Yule, the Winter Solstice, represents the longest night and shortest day of the year. This night signifies not only the height of winter’s chill but also the moment when the sun starts its gradual return. From this point forward, the days will grow longer, and light will steadily reclaim its place, reminding us that even in the darkest times, warmth and life are always near. For many pagans, Yule is a celebration of the sun’s return, the rebirth of light, and the turning of t

The world is a very strange place these days. There's a lot of negative energy, chaos and fear mongering everywhere you look. Social medial and mainstream news outlets are constantly pushing bad news at you and eventually it all builds up and can manifest in many different ways. Some people have anxiety or depression, some have stress that gives them headaches and some people can actually develop physical illnesses due to stress. We all have these feelings at some point and a

Having an herb garden can be so rewarding. As you spend time with the plants you start to feel like you are participating in a sacred...

Herbs are the most versatile tool in the cabinet. Most of them are used for several different reasons. They have many different uses and many different energies. You can dry them, powder them (which is what I normally do), cut them fresh to use in rituals or just drink them in tea while you’re casting. ; ) This is a list of the ones that I use the most but it is in no way a complete list of all the herbs that are used in magic. I generally powder them or grind them fine with

You can spend thousands of dollars on fancy tools, herbs, color coded candles and hand made athames but it will not make you a better alchemist or spell caster. Your magic does not come from the tools that you use, it comes from inside you. These things are all used for additional energy or focus but they are not necessary. You can be just as effective with a 50 cent candle as you are with a $12 “hand poured beeswax, herb infused, organic dyed candle”. That being said, everyo

What is energy? According to physics, energy is a quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to make it function. It can neither be created nor destroyed, but can transform from one form to another. Metaphysic practitioners believe energy is the “spirit” that makes the natural world live and function. There are many different ideas of what energy is. And to be honest, they’re all correct. Nobody REALLY knows, we just have scientific theories and spir

With the Summer Solstice upon us, I wanted to talk about what it is and why it has been historically recognized and celebrated. What is a...

I have always found that starting simple and expanding from there is the best way to go. You build a firm foundation of understanding and knowledge and then you can add to it infinitely. What is Alchemy? The formal definition of alchemy is: the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. In our practical applications it is more like using chemistry to combine matter in order to transform energy. Basically we use organic materials as condu
