Aromatherapy
Smell is a big part of my life. I think maybe it’s the kitchen witch in me. I learned to really cook by smell – a little of this, a little of that, until it smells right. Cook it till it smells right. I use my nose when I craft soaps and perfumes in the…

Doing the Work
The other day, I posted a spell I did. It occurred to me later that someone with less exposure to witchery based things might not really understand that a spell without work is just a wish. You can wish for things and they might come true, they might not but there’s not a lot within…

Prosperity and Money workings
I am doing this on the day after the new moon, at the beginning of the growth cycle on purpose. Needed: Money oil – (see bottom of post), bay leaf, coins, small dish, pen or marker, green or white candle, I am also using a patchouli leaf because I have a patchouli plant that…

A Few of My Favorite Things
I’ve linked to The Green Witch on YouTube before and this post is largely inspired by her recent thrift store finds video. I thought I’d share some of my more interesting witchy things. Some of them were thrifted, some of them were quasi-inherited, and some were gifted or bought new. One of my favorite things…

The Evolution of Modern Paganism and Language
I was, of course, doing some reading and I came across a word as it relates to druidry and the very broad termed Celtic paganism. That is the Welsh word: Nwyfre. Druidry types of texts refer to it as the ‘life force’. Some sources liken it to the eastern ideas of Chi/Qi and Prana, which…

Shadow Work Prompts
Back again with more on shadow work! If you haven’t guessed by now, I do think shadow work is an important tool. I do not think that everyone should be doing it on their own. I know if I’d tried to do it on my own twenty years plus ago, it probably would have lead…

Tools of the Craft
When you first start out with witchcraft, it’s very easy to get swept up into the marketing and the commercialism that social media and aesthetics have attached to the craft. Honestly, it was that way before social media too – you read the books that listed all this fancy stuff for ‘proper’ spellworkings. I fell…

Pumpkin Spice Season
I will not apologize for loving fall or loving the great combination of cinnamon, ginger, clove, nutmeg, and/or allspice. Fall is full of some of my favorite foods and flavor combinations. I know a lot of people hate on it, especially hating on those people who rush for the first pumpkin spice latte of the…

Who can be a witch?
Literally anyone. Are there some specific practices that are considered closed? Yes. And they should be. If a culture couldn’t practice their own religion because it was deemed ILLEGAL, you, not being of that culture, have no right to just claim it. But witchery is open source and anyone who tells you different is either…
