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!

Spring blossom..


As spring came to pass,
The primrose blossomed fine,
bright beautiful blooms
That remind me of my woodland home
Thank you for the passing memories of a childhood bright
Thank you for shining through the night
My dear Grandmother Moon
Thank you for the daffodillies that herald a bright shining day
Where all is glorious all is bright
Where singing goes on day and night
Thanx be to the light! 
Thanks be to the bright shining ones of the Light!
Blessed Be

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 Goddess Ostara


The Goddess Ostara is a wild , wild woman
Dancing by the fireside
the spirit of the Hare is in Her heart
Rebirth and Intuition
As the flames a'flicker
She dances to the beat
Of Her banging drum
Magic is made to the sound of the music
While the Moon looks on
Her feet tread lightly upon the Earth
To help the Great Mother rebirth
Welcome to the New World!

As the drum beats faster
So Ostara does a twirl
Widdeshins She goes
Banishing all the old energies from Her world
Doesil now with vigour 
Giving Her world a new Light
Pink and Orange hue
Tomorrow will be a sky blue
With happiness She closes the circle
Dancing all the while
Looking to the future
With dreamy eyes
Thank You to the Lady
For all Her blessings kind
With gentle heart She kisses the earth
Fertility of mind
Blessed be

Colour is magical!


The faeries fly
O'er hill and dale
The green grass grows 
All around!
Where'ere they grow
Colour doth abound
With joy they sing
Of Earth and ting
With happiness in heart
Bringing delicate nature
To Our worlds!
The blue sky fills with fluffy clouds
Gently they drift by
White upon the face of the heavens
With some news of life divine
Silver linings 
Golden sunshine filtering through the leaves
Green hue to the forest
Bright red berries of autumn
Golden yellows of spring
Heralding a new age
Healing and everyting
Purple Irises look over
The world of pure delight
Beauty in the eye of the beholder
Gentle and pure
Spring has sprung all around
Let's gather together and pray!

Spring blessings!
