Depression Invaded My Garden || A Sacred Space Gone Dormant [CC]
**PLEASE READ ME** This is my life. This is part of who I am, and even though it isn’t glamorous or beautiful, it is me. In my prose, I mention the “spirit of depression”. This is a concept that I first encountered in Terence Ward’s book Empty Cauldrons. I am still on the fence…

My Oracle Card Experience – Moving Away from Tarot [VIDEO]
Moving away from tarot was a nerve-wracking experience. It took me a while to admit the personal issues I was having with tarot. Though tarot will always have a place in my heart, and probably in my practice in the future, I’m really enjoying the more intuitive style of this oracle deck. Hello everyone. It’s…

An Incense for Bealtaine
I wanted to make this incense blend as sticks for easier burning but I guess the Gods have other plans. Either that, it’s because I’m way too forgetful and can’t remember where I put my makko powder! Anyway, if you want to know how I make incense sticks with makko powder, you can check out…

Five FREE Ways to be an Eco-Friendly Witch
I may be a bit cynical about greenwashing, eco-friendly marketing, and how corporations deal with Earth Day. It’s the one day out of the year where everyone pretends to care about the planet, the one day where people pledge to use less single-use plastics, where people pledge to reduce their carbon footprint, and where companies…

Are you an Art Witch? [Video]
What kind of ways do you incorporate art into your practice? Need inspiration?! I have that! In my own practice, I like to incorporate painting, music, and crochet (of course!). Art is as versatile as you can make it, so if you haven’t already, take the plunge and add some art to your magic.

Finding the Magic in the Mundane
Our lives in this century are so busy. We have work. We have children. We have parents or people to take care of. We plan elaborate (or simple) rituals and spells, but then life happens and our plans get thrown to the wayside. We have to learn to adapt and change when those wrenches get…

Inspiration from Rock Bay
It’s not often that a work of fiction inspires me in my personal practice, but I have been meaning to write about this book series for a long time. The Rituals of Rock Bay is a book series written by author and Druid M.A. Phillips, otherwise known as Ditzy Druid across social media. I have interviewed her…

Rosemary – Salvia rosmarinus || Magical Herbs
Rosemary is an extremely common herb in witchcraft spaces. You will often see it recommended as a substitute for any herb, though I think that’s a stretch of its associations. I think that is attributed to Scott Cunningham in one of his books about herbs or witchcraft, though I can’t remember which. The information here,…

Hard Polytheism and Soft Polytheism — What’s the Difference?
The words hard and soft have been used to describe polytheism, but some people don’t know the difference between the two! My newest video on YouTube discusses the differences but I’m going to lay them out here, too. What is Polytheism? Put very simply, polytheism is the belief in and/or worship of more than one…
