Chatter
Chatter chatter chatter Go all the talking heads Speaking no wisdom Just hate and indifference Wake up in the morning To shouts of “us and them” Power in their words Ratings behind their Amen’s Yes rouse up the people Divide what is yours and mine Pack up your belongings You’re no longer alive Get out! Go back! What I say goes I have all the answers From my microphone throne In the land of mass communication Divinity has nothing on me I can lie, cheat and deceive Instantaneously Don’t tell me to think They do it for me I believe what I hear Cause it brings superiority Gray matter No…

Me,Myself and I, Notes From a Solitary Practitioner
Merry meet Brothers and Sisters! My name is Rayneschild and I am a commited solitary practitioner. I prefer it this way because it allows me to have direct contact with spirit. It also gives me the freedom use invocations, quarter calls, and natures gifts on the fly at the time of ritual allowing me to practice a much freer and less formal type of magick. Thats not to say there aren’t times when I use my tools, altar, and plan ahead, because I definitely do, but there are just as many times that spirit moves me to perform a rite at 2 in the morning wearing fuzzy slippers and flannel…

Musings of a Massachusetts Witch
This is the third part in an ongoing experience titled – Entity. My husband and I decided that we would begin researching the history of our historical home. Perhaps discovering who had lived here would uncover clues that might lead us to a better understanding of what we were experiencing in the residence. Maybe there was a Sarah who dwelled here years ago. Our search might uncover nothing of importance but I knew it would be interesting at the least. Our first visit would be to the library Archives where they kept historical records. We began compiling a list of residence and discovered the following history: From the Assessors Office…

ZAP!
Energy is what gets things done. We use energy to make changes whether we’re talking about magic or the mundane. If you’ve taken a bunch of science classes or just watched Star Trek, you’ve heard a lot about energy… all kinds of energy. So, since you’ve used it, and heard about it, and a good deal of the conversations you’ve had with your fellow magic workers has been about energy, tell me: WHAT IS ENERGY?

They make us feel hurt, angry, disappointed, irritated, depressed. And good things evoke positive emotions such as happy, joyful, cheerful, wonderful, pleased and blissful. What we need to understand is that these are labels that we have placed on circumstances, people and situations we encounter in our lives.…

Synchronicity
There is beauty in Synchronicity. A beauty and a wonder, but it is fading fast. As the human population disagrees on the existence and/or effects of global warming, fragile relationships are disintegrating. It is not enough that global warming is affecting relationships of creatures, human interference between these relationships has also caused much burden. While humans argue disintegration continues. One creature that has existed for millions of years is the horseshoe crab. Not much thought has been given to this ancient creature. The horseshoe crab is in decline and one place it is truly being felt is the Delaware Bay. This simple little creature has been harvested without regulation, without…

Rites and Rituals
The Summer Solstice The morning feels still, the air holds a gentle warmth from yesterday, as dawn kisses the new day with first light. I stand facing the East. My wand is in my left hand, my blade held in the right and I await the new day’s breath. For me, there is a special magick within that initial cool breeze that descends the moment the Earth’s star crosses dawn’s horizon. I open myself with eyes closed, my arms outstretched. I allow the first breeze to pass through me. I can feel it touch my spirit, filling me with a contented peace that emerges, as a smile appears upon my…
