Just like God, we have stages. We are going to be exploring the stages of the male life cycle. In the final stage, you have the elder years, the Wise Man stage. In this stage, the mind is filled with gratitude, wisdom, and reflection. We are going to be connecting with our inner Wise Man God. In many Wiccan practices, God is worshiped in triplicate, made up of three forms: the Hunter, the Green Man, and the Wise Man. These archetypes are sometimes depicted as three life phases of a single God paralleling the stages of the sun; Sun Rise, Solar Noon, and Sun Set. The triple God has been worshiped since humans have been on this planet. Throughout ancient Greek, Roman, and Celtic pantheons, you can find the different forms of God. In some pantheons the triple Gods were depicted as siblings, or as three separate Gods united as one, or as than three life stages of the same deity. The Wise Man phase of life corresponds with the Sunset phase. The Wise Man is in the winter of his life, he is a strong, leader, and wise man. This stage is full of mystery and imparting his divine wisdom. The elderhood stage is a stage where the mind is full of gratitude for the knowledge of the Ancestors, and the yearning to share it. The Wiseman's energy should be called upon for any magick that you need strength and wisdom. Rituals for receiving guidance, wisdom, healing, and faith for your spiritual growth magick. The Triple God echos a man's life cycle and embodies the many aspects of his life. In the third stage, you have the elder, the Wise Man stage. In this stage, the mind is filled with relaxation and reflection. In this wise man stage, your state of being is in aging and descent. This stage of an older man's life is often when they spend time with their grandchildren, or finally take time for themselves. The wisdom the Wise Man has at this stage is gathered not just from his time on this earth, but the time of his ancestors. In this stage, a man is moving us closer toward the Underworld, and his body is reflecting that. He is yearning for peace, respect, and ancestral connections. The desire for this connection manifests itself often by embracing the mentor role to others. In this stage, it is so important to maintain strength, both in the body and the mind. Your cardiovascular health needs to be essential as well. As you age, your maximum heart rate goes down. Physical changes start changing with our hormones start changing. It is important to understand that having healthy lifestyle choices can help you feel your best at any stage. As the wise man ages, his body starts to change. His muscles weaken, and even his testosterone levels decrease. His heart and blood pressure may need to be regularly monitored. This is because as we age our body slows down, which causes our cell production to change. Like the Hunter, the Wise Man unbarks on a different sexual journey. His sexual appetite has dimensions. This means that he will embark on a deeper more emotional and spiritual relationship with his consort. He mentally begins to slow down and can become short, because of frustration with the changes in this stage. The wise man is filled with wisdom from his age, but the ability to share it can be disrupted by his lack of patience. Herbs associated with the Wise Man are: amanita muscaria fungus, elecampane, juniper, monkshood, yew, ash The crystals associated with the Wise Man are quartz, amethyst, Labradorite, Lapis Lazuli and Garnet. Carrying with you connects you with Crone Goddess's energy. The Roman God Jupiter, also known as Jove, is the God of sky and thunder. His father is the God Saturn of the Universe and the Goddess Ops, of the Earth. The Mayan God Itzamna is the God of Creation. As the creator he also teaches humans about science, the calendar, writing, and medicine. The Greek Titan Kronos was the son of Uranus and Gaea, the youngest one of the original Twelve Titans. He is worshipped as one of the Creator Gods. “Most witches don’t believe in gods. They know that the gods exist, of course. They even deal with them occasionally. But they don’t believe in them. They know them too well. It would be like believing in the postman.”

As a mom of three boys who go to public school I started to notice that some things were not being taught in detail so I decided to create lessons for them. Many of these lessons cover science, history and of information about Paganism. I share crafts for the all different holidays and cultures as ways that they can learn and have fun at the same time.
