My Goddesses Are Wild And Free

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 9:11 pm By Cyndi Brannen

You say you put your goddess on a shelf, and that she comes at your command. I don't understand. My goddesses are wild and free. Why is it that some try to reduce the powers of eternal, timeless, limitless forces known to us as the deities? I've always struggled to understand this need to constrain goddesses. To deny their power. To shove them into statues that we can rub like a magic lamp to get whatever we need instantly. I truly don't understand. Read more

Spirits, Shadows and Shades

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 10:15 pm By Cyndi Brannen

Whispers when there is nobody else around. Chills down the spine. Seeing what can't be there. Coaxing the spirits of plants, stones and bones. Standing in a circle, calling forth saints and demons. Conversing with the departed. Travelling in the spirit world. As witches we walk in the world of spirits, from the plants we craft into potions to the relationships we have with our spiritual helpmates. Witchcraft is about working with these spirits, but for many of us it's also a spiritual journey. Read more

Using Binding In Witchcraft

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 10:45 pm By Cyndi Brannen

Lately it seems like binding spells have gotten a bad reputation. Far from being merely used for cursing, binding is an essential part of all witchcraft, beyond restraining undesirables or compelling a lover. We bind the ingredients in our spells to each other, to objects, to ourselves and others. All witchcraft, at least the effective kind, is spellbinding. Read more

“A Witch That Can’t Hex, Can’t Heal”

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 11:12 pm By Cyndi Brannen

These days, there seems to be a growing divide between magickal practitioners who embrace the truth of witchery compared to those who embrace a lighter form of the craft. The expression "a witch that can't hex, can't heal" is often offered as a counterpoint to sayings like "harm none," but what does this saying truly mean? Read more

Using Sacred Fires in Witchery

Last updated on: June 14, 2020 at 12:21 am By Cyndi Brannen

As the Wheel of the Year spins us towards the season when Hekate’s Garden is bountiful, now is the time to connect to the Hieros Pyr, the Sacred Fire, that is Hekate and burns within her witches through incense and ritual. Through the flame, smoke and ash, we work our magick. It is what fuels our cauldron, what lights our way, and what burns away all that would cause harm. Hail Hekate, Hieros Pyr! Read more
