The Waters of Purity (Simplified)

This spell originally appeared in Llewellyn’s 2019 Witches’ Spell-a-Day Almanac.

Materials:
Your chalice filled with water

            Ground and center. Contemplate that which troubles you and imagine that it takes the form of a black smoke, which you now direct into the water with each exhale. Continue this until you feel the water has become dark and “poisoned”. Enchant the water, saying:

“Poison I have held within
Fear or anger, shame or sin
Transform by breath of witches’ flame
My power sh...

A Spell for Sleep

Here is a simple spell I wrote to help bring a good night’s sleep when it has been elusive.

Stuff a small light blue pouch with equal parts lavender, chamomile, and valerian root.

Breathe into the pouch to “awaken” the herbs and then speak into it:

“Hypnos come, my mind make light
That I may slumber through the night.”

On the last word, quickly tie the pouch closed to “trap” your breath and intention inside. Gently press the pouch against your heart, feeling a sense of openness and heart-center...

Conjuring the Silver Thread

Cultivating a Spiritual Bond with the Ancestors of our Craft

Working with spirits is a hallmark of the Witches’ Craft. Whether we see those spirits as being the spiritual consciousness within a plant, a stone, an animal, a place, or even that of a faery, an angel, an ancestor, or a deity, a witch places themselves in a position to engage these non-human intelligences, to learn the deeper magical secrets of nature. But of all the spirits a with whom a witch may choose to work, none are as deeply ...

My Introduction to Reiki

This is the introduction from my book, Awakening the BlueLotus: A Reiki Level One Handbook .

My first introduction to Reiki was in the form of a discussion with one of my first spiritual teachers back in the late 1980’s. She explained to me how healing energy was channeled through the hands of the practitioner and into the recipient, adding that it “could do no harm”. I was fascinated by the knowledge that the energy was passed by way of a controlled metaphysical experience in which specific symb...

The Witches’ Tree

Tradition, Innovation, and My Path In Between

And, lo! There grows a faery tree,
where do four roads and powers meet
And on it many roses bloom
With starlight; a myriad of hues
Into its secrets we are drawn
By midnight, sunset, noon, and dawn
And the mysteries of the deep
Well of stars where the Old Ones sleep
And dream of future things now past
To draw together the small and vast.
And thus conjoined; two flames in one
The witches’ fire has now been won.

I have been practicing some form of witch...

A Mirror Reversing

(2nd verse to be written backwards and reflected in a mirror)

 

Turned, the words within the mirror

Shall turn my image to make me dearer

I speak the words to make them clearer

And draw successes ever nearer:

 

Reflect, reverse, revise, rename

Rescind, retrace, return, reframe,

Repair, reset, recast, regain,

Recoup, rewind, revere, relate.

The Rise of the Warlock

            For practitioners of Witchcraft stemming from Gardner’s Wicca, warlock1 is a dirty word. There seems to be no a shortage of practitioners who will loudly “inform” those of us who identify as warlocks, that it is an insult, meaning “oath-breaker” and especially the breaker of an oath one has made to their coven. Never mind that this isn’t actually true.

            Warlock used to mean “one who breaks an oath” (a charge first leveled in the 14th century by Christian authorities, so...

A Healing Dream

To you now a healing dream,

To sit beside a tranquil pool

Beneath the shade of faery tree

That sings to you a faery song

That eases pain and lulls the mind

That knits the bones and staunches blood

That bolsters strength and life combined

And so now healed, by thought and word.

To Bring Stability

Sense of balance torn asunder

Spinning ground that moves from under

feet now firm we right this wrong:

On still ground stand, both sure and strong.
