Walking the path of a witch is intertwined with nature. We ebb and flow with the lunar, seasonal and cosmic tides. We also need to connect with the land upon which we reside.

Underpinning my magical is an interest in metaphysics, the core of which is a reminder that we are energetic beings residing in an energetic world. This provides me with an understanding as to the internal energy fluxes as well as how magic works.

Have you ever considered your connection with land? Not just the place where you are living, but all land, Mother Earth?
When we turn our thoughts to where we live, have you ever considered all beings who have lived before you?

Oh, do not tell the Priest our plight,
Or he would call it a sin;
But - we have been out in the woods all night,
A-conjuring Summer in!
And we bring you news by word of mouth-
Good news for cattle and corn-
Now is the Sun come up from the South,
With Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!

The so-called ‘Evil Eye Tree’ at Uchisar, Cappadocia,where people have hung literally hundreds of evil eye amulets.
Often made from gkass, these amulets are believed to be a protective symbol, warding off negative energy whilst bringing good luck in return.
