NoJoMo – Day of the Dragoness
I am a self-proclaimed Wiccan but I havent had the opportunity for anyone to help teach me the proper way to do ceremonies and magickal studies. It makes it extremely difficult living the way I do and the fact that I live in the bible belt to get any type of assistance learning the things I feel I need.
This Wiccan Book of Days has something for every day of the year which, for someone like me, actually helps. I will not be going is any particular type of order except forward from this date.
Day of the Dragoness
November 6th
The birth of Tiamat is celebrated today. She was the war-like, powerful Mesopotamian creator goddess of the seas, of the primordial waters from which all life emanated. She was depicted in the form of a dragon and revered as the mother of all the gods. Dragons have long symbolized fertility, especially in Eastern lands, because of their association with live-giving water. Wiccans honor this aspect of the great Dragoness, who deploys her mighty strength in the form of protection and creativity.
Invoke the power of the Dragoness today to enhance healing, fertility, or creativity by pouring water into a cup and striking a metal bell or cymbal above it. Chant your desired outcome while the resonant note can still be heard. The element of water is linked with the unconscious mind, the moon, female intuition, conception and birth.

Beautiful words and beautiful pictures as well. I was solitary for years, read a lot, and have only in the last few years had any “formal” training. You can be that’s been here and there, though. I think most Wiccans find their own paths, and I don’t think that being in a coven is the only “right” way to go. There are too many of us who are self-taught and self-initiated. The Lord and Lady don’t care if you have a lineage or not, IMHO! Many blessings!!! I need to stop by and read more often. — aly

This was very interesting. I keep trying to get my son to loan me his Wiccan literature but he keeps pretty tight rein on it.
