Sometimes it doesn’t work, and you have to learn to be okay with that. I’m not trying to tell you what to feel; I’m talking about my own experience as a magic practitioner. Sometimes my magic doesn’t work; sometimes it straight-up dies. And it’s taken me a long time to get to a point where …

30 Days of Paganism: Beliefs – Magic, spellcraft, mysticism etc
Ok, it feels a bit weird for me to be tackling this right now. I haven’t done much magic lately, but I always seem to be steeped in mysticism so maybe it’ll work out. So. Magic and spellcraft. To me the practice of magic is entirely mundane. I mean, I’m doing the same stuff I …

Witch Skills
Since posting my guide to visualization, I’ve been thinking — having a series of posts on what I consider essential witch skills might be a good idea. I mean, I’ve been doing this sort of stuff long enough that I should have some basic idea of what I’m doing, right? …right? Eh. Maybe not so …
Visualization: what it is and how to do it. A guide for everyone — yes, even you.

44 Days of Witchery, Day 8: A Photo of a Magical Place Outdoors
So, really, almost every place outdoors is magical. According to me, at least. However, Lake Sasamat is truly magical — tis the hosting ground for not only the Gathering for Life on Earth, but also Pirates and Fairies – two witchy/pagany events with rituals galore, that happen every year. The place is practically crackling with …

Spring Cleaning and Prosperity
I just spent the better part of two hours cleaning my room. I was supposed to do a spell to bring in money tonight, but decided my room had to be cleaned — that was priority. The windows in my condo are, well, cheap and crappy, and have been leaking water in for the duration …
