Instead of Candle Spells, Try…a Cup of Tea
Aren’t those all-day candle spells great? If you can stay home with it all day, which I can’t. Or if you can burn a candle at work, which in my case is highly frowned upon at my workplace. So here’s an alternative I tested out and found it worked quite delightfully. Not fire magick but…

Cleansing your House with Fire and Salt
If you’ve moved into a new house or just moved your ex out of your house, you know that sometimes your living space just feels…icky. Some people sage. Others open all the windows and let the stagnant air move around and fresh air move in. Some dance, drum, raise energy to get old energy cleared…

Once in a (Scorpio) Blue Moon
Photo by robwallace May 19-20 (depending on your time zone) marks the second Sun-Moon combination of Taurus and Scorpio in a month, and I’m always surprised at how many new readers drop in to find a ritual or a good ritual tip for this Full Moon. This one, being an even more intense Scorpio…
