Unveiling the Mysteries of Lupercalia: A Pagan Feast with #WitchyWednesday Vibes

Posted on February 7, 2024 by SpookyMrsGreen

Welcome to another enchanting edition of #WitchyWednesday on SpookyMrsGreen.com! Today, we embark on a journey into the ancient and mysterious festival of Lupercalia, a pagan celebration that once captivated the hearts of the Roman people.

As we explore its roots, rituals, and the magical essence it carries, let’s delve into the history of this enchanting festival that predates Valentine’s Day.

Unveiling the Mysteries: Exploring the pagan feast of Lupercalia #WitchyWednesday.

The Origins of Lupercalia

Lupercalia has its roots in ancient Roman traditions, believed to be established as early as the 6th century BCE. The festival takes its name from Lupercus, the Roman god associated with shepherds and fertility. Celebrated annually from February 13th to 15th, Lupercalia marked the transition from winter to spring and was dedicated to purifying and fertility rites.

Rituals and Customs

One of the central rituals of Lupercalia involved the Luperci, a group of priests donned in goatskin loincloths, conducting ceremonies at the sacred cave of Lupercal on Palatine Hill. The priests would sacrifice goats and a dog, symbolizing fertility and purification. Following the sacrifices, they would smear themselves with the sacrificial blood, engaging in playful slapping and striking onlookers with strips of goatskin.

The Feast of Lupercalia was not just about purification; it was a celebration of fertility and love. Young men and women participated eagerly, as they believed the rituals would enhance their chances of finding suitable partners and ensuring a fruitful union.

Connecting Lupercalia to Modern Practices

While Lupercalia has largely faded from modern celebrations, its influence can be seen in some of the customs associated with Valentine’s Day. The tradition of exchanging love notes, a practice dating back to the Roman Empire, bears a striking resemblance to the intentions of Lupercalia, where finding love and ensuring fertility were at the forefront of the festivities.

The #WitchyWednesday Connection

As we explore the ancient pagan roots of Lupercalia, it’s impossible not to draw connections between its mystical essence and the practices embraced by modern witches. The celebration of nature, fertility, and the changing seasons aligns seamlessly with the Wiccan and pagan principles that honour the cycles of the Earth.

For those who embrace witchcraft, incorporating elements of Lupercalia into your own rituals can be a magical way to connect with the past and tap into the energies associated with love, fertility, and renewal.

Blending ancient celebrations with modern traditions

Lupercalia, with its pagan origins and rituals, adds a fascinating layer to our understanding of ancient celebrations and their influence on contemporary traditions. As we revel in the magic of #WitchyWednesday, let’s honour the spirits of Lupercalia and embrace the enchanting energies that connect us to the timeless cycles of nature and love. Whether you’re a modern witch or simply curious about the mystical past, the echoes of Lupercalia resonate through the ages, reminding us of the enduring magic woven into the fabric of our world.

#BookReview: “The Buddhist CEO” by Thane Lawrie

Posted on February 7, 2024 by SpookyMrsGreen

I received a copy of “The Buddhist CEO” by Thane Lawrie from the publisher.

Read my review to see if I recommend the book and where you can buy it.

Book cover for “The Buddhist CEO” by Thane Lawrie reviewed by LGBT fantasy book writer Catherine Green for SpookyMrsGreen.com mindful parenting and modern pagan lifestyle blog.
#BookReview: “The Buddhist CEO” by Thane Lawrie.

My Review of  “The Buddhist CEO” by Thane Lawrie

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in return for an honest review. This was an interesting read, but I am confused about whether the book is a novel or a memoir. It is presented as a novel, but it reads very much like non-fiction. I could hear the author describing their experiences as I read the book. Now, that didn’t detract from my enjoyment of it and it was certainly something different to what I have read previously. This is the first Scottish novel I have read in a long time that doesn’t reference violence and/or drug use, so that in itself is refreshing. Not all Buddhists live on a mountain in an exotic country. Some live in a city in Scotland, and it is nice to hear their stories and relate to their experiences. If you are interested in Buddhism and how it applies to the business world then this book is for you. I enjoyed it, once I got over the initial confusion.

About the Book

Hamish’s chance encounter with a Buddhist monk has a profound effect on his life. He dreams of becoming a monk one day, but he loves his family deeply, and at work his compassionate leadership unexpectedly makes him CEO of a struggling nonprofit. Over the years, he strives to apply Buddhism to everything he does, often seeking peace, solitude, and everyday answers at a Buddhist monastery.

On the face of it, Hamish is successful, and satisfied with his efforts to square the material with the spiritual. But behind the scenes, staff plot against him, and mysterious physical symptoms force a spiritual reckoning. Is it possible for the Buddhist CEO to face these challenges and stay true to his core values and beliefs?

Buy the book: Amazon; Waterstones.

Should I get my Husband a Gift for Valentine’s Day?

Posted on February 5, 2024 by SpookyMrsGreen

Next week is Valentine’s Day, and I have decided that I want to celebrate the occasion. It will be a first in a very long time for my husband and me. But  now I have a dilemma. What can I get my husband for Valentine’s Day, and should I even bother to get him a gift if he doesn’t want to celebrate?

Join the conversation in my blog post, share your thoughts on whether we should celebrate Valentine’s Day over a decade into our marriage, and offer your suggestions on how to make it a memorable event.

Valentine’s Day: To Gift or Not to Gift? Join the conversation.

Should I get my Husband a Gift for Valentine’s Day?

This year I have decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my husband. He is not happy about my announcement. We have been married for nearly fourteen years, together for over twenty years, and decided several years ago that we wouldn’t bother with Valentine’s Day because it was “just another day.” But that’s the point. I think it is nice to have something to plan for, something to get excited about, something to take the mundanity out of everyday life and brighten up an otherwise dull week.

I don’t expect an extravagant gift or a special treat. It is just another work and school day for our family. But I would at least like the opportunity to spend time with my husband as a couple without needing to run the children to and from clubs, or get some shopping specifically for the house, or do a specific job relating to our family obligations. We need time for us to be alone, to be romantic, to be properly together. I just don’t know when that will happen. But I still want to get him a little gift, although I have no idea what that might be. At this rate it will probably be a packet of sweets, but hey, it’s the thought that counts, right? He loves his Haribo.

From Prams to Pushchairs: Navigating Parenthood with Style and Convenience

Posted on February 5, 2024 by SpookyMrsGreen

Happy #MummyMonday, SpookyMrsGreen readers! Today, I want to share a personal journey that has taken me from pushing prams to navigating the streets with a dog stroller.

Parenthood is a series of evolving challenges and joys, and one constant companion on this journey is the trusty pushchair. As I reflect on the similarities between pushing my children in prams and now my furry family member in a stroller, I’ve compiled some valuable tips for those in search of the perfect pushchair for their little ones.

But first, let me introduce you to Kidsly, the UK’s premier online store for stylish and high-quality children’s products.

A guide to choosing the perfect stroller for your family’s lifestyle.” Promotional blog post for Kidsly affiliated with SpookyMrsGreen.com mindful parenting and modern pagan lifestyle blog.
Get 10% off NOORDI products at Kidsly with the code NOORDI10.

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Pushchair:

1. Manoeuvrability Matters:

   Whether you’re a seasoned parent or a first-timer, the ability to navigate your pushchair with one hand is a game-changer. Juggling a toddler and a baby simultaneously is a skill every parent hones, and having a pushchair that responds to your every move makes outings smoother and more enjoyable.

2. Terrain-Friendly Features:

   For those who love outdoor adventures, it’s crucial to choose a pushchair with the right kind of wheels and a lightweight frame. If you foresee walks along rough terrain, ensure that your pushchair can handle it without getting stuck in mud or sand. A durable and versatile pushchair can make all the difference in your family’s outdoor experiences.

3. Storage Space is Key:

   Just like I relied on the storage basket underneath my children’s pram, a spacious storage area is a must for any pushchair. From carrying baby essentials to your latest grocery haul, having ample storage space is a practical feature that will undoubtedly come in handy.

Introducing Kidsly – Your Go-To Destination for Children’s Products:

Now that you’re armed with these essential pushchair tips, let me introduce you to Kidsly, the UK’s premier online store for stylish and high-quality children’s products.

Embracing Nutella Joy on World Nutella Day: Nurturing Happy, Healthy Kids

Posted on February 5, 2024 by SpookyMrsGreen

#MummyMonday Special: Celebrating the Nutella Love!

Hello, SpookyMrsGreen readers! Welcome back to another #MummyMonday on the blog. Today, we’re diving into the world of hazelnut-chocolate goodness as we celebrate World Nutella Day. But there’s a twist – we’re also going to chat about my eldest daughter’s love for Nutella and how, despite her restrictive diet, she’s thriving, happy, and healthy.

As a parent, I’ve often found myself navigating the intricate world of my children’s eating habits. It’s a journey marked by concerns, trials, and, most importantly, learning. My eldest daughter’s dietary preferences have been a puzzle, possibly linked to neurodiversity, but we’ve chosen not to pursue diagnoses, focusing instead on creating a positive and supportive environment.

Embracing Nutella Joy on World Nutella Day: Nurturing Happy, Healthy Kids

Nutella Magic in Our Home

World Nutella Day is a special occasion for us, as it brings a wave of joy into our household. My eldest daughter’s face lights up with delight when she indulges in this sweet treat. Despite the dietary challenges we’ve faced, Nutella has become a source of happiness and a way for her to explore new textures and flavours.

Nurturing Healthy Habits

Parents often feel a weighty responsibility when it comes to their children’s eating habits. We want to ensure they receive the right nutrients, grow strong, and develop a positive relationship with food. While my daughter’s dietary journey has concerned me at times, I’ve learned valuable lessons along the way.

Here are some tips for parents who might be struggling or concerned about their kids’ diets:

1. Encourage Exploration

Introduce a variety of foods to your children, allowing them to explore different tastes and textures. Sometimes, it’s the unexpected treats like Nutella that can spark joy and make the dining experience enjoyable.

2. Create a Positive Environment

Build a positive atmosphere around mealtimes. Avoid placing undue pressure on your child to eat certain foods. Instead, focus on fostering a relaxed and enjoyable setting that encourages a healthy relationship with food.

3. Seek Professional Guidance

If you have serious concerns about your child’s nutrition, it’s always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a nutritionist. They can provide personalised advice and support based on your child’s specific needs.

4. Be Flexible

Children’s tastes can change, so be open to adjustments in their diets. What they reject today might become a favourite tomorrow. Stay flexible and patient as you navigate their evolving preferences.

5. Celebrate Small Victories

Acknowledge and celebrate the progress your child makes in their dietary journey. Small victories can pave the way for more positive changes, and it’s essential to recognize and applaud these moments.

Embracing Nutella Love

On this World Nutella Day, let’s celebrate the simple joys that food can bring into our lives. For my family, Nutella has become a symbol of happiness, overcoming challenges, and embracing the uniqueness of each individual’s dietary preferences.

Remember, parenting is a journey filled with twists and turns, and what works for one child may not work for another. The key is to approach it with love, patience, and an open mind. Happy World Nutella Day, and here’s to many more delightful discoveries on our parenting adventures!

My Review of  “Ghosts, Monsters, and Demons of India” by Rakesh Khanna and J. Furcifer Bhairav

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in return for an honest review, and I will admit that I got excited when it landed at my door. The book is a tactile beauty with a gorgeous hardback cover and some grisly, gruesome, Gothic illustrations alongside the monster stories. I felt like one of the Winchester brothers or maybe a Grimm character, researching lore and learning about monsters, their origins, their habits, and where to find them. It was a perfect October read and very atmospheric on Halloween. I recommend this book for every monster hunter out there, every Supernatural fan, and anyone that appreciates traditional gruesome folklore.

About the Book

An illustrated guide to the folktales and real-life stories of the ghosts, monsters and demons of India, a culture famously rich in tradition and legends. Perfect for fans of Eli Roth’s Urban Legends and Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.

“I was not prepared for how deeply this book captivated me … Ghosts, Monsters, and Demons of India is exemplary of what a book can be, how it can operate. It’s a bridge across space, time, and language” —Robin Sloan, author of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore.

An encyclopaedia of evil entities and folkloric fiends from across India, from Ladakh to Kerala, Lakshadweep to Nagaland, Naraka to Tuchenkwaka, complete with 60 spooky illustrations. Inside this book you will find …Killer robots built with stolen Roman engineering technology that once guarded the relics of the Buddha. The ghost of a 21-year-old motorcyclist whose Enfield Bullet is venerated at a highway temple in Rajasthan. A Himalayan drum-playing spirit-teacher whose wife is a fearsome Yeti. Diabolical entities conjured into existence by the simultaneous deaths of seven tigers. Triple-rooted night-flying Vedic necromancers. Call-centre employees from beyond the grave. The dreaded Ngalei Ahmaw of Maraland, whose victims’ heads detach themselves from their bodies at night and go wandering in search of blood … AND MORE

Buy the book: Amazon; Waterstones; WH Smith.
