Working Magic: Balance

Last updated on: April 24, 2020 at 11:50 am By Rachel Patterson

Each week I have been drawing an oracle card from my Flower Magic deck, today it was Begonia which signifies ‘balance’. So, I am sharing the card along with other herbs, plants, foods, tarot cards and crystals that correspond with the intent of balance. There is a video at the bottom of this blog post if you would like to watch and listen to my little talk. Work with these suggestions as a guide, trust your intuition and use what you have to hand. Candle spells, witch bottles, spell pouches or spells of any kind can benefit from using herbs, plants and crystals. Tarot and oracle cards can be used as focal point for spell work or meditation. Be creative! Read more

Kitchen Witch Bakes For April

Last updated on: March 30, 2020 at 9:36 am By Rachel Patterson

April is a lovely month particularly for those that like to garden (that includes me). The end of March/beginning of April will find me outside in my small back garden tidying up and preparing for the new season. If we are lucky the weather starts to improve, and we even get some pretty warm days. Spring has most definitely sprung, and Mother Nature is showing signs all around us. A sneak peek into the bounty of wonderful produce that is in store for us. Read more

Last updated on: March 3, 2020 at 5:40 pm By Rachel Patterson

Kitchen Witch Bakes for March March is often when we start to see the first signs of spring or if Mother Nature is being fickle (as she so often is) we can also get snow! But it does have the feel that spring isn’t too far around the corner. March also hosts the spring equinox, or Ostara as it is often called by modern pagans.

Altars: Keep the space…everybody keep the space…

Last updated on: February 28, 2020 at 10:12 am By Rachel Patterson

Over the years I have always had at least one altar, usually more (much to the dismay of my ever patient husband). Each altar has been filled with paraphernalia, beautiful items purchased from very talented creative artists and craftspeople. Added to with fresh flowers from the garden, herbs, crystals and any amount of candles. Each altar gets bits and bobs popped on it from walks and adventures; pebbles, shells, leaves and similar natural items. Any spell workings also find their way there too. It ends up with quite a lot of clutter. Then every so often I clear it all off, dispose of the natural items to the compost, cleanse the crystals, dust all the statues and give it a good clean. Then I start again… Read more
