Where Do You Work Your Magic, Spells and Charms?

Last updated on: July 27, 2017 at 7:18 pm By Rachel Patterson

Where do you work your magic? In my very humble opinion and based on many years of working spells I firmly believe that the setting is not as important as the will and the intent. Not everyone has the luxury of space to set up grand magical workings and not everyone can do so or would want to in front of others in a shared house. Read more

Make it personal…bodily ingredients in magic

Last updated on: April 24, 2017 at 12:15 pm By Rachel Patterson

Now this is a subject that you will either find absolutely fascinating or you will skip quickly past this and either is absolutely OK, it is your pathway, your journey and therefore your choice about what you include or don’t but here it is just in case… Your body is the vessel that carries the magic, the energy and the intent but it is also very unique and individual to you. So, if you want to add the personal touch to any working you can literally add a bit of yourself into it. Or a bit of someone else… Read more

Cooking with the Moon phases

Last updated on: April 3, 2017 at 11:54 pm By Rachel Patterson

The power of the moon is incredibly strong and affects our moods and emotions. And most of us will be used to working with the cycles of the moon rather than against them, going with the flow so to speak can make our lives much easier. We can also tailor the foods we eat to the phases of the moon to tap into that power and to work with the rhythm of our bodies and emotions too. Read more
