You know how there are books that become collector’s items and no matter how many years go by you still find yourself going to them over and over again because they have everything you could possibly need to know on a topic? You know, the kind of books that you never want to lend out because the thought of parting from them makes you shudder? This is one of those books and I could easily replace twenty other titles on my shelf with what Madame Pamita provides in The Book of Candle Magic.  Read more

The TLDR no-spoilers version is this: The Craft: Legacy felt more like the pilot of the next installment to the CW’s Charmed franchise. Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it, glad it is here because I know it will continue to spread the cultural impact from the first movie to a new generation, but I wish they would have given the incredible actors portraying the witches more to work with. Their acting saved the movie when the plot became incredibly predictable and weak. Read more

Scorpio season challenges us to take accountability for all of what we are, and in doing that, become freer. Paralleling Persephone’s annual descent, we’re called to enter the Underworld within, the soil of our being, to do what can only be done in darkness. Read more

Occultists, spiritualists, meditators, witches, warlocks, shamans, and the like have long and detailed histories of their involvement with the spirit world.

The Witchies are the first awards ceremony to focus on outstanding achievement and excellence in witchcraft and occult media and content creation. Our genres are generally so niche that creators are often intentionally excluded or overlooked by other organizations in the awards circuit; but that stops now! With The Witchies, our community finally has a place to gather and celebrate the amazing artists, writers, producers, and hosts who both represent our fields in the public as well as inspire us on our own journeys. Read more

In witchcraft and occultism, we are often drawn to working with plants, plant spirits, and the magic that exists all throughout the kingdom of Flora. Houseplants are often overlooked in favor of plants that are classically associated with the craft, but there is potent magic that can be found even in the plants you can get next to the grocery checkout. Read more

While I was finding my way as a magical person in secular society, many of my friends pulled away and became more insulated from it. We have all mostly stayed close but the differences in approach and fundamental values couldn’t be more pronounced. Honestly, aside from a shared love of the planet and belief in magic and animism; there isn’t much that connects us across the aisle these days. Read more
