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!

Autumn Equinox, Mabon Tidings


I bring you tidings of autumntime
Blessed in the sunshine
The leaves turn gold by the hour
The winds are strong
There's a passing shower
Powerful Autumn!
As Mabon turns the wheel
For one last time with zeal
 The last blow-out bringing gusts galore
The winds of change far and wide
Happy daze!



Let's dance for the Mabon
Harvest blessings
Pumpkins at the ready
Gourds to dry for rattles
Snakes in the grass
Great times ahead
Bears find honey in abundance
Soft hearted and strong
With the day we belong
Come night the fire's lit
With flames ever sure
Of autumn bringing 
Golden light
The morn looks bright


As we turn inward
We see the way
To a brighter day
Kisses on the wind
How now brown cow!
 Far out!
The deeper you look inside
The more you can hide
Away from the dark
In the light of the mind
Everything you can find
Joyful light to you and me
Meditation and vision see

Inner minds of light
What becomes of the Sight
Dear souls unite!
Love deep in your heart and mind
Your soul as One
Life with soulmate has begun!
Star seed meets like mind
Bliss is what you'll find
Thank you Lord for love's blessing
Thank you Lady for always kindness
May we pray to the heavens above
To be blessed in Love
Thank you kindly for marriage's vows
Deep in you heart
Your soul lives on!


The balance of life restored
Dark and light
Moon and Sun
Evermore since time has begun
The wheel turns for everyone!
Blessed be

The Spirit of the COW!

 

The Spirit of the COW!

The cow a blessed creature symbolises all we know about the Goddess in Her Mother aspect. There be stories in Ancient Eireland that talk of three magical cows coming to the shore, one white (the Maiden), one red (the Mother) and the other black (the Crone). Although all aspects of the Goddess are represented here, the Cow symbolises everything We know of Motherhood most of all.

She nurtures, She cares
She cAtches Us unawares
She gives and receives
She runs through the leaves
She gathers, She collects
An abundance of things
Life is what She brings!

This little poem shows Us just how important a Mother is!!
The Mother Goddess gives Her life for Her children and is always happy to do so!!
In my experience children give you so much back with their little hearts, just a smile in the morning or a joyful laugh and I'm happy they're happy!!
Motherhood is such a joy for a woman and to me the Cow symbolises joy everlasting! Cows seem to walk about with a smile upon their faces and exude happiness and forgiveness.
Forgiveness is the "Key to Life" I've always felt!
So in this way Cows are a vital aspect to all We know and love! The Cow has so much to teach Us about how to be good people. They live together happily in large numbers, for a small field and are always seen to gather at watering holes.
This community living is a wonderful way for us Humans to be and learn from!
The Cow really does represent PEACE in it's true essence!
The peaceful and giving nature of the Cow shows Us how We can all live together happily and help to provide for Our families and One another.
By lending a hand and by giving practical help or even giving of Our work some how we can all provide for the starving, poor and needy people in this sad, sad World of Ours!

Peace is such a vital aspect of Life to truly appreciate the Human being in their best and only true nature!
How can We look at this World of Ours seeing war and famine and suffering of any kind without ACTING in some peaceful way to put it right!!

The Cow brings blessings in "Abundance"!!
Although as a VEGE-head I only see the Cow as a friend who lives happily around me, their Sacredness to Human has been revered in INDIA always.
Happily the people of BUDDHA hold the gentleness of the Cow as most important to it's nature and also live like I do, in true respect of the animal's FR-REEDOM!
Nice peeps!!

With Motherhood comes responsibility and the Cow and Her male Bull both show great protection to their young and loved One! The Bull will stand strong in the face of "Foe" and will charge at invaders when need be!
However the Cow is ALL Goddess' and remains protective in peace of the young and old. Woman could do much by learning of this blessed duality and the sacredness of the TRUST between Cow and Bull!

I feel this animal really epitomises the Goddess at Her best in all Her four aspects while living the Life of a Mother!
This teaches Us wimmin that Life begins with being a Mother whatever age that is for you!
Life has so much to offer Us in motherhood and the Goddess knows that! After all, the planet We live on that gives Us LIFE itself, is a MOTHER GODDESS, the MOTHER EARTH!

Thanks for reading mi lil prose, I hope you enjoyed mi rant!!
With joy I bring you a painting of the Cow I found on the net!
