Bow & Arrow
Archery is not a normal part of other Wiccan/Pagan traditions, but because Artemis is the Goddess of the Amazons it is quite natural for archery to be a significant part of our spiritual practice. Archery is an ancient and magical art form for modern witches. Skill with the bow runs deep in our bones and stirs our tribal memories. When we draw our bows and let our arrows fly we stand in our own power with the Goddess.
As Artemis is a Mistress Goddess, and we celebrate her during the Summer season, it is traditional for us to perform archery rituals and spells at the Summer Solstice gathering. We create individual "spell arrows" and place written group spells on our targets. Thus, as we breath, aim, and fly our magical intentions with clear, focused power we know our magic will hit its mark. Learning to craft bows and arrows for ourselves is challenging. Perhaps it is the most challenging of all the craft skills our tradition teaches us. However, developing strong archery skills and learning to craft bows and arrows is well worth developing the effort because they are some of the most empowering and magically rewarding for modern women. |
