Smogen: Cleansing With Smoke

Last updated on: July 29, 2020 at 5:48 pm By Rachel Patterson

The theory behind this type of cleansing is that the smoke attaches itself to the negative energy and as it clears it takes the negative energy with it. It is a good idea to perform this ritual on yourself on a regular basis as well as your home and workspace. Make it part of your weekly housework. After you’ve dusted and vacuumed smogen your home and yourself with an incense of your choice. Read more

Undoing or Reversing Spells

Last updated on: July 23, 2020 at 6:31 pm By Rachel Patterson

There are a few questions that I get asked on a regular basis, one of them is: “I worked a spell and it has gone horribly wrong, how do I undo it” It does happen, I suspect it has occurred for most of us at one time or another. Spells do have a habit of working in unexpected ways. Read more

The Basics: Candle Magic

Last updated on: July 15, 2020 at 11:52 am By Rachel Patterson

Candle magic is one of the most popular methods of working magic. It can be as simple as lighting a white candle and putting your intent into it or going the whole hog and tying in the correct colour of the candle, adding corresponding herbs, anointing with oil, carving runes or sigils, chanting a spell to go with it – or anywhere in between. The choice is yours, it’s a personal thing, sometimes you may want to keep it simple, other times you may want to add to it – play around with all the various methods and see what works best for you.

Water & Mirror Scrying, Crystal Ball, Pendulum & Wax Shape Reading

Last updated on: July 6, 2020 at 7:51 pm By Rachel Patterson

Scrying is the art of telling the future using a reflective surface which can be a crystal ball, a mirror or the surface of any body of water. Scrying is easier to work with at night time under the light of the moon but it can be done in the dark with a well-positioned candle. See what images appear on the surface of the water and try to decipher what they mean to you. Read more

Sun Magic: Sunrise and Sunset Spells

Last updated on: June 27, 2020 at 9:22 am By Rachel Patterson

And just like the moon the sun has phases which can be used to tie in with your magical workings to add an extra boost of power. The sun measures time, where it sits in the sky denotes what time of the day it is, and a sun dial would be quite useless without the sun to cast a shadow! I also think that point between night and day and vice versa, that moment of hand over is quite special. Here are two spells for both the sunrise and the sunset. Read more

Petitions and Sigil Magic

Last updated on: June 19, 2020 at 10:35 am By Rachel Patterson

Petition papers and name papers are slips of paper that you write a person’s name on or a symbol or sigil or short phrase corresponding with the intent of your spell work. Mostly the petition papers and name papers are placed under a candle, added to a mojo bag or bottle. Name papers will have a person’s name on, the intended recipient of the spell, whilst a petition paper will have a wish or desire on. Read more
