Book Review: Path of the Hedge Witch by Joanna van der Hoeven
This time I was smart and did not do the audio version but the digital so I can reference it again if I want to. I really enjoyed the last book by this author – enough that I’d wished I hadn’t gotten the audio as I do like to reference things and I read much…

Witch Bells
Bells originated somewhere around 3500 BCE in China. At first, they were made of pottery. They were used in the worship of their gods, as alarms, to call communities together. Metal bells came with the evolution of metallurgy in China and spread to other parts of Asia as bells became embedded in Hinduism and Buddhism.…

Book Review: The Morrigan by Courtney Weber
This was another audiobook which I’m finding a really need to get away from as I much prefer having physical copies especially of books I might want to refer to occasionally. It’s easier to flip through a paper or digital book to find something than an audio book. There are some complaints in the reviews…

Car Protection Spell Bag
I recently had a bit of a very badly timed occurrence that meant I had to get a new to me car (poor Sally just gave up in a way that we couldn’t fix). It couldn’t have come at a worse time to be honest, but it is what it is. So, I have cause…

Book Review: Psychic Witch by Mat Auryn
This is one of those books that was recommended pretty much everywhere and looked pretty interesting so, it got wishlisted until I had available book money. I’ve had it for a bit, but it wasn’t at the top of my read pile until I saw Auryn’s next book. Because I really want to get to…

Simmer Pot Spell
Simmer Pot Spell For me, a simmer pot is an all-day sort of working. Today being Samhain, it’s a good day for many different kinds of workings but manifestations, setting intentions, and ancestor veneration are all very good types of working for this day. This particular simmer pot is a manifestation working. I started this…

Book Review: Kitchen Witch by Katie Haegele and Nadine Schneider
That humble bundle I linked to the other day, I totally ended up getting it. And this was the first book I opened, really not expecting a whole lot to be honest. Most books with Kitchen Witch on the cover have been pretty underwhelming for me. I was very pleasantly surprised. There were a couple…

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…

Book Review: The Witchy Homestead by Nikki Van De Car
This is going to be a weird review that’s going to come off mostly negative even though I don’t normally do that this is an exception but it isn’t on my Not Recommended list – it’s not a bad book necessarily though there are places where it’s very wrong, there are interesting things but it…

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…
