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!

Deep in wintertime

 icy glens with trees a sparkling

With wintery skeletons that have such a presence

The cold reaches every part

Light up the fires we need the warmth

Toasty by the heat

Wrapped up for sleepyheads to enjoy the warm

Tucked up tight all seems calm

Brews a'plenty warm coffee

The big yule log made of chocolate

Christmastime was full of cheer

Everyone was here

Drinks were flowing, Food so nice

Lots of sugar and spice

Lights on the tree sparkling through the hours

How to say Good day to you

Remember goodwill to all

That's what makes Christmas 

May the skeletons dance...

 As night falls at halloween

The children gather round

Gazing up to the stars

Remembering all they've known

Skeletons dance through the night

Witches cackle what a sight

Witches brew is drunk for sure

Cauldrons warming on the fire

Twinkle twinkle little star 

How I wonder what you are

Up above the sky so bright

Like a candle in the night

Halloween approaches with a bang

The bone fires sparkling in the sky

Everything on high

How much more can we give

To a world that just won't shift

Potters turn at the wheel

Spin the wheel to see the year

Cards of tarot



An Autumn of Song

Well this Autumn was an interesting and reviving one! We enjoyed a quiet time with the leaves and the trees. Here's a little dittie to enjoy Autumn:


As the leaves tumble to the floor,

Autumn dwells with us once more,

Red and brown and gold and green

Everything is still unseen

Magic is in everything

Can you see the angels sing?

Hark the herald angels sing

Glory to the new born king

Where on Earth to dwell

Jesus our Emmanuel

With a yuletide twist on this

Where will be the mistletoe kiss?

Heart and soul together again

Happy daze will be forever.
