The Basics of Reiki
Image by Abraham Gonzalez Fernandez from Getty Images/Canva Reiki comes from two Japanese words which translate to “universal life force.” This universal life force is an energy found within all things—people, animals, plants, rocks, trees… even the earth itself. Someone trained in the use of Reiki channels that life force, allowing the recipient to receive the healing energy. Eastern Methods,…

Red Flags in Prospective Covens
Image by by Visions of Energy from Getty Images/Canva So you think you’ve found a Pagan group or coven that might be the right group for you. Great! Ideally, a coven will allow you to attend a few open meetings, in which you can observe the goings-on and meet all the members, without intruding upon the secrecy of any oathbound ceremonies or rites. After attending a series of open meetings –…

Using Body Fluids in Magic
Image by djedzura from Getty Images/Canva So, this is an article that originally appeared on my old AboutDotCom site, but when everything was migrated over to ThoughtCo and then LearnReligions, it vanished. Since I had a discussion about this very topic with someone not too long ago, I thought I’d resurrect it for you, with a few additions and updates: Although many people in today’s magical…

Pawpaw Magic
Pawpaw image by Liane M by Getty Images via Canva I live in northern Appalachia, and one of my favorite parts of the fall is when the pawpaw trees start blooming. These chubby little fruits taste like a lil’ bit of heaven, sort of like a cross between a mango and a banana. Their gooey, custardy texture isn’t for everyone, but holy cow do I love them. Unfortunately, because they spoil fairly…

Herb Magic: Bountiful Burdock
Herb Magic: Bountiful Burdock
When I moved into my little cottage in the woods two years ago, one of the things I fell in love with was the abundance of plant life on the property that was ready for me to forage. While derping around on my hillside, I noticed a lot of prickly little balls (get your minds outta the gutter, you filthy heathens) attaching themselves to my socks, shorts, and the dog. Naturally, I thought to…

The Magic of Purple Deadnettle
The Magic of Purple Deadnettle
Spring be springing down here in my little corner of North Appalachia, and one of my favorite things to see is the purple deadnettle (Lamium purpureum) that’s taking over my yard with reckless abandon. Technically, yeah, it’s a weed – but weeds are just things that grow where people don’t want them to. I’m a big fan of the “use what you got” school of witchcraft, so I always end up harvesting a…

So You Wanna Be a Witch?
You want to be a witch? Cool! It’s worked for me for over 35 years – if it hadn’t, I wouldn’t be bothering with it. But let’s talk about a few things related to the “I want to be a witch” thing that’s constantly popping up in my magical mailbag. WitchTok A couple of times a week, I get messages from people who tell me some variation of I saw this spell on TikTok and I did it but can you please…

It's Time for the Chocolate Rabbit Ritual!
It's Time for the Chocolate Rabbit Ritual!
This is a ritual I created waaaaaay back in 2008 and posted on my About.com page, and since that time it’s been copy/pasted ad nauseum all over the Interwebs, and About/LearnReligions ended up eliminating it altogether, because reasons. I’ve heard about numerous shops and covens and groups doing this as a public ritual over the years, and honestly, it’s pretty much taken on a life of its own at…

A Few Fun Updates...
A Few Fun Updates...
So it’s been a couple minutes since I blogged – okay, it’s been four months, but in my defense I was busy and left unsupervised. LOTS of stuff going on, but first, let me tell you… this is the time of year when things are fallow for me. I tend to withdraw a bit from social media and the Interwebs in the months between Yule and spring. I get caught up on reading, I make art, I’ve been painting,…

Review: The Doodle Tarot
Review: The Doodle Tarot
So life has been super busy – obviously, because I haven’t blogged in a few minutes – what with the Day Job, school, summer travel adventures, and all kinds of other stuff. However, back in July, I made my annual pilgrimage to Mystic South, which is always a blast – and one of the things I do love about this particular conference is the amazing vendor room space. It’s chock full of people who…

Are You a Senior Pagan "Newbie"?
Are You a Senior Pagan “Newbie”?
A reader asks, “I have only recently discovered Pagan spirituality, and it’s been a little weird for me because I’m a lot older than most of the people who are “new Pagans.” I’m in my fifties and feel like a total noob, but all the other people who are new to this path are in their late teens and twenties. All the other Pagans my age are Elders who have been part of the Pagan community forever.…

Deities and Gender
A reader writes in asking, “I read that people can’t connect to a deity of the opposite gender as easily as they can connect to deity of the same gender. Does this mean that one gender can’t be as spiritual as another? Or does it mean that the god and goddess are not equal? I’m not sure where you read this information, but my opinion is that it’s patently false, for a couple of reasons. Actually,…
