The Bell Witch Podcast

Greetings Listener, and welcome to The Bell Witch Podcast. A show to help one to get 'Witching in the 21st Century'This is a spontaneous episode celebrating The Omen Days, where we listen through last years journal pages for the upcoming year 25, and discuss how the Omens were interpried as messages.WHAT ARE THE OMEN DAYS?What if some of the most magical and mystical days of the year have been almost completely forgotten. In the midst of all of the frenetic energy of the holidays, we often dismiss the deepening stillness that is also present. In many different cultures around the world, the twelve day period beginning on December 26th and ending on January 6th is considered the most holy time of the year. The days slip beyond the boundaries of time and hidden knowledge becomes more accessible. Many of us feel that restless sense of being in a liminal space, waiting for both an ending and a new beginning.These 11 days and 12 nights can be found in ancient folklore, noted on medieval liturgical calendars, and in various religious and cultural traditions, including the German tradition of Rauhnächte (the 'rough' or 'magic nights), The Twelve Days of Christmas (marking the coming of the Epiphany), and in the Celtic tradition of The Omen Days. Many of the early celebrations and rituals were an effort to harmonize the gap between the Lunar and Solar calendars. It takes takes 365 days for the moon to go around the sun, and 354 days for the moon to wax and wane 12 times.The Omen Days are an invitation to observe the signs of nature - the bird's calling, the whispers of the wind through the pine trees, the movement or behavior of a rabbit or other animals, etc. - and use it as a divination for the year to come. Each day is a literal omen, a preview of the calendar year ahead. December 26th corresponding to January, December 27th corresponding to February, and so on. The Omen or message received that day relates to it’s corresponding month.https://www.silvercrestsanctuary.com/omen-daysMentioned in this episode:Whimsy Goth London London Goth market in Camden https://thewhimsygothmarket.uk/
