A Samhain Ritual of Fire and Hope

Last updated on: October 10, 2025 at 9:40 am By Esa

In the dark of night they gather, lighting the fire that will guide them. Families and neighbors coming together to share what was and give hope for what will be. Stories and songs drift through the air as they feast together. Then they stuff the doll made of reeds with the asks they wish to see. The Daughter of Death blesses it and calls to the womb of the universe to accept it and fulfill the bargains struck, for all... Read more

As I drifted into what has become my morning conversation with the Divine Mother – a combination of channeling/ download/ and writing, which I am just calling Free Writing for the moment – the words just started pouring through… “The journey began inward, with the Self, as all good journeys must. Blood of my Blood: Each Guide a reflection of me and my blood – ancestors. Lessons focused on seeing, connecting, and transforming the Self. Self Foundations, healing, abilities, skills,...

Part 4, The Spell: My Personal Experience

Last updated on: July 25, 2025 at 1:00 pm By Esa

Everything that I put out there, whether it be spells, practices, frameworks, or anything else like that, I have done, tested, and measured results for. I am a results based person, especially when it comes to magic and spiritualism. If I am not experiencing or seeing tangible results, then it is not meant for me, its not my mode. I think people assume that if another person’s spell did not work for them, either it is bad spell or worse,... Read more

So this article is not for general candle spells, it is a very specific candle spell and way to execute it. If you have not read Part 1 of this article series, you need to go back and read it to understand. So from the last article, we learned about the dynamic between the Divine Mother and Father of Worlds when it comes to this magical practice. She will be creating the path for your intention to manifest, and He... Read more

Soul Coven? New Perspectives in Magical Work

Last updated on: July 15, 2025 at 2:28 pm By Esa

0 Comments

There is always a conversation somewhere on Covens. From the ideas around their purpose, the positive and negative aspects of them, how to find or how to create one. Often when we hear the word Coven, we think of a specific group of people, coming together, teaching each other, exploring/experimenting together, and doing magical works together. By definition a Coven is a group or meeting of Witches (I would say magical practitioners in general for those who like to use... Read more

Most of what we see online as far as spell work and rituals is pretty elaborate. Lots of different components, energies, and work go into them. I think in the beginning this is a good thing. It teaches you about the energies, how to use them, and how to weave them together. The more experienced we get, the less we need all that. Some may still want it or like the aesthetics of it which is fine but it isn’t... Read more

The cult of Santa Muerte. has been growing exponentially for many years now. The current estimate today is over 12 million followers world wide, many of whom are concentrated in Mexico, Central America, and the United States, but has also started to grow a strong foothold in Europe, South America, Canada, and beyond. That estimate is probably pretty low because it is based on the “known devotees” and Santa Muerte devotees have a long history of being secretive. Much like... Read more

In Times of Turmoil, Turn to the Fates

Last updated on: May 14, 2025 at 9:37 am By Esa

“In times of turmoil – turn to the Fates.” It is interesting to me that people talk about working with all kinds of Deities, but rarely do I hear talk about the Fates Deities. In our current world, with our current problems, I would think they would be the ones at the forefront of discussion, since they are the Weavers of change and cycles. Then it dawned on me, perhaps people either do not really know Them or do not... Read more
