Most people don’t perform ritual or cast spells every day, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do magic every day! I have picked up a lot of little ways to do ‘micro magic,’ little bits of everyday magic that you can make part of your ordinary daily habits. Everyday magic is about creating little magickal habits that are part of your daily routine. “I need to do magic every day HALP!” I see many magickal practitioners start to freak out…
I’ve heard so many people say, “I can’t meditate,” or “I can’t get into a trance state.” Yes, you can meditate and you enter trance every day. You’re just not aware of it. So, in this article are some meditation tips that will help you learn to mindfully meditate and enter that trance frame of mind at will, and some misconceptions about meditation that might be holding you back. I’ll also include a list of cool stuff that I’ve found helpful…
Happy Mermaid Monday! My husband came across a picture of “Mermaid Toast” and knew I would love it. He was right. Once I saw this magical Mermaid Toast I had to make my own. OMG Mermaids! Here’s the thing, I’ve recently switched my already complicated diet (gluten free vegetarian – no eggs) to a keto, high fat low carb version. If bread and toast weren’t a problem before, it sure is now! Fortunately, this kitchen witch loves to experiment, and…
I love crystals for their beauty and their energies. If you want to start your own collection of crystals but don’t know where to begin, then here is a list of what I feel are the seven most essential crystals to have in your collection. I’ll also give some tips on how to find the right crystals and some basic info on how to work with them. I’m going to share some information on each stone, but if you want…
The Grimoire. The book of Shadows. The Book of Mirrors. The Spellbook. It’s hard to imagine a witch or magician without seeing them holding one of these. Every TV show or movie that has magic in it always has a shot of this amazing, ancient-looking tome of knowledge that can save or destroy the world, depending. The truth is, your own magick book (by whatever name) is the most important magick book you’ll ever read. Why Is My Own Magick…
Maybe you’ve thought about trying yoga but haven’t worked up the nerve yet. There’s something very appealing about that calm strength that you see from other yogis. Imagine yourself serenely standing on your head on a beautiful tropical beach with a calm smile on your face. Sounds unbelievably great, right? But, you don’t need a beach or have to be able to stand on your head to get that same feeling— you just need a little yoga. So, here are…
Salty Situation Every witch or magician knows that salt is a powerful substance for grounding and protection. Nothing feels more magical than sitting inside a circle of salt and candles and getting your witch on. Salt is the perfect a-salt weapon against negativity! (I’m not even a little bit sorry for that one 😛 ) As useful and awesome as salt is, there are plenty of times when pouring salt on the ground is just not… kosher. (Ahaha! Still not…
If you think of “fortune telling” when you hear the word, Tarot, then you’re in for a treat. Tarot is not just for fortune telling. It’s a powerful tool for meditation, personal growth and development, spiritual and magickal practice, and making sense of the here and now. Tarot for Meditation I think my spiritual practice really got serious when I was given my first Tarot deck, the Dragon Tarot, when I was twelve. The deck gave me a tool to…
Why Travel Altars? Travel altars are great for more than just travel. They are compact, portable, and easily put away, so they are also great for the magickal practitioner who needs privacy or just doesn’t have a lot of space. Maybe you live with people who are uncomfortable with the idea of you being a witch/wizard/magician. Or, you don’t have much space to set up a permanent altar. Maybe you’re a traveler and your tools must fit in a suitcase…
Preparing for Successful Magick: My first piece of advice to anyone wanting to learn to perform any kind of magick is, learn to meditate! “But that’s boring!” you may say. Well, suck it up. It will stop being boring when your spells work! 😛 Any magick requires a clear mind, clear intention, and directed emotion. If you can’t calm your mind, you won’t be able to focus it. Your thoughts will be scattered and your results will be weak, even…
