Health Review: Tisserand Essential Survival Kit & Better Sleep Rollerball Aromatherapys

By Amazon, Health, Nature, Paganism, ReviewsNo Comments

I’ve been struggling with sleep recently. So one morning, feeling like a zombie, I searched for sleep on Amazon. I came across these:

Tisserand-Essential-Survival-Kit-2019

Tisserand Essential Survival Kit includes De-Stress, Sweet Dreams and Energy.

Anyone that knows me, knows that I love essential oils and often have them burning at home.

In the Survival Kit you get:

  • De-Stress (10mls) is made-up of the following essential oils: orange peel, lavender, geranium and patchouli. The fresh smell of orange, along with one of my favorites patchouli makes this my absolute favourite out of all of the bottles I bought.
  • Sweet Dreams (10mls) is made-up of the following essential oils: lavender, sandalwood, bergamot, jasmine and ylang ylang. Unfortunately the smell of lavender overpowers the other scents, meaning that lavender is all you can really smell. This was disappointing as I love the scents sandalwood, jasmine and ylang ylang.
  • Energy (10mls) is made-up of the following essential oils: jojoba, bergamot, lime, orange peel, cypress, grapefruit, coriander and juniper. I loved this pleasant subtle yet addictive scent.

As well as the Survival Kit above I also saw this and bought them both:

  • Sleep Better (10mls) is made-up of the following essential oils: lavender, cedar, cypress, sandalwood, bergamot, jasmine and ylang ylang. Unfortunately the lavender overpowers the other scents, which is a huge shame.
Tisserand-Essential-Survival-Kit-2019-Rollerball

All have rollerballs, with the packaging recommend you apply it on your temples, behind your ears and on the nape of your neck.

I wasn’t sure about the roller ball, but it’s great. You may need to tilt your head or the bottle to get the oil to apply. All I would say is that when it comes to applying the essential oils less is more.

Use the roller ball to apply the oil to your temples, behind your ears and nape of your neck. Then use your first two fingers to massage these points. Don’t use the roller ball to massage these as it will continue to apply oil.

The other great thing is that you can use these in an oil burner easily.

My Latest Pagan Wall Artwork – Art on Slate by Kate McKenna bought on The Wonky Cauldron

By Happiness & Joy, Inspiration, Paganism, ShoppingNo Comments

Hello all!

Welcome to 2019. So far, my January has been really busy. But I wanted to share with you my latest purchase. This gorgeous slate wall artwork:

Avebury Tree Goddesses by Kate McKenna.

It’s called Avebury Tree Goddesses by Kate McKenna. It’s gorgeous and I love it. High quality shaped slate with a beautiful print on it.

I discovered Kate McKenna’s artwork on The Wonky Cauldron, which I discovered through an ad on Facebook.

Kate doesn’t have her artwork on sale on her website, but The Wonky Cauldron has a wide range of her artwork available to buy.

I’ve spotted another slate with Avebury Stone Circle on. I think I might have to buy it to compliment the one above.

The Ocean as an Analogy for the ‘Planes of Existence’

By PaganismNo Comments

There’s lots of theories about the number of planes of existence. Some say there’s 7 planes of existence, others say there are 9, while others say there’s as many as 31.

I like to keep things simple. So here is my 3 planes of existence, using the ocean as an analogy:

Book Review: The Witch’s Bag of Tricks by Melanie Marquis

By Amazon, Books & Authors, Paganism, ReviewsNo Comments

The Witch’s Bag of Tricks is not a book for the initiate or new Witch.

It’s a book for the knowledgeable and experienced Witch. Witches who’ve reached a learning plateau and were spells have began to lose their effectiveness. (We’ve all been there.)

In The Witch’s Bag of Tricks Marquis covers:

  • Magick’s Seven Functions: Giving Energy Initial Purpose, Transforming Energy, Combining Energy, Separating Energies, Containing Energy, Releasing Energy & Redirecting Energy
  • Increasing your Power Potential
  • Removing Blocks to Great Power
  • Discovering Affinities
  • Spiritual Development
  • Psychic Spell Work & Psychic Development
  • Three Aspects of ESP: Perceiving the Whole, Perceiving the Parts & Perceiving the Connections
  • Magickal Development
  • The Difference between Charms, Spells & Rituals
  • Positive Binding Magic
  • Imitative Magick
  • Prosperity Magick
  • Love Magick
  • Advanced Defense Magick
  • Principles of Defensive Magic – Containing, Binding, Banishing & Shielding
  • Mood-Lifting and Luck Magick.

Marquis’ writing style reminded me of one that you would read in a magazine. This made The Witch’s Bag of Tricks feel superficial.

This wasn’t helped by Marquis trying to cover a large number of topics in the one book. There were parts of the book I would have loved Marquis to explore in more detail.

Reading The Witch’s Bag of Tricks was a pleasure. It reinvigorated my love of learning in the Craft – which is no small achievement. It’s great to see a book on the market and aimed at practiced Witches. I hope to find other books like this.

So far I’ve found the following books useful for an experienced Witch: Advanced Witchcraft by Edain McCoy, Witchcraft: Theory and Practice by Ly De Angeles, Utterly Wicked: Curses, Hexes & Other Unsavory Notions by Dorothy Morrison.

The Witch’s Bag of Tricks is available to buy on Amazon and at all good bookshops.

Review soon,

Antony
