GESTURES AS SILENT CALLS

†††††††

SILENT CALLS

THE MAGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF GESTURES IS COMPLEX, & STEMS FROM THE POWERS OF

THE HAND. THE HAND CAN HEAL OR KILL, CARESS OR STRIKE.

IT IS A CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH ENERGIES ARE SENT FROM THE BODY OR RECEIVED

FROM OTHERS.

GESTURES IN WICCAN RITUAL CAN EASILY BECOME SECOND NATURE.

WHEN INVOKING THE GODDESS & GOD, THE HANDS CAN BE HELD UP LIFTED WITH THE

FINGERS SPREAD TO RECEIVE THEIR POWER.

THE GODDESS CAN BE INDIVIDUALLY INVOKED WITH THE LEFT HAND, THE THUMB & FIRST

FINGER HELD UP & CURLED INTO A HALF CIRCLE, WHILE THE REST OF THE FINGERS

ARE TUCKED AGAINST THE PALM. THIS REPRESENTS THE CRESCENT MOON.

THE GOD IS INVOKED WITH THE FIRST & LITTLE FINGER OF THE RIGHT HAND RAISED,

THE THUMB HOLDING DOWN THE OTHERS AGAINST THE PALM, TO REPRESENT THE HORNED

GOD OF WICCA, HERNE, ATHO, THE GREENMAN. PAN & MANY OTHERS, UNFORTUNATELY

SATANISTS ALSO ADOPTED THIS SIGN FOR THEIR GOD SATAN CALLING THE SIGN THE

DEVILS HORNS, SO MANY PAGANS & WICCANS HESITATE TO USE IT EVEN THOUGH IT

DATES TO PAGAN TIMES, PREFERRING TO USE A MORE MODERN SIGN OF HOLDING UP THE

FIRST & MIDDLE FINGERS IN A V SHAPE, USE EITHER ONE.

THE ELEMENTS.

AIR, HOLD UP HANDS, PALM OUTWARDS WITH FINGERS SPREAD WIDE.

FIRE, HOLD UP BOTH HANDS IN A FIST POSITION.

WATER, CUP BOTH HANDS TOGETHER FORMING A CUP.

EARTH, HOLD FLAT HANDS PARALLEL WITH THE GROUND.

THE GODDESS POSITION, IS ASSUMED BY PLACING THE FEET TWO FOOT APART ON THE
