Witch as Reality, Not as Religion
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. For some witches, the practice of witchcraft is as much a religious practice as a personal reality. Others take issue with the word religious and would say it’s a spiritual practice. For witches such as myself, it’s simply a reality. But…
A New Rune Set and a Visit With Abraham-Hicks
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Yesterday, Jerry and I attended an Abraham-Hicks workshop.

A Cursin’ and a Healin’
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. To suggest that a witch can’t heal if she can’t curse is an interesting idea.

Runecasting: A Witch’s Focused Presence

We cannot lose our…
Seeing Otherness
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I’ve said it before, but life in physical form is tricky.

20 Minutes of Rape
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Another rape on a college campus, this time Stanford. In an article in the Washington Post, his morally bankrupt father referred to it as a “steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action.” Action? Is that what we’re calling…
Rite of Awen and the Pentagram
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I’ve always liked performing the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram.

Empath Strategies: Tunnel Vision
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. What if it was never about experiencing life in duality, but simply about experiencing life? Definition limits us. The more we define something, the more narrow the box in which it lives. What if we were never supposed to…

Focus Bindrunes
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Sometimes I cast runes to create a bindrune for one purpose or another.
