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!

Springtime..


As Springtime blossoms and renews all life
So we begin to let go of trouble and strife
Our new vision of the dawn
Is one that's bright and new
The sunshine returns for all to bask
In the Sun God's glory
Warmth so fine
It dries the clothes on the washing line!!
The Sun God returneth now
We bask in His light and warm Our souls
In springtime's blessed light
However you describe the experience
It's one of pure delight!

Blessed be the light of day
The glory of new dawn
As day breaks we begin anew
To weather every storm
We gathered in the harvest last year
And now it's time to plant
Those seeds of promise
Of a new day
Of food to feed Our tribe
Of bright and beautiful flowers
Of fruit and vegetables of all kins
Welcome springtime
Thank thee dear
Ostara, Eostre
Thank you Great Lady
For this time of year
Is one I treasure still
It brings me new life
It heals ALL the strife
Of winter long time past
Of darkness
Of cold
Of days of old
For new life blossoms here
Thank thee
Thank thee
Lady of Spring
Let the new life truly begin!
Let's nurture life to ever fruit
To blossom, mature and sprout
Let's dance and sing
For life to begin
To really take shape
All around!
Thank you for sound!
Blessed be

All images in my video are taken from a Google search for "Celtic Goddess' of Spring", however although inspired by an ancient tale the voice of the singer is my own.
I hope you enjoy listening and watching as much as I did making the video.
Blessings!

The time of the Imbolc


Deep beneath the Earth
Awakens the Maiden
She stretches and gasps a breath
She makes sweet sounds
She sits up and looks around
Mother, where are you?
Here my dear!
Let us go see the sun together
Bright beautiful sunshine
A blue sky white wispy clouds
The warmth of Spring is here

Deep in the house the Amma has been busy
All is well prepared
The hearth fire is lit
The candles are burning
The chalice full of mylk
White roses of peace
A warmth to Her skin in the firelight
All is clean and new
A night's work
A morning's glory
Welcome in the Spring
Out with the old
In with the new
Sugar and spice and all things nice
That's what little girl's are made of!

Yuletide approaches soon..


Well yuletide is in the air
Whistles down the street
Happy daze!
Peace and Goodwill to all mankind
Where to now?
Away from the spooks!
Back to the roots
Of pagan strong and wiccan long
Of family celebrations
A long time coming this year
Is This yule ahead
Why do the worlds unite
With the ever bright candles
Of yesteryear
Of tomorrow, today and yesterday
How do we save life

Kithara sunshine

The dance of the year
Has turned the wheel
To abundance and harvest of the world
"When will there be a harvest for the world!"
Beautiful times,blessed ways
Looking at my love with a gaze
Helpless child in my arms
Strong you are, wise you be
Let's sing with glee
The summer has been everything
Nice and warm
Friendly and kind
Let's keep all in mind!

Beltane blessings!

Rasta, Kell and all divine
Join the dance of the Beltane sunshine
Welcome to the Oak king
Back with summer
He brings blessings of strength and light
Ever so gentle , Ever so bright
Forward and onward
To summer beautiful
The transition from darkness into light
Goodbye to sadness
