Demeter and Persephone are strongly connected to the time of the Autumn Equinox. When Hades abducted Persephone, it set in motion a chain of events that eventually led to the earth falling into darkness each winter. This is the time of the Dark Mother, the Crone aspect of the triple goddess. The god...

In some Wiccan traditions, Lammas is the time of year when the Goddess takes on the aspects of the Harvest Mother. The earth is fruitful and abundant, crops are bountiful, and livestock are fattening up for winter. However, the Harvest Mother knows that the cold months are coming, and so she encoura...

In many traditions of Wicca and Paganism, there is a great deal of focus on the Goddess. Sometimes, there's so much attention to the feminine that the masculine aspects get overlooked. By welcoming the God of your tradition, you can honor the men who have impacted your life -- whether they raised yo...

When Margaret Murray wrote her ground-breaking God of the Witches, in 1931, scholars quickly dismissed her theory of a universal, pre-Christian cult of witches who worshipped a singular mother goddess. However, Murray wasn't completely off-base; a number of individual cults existed in pre-Christian ...

Ostara is a time of balance. It is a time of equal parts light and dark. At Mabon, we have this same balance, but the light is leaving us. Today, six months later, it is returning. Spring has arrived, and with it comes hope and warmth. Deep within the cold earth, seeds are beginning to sprout. In th...

Hundreds of years ago, when our ancestors relied upon the sun as their only source of light, the end of winter was met with much celebration. Although it is still cold in February, often the sun shines brightly above us, and the skies are often crisp and clear. As a festival of light, Imbolc came to...

Yule is the time of the Winter Solstice, and for some Wiccans, it's a time to say goodbye to the old, and welcome the new. As the sun returns to the earth, life begins once more. This ritual can be performed by a solitary practitioner, either male or female. It's also easily adaptable to a small gro...

By Samhain, the Goddess has entered her incarnation of Crone. She is the Old One, the earth mother, the wise one we turn to when we need advice. She teaches us that sometimes we must let go in order to move on. The God, at Samhain, is the Horned One, the stag of great antlers, the god of the wild hu...

I think there are many similarities between the two topics, but magick is much more concerned with the ritual aspect.  This ritual aspect, at least in my opinion, is what concentrates the energy, thus making it more powerful. Magick certainly uses The Law of Attraction, but it is sooooo much mo...

I am working at the moment, so I don't have time to give a detailed answer right now concerning the spellcrafting.  I will try to remember to do that later for you, though. However, as far as tarot software goes, I have found an online site that is better than any software I have ever found.  It is ...

I find that I get more energy raised and more positive results using candle spells.  I like to inscribe the candles with my will and then cleanse and consecrate the candle with the appropriate oils and let the candle burn after I have put my energy within it.  I find that most spells happ...

I agree that one's attitudes towards money affect how much, if any, flows into your life.  I also believe that if you just want to "get rich," then you're probably drawing on greed, and negativity like that just isn't healthy.  Prosperity is here for all to obtain, but it must be approache...
