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.

Following on from my previous post where we explored some misconceptions with respect to the Wiccan Rede, in this post I explore the concept of the Threefold Law of Return.

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?

In my latest Substack article, I explore one of the many misconceptions about contemporary witchcraft that tends to get a lot of people hot under the collar ~ that being the Wiccan Rede:
“Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfil:
An it harm none, do what ye will.”

Labels are interesting because not only can their meanings or what they relate to change, but also how people react to them.

I offer some foundational insights for when it comes to deepening your craft.

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.

As the veils begin to be drawn in the Northern Hemisphere, and people turn inward, underworld journeys come to mind.

If She calls, all you can do now s surrender.

Whilst the main building containing the Mesopotamia collection was closed during our visit to the Istanbul Archaeological Museum, I did come across this item of interest - a tablet with prophecy of lunar eclipses dating back to the 13th BCE.

Do you do magic?
Are you found standing at the edge of liminal spaces, whispering to the wind?
Or is reciting ancient incarnations aligned with specific planetary hours your thing?

I’m looking for guests to take part in my The Magic in You series.
