Merry Meet and Welcome!

Merry Meet Again! This blog is called Practical Magic and my aim is to teach spellwork for the beginner witch/wizard! I began my Wiccan path about 20 years ago and have grown ever since in power and strength as a witchy woman! I practice magic as a Solitary Green Witch and work with the powers within herbs, incenses and the essence of Colour in magic. Candle magic is my forte!!

I have a great interest in Animal Totems and my personal totems are the Dog, Gorilla, Raven and Lion. I saw my totem pole in a sacred dream once and have worked with these Power animals ever since. To me, Dog symbolises Loyalty, Gorilla - Benevolence, Raven - Protection and Lion - Strength. There are much more to these Power Animals and I will write a post describing working with the spirit of Totems.

I come from Britain where Animal have been held sacred by the Celts & Druids always alike Native America and Shamans of the Celts would work with their Power Animals as guides. I have a Druid Animal Oracle Deck and if you would like a reading, please get in touch at angelstaroracle@live.co.uk I enjoy reading the cards and this service is FREE!!!

I create crystal healing jewellery under the name of Ravenmoon Designs and my website www.ravenmoondesigns.co.uk has information pages on crystal affinities and astrology.

I hope you find the practice of Wicca as enthralling as I do and what ever your personal path, may you gain wisdom from these pages. Blessings!

the Mysteries of Ostara


as the wheel turns once more
life becomes ever sure
Tender steps of Imbolc time
Have led us here to celebrate
To celebrate life in all Her glory
To tell that ever-lasting story
Of life's young blood
Ever growing ever knowing
Of flowers making bold bright songs
Heralding spring is where daffodil belongs

As Ostara's touch upon the world
Brings colours bright
Let's life spring into being
She opens Her heart to the new
she holds tight fast to what she knew
She grows in wisdom each and every day
Each day and night we pray
For the rebirth of the spring
To breathe life into everything
May the Sun shine ever bright
to cast out the darkness of the night
To bring a new day
As the hare looks to the dawn
so life will be reborn
A garland of spring flowers
Like the Lady's mantle
Spreads o'er the earth
to brighten every day
Let the children play
Roll eggs down hills
Paint and eat
chocolate treats are really neat
Eggs in a basket
hold wisdom for sure
Each a dream to become true
hold tight to each and every egg
Nurture each one til it blossoms
Into a blessed dream alive and well
thanks be to the goddess!
Thanks for the Sun
thanks and praises from everyone

The magic of Imbolc

Every year at Imbolc I like to let the sun shine in! as the wheel turns to the spring it's all about letting life flow after the dark days of winter into the light once more. This year I spent Imbolc with my family celebrating the Maiden goddess with daughters laughing and singing.. How better!
Life takes on a whole new meaning at this time of year, and joy is everlasting. We feel renewed and full of life! as the maiden goddess shines so we are healed from everything that has hurt our being. It's a time to look to the future and begin to make plans. Everything that comes to be at Imbolc is ever growing through the year as the cycle turns and comes to fruition at Mabon. So begin a new world and start a new life with joy in your heart and light in your soul. Welcome to paradise!

A windy night!

A windy night
Need not fright
All you need remember is
Wind blowing means one thing
"Strength for your being"
Home or you
Apache blessing from Us two
Mother and daughter
Gentle souls
Sharing the night together
Moon and stars
Paradise with candles
As the wind rushes about
