Witch's Brew! 14 April 2018
Folklorists and fairies... Eeesh. Just the word "fairy" sends a shiver up my spine, but this is a very cool article on how our understanding of the fey has changed over time. Meet the Los Angeles witch who's demystifying modern-day witchcraft. At last, a rational reason for my bad hair days - when your hair is psychic. Reconnection ritual + cocktail? Mmm... Is HBO's Westworld a Gnostic parable? A Beltane Ritual Guidebook! About the Author Jayce Bonheim is a fictional witch a

Witch's Brew! April 7
Wow. It's snowing on the eastern side of Doyle today, which just goes to show you never know what spring will bring. No rhyme intended. I've got lots of fun, witchy links for you today. The ocean is only four hours away from Doyle, but I don't get there as much as I'd like. So I love, love, love this Ancient Oceans Sleep (Self) Hypnosis practice. More luscious witchy fashion, this time from British designer Dilara Findikoglu. These designs are right up my alley, though a litt

Witch's Brew! 31 March 2018
There's something magical about month ends. They're liminal, in-between times, when one period is ending and another beginning. The ancient Romans celebrated the goddess of magic, Hecate, on the last day of every month with suppers held for her at crossroads. Sometimes I think I should do something - we need more reasons to just take stock! And then I get busy at my coffee shop, Ground, and.... You know how it is. So take stock with this week's witch's brew! Easter is tomorro

Witch's Brew! 24 March
Can you believe how fast this year is flying by! So much is happening here in Doyle - good, bad, and just plain weird. Get inspired by this amazing, 360-degree video of an aurora borealis and a lunar eclipse in Alaska. (You need to click the arrow button in the top left corner to spin the camera). Quick, simple, and discrete plant magic in the video below from the Witchy Mommy. (Lately I've been all about discrete - long story). Nine steps to turning your spiritual hobby into

Witch's Brew! 17 March 2018
A beginner's guide to candle magick. A friend of mine nearly burned her house down with her candle altar, so the most important tip - never leave burning candles unattended (or anywhere near curtains or wall hangings). So many of us have side hustles these days (you wouldn't believe what mine is). Here's some solid witchy advice on how to stay balanced amidst the chaos. A little witch history: The first witches in Europe may have lived in the Pyrenees. The astrological new ye

Hi, Everyone! I hope you enjoyed my sister's discussion of bullet journaling for witches last week. But today I'm back with our usual witchy roundup. The Olsen twins (remember them?) are coming out with their own line of supplies for witches. If there's any doubt that witchery has gone mainstream, let it end now. Are you a good witch? Or a bad witch? How to use your great big brain for good (and be happier while doing it)! Crystals for prosperity! Just don't blow all your mon

Witch's Brew! 24 February 2018
We're brewing up all sorts of magic at my coffee shop, Ground. But I'm always curious about what other witches are up to... Just bought a new Tarot deck? Here's a method for interviewing it. How to use the Queen cards in Tarot to power your manifestations. Kirsten Weiss is giving away a free Ostara ritual "playbook" based on the magic of her Riga Hayworth novels. Ostara will be March 20th this year, so get ready! All is mind: a principle of Hermetic spellcraft (I'm talking to

Happy Lunar New Year! Here's what the Year of the Earth Dog has in store... Crystals for romance? Why not? (Any excuse to add a crystal to my collection...) Mmm... Sourdough bread! Sorry - no recipe here, but this is a great kitchen witch story about the journey of creating sourdough starter. It just goes to show, even the most mundane activities can be opportunities for growth. And good food. A review of Taro as Colour, by Phantasmaphile. About Bri Luna, the Hoodwitch. About

At my magical coffee shop, Ground, we're brewing up all sorts of witchy goodness, so be sure to stop by. I'd love to hear your take on this week's witch news. I just discovered the marvelous artist, Katy Horan. Take a look at some of her paintings of famous female writers re-imagined as witches. How mystics and witches have found a new world online. Don't believe in Tarot? That's okay. You can still use it for personal development. Most of us know our sun signs, but moon sign

Happy February, everyone! My sister Karin is big into knitting, and I think she works some knot magic too. When I read this article about the magic of thread and knot working, I thought of her. Both my sisters and I understand the importance of magical protection. (Certain recent experiences have brought that lesson home and hard). I follow most of these 13 practices of magical protection, but a couple were new to me. Astrologically, Imbolc is today, February 3rd, so we haven

Can you believe January is almost over! I can't believe how action-packed its been. What will February hold? From A Witch's Path: The magic of rosemary! I love this herb, which grows wild over much of California. How to make a wand. (This one's a little late - sorry) An interview with Pamela Grossman about witchcraft, art, and emojis. Pet astrology? Yes, it's a thing. Why complicated spells are not necessarily better. (I've found that intent + words spoken aloud + a gesture i

There's a part of the local woods which is covered in ladybugs every February. Every tree stump, fern branch, and moss-covered log is red with these amazing insects. So when I saw Witchy Mommy's latest post on Ladybug magick and symbolism, I had to share. Witchy tips from the Hoodwitch! The Victorian occultist accused of killing men with her mind. Yikes! Witching on the Go - I love it! And since January seems to have become the time for getting rid of things -- clutter, bad h

Have you ever had one of those weeks filled with omens and odd synchronicities? Like when in a spot of bibliomancy, you randomly open your favorite art photography book to a picture the photographer says represents the human spirit and its eternal energy and how it goes on after we die, and realize the picture has absolutely no possible meaning for your day. And then at the end of the day, you learn a distant but well-liked relative has just passed on. Are synchronicities alw

Happy New Year, witches! And happy New Year, Picatrix, who looks a LOT like the cat in this photo. Saturn's moving into Capricorn. Here's what it means. What herbs should every witch keep in her cupboard? Personally, I think it depends on where you're at - nature spirits can be location bound, and respond better to local herbs. But this is a good list. The magickal benefits of conscious eating. The Santeros of Mexico promise a happy New Year. About the Author Jayce Bonheim is

Witch's Brew! 23 December
Whew! I almost didn't knock this Witch's Brew out, there's so much going down in Doyle right now. Plus, it's the holidays! But I couldn't leave my best witches hanging. So here we go! Are you getting down with some kitchen witchery for the holidays? Then you might want to check out this winter solstice star cake (even tho the solstice is two days in the rear view mirror - it's cake!) Hekate has always been a fav goddess of mine. She's the queen of magic! Combine Hekate with

Whoo hoo! Another witch's brew! These 100-year-old photos of a Navajo "Night Chant" ritual are gorgeous, mysterious, fascinating. And yes, magical. And more gifts for witches from A Witch's Path - The Witch's Bookshelf. Yeah, that's more something my bookseller sister, Lenore, would be into, but let's face it, books are cozy. And speaking of cozy... Cozy witches? No, I'm not talking characters in a witch cozy mystery (heh heh), but Hygge witches, a Danish version of a witch w

More holiday gifts for the witch in your life, from A Witch's Path. And short, sexy, romantic fiction (?) on Yule gifting from Bad Witches. (Bad in only the best way, of course). I love, love, love-love-love Tarot, and recently, I've been grooving on the Pagan Otherworlds Tarot by Uusi. But how does one think like a Tarot reader? How to use this month's Mercury Retrograde for reevaluation. Phantasmaphile always excavates the most interesting tidbits when it comes to art, cult

Another holiday wish list for witches, from A Witch's Path. If the growing darkness is getting you down, you might want to read this. We take our TVs for granted, but isn't there something a little... uncanny about these magic boxes? Eight calming herbs if you feel yourself on the verge of a holiday meltdown. The full moon in Gemini is coming December 3rd. What does it mean? And Mercury retrograde starts the same day. Yowza. About the Author Jayce Bonheim is a fictional witch

My aunt hung a witch ball in her front window. But what about on a Christmas tree? Elivra, Mistress of the Dark, has her own clothing line and it looks awesome! I couldn't resist sharing this article on witch's brews for the holidays, because, get it? Witch's Brew? Anyway, A Witch's Path will be posting witchy gift-giving tips every Wednesday for the next few weeks, so watch that space! This 3 of Cups punch is promoted as a Thanksgiving thing, but it's so delicious, I don't k
