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…

The Magic of Burdock
When I moved into my little cottage in the woods last summer, one of the things I fell in love with was the abundance of plant life on the property that was ready for me to forage. While derping around on my hillside, I noticed a lot of prickly little balls (get your minds outta the gutter, you filthy heathens) attaching themselves to my socks, shorts, and the dog. Naturally, I thought to myself, “Self, we gotta figure this one out.” They looked like thistles… sort of… but weren’t. Turns out I’ve got a bumper crop of burdock growing right in my back yard. It’s one of those cool herbs…

Self-Care Sundays: The Joy of Purging
Y’all, I gotta tell ya – I *love* to throw things away. I think part of that is because I was raised by parents who have always been minimalists, and it’s partly because the older I get, the less stuff I need in my life. If I have fewer physical items in my space, it makes it easier to value the things that I actually do possess. Not only that, it means fewer decisions I have to make about stuff – and since I managed to develop myself a nice new anxiety disorder in 2020, fewer decisions are really great for sense of well-being. I’d rather pick my battles and…
