The Pros and Cons of the Witch Trend

Last updated on: April 8, 2019 at 2:37 pm By Phoenix LeFae

The current Witchcraft trend, or what I refer to as #witchcraft is fine with me - mostly.

The Goddess That Showed Up And What Happened Next

Last updated on: April 3, 2019 at 1:26 pm By Gwion Raven

In some cases, the calling of the gods isn't much more than reciting their names out loud. It's more of a polite invitation to attend a tea-party. The gods are asked to sit in a corner and eat cucumber sandwiches and not bother anyone too much while the magickal working takes place. Read more

Messages from Spirits of the Land

Last updated on: March 20, 2019 at 7:08 pm By Phoenix LeFae

This may be potentially controversial, but the Fae, Spirits of the Land, and Spirits of Place, and even the wild, are all basically the same thing. We are looking at semantics. Yes, there may be subtle differences in each of these labels, but overall they are all in the same bunch. Read more

Last updated on: March 20, 2019 at 3:59 pm By Phoenix LeFae

I do my own solo workings. I keep up on daily practice, most of the time. I have a small coven that I see regularly. And I am blessed with a vibrant local public community that I can tap into. All of that is great, but there is something about a bigger function that is different than how you might be fed by smaller events. Read more
