Witches are endowed with the knowledge that universal energies can be manipulated or worked with in an effort to affect change or transformation.

Samhain: The Darkest of Days
There’s just something about October. Ever since I was a child, for many reasons the tenth month of the year was always my favorite. The weather was starting to feel cool which, for those of you who live on or near the gulf coast know, was a welcome relief from the scorching heat and stickyContinue reading “Samhain: The Darkest of Days”
Which Witch: Exploring the Different Types of Witches
Being asked what type of witch you are is fairly common within the magical community. For some, the answer comes easily.

Imposter Witch
Think back to when you first decided to fully embrace the witch in you. How did you feel? If you’re like me, you had a profound sense that you could achieve anything you set your mind to.

What Do You Call a Male Witch?
As a Millennial, watching internet culture evolve and grow has been one of the more interesting and exciting aspects of our lifetime.

Spells and Their Risks
My grandmother called me fat last night. It’s nothing new. My whole life (even before I was overweight), she’s had this obsession with size and weight. I never quite understood the fixation, but when I was younger, it understandably would hurt to hear it. Now that I’m older… well… It still hurts. Especially since I’veContinue reading “Spells and Their Risks”

Practice Healing Responsibly
Alternative medicine can sound like such a bad phrase to some. When we look back on human history, we can easily see the problem with the practice of it.

Dousing ailments on paper and soaking them in streams and creeks was said toContinue reading “Practice Healing Responsibly”
Bad Witch?
Why do witches have such a bad rap? Think about it. When most people imagine a witch, they bring to mind a picture of an old woman, green skin and warts, black clothes and a pointy hat. Most of the time the image is accompanied by a twisted broomstick or a glowing cauldron. Their onlyContinue reading “Bad Witch?”
A Witch’s Thoughts on Death
We got morbid real quick, didn’t we? Death can be a scary thing to think about. When I first began to experience anxiety and panic attacks, the root cause of it stemmed from my fear of dying. I was five, by the way, when it struck me that, unlike getting a cold or a splinter,Continue reading “A Witch’s Thoughts on Death”
