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!

Halloween Last

Dancing spirits glorious rise
The dark Unicorn hits the skies
This one Mystique will protect you just
Dark yet bright with sparkle
Heed ye must

With baskets in hand
We gathered well
The blessings of the Halloween spell
Traditions a'plenty
Held so dear
Round 'ere

While we must say goodbye
The morrow comes
Samhain is nigh
The night is bright
And many sing
For all those dear departed
To gather near

Why must they come and go
OH why I do not know
But on this night remember well
We do all those we lost ago
Perhaps the burning candles tell
A story of our mournful dwell

With All Hallows Eve agon
The spirits leave 
To move back to where the veils draw close
And why they ever leave us know one knows

Thank you God and the Goddess too
For all that's beneath the sky of blue
But most of all thanks for this night
When magical beings with the Sight
Can enjoy again time with those they mourn
Can gather tight from dusk til dawn
That special evening of magic divine
That you gifted us 
Tween yours and mine
The One
The True 
Held so dear
Perhaps the Night will make it clear
Special cookies on a plate
Nooks and crannies to decorate
Life is good and life is great!

Halloween from dusk til dawn



From dusk til dawn,
the wych do fly.
Angels watch over without prying eye.
The Lord and the Lady gather for the feast.
Where will it end, the prince or the beast?
Tricks up your sleeve
Treats in your pot
Everyone laughing
At what you've got!

Whether your Russian, American or British,
We all celebrate the night of the pumpkin
The Jack O'Lantern burning
The baby awakes,
"Mummy can I have some more hot cakes?"
Why do we do it?
Well you might ask?
For fun, for merriment.
To just have a blast.

Some say the Wheel turns on this very night,
Some say at Midnight, the dew it be bright,
Full of moonlight,
Magic, Mystery and more
Try and see
You'll be ever sure!

Welcome to the magic of the Halloween!

Halloween amongst the children...


Well it was all nice to return home
Begin the transformation into magical creatures, ghosties and ghoulies
This year I was a green batwoman witch
My little one was a vampire
why you ask?
Well her dad is Count Dracula
She don't stand much chance!!
Little angel
I love Halloween
All the beauty of dressing up yourself and the house
We had a few decorations mostly a good jack o' lantaern!!
I wish I could really go to town
Perhaps next year we will do what others in the neighbourhood excel at
It's really big round here#
I love seeing their houses looking spooky!!
Trick or treating is great fun
This year petal cakes was extra generous and gave away half her stash of goodies to the big kids so karmically she's blessed!
Where do Our hearts go?
To find the way home
Obscure but true
He was dressed well for Halloween
Rolled in from the pub looking like himself!!!!
That's enough to scare anyone!!
Why do we act like fools gold
Because it's pyrite!
It's a lovely crystal of fire and might!
Well thank you good people of the Halloween
WE dream on to Yuletide!!
Blessings of light and love
Blessed BE

The winter spin...

The halloween came by with pumpkin a'plenty
We had the ghost look; pumpkin, toy you name it
Everything ghouly 
Everything candly bright
It all went on that night
Welcome to the new world!
Look beyond the realms of darkness and light
Deep into the heart
You'll see a new day emerge
Bright and beautiful
Here comes wintertime!!

The wheel of the years in the house....




Remembering the times of yesteryear
Of the light shining through the darkness
Will all praise the heavens above!
Welcome to a world of love and light
Upon each and every night of nights
We shine forth to a bright new day
Welcome tomorrow when the children play
Have a nice day!

Samhain fun!


Pumpkins lit and burning bright
Jack o'lanterns shine through the night
Fire sprites gather with sparkling eyes
Ladies dressed in black
Welcome to a New cycle
How will we protect
This night of all nights
To bring around a new day
Where the kids play
Forever and a day
With fire and light
With water and emotion
With earth and mirth
With air and incense
In a circle we gather
Together we celebrate
The turning wheel


Haunted houses
Spirits appear
To join Us welcoming the new year
Light that pumpkin
Ancestral gifts
Thank you for all you bring
It is for you we sing
We learn from the ancient Ones
The Morrighan's heart
Doth give Us glory
Us witches circle
Through the night
Candles ever bright

As the fire lights
and the Wheel turns
Yearning hearts do burn
For glory in the morn
As the Samhain song is sung
Since time has begun
Ladies gather
Sword and wand
Forever true
To their One
Dancing for faith
Singing for peace
Giggling witches
Bring about rebirth with mirth


Lady of Power 
Her Man of might
Fight to save Us
This blessed night
Welcome to wonderland
Welcome you all
Who believe in saving 
The big and the small
The Morrighan's Call

All Hallows Eve

 
 
All Hallows Eve
We do believe
Is full of ghosts and ghoulies
However we truly know
The light doth shine for the Otherworld
For Ancestors to find us in the night
Of All Hallow's Eve!
 
Witches and Warlocks,
Wizards and Pumpkins galore
Shine the light of Heaven once more
The joys of the world unite and sing
"Glory be to everything,
That cometh from justice,
Truth and honesty,
Blessed Be."
 
 
 
Cometh the night of All Hallows Eve
Trouble and strife
Of yesteryear
Come forth the Spirits of the Ancestors
To bring us glory again
May the Kelts unite
This holy night
To free Our souls of tyranny
May trouble subside
May peace reside
In Our hearts, minds and souls
Welcoming the Golden Age
To bring us dreams come true.
May we feel anew.
Rebirth for the Earth is true!
 
 
Blessed Be

Samhain Blessings

 
Samhain Blessings
 
 
 
Here we are again
It's that time of year
To dress up fancy
And give a cheer
Halloween is here!
Tonite we delve deep into Our souls
To find Our inner magic
From deep within Our hearts and minds
Sprout spells and ritual magic!
The magic literally swirls around
Creating glory in it's path
What will be the aftermath?!
 
 
All Hallows Eve
The Ancestors bright
Come hither to be with us on this night
The Kelts of Britain, the knights of old
Have a story to be told
Kind King Arthur and his tribe
Keep this night alive!!
Fighting for what is right
On this most hallowed of night
Beyond the Seventh Seal we send
Those who must make amend
The Veil is thin to all good
Naga gone from Our Heaven!!!
The Otherworld a place of the Ancestors
That once walked these lands
Beautiful Ones with wisdom strong
Knowing what needs to be done
Sending gifts from Heaven above
Flying with wings of a dove
Bring us home to Britain to dwell
Jesus Our Emmanuel!
 
 
How the Moon doth shine so bright
Welcoming us to the night
Ana's light!
The Goddess in being
Grandmother Moon
Shining o'er this world
Of happy peeps playing trick or treat
Friends we always meet
On Our journey across the world
Thanks be to the Heavens
Of new and old!
 
Blessed Be
