Finding Magickal Tools

Last updated on: June 18, 2019 at 4:49 pm By Phoenix LeFae

Your magickal tools can be found, created, purchased, or gifted. What they look like and whether or not they fit a specific look really depends on your tradition and the rules therein. But those of us that are heretical Witches - doing whatever we want - we collect magickal tools that we find spiritually appealing. Find tools that make you feel more magickal and in alignment with how powerful you truly are. Read more

Smack Talk in Spiritual Communities

Last updated on: May 14, 2019 at 3:53 pm By Phoenix LeFae

Failure in communication happens. People get emotional and may not say the right thing at the right time. We are imperfect beings. I get that. Mistakes will happen, feelings will be hurt, and repairs may not be possible. But my (perhaps naive) hope, is people involved with spiritual communities are attempting to become better people themselves. Read more

The Power of Permission

Last updated on: May 1, 2019 at 5:15 pm By Phoenix LeFae

I waited so long for someone else to give me permission. Looking back I could be angry at my past self, but what would that solve? Rather, I have to look at my ten years of sitting back as a very powerful lesson. The whole point of practicing Witchcraft is to have your own agency. Read more

Beltane Flowers: A Dish For Your Beltane Potluck

Last updated on: April 29, 2019 at 12:26 pm By Gwion Raven

I realize you might not associate cauliflowers and cheese with Beltane. It's a tenuous connection, I'll grant you that. Cauliflowers have the word "flower" in them. That's enough of a link for me.
