itsthis-orcluedo asked: A beginning witchcraft book at I still refer to even though I've read it cover-to-cover about 100 times since I bought it about eight years ago is 'Where to Park Your Broomstick' by Lauren Manoy. It's fantastic, so user-friendly, straight-forward, honest and gives a lot of good, solid background information on the origins of witchcraft and some very simple spells to get you...

nikkeatsrocks asked: Mastering Witchcraft by Paul Huson is a pretty popular work on a more traditional style of witchcraft. A lot of people suggest Doreen Valiente's ABC of Witchcraft, and Natural Magic, and while she has some wiccan influence she was also part of the Coven of Tubal Cain. Way of the Hedgewitch by Arin Murphy-Hiscock (which has nothing to do with hedgecraft) is a good book for home based...
jacintaalanna asked: so i'm not very familiar with rituals or anything wicca related honesty. but i was wondering if you (or anyone) knew anything about enchanting *sorry if thats not the proper term* an item. specifically i would like to enchant my amethyst necklace with the violet flame.
thewitchesden asked: do you think you'd be able to post and/or inbox me the book you chose? I also have a friend who is interested, and suggestions for books would be nice :) thanks!
smedina91 asked: In regards to a recent post, I have the book "The Craft" and can show it to Fiend if she wishes to look through it.
thewitchesden asked: I can't truly remember if this book is related to wicca, but i don't believe so... "The Craft" by dorothy morrison. I read it long ago, so I'm sorry because I can't really remember if it is a reliable book, but from what I can pull together, I believe it's pretty accurate? haha and if she is ever interested, "Italian witchcraft" by raven grimassi is...

Books
Can anyone point me into the direction of beginner Witchcraft books? Just Witchcraft, NO WICCA. A friend asked me that he wanted to look into witchcraft and not Wicca, so I thought I’d oblige. Unfortunately after I looked through all my books on magick (which is a vast amount), I realized that I had plenty of subject specific and Wicca related books but none on just general witchcraft which I...

The Celtic and Druid sister blogs
Ok so I am thinking about getting rid of The Blessed Isles blog because;
1. Kit has not been heard from in a long while
2. I’m the only other admin on there
3. There are no members on there
4. I’m head admin of another sister blog and assist in 3 others.
5. I simply do not have time for this blog
I was planning on just combining The Blessed Isles with The Sacred Grove;...
wallflowertorose asked: I'm relatively new to Wicca, and since studying one question that I never understood was worshiping other gods/goddesses besides the horned god and the goddess. how do people find out what other gods to worship? I hope this made sense I've been looking for this question in books and online but I can't find a direct answer.

eyesonleciel asked: I love your archive! It's so useful, thank you!
art-junkies asked: Merry Meet, is there any spell/material/herb/stone/ANYTHING to help emotional stability? I'm not okay
Anonymous asked: I've been reading about different forms of divination and I came across "clamancy". Apparently it's done by going in a crowd and listening for specific yells or words. Has anyone tried this? I'm just curious.
UPDATE:
Thanks for all your support and commentary, and those opposed — still, thanks for sharing your opinions.
But, due to the comment made by some anon earlier saying that I should have my own tongue cut out, I’m turning off the ANON feature until a time I deem appropriate. You know, I had reservations about turning on the anon feature, but I did it anyway so that no one would feel...

Anonymous asked: retreadingmypath common sense took a back seat the moment people were like "Oh I know magick will fix everything. Why should I call the cops to keep the crazies away? All I need is a witch or advice from a witch! Yea that'll fix my problem." Sorry people who expect magick to fix EVERYTHING for them like retreadingmypath the Gods help those who help themselves.

retreadingmypath asked: In response to the people giving you crap for telling the guy with the friend with the crazy mother to call the cops. The Gods help those who help themselves. If people are being crazy-stupid call the cops. If you want to keep someone out of your home, you *lock the freaking door*. I'd like to know when common sense took a backseat.

Anonymous asked: Someone should cut out your tongue. And all band together to make a new TUMBLR COVEN with less shitty responses!
I’m a Taurus…I am a practical, and very sensible person. To me, when someone is coming at an 8-9 yr old with a knife threatening to cut out their tongue my first thought isnt to take a time-out, draw a up a ward, perform a spell, meditate, and visualizing said person with the knife putting it down and apologizing for their crazy-head behavior then going time-in and hoping everything...
Anonymous asked: I also agree with Katy. She doesn't deserve to have a fucking kid if she's going to threaten to cut off his tongue. That's just disgusting and she needs to be locked up.
inshekina asked: I completely disagree with the anon complaining about Katy's advice. I think it was sensible advice. If someone's mother is doing things like threatening to cut off their child's tongue then the relevant authorities need to be aware of it.
Anonymous asked: also, katy- they took the time to write you a 3 part question- so please answer their question or suggest they move elsewhere for answers. my immediate answers are to light a black candle, make a protection talisman, meditate and visualize that you are surrounded by white, astral light, which is pure love. i would also suggest contacting a local shamanic worker, or heartlink, or local witch or...
Anonymous asked: katy, sometimes you answer questions so unsympathetically it makes me question your advice and your empathic abilities. obviously, your anonymous inquirer was looking for protection spells/talismans/meditations to assist their friend. perhaps there already is law enforcement involved. but it also concerns magic, and people just don't go to the police with matters of black or evil magic-...

What can he do to protect himself, his dad, and his dad's side of the family?

Anonymous asked: [1/3] Hey guys. So my friend's mother has always practiced magic of sorts, specifically black magic; evil. She casts spells and does rituals against people and I'm pretty sure she does them against him and his father. Once when he was backsassing her (8 or 9 years old), she pulled a knife on him and pinned him down to cut his tongue out for a ritual but he got away. Two nights later, he...

The Pagan Path: Handfasting →
pagans-path:
Handfasting is an alternate form of marriage ceremony originating from Celtic/British roots. It dates back hundreds of years, and spans several cultures. In some cultures (as in the Scottish Highlands), it was a marriage of a “year and a day”. If at the end of the year, the couple found that they…
Anonymous asked: For the person asking about the spell to keep loved ones with you after passing: I would ask that you consider that you will always feel your loved ones by your side as they will always be there when you need them. However, doing a spell to keep them there would be taking away their free will to choose to move on or to choose to remain on this plane even if they're not meant for it. No matter...
getinthehandbasket asked: For alyssamarieithiinkyouvefoundme, I just want you to consider something from my own life experiences. Once you're aligned with the dead, they may seek you out - REGARDLESS of what you want. I have a natural (but unwanted) affinity for the dead, and THEY seek ME out. I've had an entire cemetery clamoring at me to give them attention, to the point of a week of nightmares until I did what...

Anonymous asked: Hi! sorry if this has been asked before, but just to clarify, it is all right to worship gods/goddesses from completely different cultures right? Because I feel very connected to both the Greek and Egyptian pantheons.
