Sacred Symbols.

In today's episode Join Shannon & Laura as they dive into the world of Sacred Symbols Since the beginning of time people from all cultures across the globe have created symbols to use in ritual & divination, and to serve as good luck charms & protection sigils. We look into the meaning, folklore and uses of the Heptagram, Evil Eye, Sheela Na Gig, the Hamsa and Hexafoils! Did you know: a Heptagram has 7 points and is also known as a Fairy Star, the Evil Eye is often used to protect babies (there's also a few other tricks that Southern Italians have up their sleeves, such as the cornicello, cimaruta and the 'sign of the horns'), Sheela Na Gig doesn't mind a bit of anasyrma, the Hamsa is also known as The Hand of Fatima - and Hexafoils may just be pretty patterns made by carpentry apprentices practicing back in the day? We also answer a question from a dear listener, Jessie, about what to do when friends discover you are a witch and are less than supportive... Our Divine Tool of the Week - Carving candle magic!
