Healing from Magickal Burnout: How it happens

Last updated on: January 10, 2019 at 11:48 am By Courtney Weber

On my last night of the festival, I walked the muddy fields by myself. Everyone around me seemed enthralled with the afterglow of the main ritual, the one I’d left early.

I sat in the mud and cried. “Do you want to quit this... Read more

6 Easy Ways to Bring More Magick to Your Yule

Last updated on: December 11, 2018 at 6:01 pm By Courtney Weber

Samhain is often considered “The Witch” holiday, but I disagree! Yule is packed with Magick. But are you looking for a few new things to add? See below for easy ways to bring even more Magick to this special time. 1.) A Magickal Gift Exchange For a group: In my old Coven, we encouraged guests at our Yule ritual to bring a Magickal gift (candles, oil, stones, a spell, etc.).

Can Magick Stop Climate Change?

Last updated on: December 5, 2018 at 5:42 pm By Courtney Weber

“Is there any point?” I asked her, expressing my dismay over the most recent report on climate change. It was a cold and wet day, but the memories of the summer’s forest fires were still fresh. I was snapping beans with my High Priestess. I hadn’t seen her in months, even though I’d promised myself to not let a Moon go by without dropping by for a cup of tea. It had been a hard day, but snapping beans and... Read more

How do you practice Witchcraft when you’re too tired to practice Witchcraft?

Last updated on: November 13, 2018 at 10:33 am By Courtney Weber

You’re a Witch. You practice Witchcraft. As your High Priestess, Magickal Partners, or simply yourself try to remind you, it’s called Witchcraft for a reason: it’s something that needs practice and improvement. A musician may be born with musical ability and a Witch born with Magickal ability, but if either won’t practice, neither will get very far. But what do you do when you’re too tired from life to practice daily? How do you practice Witchcraft when you’re too tired to practice... Read more

A gift we give ourselves (Forgiveness Part 2)

Last updated on: September 6, 2018 at 2:49 pm By Courtney Weber

Recently, I posted a blog about forgiveness. A few people were mad about it. “Forgiveness puts the blame on the victim!” was the main concern. I hear that. I’ve seen that. That also wasn’t what I said. This morning, I received word that an old friend had passed away. We had a tumultuous past. Honestly, there was a time when he was a real dick. Then again, at that same time, I was mean and quite a dick, myself. It... Read more
