I ask Tadhg and Alyssa your questions for them about Seeing and relating to other Others.

Tadhg and I talk about Illusions and Glamour, and how to see what is real.
Why would anyone want to work with Faery or the Otherworld? For me, the answer has always been, why wouldn’t you? The Other World I am using “Faery” as another name for the Otherworld— the realm of the Sídhe and the beings that we know from folklore and, for some of us, personal experience. While technically, the Sídhe are not faeries— they are actually more closely related to humans— it is easier to use these terms. I do so realizing that…
In Part 1 of Celtic Mythology Resources, I showed you some resources that were more academic and covered a lot of the Celtic mythology and folklore so you could get a good foundation of knowledge. In Part 2, I’ll be sharing more Celtic mythology resources for spirituality. I think both sides are important and one doesn’t have to be more correct than the other. But, if you’re wanting to incorporate Celtic knowledge into your daily practice, then you will be…
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…
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…
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…
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…
