Now let’s talk about the topic: Rituals for Collective Healing. Many of us have taken part in these rituals before, and if you’re new, you’ll get to experience them too. I’ll share more about this after you listen to Healing Circle by Spiral Rhythm.

What I’m about to share might seem a bit off-topic, but when I first heard about this, it reminded me of some modern history in Wicca.
It goes back to when Gerald Gardner first used the Cone of Power around 1939 or 1940, during World War II. The Germans were threatening to invade Great Britain, and Gardner and his New Forest Coven gathered near the Channel to raise the Cone of Power, hoping to stop Hitler and his troops from invading. They were successful, but I believe there were other factors at play that contributed to the Germans holding back for a while.
Today, we witches are doing something similar with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
That’s what Rituals for Collective Healing make me think of. These rituals are about communities coming together to support one another. Healing Circles, in particular, are a powerful way to connect and help others. I’ll discuss this more after you listen to Cone of Power by Alicia Bonnet and the New Moon Singers.
(15:47)
I’m back in Mesoamerica to talk about the Aztec god Tlaloc.
He is the deity of rain and lightning, as well as the spirit of fertility and agricultural abundance.
Tlaloc also has a darker side; he can bring destruction through storms and floods, depending on his mood.
He resides in mountain caves filled with treasure and rules over Tlalocan, a beautiful realm overflowing with water and vegetation. The souls who enter this mythical place are those who died by drowning, lightning, or water-borne diseases, allowing them to live in peace.
Tlaloc is typically depicted with googly eyes and fangs. On your altar, you can offer him items that are marine or water-themed, along with large amounts of incense, as the smoke resembles clouds.
That’s it for now! Stay tuned for another spirit guide of the week

That was Magicfolk with Behind the Rain.
Let’s explore the different types of Ritual Collective Healing. I think many of us have heard of these, but let’s go through them one by one.
First up, we have Healing Circles. This is where people come together to focus their energy on healing one person. For example, if someone in your coven learns they have cancer, the other members gather to channel their energy to support their healing.
Next are Full Moon Rituals. These aren’t just for groups; they can be for individuals too. On the night of the full moon, people gather to raise their energy through chanting, dancing, and various activities aimed at healing.
The third type is Rites of Passage. We all go through transitions in life—birth, puberty, adulthood, marriage, and more. These rituals help us heal during those changes. For example, when someone passes away, we need to heal from that grief. Similarly, a child graduating high school is another significant change that requires support.
Moving on to Seasonal Festivals—think of occasions like Samhain, Beltane, and Imbolc. These times focus on healing and renewal. Samhain is a great example, as it marks the beginning of the dark half of the year, encouraging us to confront our shadow selves and heal.
Fifth, we have Group Meditation and Visualization. This is a powerful form of collective healing, whether you’re focusing on yourself or supporting someone else.
Finally, there are Offerings and Gratitude Rituals. Here, you bring something to offer to a deity and express your gratitude. This practice helps coven members feel more connected to the divine.
Next up, is a song from Trobar de Morte called Ritual.

Here's another dream symbol to interpret.
Harem, Hawk, and Headless are the three.
Dreaming of being in a harem suggests that you may have suppressed sexual energy and feelings of restraint.
Dreaming of having a harem suggests that you may be spending your time and energy on activities that are not important.
If you dream that you are a prisoner in a harem, it suggests that you are seeking acceptance of your own sexual identity.
Seeing a hawk in your dreams suggests that there could be hidden doubts about you and what you are doing.
If you dream of a dead hawk, it suggests that you are unaware of a certain problem or concern.
If you find yourself killing a hawk in a dream, it indicates that you may be experiencing a lack of insight in a particular aspect of your life.
Dreaming of a headless body moving about, or of being headless yourself, signifies that you are not thinking clearly or rationally.
If you dream of seeing a headless horseman, it implies that you are being affected by a negative force or influence.
Dreaming of a naked headless body suggests that you may be overly naïve or too trusting of those around you.
A headless body that is burned or injured in a dream suggests that you being unaware has put you in danger.
If you want a dream symbol to interpret and maybe have a dream symbol featured, I will mention the contact information at the end of this show. So keep dreaming.
