Flourishing
Flourishing is the process of attracting positive energy, love, light, whatever you want. This is generally done as a last step after cleansing, protecting, banishing, and warding…but we’re leaving this house, so protecting/banishing/warding is something that the new residents need to do for themselves. If your place is having new residents, anyway. Personally, I use air fresheners as ...
Figurines
Be careful with figurines (animal or otherwise) you want to bring into your home. It doesn’t matter if you are a magician, wiccan, witch, cunning-man/woman or any magical practitioner worth their salt, there will always be a certain concentration of spirits in and around your house. They are drawn to you, your magic and anything in your home that can provide a house for them. An empty vessel does ...

Swamp Witch
You might be wondering—what exactly is a Swamp Witch? The answer is pretty straightforward: a Swamp Witch is someone who feels most alive and connected when working with the magic of swamps, bogs, and marshlands. Most folks imagine a swamp as a shadowy, waterlogged place filled with strange sounds and hidden eyes peering from the darkness. That’s a great setting for a scary story, but it does not ...
The Power Of Imagination
The Spiritual world is indeed a large place; it has many dimensions and levels within it, some of which are incomprehensible to the human mind. So then how does one interpret all the magickal energies that appear during trances, deep meditations, or astral projections? The Answer is in using the great power that exists inside all of us, the Imagination. Eliphas Levi once said” Imagination is actua...
