Book Review – Daily Oracle: Seek Answers from Your Higher Self by Jerico Mandybur
Book Review Daily Oracle Seek Answers from Your Higher Self byJerico Mandybur 368 Pages I was blessed to receive a copy of the book “Daily Oracle” by Jerico Mandybur to read and try out. This hardback book was illustrated by Jenny My Duvet. Published in 2019 by Hardie Grant Books. There are 368 pages but the pages aren’t numbered. It’s a very thick, meaty little book. The pages are all in black and white and it has a very cohesive look. The illustrations are minimal but very beautifully done. I enjoy the overall aesthetic of this book. This is a book yes…but it’s really an Oracle.…

The Bee – An Excerpt From Pagan Portals: Celtic Witchcraft by Mabh Savage
The following includes an excerpt from Pagan Portals: Celtic Witchcraft by Mabh Savage An animal that has had many sacred associations throughout the aeons, yet is mentioned all too infrequently in Celtic texts, is the bee. We know the Celts ate honey and drank mead, so they must have had skill with bees, yet it is rarely written of by the scholars of the middle ages who gave us most of the Celtic literature we now refer to. The bee is a dangerous animal that simply needs to be respected. Yes, a bee can sting you and undoubtedly it will hurt. It can even kill, if you are sensitive…

Book Review – The New Model of Love: Naturally Supercharge Your Relationships by Charles Lim Wu
Book Review The New Model of Love Naturally Supercharge Your Relationships by Charles Lim Wu 320 pages So, as I’ve stated before, in my reviews, I generally don’t read anything about the author or the book before I do my review.

Mr. Wu is the creator of a new movement called Modelism and is the first Lucid…

The Hardest Thing About a Druid Path: The Pagan Divide from the World I’ve been on a druid path since 1982, nearly forty years. And right from the very first moment, during a small ritual on Mother’s Day in 1982, I felt the Goddess come in to lead me, a Goddess no one had mentioned in my entire life before that. Growing up, I lived within a Christian framework, until I was 35 and felt intensely drawn to read about Celtic times and lore, learning about the Goddess as I explored. And She began to show up in my quiet times or just before I fell asleep, too. After…

Book Review – Russian Black Magic: The Beliefs and Practices of Heretics and Blasphemers by Natasha Helvin
Book Review Russian Black Magic The Beliefs and Practices of Heretics and Blasphemers by Natasha Helvin 176 Pages I didn’t really know what to make of this book when I received it – I don’t really believe in the reality of “black” magic – or “white” magic, for that matter – magic is magic! – and I don’t care about the practices of so-called “heretics and blasphemers” – where I’m from, spiritually, “heretics and blasphemers” are simply those who do not adhere to the orthodox view, whatever it may be. Which would include me. So although I read it eagerly – I love anything about Russian culture –…
