I often wondered in my childhood why I felt so close to the number "4". I didn't realise it at the time, but now I feel like it was because it was my life path.
For quite some time I've felt that perhaps I was under a curse, and that must be why nothing ever seems to go right for me. But just recently I very dear friend of mine pointed out that, numerogically speaking I may very well be a "4".
I have to admit I was a bit skeptical since I had added up a numerlogical value before under my assumed pagan names and never come up with such a number. In recent times I had never really given much thought to my numerlogical pattern. But then when she proposed the idea after expressing to her that I felt I may very well be under a curse she suggested to me that perhaps it wasn't a curse at all, but my life path...the number "4".
Skeptical as I was, I took the time to figure my life path number which I reduced from my birthdate, and sure enough I was a four!
I don't know exactly what to make of this, but I know that it's not something I can simply dismiss as folly. I may very well be cursed, but I may also be the victim of my own choosing...the number "4" ...a life of turmoil and hardship. I guess we'll see...

CHARGE OF THE DARK GOD
HP: Listen to the words of the Dark God, he who is known as Iakchos, Anubis, Thanatos, Hades, Setesh, Agra Mainyu, and Nanna…
I am the twilight as night falls on the horizon, and I am the fog that cloaks the lowest regions of the Earth…
I am the howl of the howl of the Wolf at midnight, and I am the wail of the wind through barren trees!
I am the lightening that illuminates the night, and the thunder that quakes the skies!
I am the shriek that cries at the moment of the Death, and I am the whisper that says good-bye…
Come to me in the darkness and the wild caverns of the Earth, and I will protect you!
Come to me in your darkest hour, and cry from the depths of your soul!
Come to me in the final throes of Death, and you shall be reborn!
Come to me as the Summer wanes, and behold the worlds unknown!
For I am the reaper that leads the soul unto the realm of the Dead!
Yet also, my face is as an Angel, and glows in silver aura…
My children rest in my embrace, and my enemies scream in mortal terror!
Only the futile seek to banish me, and the wise do heed my call!
For I am the Lord of your fears and afflictions, yet also your source of triumph!
Call to me and your soul shall prosper!
Call to me and the wisdom be thine!
For I am the Warrior; the Hunter of Heads, who protects his children fierce!
I am the God of Darkness and Death!
HALLOWED BE MY NAME!
HAIL THE DARK ONE!
ALL: HAIL THE DARK ONE!
CHARGE OF THE DARK GODDESS
HPS: Listen to the words of the Dark Goddess, she who is known as Lilith, Ereshkigal, Persephone, Hecate, Morrigan, Kali, and Cerridwen…
I am the Moon when she is full, and also when she is black!
I am the embrace at the moment of Death, and the whisper that call the ghost to their tomb
I am the call of a crow on it’s perch, and I am the tears of a final good-bye
I am the Crone; my cane beats the floor with the rhythm of the ages!
Call to me when the Moon is full in dark and hidden places!
Call to me for a warm embrace, and speak in unknown tongues!
Call to me on the howl of the wind, and on the wings of an owl!
Call to me in the forest deep, and dance with me in the moonlight!
For I know the pain of the living, and know the emptiness of the Dead!
Yet also, I, have no remorse and shall avenge my children
For they call me fourth in the name Nemesis, my justice swift and sure!
Only the foolish seek to banish me, and only the weak shall fall as my prey!
For I am the healer of agony, and I am your solace among the stars!
Call to me and your burdens be gone!
Call to me and the wisdom be thine!
For I am the Lady of Eternal Mystery; the sorceress of infinite magick!
I am the Lady of Night and Destruction!
Hallowed be my Name!
HAIL THE DARK ONE!
ALL: HAIL THE DARK ONE!
FEAST DEDICATION
(Samhain, by Inkubbus Sukkubus)
HP: From the West comes old Death
A riding on the storm
With hungry eyes for funeral fires
To burn til the ‘morrows dawn
And tis the night here comes the dead
Unbound from the Underworld
And the children dress as the babes of Hell; all the boys and all the girls
And the fires shall burn, and the Wheel of Life shall turn
And the dead come back home on Samhain!
And in the night sky, on a lunar light they fly
And the dead come back home on Samhain!
HPS: At the Sabbat high on the funeral hill
Wait the witches at the feast
For the first winter’s day, the first winter’s Sun
Arising in the East
For Death has come for the summertime
And to take the leaves of Spring
Hecate, Nemesis, dark mother take us in
And the fires shall burn, and the Wheel of Life shall turn
And the dead come back home on Samhain
And in the night sky, on a lunar light they fly
And the dead come back home on Samhain!
HP: In the name of the Dark God, we dedicate this feast to our departed loved ones, and to our protection, prosperity, and wisdom…

It seems in the information age every new beginning requires a new blog. IDK, maybe that's just me.
I'll use this primarily for the Circle of Shadows coven, but also for my own personal occult writings from time to time. More to come soon!
