{The following educational information is geared toward those who are newcomers to the Craft.}
Celtic Wiccan Triple (Triadic) Goddess –
Maiden, Mother, and Crone; the masculine equivalent is Son, Father, and Grandfather (often represented as Lugh, Herne / Cernunnos, and Dagda). The Triple Goddess is often represented as Boann, Brighid / Danu, and Cerridwen. There are a number of triadic God/dess variations depending upon the Celtic tribe or religious sect.
Summerland –
This spiritual realm, within the universe, represents where your spirit or soul goes once it leaves the human vessel or body to await reincarnation.

Magick Circle –
This also referred to a Sacred Space or Protective Sphere of positive energy that allows one to work within and keeps negative energies, forces, and/or spirit entities outside. Keep in mind that one can “allow” negative forces inside of the sacred space at will because you invoke them on purpose especially when practicing “Black” Magick. Keep in mind that there are negative forces that will try to invade your circle too.

The one major drawback of working as a Solitary Witch is that you don’t have the more powerful energies of your Coven members! From my coven days, and now being solitary, I know the difference in the levels of energies. I know now that it takes much more positive effort, energy, and time on my part, as a Solitary Witch today, to perform the same Magick and see results than when I lived in a coven. Keep in mind that there are many other variables (such as, time of day, position of the stars, moon, and planets; internal and external environmental factors and forces, i.e., the elementals; the energies your pets emit; the energies of those around you when you perform Magick, etc.) in play continually that can and will influence your Magickal work and outcomes.
Lastly, please keep in mind the Laws of Probability, the Laws of Nature, the Laws of Physics, and the Laws of Chemistry (Inorganic and Organic), the Laws of Karma, the Laws of Yin & Yang, and the Law of Return because all of these can work together in unison with you and/or against you. I don’t spend time trying to figure out or understand the Netherworld (Spirit Realm) in totality—for I just visit there to work with the spirits as best and positively as possible--thus learning what I can…when I can...from what the spirits wish to share.
This topic will be explored further along the mystic path of time.
