There are many books to read, pre-made spells, and lots of verbal advice about which herbs to use and how to create a spell using sympathetic magick.

Correspondences are powerful keys that help to open specific doors, and thereby direct magickal energy in desired ways. For those who have prior knowledge of ma...

“Magic is supernatural.”“Magic is evil.”“Magic is dangerous.”“Magic is illusion.” These statements, all false, have been passed down to us by earlier generations of nonpractitioners.
