Clamshell Calcite @ Fort Drum

Over the past weekend we came across an amazing “crystal mine” in Fort Drum, Florida, know as Ruck’s Pit.  This specific mine is filled with Clamshell Calcite, a mineral-fossil composite, only found in Fort Drum.  Spontaneously, a day later, we were knee deep in dirt and mud, digging up these amazing crystal specimens, which are believed to be, over four million years old.   They appear as large Clam Shells (Mercenaria permagna), with calcite crystals formed on the interior.  After, these shells are cleaned and dried they are absolutely dazzling!  I began to ponder what magickal properties these delightful specimens carry? Calcite is used in many spells and magick associated with healing and drawing wealth, while shells and fossils are employed as divinatory tools and amulets for personal strength. For those visiting Florida, check out Fort Drum Mine! For more information on Ruck'sPit,

The Witches Harvest - Cornucopia – July 31st - August 2nd  Meititura, Lughnasadh, Lammas, The First Harvest, Harvest of Corn and Grain  Meititura - The Harvest of Grain and Wheat During the month of July into early August, corn and grains were the first crops to be harvested by the ancestors of the Witch. In ancient Sicily, the ‘Meititura’ (Harvest) was period of hard work, festivity and the blessings of the ‘First Fruits’ of the Agricultural Season. An effigy or puppet of the Grain Mother was fashioned from sheaves of wheat and adorned in female attire. This ‘puppet’ was then carried in procession throughout the local villages in joyous festivity. The sheaves of the Effigy were later used for amulets of protection and good fortune.  Throughout the world, July to August is marked as a time of harvesting corn, grain, and grapes – (to make wine). In our Witches’ Tradition we offer our devotion to the Goddess Demeter (Roman: Ceres) offering Her thanks and gratitude for the b...
