The pyramid is a magical shape. The idea of the Witch’s Pyramid — also called the Four Pillars of Magic/Witchcraft and also the Four Powers of the Sphynx — isn’t originally found in Wicca/Witchcraft. It comes to us through other occult studies and philosophies of magic. Eliphas Levi was an occult magician from 19th century … More The Witch’s Pyramid: To Know, To Will, To Dare, To Be Silent
Hecate has a lot of conflicting information being given about her. She is a goddess of opposites, personified as a young woman and as a crone goddess. Is she Olympian or the child of Titans? Is she Greek or does she come from an even older culture originating somewhere else in the ancient world? However, … More My Gods and Goddesses — Hecate
Cord and knot magic is a very old form of folk magic that was often associated with wind and weather. In cord magic the spells are simply prepared ahead of time, and then used as needed. Each knot is then untied releasing the power entrapped in the cord over nine consecutive days. For cord … More Cord Magic
“Mercury Retrograde” is a phrase that causes astrology-buffs no end of grunts and groans. Personally, I’d love to just hermit myself away during these occasions, which happen about three times a year for about three weeks each. An astrological retrograde means that a planet looks like it stops in its orbit (this is called stationing) … More Mercury Is Retrograde… Again…
Ever since I started actively practicing Witchcraft, there has been a push to reclaim the word Witch from being a dark, evil, scary woman bent on hurting others, eating children, blighting crops — all the things she’s been accused of since time immemorial right up into modern day fairy tales and movies. We don’t eat … More “W” Is For Warlock
The phrase In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust, while not as common (and perhaps not as over-used as “Blessed Be”) is still one of Wicca’s quirky phrases. It comes across almost like code words, and it kind of should, because that’s where it originated. The phrase comes to us from British Traditional Wicca/Witchcraft and … More “P” Is For Perfect Love & Perfect Trust
The Nine Woods of Wiccan lore have a bit of variance to them, but if we go with the trees specifically mentioned in the long-form poem “The Wiccan Rede” we at least have somewhere to begin. Just know that this isn’t an absolute listing and depending on where you look, you will come across different … More “N” Is For Nine Woods
Early on in my practice of Wicca, I had no teacher. I didn’t even really have the internet because I started my journey before that became a big thing. I did have the library. I was very fortunate that my library had a decent selection of books on Wicca, Witchcraft, Magic, and Paganism. Some city … More “M” Is For Meeting The Morrígan
Our world, our cosmos, is full of splendor. It’s both beautiful and terrifying and I’m completely in love with it, but few things compare to the power, allure, and magic of a full moon. At its core, Witchcraft is a natural path of magic. It relies upon a deep love for and understanding of nature, … More “L” Is For Lunar
What little girl doesn’t love horses and dream of riding them? I know I did. I was never much of an artist, but from age 7 or so up through my teen years, I would doodle them. I played with toy ponies, and most of my action figure heroines rode horses, whether or not they … More “E” Is For Epona
