Revisiting Celebrating Cunningham, 24 years after his loss
I originally wrote this two years and one day ago, and thought it would be a good time for revisiting Celebrating Cunningham. *~*~*~*~* Sometime in the early 90s, hubby found a book called, “Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" by Scott Cunningham. We were just beginning to explore the idea of Wicca, in those... Continue Reading →

Also, since Ostara 2017 will be here before my next Witchy Wednesday, I have a new graphic at the end of this post. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Even though my family is many generations removed from the Emerald Isle,...

Welcome to #WitchBlogWed – a way for Pagan and Witchcraft blogs to connect!
Merry meet and bright blessings to all those who stumble across my humble little spot on the interwebz!

Revisiting the Enchanting Coffee Spell from Llewellyn
Rabbit, rabbit! *grin* I originally wrote this post back in July, and thought it would be a good time to revisit it on this dank, dreary, first day of March.

Revisiting the late Sybil Leek for her upcoming birthday
Last year, I wrote this post a few days after the anniversary of the birthday of "Britain's most famous witch," the late Sybil Leek.

WW – A Love Spell for the Month of Love
Rabbit, rabbit! Since today's Witchy Wednesday takes place on first day of February (aka the month of love), I thought it would be apropos to share a love spell.
