I don’t just use my Witchcraft for personal gain. I occassionally use it to help others. Here is one such case, were I’ve made magic bags to sell for someone who is raising money for charity:
These magic bags are around the themes of happiness and money and have made using the correct magical properties.
Human beings are social animals and since even before the beginning of language, we developed and engaged in communities.
I, like you all are part of many communities. Including (but by no means limited to): my immediate family, my locality, nursing, gay, authors/writers and pagan/spirituality.
I love being part of every community that I am part of, but like any community I don’t always agree with or like all members.
On exceptionally rare occasions, I get into conflict with a community member. Sometimes it’s like we can’t see what brings us together as community members. Like we are too focused by difference, rather than the similarities.
It is always sad when this happens and even sadder when we can’t agree to disagree. What is difficult for me to accept, is that sometimes there is no resolution to these disagreements.
I have apologised for any offense caused. I have empathised, trying to understand another’s point of view.
I have explained my perspective and thinking. I have explained my feelings. I have sought resolution.
But unfortunately there was no resolution wanted on the other side. Perhaps with time, there may be resolution. Perhaps there may not be. But at least I’ve tried.
I love all things aromatherapy. I love burning essential oils at home. But essential oils are also often used in magic and spell casting. Here is my current list of essential oils and their magical properties:
Bergamot – Communication, Employment & Love.
Cardamon – Relieves Anxiety, Promotes Peace & Death Rites.
Cedarwood – Spiritual Growth, Money & Healing.
Cedar – Wisdom, Strength & Protection.
Chamomile – Calmness, Money & Cleansing.
Cinnamon – Magical Booster, Success, Lust & Love.
Citronella – Cleansing, Relaxation & Aids Sleep (small amounts).
Cypress – Endurance, Healing & Protection.
Frankincense – Peace, Death Rites & Psychic Abilities.
Geranium – Sleep, Blessings & Spirit Work.
German Blue Chamomile – Healing, Peace & Balance.
Grapefruit – Healing, Optimism & Positivity
Jasmine – Relaxation, Peace & Love.
Lavender – Protection, Psychic Skills & Aids Connection to the Astral Plane.
Lemongrass – Dissolves Obstacles and Negative Energy, Raises Energy to a Positive level & Communication. (Interesting sidenote: Cats don’t like the smell of lemongrass, so it is perfect to put on furniture you don’t want them to use as a scratching post.)
I’ve been a Witch for a long time. I’ve even co-authored a book on magic called SpellCast – Folk Magic for the 21st Century. But those of you who know my Witchy side well, know I’m great with candles, crystals and essential oils. But not so great with flowers, plants and trees.
It isn’t that I don’t like flowers, plants and trees, I do, I just didn’t know much about the magical uses of them in spell work. That was until I started having some good conversations with the Witch herself: The Lancashire Witch.
The Lancashire Witch sells a wide selection of Herbs, Resins, Roots, Bones, Flowers & Barks. So I’ve started my own collection bought from The Lancashire Witch. Here is my current list of flowers, plants and trees I have in stock at home and their associated magical properties:
