Choosing a patron deity can be a big deal: it’s like choosing your witchy mentor, you go-to god/goddess, shaping your spiritual life for years to come. Your patron can be a powerful source of spiritual insight and development. I’ve been asked a LOT about this over the years, and I remember my own frenzied worries […]
I remember the first time I came across witchcraft. I was about 13. I was flipping through the pages of a teen magazine and inbetween “I’m 14 and I’ve never snogged anyone AM I A FREAK!?” agony aunt pages (snogging is english for kissing, btw) and which S Club 7 boy was the fittest (the […]
Since this Witches’ year is all about getting my witch on, I wanted to talk about a reason I used to not get my witch on. The awesome thing about witchcraft and wicca is that you are never powerless – since it’s the spirituality of personal responsibility, we know there is always something we can […]
I don’t think this post is going to make me incredibly popular. But who cares? My site, my rules. Recently I recieved a comment about my love of Charming Pixie Flora on Youtube. It declared Flora a fraud, and said that charging $660 a month for her private coaching course was pure greed. I chatted […]
This week I’ve been flicking through books in the Religion and Mind Body Spirit section of the library, and attending a course at the Brahma Kumari centre. I’ve been reading stuff about meditation, the path to God, God’s status as perfect and super awesome, and religeousness being about aesceticisim and choosing a path of nothing […]
The moon has a big focus in witchcraft. We have full moon rituals, drawing down the moon rituals, new moon rituals, moon water, moon crystals, moon astrology – we have moon everything, y’all. On a bus home from work the other day, I saw the moon in the sky, and she was gorgeous. However, I […]
I cannot believe I am stooping so low as to write this post. Fluffy Bunnies is a term used within the pagan community to describe, essentially, how much less informed and trusting other people are than you, new wide-eyed converts to wicca, or people in the community who focus on the love and light aspects […]
Ooooh I love this season. I love it when it gets dark early, the pavements smell of earth and there are still enough leaves to kick at the side of the road. I think it’s partly because I am at my most productive after dark, when I feel like I’m not wasting the precious sunlight […]
Once upon a time, I tried to get my brain around the God vs Goddess thing. The whole “there must be balance” shebang. God’s super manly man traits and abilities are there to balance Goddess’ mega feminine female skills and quirks, and that’s why there are two. I made a list in my witchy diary […]
The last month has been interesting. My commitment to do something witchy every day HAS resulted in me doing something witchy every day (phew!) but not a lot of witchy stuff every day. I did find it pretty hard to fit stuff in. My problem is that I see spirituality as a kind of hobby […]
This weekend I packed my little suitcase and adventured over to Glastonbury for a little taster of the Glastonbury Goddess Conference. I booked a workshop with grandmother witch extrordinaire Z Budapest a few weeks ago and I was super looking forward to it. I have always wanted to go to the Goddess Conference, and here […]
It’s funny how there are so many positive thinking/you can change your life/law of attraction/wicca 101/self help bestseller books out there all with exactly the same theme and information in it? And isn’t it funny that one person who is into that kind of stuff will probably own or have read about 5 – 10 […]
I’ve been reading Avalon Within by Jhenah Telendru and am thinking about using mythology as inspiration. A long time ago, when I started reading grown up copies of the greek myths as oppose to the watered down illustrated kiddy versions, I decided I Did Not Like Greek Mythology. Let me sum it up for you: […]
Witches know that darkness in itself is not evil – that’s why a lot of us don’t like being called white witches and don’t quite trust stuff named “Lightworking”, as it’s feeding into the dark-is-evil sterotype. Generally bad stuff tends to get called dark or gets roped under the “darkness” category, probably because dark is […]
So have I been mired in my own self pity these last few days. I’m a girl, I have ups, I have downs. So I completed the age old girly feel-better ritual – bubble bath, smelling of cuddles. And a book. Dipping into de Grandis for some words of wisdom (I promise, I do read […]
I have been hunting, and I discovered that as part of the house move I did some five months ago, all my 101 books are back at my mum’s house, and I have only my favourites with me. Sigh. There goes all my 101 revision. What I am learning however, is the power of prayer. […]
Over Christmas, we made a Christmas Buddha-shrine in our sitting room instead of a Christmas tree. It lit up and everything. My housemate is Buddhist, so it was the sensible course of action. Hooray! It’s still there – it’s too nice to take down. This Ostara, after living here with my housemate and my boyfriend (name of Superman) for the last […]
Dear regular reader, you may have noticed a mermaid theme running through a lot of my posts. I confess – I FREAKIN” LOVE MERMAIDS, AND I DON’T CARE WHO KNOWS IT. Here are six reasons why. 1. I am super-crazy about the not-quite human. I spent my kiddy days reading mythology, pretending to be an […]
I’ve found the traditional elemental associations of the wheel of the year a little odd, always. I think it’s regularly earth in winter, air in spring, fire in summer, and water in autumn, and so they are associated with each of the season’s exquinoxy events. But, like wands being associated with fire in the Tarot, […]
I remember being a cheery teen wiccan, chowing down books of spells and goddess mythology, wanting to belong. I’m not sure I had much direction even then, or a solid path of what I wanted to do with the wicca stuff, I just knew that if I found my tradition and my magical name all […]
