How I came to the Craft
In the mid ’90s, a school friend handed me a book that changed my life. It was Teresa Moorey’s “Witchcraft: A Beginner’s Guide”. I devoured it that night, and a thirst for more was kindled deep within. I had to give that book back to my buddy the next day, but I re-read it a couple of weeks later, when I borrowed it from the library. I also ransacked the non-fiction section for similar material,…
A 1990s Witch’s Book List
I was going through my first magical journal the other day, and found a list of recommended reading material, and it is a fascinating snapshot of what it was like being a new Witch in the 90s. So, in case anyone is interested, here’s the list: Adler, Margot. Drawing Down the Moon Beth, Rae. Hedge Witch Bonewits, Isaac. Real Magic Bourne, Lois. Witch Amongst Us, Conversations with a Witch,…
Queen of Witches, Queen of All,
Listen now and hear my call,
Diana-Hecate, Trivia divine,
Mother of Witches, Mistress of time,
I come to thee now, in reverence and honor,
Take me in as one of your daughters.
Let me be as Aradia, as Circe, a child of thee,
Let me come into my own being.
Free me, unleash me, unbind me,
Let thy power flow into my being.
Diana-Hecate, Moonlit, Torchbearing Queen,
I love and worship you, with my heart's beating.

Improving your Intuition
There is a common misconception that only certain people are intuitive, that it is purely a metaphysical skill. A quote that really changed my perception of intuition was discussed by an author who gave a discussion on the different books on intuition and witchcraft she had written, “Intuition is a muscle”. But this would mean that everyone has this muscle! Many people feel barred from even trying to do magic, pick up a tarot deck or rune set, communicate with a passed relative, or even consult with their deity or god because they believe they are not intuitive. Coming from someone who is naturally gullible / somewhat naive, I want to talk a bit about what intuition is and how anyone can become more intuitive.
What is intuition?
The best way I can define intuition concisely is the ability to understand or know information immediately, without any conscious reasoning or evidence. The ability to know something without being told or being shown proof. This may sound completely foreign or impossible, so let me provide some context. Have you ever heard the phrase “The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife”? Have you ever gotten a “bad vibe” from someone and avoided them? That is your intuition at work! Even interpreting emotional context based on someone’s vocal tone, pitch, body language, are forms of intuitive understanding.
It may seem strange to think social nuances we have been trained to observe and interpret since the day we were born could involve intuition, but think about it. Is there any physical evidence or conscious reasoning to explain tension that is literally palpable? Is there physical proof that when someone speaks in a certain tone or pitch, or moves in a certain way, that they are angry? No, these are just things we have trained ourselves to understand. A form of intuition. But of course, this may not translate over to tarot, or spirit and deity communication as easily as one would like.
How does intuition work?
When discussing how intuition works exactly, we have to discuss what exactly someone who is intuitive actually senses. I look at intuition as a form of energy work. Lets briefly discuss the “Thick Tension” example. Tension from a conversation is not a physical concept in that it is not a literal brick that has weight when held in someone’s hand. But the conversation still disrupted the surrounding area, due to the energy that conversation created. Think about how different emotions feel like different things. Many describe anger as sharp, jabbing, thick. Sadness is often equated with water, such as when someone is “pouring their heart out”. Although emotions are not bricks, the energy they have creates a physical disturbance. intuition includes being able to interpret those energies even though they can’t be given physical evidence of existing.
There are a variety of different ways to sense energy, many of which include employing clair senses. Clair senses refer to the ability to have intuitive understanding through our senses, the discussion of which could take up many more posts, but I will link resources at the end of this post. Some of the kinds you may be familiar with include clairvoyance, clairaudience, claircognizance, and clairempathy (also known as being and “empath”).
So how can I improve my intuition?
Well, it depends on what you want to be able to do! But I will link and discuss a multitude of different exercises and things you can do to improve your intuition.
Be aware of physical sensations when speaking with others or entering situations. Do you feel at ease with someone even though you don’t know them? Or do you have a sinking feeling in your stomach that you are trying to ignore? Listen to your gut! More often than not, you will find your “hunch” being right, especially as you practice.
Practice divination! I am not just saying this because I love divination, I’m saying this because I primarily improved my claircognizance through using divination. I used to not really have hunches, but now I have extremely accurate ones after 3 years of practicing tarot reading and other forms of divination.
Keep a dream journal and try to start interpreting your dreams. As nonsensical as they may seem, if you research symbolism, you may begin to see patterns in your dreams that reflect the main problems or situations in your life. I know I have! And I rarely remember my dreams.
Practice identifying objects without looking at them. This is a fun sensory game for most, but with time and more difficult items, you may be able to sense the energy of the item itself, see an image of it in your minds eye, hear a sound it makes, etc. If you want to amp this up, close your eyes and walk through a room while trying not to bump into anything! This is great for practicing sensing the aura’s of objects, and the more you can sense, the more you can try to interpret.
The next two exercises I am taking from Ellen Dougan’s book “The Natural Psychic”.
The first is practicing using your senses, and requires you to journal for four days.
Day 1: Seeing day
You should focus on your environment as if you are seeing it for the first time. When you enter a new room or landmark, you scan teh area to get a lay of the land, right? Take time to notice colors, shapes, people and items that catch your attention. How do these make you feel? Write down what you notice.
Day 2: Hearing day
No background music today! We drown out a lot of the sounds in our environment to focus on individual tasks. Today, spend time listening to your environment, what do you hear? It would be great to go to a nature location during this day. Take note of what you hear and how it makes you feel.
Day 3: Touching day
At this point, you should be getting the drill. When you touch items today, really spend time touching them. Feel the fabric of your clothing as you get dressed, your keyboard and mouse when you type, feel your own pulse, pet your animals. How do you feel when touching different items, and how does touch impact others, such as your pets?
Day 4: Sensing day
Today we focus on our emotions, and how our environment makes us feel. Take note of how certain environments, certain people, make you feel. You can do this with plants as well! Take note of what you sense.
The second is the ace of spades exercise, and requires a deck of cards.
Take the ace of hearts, the ace of diamonds, and the ace of spades out of the deck. Place all three face down on a flat surface and then mix them up before lining them up in a row. Go over each card one at a time and try to figure out which one is the ace of spades. Turn it over to see if you’re right! For a trial run, do this no more than 10 times in one sitting, and note how many times you were correct. This is a great way to identify what clair senses you may be employing. Answer these questions about the times you were correct,
Did you “just know” it was that card, a feeling in your gut?
Did you know it was the card when you touched it?
Did your inner voice tell you which one it was?
Did you feel an emotional response?
Did you see the card in your mind’s eye?

looking into wicca
i’m researching wicca because i think that may be my religion but i have some questions. i’m already pagan but not any specific kind, really. my hesitation with wicca is the use of masculine and feminine deities and no androgynous or non-binary ones.
is it possible to follow the path of wicca but have non-binary gods?
If you’re interested in joining a Traditional Wiccan coven, be aware that most will have their own ideas about and names for the gods - sometimes these will be specific to the tradition, sometimes to that particular coven. So when you’re working together as a group, it’s those gods who will be invoked, in those specific ways. Who you choose to additionally worship in your personal practice is up to you. So, your coven may worship Cernunnos and Aradia (to use names published in the Farrar’s “A Witches’ Bible”) and when you’re in Circle with them, that’s who you also worship - and then when you’re alone at home, you instead work with Dionysus or Hapi or whoever you want!
In fact, some lines of Wicca have a monist tradition that sees the Divine as a being of all genders, beyond difference and divide, an unknowable deity more akin to Fate, a source for all existence that is sometimes referred to as “Dryghtyn”. From this source flows the spectrum of all diversity, including the Lady of the Moon and the Lord of Death and Resurrection; the gods of the Wica.
Also, the thing about Wicca is that this Goddess and Horned God are not simply eternal polar opposites - they’re a complementary pair, whose different energies work together to show us how to be our best selves. In my experience, the focus of a Wiccan Witch isn’t so much on the meaning of the binary ends of the spectrum, but on how to embody and balance the whole thing!
And as new generations of Wiccans step up to take leadership roles and make their voices/experiences heard, Wiccan traditions are becoming richer by taking on new ideas about just what it means to be masculine or feminine or both or neither! Individual Wiccans will have different ideas about what those terms mean with regards to their magic or gods. So if you’re more drawn to solitary eclectic Wicca, the only traditions are those you choose to follow. Just make sure you understand why you’re choosing them.

Tips I used for learning plants.
I don’t know about you but I can’t always just sit down with a notebook and pen with my resources and make notes, even though learning about plants is a subject I am passionate about I often suffer from information overload. So here are some way I learn about plants every day;
1) Fill all your social media platform with plants - Exposure is the key here, follow herbalists, botanist, nature photographers, gardeners, medicine makers, plant bloggers, green witches etc. Fill your feed with plant people! (Like me! Also, I have recommendations if you’re interested!)
2) Memorize - When you see a plant on your travels spend some time studying it, really look at it and try to commit as much of it to memory as possible. Keep visiting and familiarize yourself with the plant, maybe even try to draw the plant from memory.
3) Folklore - Plant will often have several common names, these names have stories, go look them up. Even the Latin names of plant tell you something about the plant.
I hope you find these tips as useful as I do!
Witchy Baths Masterpost
Here is a big masterpost of different types of baths for different types of witches! Use these baths before or after witchcraft to pump yourself up or to wind down. And you do not have to be any specific type of witch to use any of these baths. Any witch can use them.
Note: Many of these baths call for crystals. Research crystals before getting them wet. Many of them listed you should not put in water, instead keep them at the edge of your tub or near it.
Sea Witch Bath
Kelp Powder (1 tsp)
Sea Salt (½ tsp)
Coconut Oil (1 spoonful)
Coconut Water (½ cup)
Sea Glass, Sea shells, aquamarine, ocean jasper, abalone, pearl, larimar, coral, sand dollars and/or clear quartz
Wood Spoon
Blue and white candles (optional- ocean scented ones)
Steps: Light your candles before filling the tub. Once you start filling the tub add your coconut oil, coconut water, sea salt and kelp powder. With your spoon stir clockwise to help mix in the powder, which can take a bit. The water should turn a faint green tint (the more kelp you add the greener it gets but also the stronger the smell gets). Line your tub’s edge with your sea glass, sea shells, and gemstones. Be sure not to let the gemstones fall in the water, especially if they are ones that can’t get wet. Get into your tub and enjoy.
Note: Kelp powder smells very strongly of kelp, it is a scent I personally like but a lot of people don’t. Air out your bathroom a bit after the bath to disperse the smell. Also if you do not wish to smell like kelp yourself, rinse off after your bath quickly.
Swamp Witch Bath
Kelp Powder (2 spoonfuls)
Clay or Bath Mud like Moor Mud (read label for how much to use)
Green and brown candles
Wooden Spoon
Snail shells, alligator teeth, rounded rocks and any green gemstones you may have
Optional- Moss if you have potted moss to keep on the edge of the tub (or a moss bathmat)
Steps: Light your candles then begin to fill your tub. Add in your kelp powder and the mud, using your wooden spoon stir clockwise to mix. Depending on the type of mud/clay you are using the water will either turn very green to a dark brown. Line your tub with your gemstones, rocks, teeth and snail shells. If you are bringing in a moss plant or other plants keep them near the tub. Get into the tub and relax, if your moss is a stepable type of moss and in reach you can rub your fingers in it as you relax.
Note: Like the sea witch bath, you may want to air out the bathroom after your bath. This bath will smell much stronger of kelp and you may want to shower afterwards to avoid smelling strongly of kelp. You may have to rinse your tub to rid of mud used.
Forest Witch Bath
Pine Needles
Pinecones
Pine essential oil (2 drops)
3 bags of green or black tea
Green sachet
Mint
Cedar Chips
Green Candles (optional- tree or plant scented ones)
Steps: Light your candles and begin filling your tub. In you sachet add 1 part cedar chips and 1 part mint. Tie it shut and add to your bath as it fills. You may then add the pine needles to float freely or you may add them in a sachet as well. Add your two drops of pine oil once the tub is half filled to ensure it is well diluted in the bath. Add your tea bags into the water, line your tub with the pinecones and get in.
Note: essential oils can be harsh on certain skins, dilute the oil with a carrier oil and test on your skin to see if it affects you. If your skin is too sensitive for pine oil omit it from the spell.
Floral Witch Bath
Rose petals
Lavender
Chamomile
Meadow sweet/Sweet grass
Rosemary
Pink and/or Green sachets
Pink Candles

So much work went into this, I love it a lot.
what to put in your grimoire:
Obviously, you don’t have to include all of these ideas in your grimoire: they are merely ideas, prompts and inspiration for your own research and documentation. Similarly, this list is not exhaustive and there may be other things you want to include in your grimoire.
This is in no particular order, you may wish to organise your grimoire into sections; but I personally don’t overthink the structure of my grimoire and I just make sure I have a good contents page.
You may also want to include things such as print outs, post cards, your own drawings and sketches, paintings, and decorations. Some people add extra pages or cut outs, flaps and envelopes. what you include is up to you and dependent on what you desire from your grimoire. If you are using a notebook, I would recommend sticking an envelope on the back page so you can keep any small or lose pages in it.
So, here are some suggestions for things to put in your grimoire:
a contents page (this is important to organise your information for future reference)
information on any witchy festivals that you celebrate. For instance, when are they, what are their origins, how are they celebrated, their correspondences and associations
information on the moon phases. What are the moon phases, an almanac for the moon phases for the upcoming year, what associations and correspondences are associated with each moon phase, what types of magic are suited to each moon phase
colour correspondences
information on the elements. What are the elements, what are their associations and correspondences
a record of your sigils, runes and symbols. Draw them out and note their purpose
a record of the spells that you have done. What are the ingredients and methods of the spell, why did you do it, how did you do it, when did you do it, what were the results and effects, what changes would you make next time
similarly, a record of any rituals that you have done
information on witchy plants that you would like to grow
an entry for each witchy festival celebrated. How did you celebrate it, did you do any further research, are there things you would like to do to celebrate it next time
information on all the crystals that you own. What are they, what do they look like, what are their uses and associations, what have you used them for
practical information you have researched, such as how to create sigils, charge, activate and use them. Other examples include fire safety
a directory for any herbs and plants that you use in your craft. What do they look like, in what conditions do they grow, what are their uses and correspondences, what do you use them for
a sketch or photograph of your altar or work space with labels explaining the layout
information on tarot references
information on any witchy DIYs you’ve done. What did you create, how did you create them, why did you create them, what purpose do they serve, how do they work, how did they turn out
a record of any witchy recipes you make. What is the recipe, what is the recipe good for, is it for a specific witchy festival
specific references for themes that you use a lot. For instance, items for bringing calm (crystals, plants, colours, scents…)
information on folklore, historical accounts, or anthropology that you have researched. Such as the history of witches where you live, or the folklore of a particular time period you are interested in. Examples I have include Selkies, geographical features in Western Scotland, and Scottish Fair Folk
information on divination techniques that you are interested in using, such as palmistry, pendulums and shufflemancy
recipes for things you have made such as bath soaks and tea blends. What is in them, why have you used those particular ingredients, are they effective
information on aspects of magic that are specific to you. For instance, I have information on how to conserve energy in witchcraft
research on deities, pantheons, spirits, or the fair folk that you would like to work with. What are they known as, when were they first known in the historical record, what are their origins, what folk lore is associated with them, why would you like to work with them, what or where are they associated with, what are their patronages
information on ways to create spells and types of spells. Which of these suit you and how can you make a spell creation method which is unique to you
information on magic using a specific ingredient or method. Such as spell jars, water magic, hair magic…
information on your astrological chart
traditions and superstitions that are common in your family or community
an index at the back for specific ingredients and themes. Such as where specific crystals, herbs, festivals, or moon phases have been mentioned

This spell is very powerful! It has worked many, many times for me. I recommend leaving an offering to Zeus on your altar at some point afterwards. I usually offer oak.
Also - you don’t have to use aquamarine, but it’s what I’ve used and it’s worked efficiently without fail since I wrote this spell. I only chose aquamarine because it’s energy improves any experience with water.
