In the modern world tattoos have been commonly perceived as marks of rebellion or of identifying lower class counterculture group members. Today with shows like “Miami Ink” and “L.A. Ink” they’ve become a mainstream fashion trend decorating everything from the ankles of soccer moms & full backs of corporate executives to the lower backs of giggling 18 year old girls.

We see tattoo designs on handbags, energy drinks, t-shirts & now even baby clothes – but before tattooing was the mark of “ne’er-do-wells” & a popular fashion novelty, they were important & powerful marks of transformation and identification. They adorned the bodies of powerful chieftains, kings & queens, sacred dancers & musicians, priests & priestesses, warriors & soldiers alike. Used to bring protection, healing, wisdom, strength & more into their lives. Magickal people the world over – Witches and members of Secret Societies – still to this day brandish the magickal mark & we will chat about how & why.

Come join the fun! BLESSED BE! / 93!”
