, I call upon the earth to hold and shelter me.I call upon the sky to guide me,I call upon the sun to soothe me,I call upon the moon to keep watch over me at night,And last, the wind, to warn me of evil forces in the air.

Call thrice this chant, eyes closed to the world around you, arms raised in a ‘v’ –

Mystic Forces, I call upon thee.

Slowly bringing your hands down, do one of the following:If alone: cross your arms on your chestIf with others: join hands.

With either, you’ll chant accordingly. Alone, (others in parenthesis)

Mystic Magic, Set Me Free (Colors of dust)May the Forces (Allow the Forces)Watch O’er Me. (To Keep Watch O’er Us)

If going to the Dream World with the Circle, call out in the Provinces Mystic language:

Page 77: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

Moy Yam Tor Ham Day (thrice)Mahl-Hik Del Da LorrKah Den Fret A TseeMystic Magic, Come Unto Me!

Before a battle with evil: close your eyes and softly chant to yourself,Within my soul,But with my mind,Mystic Magic,All knowing, all kindAs I battle evil sorceryMay the Magic Protect me.

Mystic's Candle SpellClose your eyes, think of the Candle's Flame and chant Thrice for concentration, etc.

As I think of the candle’s fire,Give me x , which I desire.

any of the following for x:courage, peace, luck, serenity, hope, strength, persistence, power, etc.

Mystic's Quick Strenghening Spell:

Give me the strength, give me the power, help me survive these mortal hours.

Also:

Guardian O’Dell, grant me the powerHelp me survive these mortal hours.

You are NothingYou are ShitYou are Nothing to MeYou do Not Exist!

Destruction Spell:for Djinn Fear-Wraiths

I am FreeI am ClearBe destroyedBy your Own Fear!

“ Mystic's Rhyme” This is what we are talking about when we speak of the “Mystic's Rhyme”

“Mystic Eyes of Silver-Blue,“Hold the Magic Rainbow True.”

Unforgotten SpellI didn't know what to call this one, but since it undoes the Forgetfulness Spell's effects, I called it “Unforgotten”.

Dreamer's Dream and Wishers WishLike the Mind and Ditch the DishTo Seal your Fate in Tune with TimeMake thee Remember the Mystic's Rhyme

Ancient's SpellThis is the spell Grand Magus used to bind every Mystic to herself and me. Very potent because it was used with the Dream Realms' Sphere.

I bring with me this mortal hour ,

Page 80: Adellandra's Book of the Light[1]

A sphere of magical Dream Realm power.To pay back what was given free,One sister to another, my twin to me.

Now is the time to findAll the Mystics from all the linesLink us together to Young Guardian and meShow them we fit together, perfectly

What's mine is yours and yours is mine;Part of mine now yours 'til the end of time.

When put together, the Dream Realms' Sphere could spell certain destruction and anihillation for anyone who tries to control it and cannot. The only ones known to be able to control it are the Originators, who forged it, the Ancient Mystics, Lady Guardian of the Realms and the Grand Magus. 1Taken from Eileen Holland’s The Wicca Handbook. It was originally much longer, with two parts, but I found this works just as well.
