Have you ever had a day where you just wonder if you are doing the right thing or are on the right path? I’m sure you have, because you are human and we all have this uncanny knack of having self doubt. But we know that really we are just worrying about things and making sure we are doing the right thing or not.  So I have written a little spell just to help show you your path and help you to get into focus. All you need are some rose petals and your hands, that’s it, remember simple magic

Magic is within us all. It isn’t something that only ‘special’ people have.  We all have the ability to live a magical life.  It’s a choice whether we do or do not.  Magic is strength, your passion, your anger, your soul.  It comes from the very core of your inner most self and can be changed depending on how you are feeling and what you want it to do. Magic isn’t something that creates glittery fairy dust and whooshes of rainbow coloured clouds.  It is a primitive desire to want something to happen or not happen. Witches use magic in

I wanted to spread a little light to you all today as the day seems to have brought it’s own golden light with the sunshine.  But if you are feeling a little low and may be feeling like you cannot do what you need to do, or feel like too many people are throwing their expectations at you, just take a little light from wherever you can take it. You can take a little from me, I offer it to you gladly 🙂 You can also try my little quick and easy ‘Light Be Me’ spell! Light a candle, yellow

Holey stones (also known as Odin Stones or Hag Stones) are literally stones with natural holes in i.e. made by nature by crashing together along a sea bed with water rushing past and then through them creating the holes. Holey stones have been used for thousands of years for 3 main purposes, depending on your beliefs and also where you live.  The 3 main uses are: Healing – It is said that someone wearing a holey stone around their neck will be cured of any disease.  You can also rub a healing stone over an affected wound (over the top

I have always loved candles.  The light, the mood, the warmth and the atmosphere they bring with them.  When a candle is lit it can give you so many feelings and enhance so many moods.  Love, romance, mystery, power, magic, celebration, joy, respect, mourning and more.  We have a lot of candles in our house and I love to light them as often as I can and sit just by candlelight and reflect on the day, or cuddle up on the sofa with hubby and the girls and watch a movie by candlelight. The soft light of the flame draws

I was asked the other day if being a witch was ‘difficult’.  I replied, with “do you find it hard being a Christian?”,  strangely enough they left me alone after that 😉 but it made me think about how I see my life and how witchcraft ties in with it. I don’t actively try to ‘be’ a witch because it is just part of me, so for that part at least it is not hard at all.  However, the prejudice can be.  In this day and age, you would think that people would have got over the whole ‘you must

Before we start, can I just say that I am not anti ‘Wiccans’. So prior to people getting their knickers in a twist (ouch!) please read the whole page before commenting. Thanks! When I tell people I am a Witch, about 95% of the replies I receive say “So you’re Wiccan?”….No. I am a Witch, because I use magic, therefore I practise Witchcraft. This means, I do whatever I need to, when I need to. Witchcraft dates back thousands of years to it’s roots in folk magic/village wise women, where as Wicca was created in the 1950’s. A witch does

Crystals have been used throughout history for their healing and magical qualities. Many people believe that each stone emits a certain energy which can have a beneficial effect on our well being. Stones can be carried around with you from day to day to help.  As with all ‘tools’, crystals are not required to cast a spell (nothing is apart from you!) however, they do make great gifts and are also used widely for crystal healing. Agate Tones & strengthens body/mind/spirit, imparts a sense of strength & courage. General healing, ease pain from bruises, strains and sprains. Alexandrite Soothes nervous

These should never be eaten or drunk without talking to a qualified herbalist first.  Please check with a herbalist or a doctor before you make any brews or ingest these herbs. Always check before you use any herb because some herbs can stop conventional medicines working.  Herbs can heal and help with spell work, but herbs can also kill. BE CAREFUL AND ALWAYS CHECK FIRST! Herbs marked with a * sign next to it should not be drunk or eaten without being given by a herbalist as they can be extremely dangerous. Absinthium – * Healing, good health, fights off

In ancient times spells written by witches contained items such as “eye of newt” and “white mans foot”, these were simply names given to herbs and plants and not real eyes and feet! Here is a list of magical and ancient folklore names for herbs. The magical and ancient folklore name is in bold; the common name is in normal everyday modern name. For spell ingredients please check variations of the name, for example: Goose Blood = Blood Of A Goose, Dog = hound, Donkey = Ass = Mule, Pig = Swine etc. Adders Tongue  or Tongue of Adder/Snake Dogstooth

Using correspondences such as colours, or tools such as cauldrons etc are not needed in witchcraft at all, I rarely use anything!  All you really need is YOU.  However, sometime it is also nice to ‘set  the scene’ or use colours and tools when making art and craft items for friends. You can use colour in many ways in the Craft, such as ribbons, colours of text, candles, altar cloths, clothes, jewellery and more.
