The Forest Witch Digital Album

by Olathia

sachavonkarl74 Third full-length release from Cleveland-based Power metal powerhouse Olathia. Groovier than "Snake Charmer", but heavier production feels right, a bit thrashier too IMHO, and those vocals by lady singer Chris, very powerful. The title track is a fast-paced thrash piece that sticks, and so is ". Devil", both neck-wrecking relentless thrust and non-stop fun! Shotgun is a mid-tempo track with amazing guitar solo. Overall a very catchy mix of power-thrash that sounds fresh and innovative, Favorite track: Satan on My Mind.

DwayneEldredge This album hits super hard! Heavy AF!
Incredible job! Savatage worship to close it out adds to the awesomeness! Favorite track: Insatiable.

I saw the Forest Witch, she walked the trail of stone and at the bridge she was beaten bound and left alone I was in a ditch, then came the Forest Witch, she brought me back from death and now we walk the forest path The Forest Witch she carries me, I don’t know what I believe The Forest Witch is haunting me, take me back to misery As I walked through the trees, the past it called to me, it begged of my return to giant groves of hollow trees Swarms then filled my mind, frozen and trapped in time, each move my body made it ached so hard yet I forgave The Forest Witch she carries me, I don’t know what I believe The Forest Witch is haunting me, take me back to misery Temptation is damnation, the devil smiles and you’re on your knees Damnation, is my salvation, no longer will I wander among the trees Silver trails and a tongue with a thousand teeth, burrowed down where the darkness seeks Echoes call and the fireflies start to sleep, hurry back to the place that you need Cut branches reached for me, sharp thorns they sting and bleed As revelation dawned, deep in the forest I grew strong I took so many steps, on rocks I rest and wept Cold water cleansed my wounds, I heard the call of wailing loons I am the Forest Witch, I am the Forest Witch, I am the Forest Witch, I have become the spell is done and when I see you coming down the road, look out, you will end up in the ditch

Unholy deity, omnipotent child God of divinity, cleansed by waters of the Nile Summon the slaves from the grave Command is heresy Bring forth the army of decay to change the course and time of history Death she is approaching me, complete monstrosity, and a shadow covers the sky The moon whispers to me, the gods will set you free. My son, it’s not your time to die And as I close my eyes, the last breath in is finalized with prying eyes they shut the lid and now, I am reborn I walk among the land and hold the heavens in my hands I am reborn Unholy deity, omnipotent child God of divinity, cleansed by waters of the Nile Death, she has empowered me, opened the gates to see and now I am a god. King of Eternity, wrapped in linens and reed. All bow, in piety I rise And as you close your eyes, the last breath in is terrified with crying eyes they shut the lid and now, the dark takes hold, Book of the Dead is closed, no scale can weigh your heavy soul. I am reborn I am reborn I sail into the stars, Osiris by my side, into the afterlife, my soul my soul survives I sail into the stars, Osiris by my side, into the afterlife, my soul my soul survives

Hey, no one invited you here there’s nothing left to see Am I perfectly clear Hey, why don’t you turn around you can’t linger here I’m not the lost and found Watchful eyes they pierce the night, searching for souls to excite Ain’t no sunshine with Satan on my mind, ain’t no sunshine when Satan is near The Devil stood and looked me in the eye, and he saw that I have no fear. Ain’t no sunshine with Satan on my mind, ain’t no sunshine when Satan is here, The Devil thinks he’s got the only game, then I whispered in his ear Hey, I heard the echoes cry, as I walked though fire and the embers sighed Hey, did you hear what I said, I’m a raging dark horse, I won’t end up dead Haunting eyes they pierce the night, searching for souls to ignite Ain’t no sunshine with Satan on my mind, ain’t no sunshine when Satan is near The Devil stood and looked me in the eye, and he saw that I have no fear Ain’t no sunshine with Satan on my mind, ain’t no sunshine when Satan is here The Devil thinks he’s got the only game, then I whispered in his ear I don’t want your pity and I’m not your prey, I just want for you, to go your own way The devils song a haunting flow, watchful eyes as he listens close For a call to drown in the dark, he lends his hand but not his heart Ain’t no sunshine with Satan on my mind, ain’t no sunshine when Satan is near, The Devil stood and looked me in the eye, and he saw that I have no fear. Ain’t no sunshine with Satan on my mind, ain’t no sunshine when Satan is here, The Devil thinks he’s got the only game, then I whispered in his ear The devils song a haunting flow, watchful eyes as he listens close For a call to drown in the dark, he lends his hand rip out your heart

Far, away, In a land caught between time and space Where the books of life lay, we fear, this castle of stone The mountain king roams all alone in here, but he's not the only one Lost inside, forever hidden from the sun Madness reigns In the Hall of the Mountain King His deep, dark eyes, keep watch on his kingdom And the mysteries that sleep safe inside His hall, his towers of stone, shall not be overthrown For eternity, It is guarded by the king His sadness healed, with the power that it brings Madness reigns In the Hall of the Mountain King In the Hall of the Mountain King What I say to the world, no Come with me, stay close by my side As the darkness of night closes in Don't fear, In a thundering roar When the Mountain King calls all his children home To where I hid him we must run Refuge here, for those forever on the run Madness reigns, my friends, In the Hall of the Mountain King In the Hall of the Mountain King, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The Path of the Forest Witch: An Introduction to Earth Magick

Perhaps the plants are calling you to go deeper into yourself.

Perhaps your calling is to live closer to the earth with our plant, animal, and invisible allies.

Enter the world of Pharmakeia, the practice of plant magick.

Through our new monthly series, Earth Magick: The Path of the Forest Witch, we provide a safe space where women can begin their alchemical journey to connect on a deeper level with our natural world, take a deep dive into common plants and their magickal uses, explore spells and rituals, gain an understanding of the historical context of the craft, build confidence, and meet a community of like-minded women.

Your journey begins on Sunday, September 24th, for our first offering in the series, an Introduction to Earth Magick, under the guidance of our new teacher, friend, and green witch, Rachel Star Koladis @thereplantedwitch. We are so excited to welcome Rachel to our tribe and provide a platform for her to share her passion and knowledge of folklore, magick, and green/hedge witchcraft with women curious about green witch living. We are thrilled that Rachel's crooked path led her to us.

Join us—we'll have a cup of tea ready.

Details

This is not your average “How to be a green witch class.” We will begin this workshop with an introduction to the legacy and history of botanica that has been left to all witches by Hekate (Hecate), the goddess of magick and witchcraft. We will learn about and partake in a Khernips cleansing ritual to prepare ourselves for the green path. Khernips, also called lustral water, is a specific type of water used for cleansing and purification. Rachel will lead us through a plant meditation to find and communicate with our personal plant allies, followed by a discussion on sustainable harvesting. We will work together to each start our own personal materia medica (a Latin term, relating to the history of pharmacy) using provided reference books, personal guidance from Rachel, and group discussions. We will conclude our day with a gentle walk in nature and a fireside-sharing circle.

• Sunday, September 24, 2023, 11:00 am - 1:00 pm at a private 60-acre residence in East Haddam (address will be emailed to attendees the week of the workshop)
• $45 investment per person and includes a sketchbook and materials
• Limited to 10 women
• Please feel free to bring any crystals or beautiful gifts from the earth that can support our space in feeling safer, more welcoming, more tolerant, or more sacred.

About our Facilitator - Rachel Star Koladis

Witchcraft and magic have been dominant forces in Rachel's life from an early age—she spent her free time practicing spells with her best friends. At Trinity College, she worked on researching and preparing a working bibliography on witchcraft-related holdings at the Watkinson Library on campus.

Some people use the energy of the full moon for rituals and ceremonies, believing that it can bring about positive change and spiritual growth. The full moon also plays a significant role in nature. It has been observed that certain animals, such as wolves, are more active and howl more frequently during a full moon. This phenomenon has sparked numerous myths and legends about werewolves and their connection to the lunar cycle. Furthermore, the full moon has a significant impact on tides. Its gravitational pull influences the ocean's waters, causing high and low tides. This connection between the moon and the Earth's water has further added to the allure and intrigue surrounding the full moon. Beyond its lore and scientific significance, the full moon holds a special place in our hearts. Many find comfort and solace in its gentle radiance. It can inspire feelings of calmness and serenity, providing a sense of harmony and balance. Whether it be through storytelling, observing wildlife, or simply admiring its beauty, the magical full moon continues to capture our imagination. It serves as a reminder of the vastness and mystery of the universe, and the endless possibilities that lie within it..

Reviews for "Magical Rituals for the Full Moon"

1. Sarah - 2 stars - The book "Magical Full Moon" was a huge disappointment for me. I had such high expectations after reading the summary and hearing so many positive reviews. However, the story fell flat for me. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth. The plot felt rushed and predictable, with no surprises along the way. Overall, I found the book to be uninteresting and lacking the magic it promised.

2. John - 3 stars - I was eager to dive into the world of "Magical Full Moon," but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. While the concept of magic and a full moon sounded intriguing, the execution fell short. The writing style was bland, and the dialogue felt forced. The pacing was inconsistent, with some parts dragging on and others feeling rushed. Additionally, the romance in the story felt contrived, lacking genuine chemistry between the characters. Overall, it was an average read that didn't captivate me.

3. Emily - 2.5 stars - "Magical Full Moon" had the potential to be a captivating read, but it failed to deliver. The world-building was weak, leaving me with a million unanswered questions. The characters lacked development and felt superficial. The romance was cliché and lacked any real depth. The plot had so much potential, but it felt disjointed and lacked coherence. I wanted to love this book, but I couldn't connect with it on any level. Unfortunately, it was a forgettable read for me.
