Living the Liminal: The Still Slumbering Goddess

Last updated on: February 11, 2020 at 5:33 pm By Lisa Jade

This time of year in Nova Scotia is my least favorite month. The cold sting and icy breath of winter burns my skin, splits my lips, and freezes my tears. It can be brutal, and unforgiving to walk outside. Nowhere do I feel this maiden Goddess of Spring ready to emerge. Read more

The Balancing Path: Can Pets Be Familiars . . .

Last updated on: January 4, 2022 at 8:54 am By Sidney Eileen

Familiars are not especially common, even in pagan and witchy circles, although a huge portion of us do have and love our pets. Is every pet a familiar? Definitely not, but that doesn’t negate the very real experiences that people have with animals that are familiars. Read more

Phoenix Rising: Fire, Water, and Words: Divination with the Goddess Brigid

Last updated on: February 8, 2020 at 3:36 pm By Robin Corak

The period of time directly before, during, and after Imbolc typically finds me working more closely with Brigid and thus always seems to compel me to make use of fire, water, and words in my divination efforts. The arts of ceromancy and bibliomancy allow us to draw upon Brigid’s power and these sacred elements. Read more

Starry Eyed Witch: The Bloody Birth of a Wild Witch

Last updated on: February 7, 2020 at 4:53 pm By Joey Morris

It can seem as though the reclamation of one’s inner wild self is as simple as a moment of glorious realization. The reality of personal reclamation was far more brutal.

Between Two Worlds: Struggle and Conflict

Last updated on: February 6, 2020 at 9:16 pm By Brianne Raven Wolf

My struggle has to do with all the negativity that I'm exposed to daily. There is and has been a war on our human rights worldwide, as well as climate and economic change. The rich get richer. Greed. How do we keep on fighting? We stand together and demand what's right. Read more

Magick IRL: 100% That Witch

Last updated on: February 5, 2020 at 6:09 pm By Vincent Higginbotham

Witchcraft is so totally not all about the Tarot and the incense. It has very little to do with the stones you collect and the herbs you are growing. What Witchcraft is really about, at the heart of itself, is the knowledge you grow and the truths that you collect. Read more

The DruWitch Way: Spells and the Witch’s Power

Last updated on: January 29, 2020 at 8:12 pm By Tara Sanchez

I’ve never believed that science and magick are mutually exclusive. Far from it. We know magick can work so why are the results so difficult to reproduce? In my opinion it all comes down to “power” and the manner in which we direct it. Read more

Magick IRL: I’m Still Breathing

Last updated on: January 28, 2020 at 6:15 pm By Vincent Higginbotham

When I was 18, I figured I would die with in the decade. Now that I am 38 I am shocked I made it but thankful for the life I’ve lived. When you look at my life there are two halves. The beginning, which sucked, and the now. Maybe that’s all part of the magick of becoming what the world needs. Read more
