Are You a Senior Pagan “Newbie”?
A reader asks, “I have only recently discovered Pagan spirituality, and it’s been a little weird for me because I’m a lot older than most of the people who are “new Pagans.” I’m in my fifties and feel like a total noob, but all the other people who are new to this path are in their late teens and twenties. All the other Pagans my age are Elders who have been part of the Pagan community forever. Am I some kind of freak, or are there other “senior newbie Pagans” out there?” Believe it or not, people find Pagan spirituality at a wide variety of ages. Look at it this way. Some people…

Deities and Gender
A reader writes in asking, “I read that people can’t connect to a deity of the opposite gender as easily as they can connect to deity of the same gender. Does this mean that one gender can’t be as spiritual as another? Or does it mean that the god and goddess are not equal? I’m not sure where you read this information, but my opinion is that it’s patently false, for a couple of reasons. Actually, let’s break your question down a bit, because it’s multifaceted. Your first question is, “Can a person connect to a deity of the opposite gender as easily as they can one of the same…

The Magic of Healing Crystals
Hoooo boy, y’all, I’ve been SWAMPED! In addition to working on yet ANOTHER manuscript, I’m taking grad classes, working on a certificate in Management & Leadership (totally not Pagan or witchy related, but it will help me be even better at my Day Job, which is what pays the mortgage ’round these parts). Anyway, since I may or may not have been writing about crystals lately, I thought it might be a good time to chat about how people use them for healing magic. Many people believe each crystal emits a vibration that tunes into the body’s energies, and this is used to heal emotional or physical ailments. Keep in…

Candle Magic: The Language of Love
My new book, the Candle Magic Journal & Handbook, comes out in just a few days… but I wanted to share a couple more sneaky-peekaroos with you! This book includes spells for affection and attraction, and one of my favorites is a simple one you can do with some red paper, a marker, and a jar candle. Think about how you communicate with your significant other(s) and consider the ways they communicate with you in return. What do you need to say more of… and what do you need to hear? If you haven’t already placed your order, it would mean the world to me if you put one in…

Candle Magic: The Shut the Heck Up Spell
Want a sneak peek at some of the material in my new book, the Candle Magic Journal & Handbook? Here’s one of my personal favorites, the Shut the Heck Up Spell – it’s one of many you’ll find inside! If you’ve got someone who can’t seem to keep their opinions of you out of their mouth—or who likes to gossip, tell lies, or spread information that isn’t their business—this spell is for you. To dress the candle, use a lightweight, unscented oil like grapeseed or safflower, and dried dill, which is associated with silence. Use a mortar and pestle or other grinding tool to crush the herb. Ingredients: A black candle…

In this book, I got the opportunity to share not only some of my favorite magical…
