Witchcraft symbols on the body have been used by practitioners of witchcraft and occult rituals for centuries. These symbols are believed to enhance the power of the individual and bring about desired outcomes. The use of symbols on the body can be seen as a form of visual representation of the individual's beliefs and intentions. One of the most common symbols used in witchcraft is the pentagram, which is a five-pointed star within a circle. The pentagram is believed to represent the five elements of earth, air, fire, water, and spirit, and is often associated with protection and balance. It is commonly tattooed or drawn on the body to serve as a talisman or amulet.
Monster Monday with Tabonga!
Horror, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Spy, Super-Hero, JD, Thriller and Noir films, that s what we like, and a recurring theme in a lot of those kinds of movies has always been music. I had dreams of writing about that weird mindfuck of a movie called Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny 1972 but I had forgotten someone wrote about it last year.
It is commonly tattooed or drawn on the body to serve as a talisman or amulet. Another symbol commonly used in witchcraft is the triquetra, also known as the trinity knot.

The Met’s Magical Christmas Tree
There’s nothing like Christmas in New York City. Among hundreds of traditions, one of the most beloved is the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s famous Christmas tree. People from around the world visit the Met on Fifth Avenue daily and are stunned by the dramatic 20-foot tree and its gorgeous decorations.
There is always a crowd gathered around the tree in the Medieval Art gallery, which feels like a cathedral because of the high ceilings. Instead of the usual ornaments, beautiful angels and candles hang from the boughs of the tree.
At the base is an elaborate crèche--a representation of Jesus’ birth. It features traditional elements: the Nativity, the three Wise Men, and the townspeople of Bethlehem, as well as animals. At the center, Mary and Joseph are holding baby Jesus, surrounded by nearly 140 lifelike, handmade figurines.
Detail of the Christmas tree at the Met.
Jasmin, an Australian student studying in the United States, says that the tree is “refreshing because you don’t often see trees like this.” Five-year-old Carolina says that her “favorite part of the tree is baby Jesus.”
Betty Grubb from Nashville, Tennessee, likes the tree because “there is so much controversy about religion, but it’s always wonderful to see it displayed in such a beautiful way.” No matter what religion you practice or how old you are, this tree is a fun way to view art and celebrate the holidays.
A TREE WITH A LONG HISTORY
The tree has a rich history behind it. The ornaments and figurines were donated in 1964 by private collector Loretta Hines Howard. The crèche is much older than that. It was made in the 18th century by Italian sculptor Giuseppe Sanmartino from Naples.
The angel ornaments are composed of a variety of materials. The bodies are made out of wire, the limbs are wood, and the heads are terracotta. Most impressive, these figures are dressed in fine embroidered garments and jewels.
If you find yourself at the Met during the holidays, visit the tree, and meet windswept angels and humble shepherds. The tree will be on display until January 8, 2017.
And while you're there, do the right thing in the holiday spirit, and make a donation, even if it's only a couple of bucks, because a lot of what I've been able to bring to you here wouldn't have been possible without them!
The triquetra can be found in various forms of art and jewelry, but it can also be tattooed or drawn on the body as a symbol of personal power and connection to the divine.
