Wisdom From The Unveiled Sage

11/05/2025

The feminine is the embodiment of the eternal birth, death, and rebirth cycles. It is in the center of the cosmic womb, the heart of mama earth and the spirit of womanhood. She is nature and the earth itself, the portal that births life in spring, and death in winter.

The season of the dark feminine is when the earth magnetically descends back into itself in its sacred retreat of holy darkness.
As light wanes and darkness increases, autumns vibrant fiery reds and golden yellows fade into a softer, muted palette of browns and grays, nature's eternal wisdom slips into a deep slumber—stillness, hibernation, introspection, darkness, solitude.

The cosmic womb magnetically draws us inward, to descend into the caves of our inner night, the void that lies within the cold, black soil of our being. In this liminal space where everything is at rest we dig up dark matter—the unconscious, the mysteries, the unknowable, the hidden, the shadows. Fear not the darkness, for there is so much beauty and treasure buried here.
It is the primordial womb of all creation. The feminine principle of magnetism into the void. It's where life begins, and where our greatest gifts, mysteries and magic reside.

The inward ways call to us.

Planetary Metals

All metals are potent magical tools. Their ritual use or avoidance is as old as magic itself. Just as early peoples sensed forces within stones, so too were metals found to contain energies that had tremendous influence. One guarded against evil.

Another banished nightmares. A third was used solely in honor of the forces behind life and the universe.

Later, as humans devised the technology to free metals from their rocky matrixes, more sophisticated magical knowledge concerning metals evolved. Today, metal magic is nearly forgotten, as herb and stone lore once was. This is unfortunate because metals are just as powerful and effective in magic. Metals can be used alone or in combination with stones. If you are a lapidary or a jeweler, you can fashion your own magical rings, bracelets and crowns.

Since at least ancient Babylonian times, certain metals have been associated with the planets. This system, designed for ritual use, has remained fairly constant to this day. To perform a spell related to one of the planets (see part four for planetary ritual information), empower its metal with your specific magical need and use it in some meaningful ritual way, just as you would stones.

Metals may be worn, carried, placed in small cloth bags, or situated near candles or stones there are no limitations.

Keeping in mind that the ancients viewed the Sun and Moon as planets, here’s a list of the heavenly bodies and their respective metals:

Sun—gold
Moon—silver
Mercury—mercury (quicksilver), electrum
Venus—copper
Mars—iron
Jupiter—tin
Saturn—lead

Other metals have been discovered since those far-distant times (and planets as well), but this is the basic system.
