Kitchen Witchcraft: A Kitchen Altar & witchy workings in the Kitchen

Last updated on: January 31, 2017 at 10:47 am By Rachel Patterson

I think having an altar in your kitchen gives it a focal point; it doesn’t have to be big.

Gods & Goddesses colouring book…get yer crayons out

Last updated on: January 28, 2017 at 12:33 pm By Rachel Patterson

Publisher to me: Would your daughter be interested in doing the artwork for a gods & goddesses colouring book? There followed a quick family meeting with discussions about having to get all the considerable amount of drawings done in the school summer holidays so it didn't interfere with GCSE work...

Kitchen Witchcraft: Your sacred kitchen & Snow White

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 10:44 am By Rachel Patterson

So you might see the kitchen as a wonderful creative space or you might loathe it completely and only ever use the microwave (gasp). But it is still a kitchen; it is still a space that you have to make food in. So how about making it a magical space? Read more

Witchcraft: Faith, religion or practice?

Last updated on: January 20, 2017 at 1:18 am By Rachel Patterson

The sound of silence…or noise

Last updated on: January 10, 2017 at 11:25 am By Rachel Patterson

Sounds provoke all kinds of emotions and feelings but they also inspire magic and can be used to raise energy. There will always be particular sounds that you associate with a memory, person or place and these can be incredibly powerful. Read more

Falling off the wheel: Menopausal Mother Nature

Last updated on: December 19, 2016 at 11:36 am By Rachel Patterson

I find myself again struggling with the winter solstice - not because I want to argue with the planetary alignment (I wouldn't dare, they are much bigger than me...) but because of the mad weather in the UK. Read more

To witchy wear or not to witchy wear…

Last updated on: January 16, 2017 at 12:00 pm By Rachel Patterson

Having been through many wardrobe changes in my life; hey I was a teenager in the 80s complete with ra ra skirts, pixie boots and neon leg warmers (oh how I wish it were still the 80s...) but my dress sense has changed over the years depending on my age, where I was working and what I was doing at the time.

Last updated on: December 7, 2016 at 3:09 pm By Rachel Patterson

Do you label who you are? When I give a talk or introduce myself I usually feel the necessity to give myself a label to let people know what 'branch' of paganism I follow but it can be difficult to pin point it. I then question why I feel the need to put myself in a neat little box with a precise label on because I generally fight against being compartmentalised...and I think it is a combination of several things: Read more
