Winter Solstice Hibernation Ritual

Last updated on: December 13, 2019 at 4:12 pm By Phoenix LeFae

In case, you weren't sure, I'm not a bear. I'm a simple human. I can't actually curl up in a cave and sleep for three months, as much as I might want to.

5 Essential Magical Practices

Last updated on: November 22, 2019 at 5:03 pm By Gwion Raven

Practicing magic doesn't require the perfect location or the most expensive robes or the coolest tools. Don't get me wrong, I love the tools I've collected, bought, borrowed, or been gifted over the years. They certainly get me in the mood to do magic, but I can do magic without them. In fact, most folk magic systems use every day items like candles and pins and sharpies and socks and old mason jars. Read more

I Saw My Dead Friend Today

Last updated on: October 15, 2019 at 3:56 pm By Phoenix LeFae
