5 hidden magical insights that can change your life

1. Why do we wink?

Have you ever heard of Odin? Odin is a powerful and wise father of Scandinavian religion, the god of wisdom, healing, and victory. He is known for his thirst for wisdom and magical knowledge.

According to one story, Odin once traveled to expand his knowledge. One day he went to Mimir`s well, which was located under the world tree Yggdrasil. The guardian spirit of this well, whose wisdom and magical knowledge about realms was unprecedented, greeted Odin. Odin asked him for water.

The mystical being Mimir knew exactly what Odin was asking for; it wasn`t just water, he was asking for wisdom. And the creature tried to make the task as difficult as possible for him. Thus, it demanded Odin`s right eye. Odin asked for true and absolute wisdom, and the Guardian, in his opinion, set a fair price. Odin agreed without hesitation and received the desired wisdom in return.

In many ancient images, because Odin has one eye, it seems like he is winking. Behold, where `winking` comes from. Since Odin lost his eye because he initially concealed the truth, we treat his divine sacrifice with a wink to signal a secret to another.

2. Why do we show the `middle finger`?

Is it done to insult someone?

In ancient Greece, sexuality was part of every god`s power.

In this way, the phallus was a symbol of enormous potential, power that could fight every demon, turn every failure into golden opportunities, and create a new and successful beginning for every life. The middle finger symbolizes the phallus – a magical symbol.

The middle finger is also known as `digitus impudicus` or `shameless finger`. Saint Isidore of Seville explained in `Etymologies` that the middle finger is called shameless because it often expresses resentment, insult.

But why? This rude gesture was actually sacred and magical, a kind of mudra. The Greeks used it to instantly combat any negative action and dark arts directed at them. Just like placing phallus statues at crossroads and anywhere to ward off black magic. Therefore, by `showing the middle finger and insulting`, we are actually trying to ward off the negative from ourselves.

3. Why does the week have seven days?

Have you thought about this question? Why doesn`t the week have five, ten, or twelve days? Why exactly seven? Is there a special power in it? Well, of course!

Seven days, the seven planets of ancient witches

In the ancient world, astrologers and magic artists worked with the energy of `7 planets`. These 7 celestial bodies are planets that embody different magical powers and energies from which everything arises in creation. Each `planet` has a special vibration that can be directed with any magical action.

Each of the seven days of the week represents a `planet` that corresponds to one of the gods.

Monday – Moon day, Artemis/Diana`s day – the Moon goddess.
Tuesday – Tyr/Ares/Mars day – the war god.
Wednesday – Woden/Hermes/Mercury day – the god of communication and knowledge.
Thursday – Thor/Zeus/Jupiter day – the thunder god, although Zeus is also the ruler of gods.
Friday – Freya/Aphrodite/Venus day – the goddess of beauty and love.
Saturday – Cronus/Saturn day – the old god of time.
Sunday – Apollo/Sun day – the Sun god.

4. Why do we get tattoos?

Tattooing is an ancient art form that has appeared in various ancient cultures throughout history. The modern word `tattoo` comes from the Tahitian word tatau, which means `to mark something`. Does that remind you of anything?

”Tattoos are like stories - they symbolize important moments in your life.” - Pamela Anderson

Tattoos are similar to witches` marks. It is a sacrifice we give to our body to connect more deeply with what our chosen symbol represents. An eternal mark on our mortal bodies that can pass through our incarnations as well. Therefore, please, before deciding which tattoo to put on your body, wisely choose the meaning and symbolism!

5. Why is the wedding ring worn on the `ring finger`?

Hasn`t this interested you? Why do we prefer wearing the wedding ring on the `ring finger`? What makes it special? Well, as you can imagine, the finger`s name itself implies its role in wedding rituals.

Actually, this part of the wedding ritual began in ancient times. First, the ring symbolizes wholeness and unity. It is the ideal alchemical form associated with the Ouroboros - the symbol of eternity.

Why then is it still on the ring finger? This finger is associated with the Sun and Apollo, the god of all good things. By `activating` this finger, we actually activate the power of the Sun and Apollo within ourselves.

Since each `planet` is associated with one metal, the Sun and Apollo are associated with gold. Thus, to properly activate the ring finger, we need to put a gold ring on it. Therefore, by putting on the wedding ring, we invoke the blessing of Apollo and the Sun, which brings eternal happiness.

Esoteric wisdom can help change your and your loved ones` lives. When you learn how to access such ancient knowledge and decipher it, you will be able to better understand various religions, practices, and your spiritual `self`.
