As the Sun rises on Friday, the 21st, Winter begins, Yule, the Winter Solstice. In the Wiccan world this marks the beginning of a new year, a whole new reality starts as that Sun rises. Forget the secular calendar for few minutes and go back to another time when reality was controlled not by industry …
Are you a good witch or a bad Witch? Way back in the dim mists of my past when I was a young Witchling I got my first tattoo, a Pentagram. On discovering that a friend of mine taught his parrot to say “Is she a good Witch or a bad Witch?” whenever I entered …
The Witch’s Thanksgiving is here! The Earth in its revolution around the Sun has hit a point of balance and Summer is over. Autumn has begun. Now is the time to take stock of all the work you have done over the past Solar Year. What did you plan? What did you plant? How did …
