Celtic Kitchen Magicks From all that I have read as well as lived,Celtic Magick is more a lifestyle than a religion. Celtic Magick is lived and breathed rather than planned and ritualed. There is constant daily emotional involvement; everything you do in your day has magickal intention. Numbers are very important as well. 3, 5, 7 and 9 are considered very mystical numbers. That being said, you should do in sets of 3, 5, 7 or 9. This trains the brain by repetition to focus your energy and your intention. One thing that makes Celtic Magick different is that it does not teach you that doing magick for yourself is…

The Goddess Nyx Nyx is a goddess full of power and beauty, but has a dark side to her as well. Nyx is the embodiment of the night and is the mother of all things mysterious or inexplicable. Nyx influences sickness and war and is the bringer of night. She rides her chariot across the sky, trailing stars behind her- coating her path with darkness. Nyx is usually accompanied by two of her children, Hypnos (sleep) and Thanatos (death). Nyx is also known as Nux, Nox or simply Night. This goddess of the night was born from chaos and is one of the first-born elemental gods. She later married her…

Are you cyclically confused? In a ceremonial quandary? Completely clueless? Wonder no more. *Ask Your Mama™ Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Spirituality and Didn’t Know Who to Ask™ by ©Mama Donna Henes, Urban Shaman A Question of Keeping Balanced in Rough Seas Dear Mama Donna, I came out of work at 9PM tonight and found my Honda Accord where I had left it in a gigantic parking structure surrounded by cars. It was minus all four wheels — rims and tires. Vandals, probably four of them, did a quick job. I freaked and started shaking. 2 1/2 hours later, I’m home with no car. AAA had a huge…

Renewing Your Bountiful Garden, an Ostara Meditation by Spirit Healer Which dreams will sprout for you on this coming Ostara, the Spring Equinox?  Which seeds of hope did you plant in 2011, then water with your emotions, warm with your passion, and protect with the darkness in the soft soil of silence?

This meditation will help you nurture those goals and dreams you wish to revive or to help…

Enable Ego to Assist in Ascension The passing judgment of others seems to be on the rise; but is it? There have been some significant shifts of late that are forcing the energetic vibration to choose. Like the metaphysical baseball bat to the head, it is forcing a decision to be made and a direction to be chosen. Some have chosen a lower vibration, or in other words to remain with status quo whilst others have opened themselves to the higher vibration. This has been discussed over the last couple of articles and I wanted to look at this more specifically so you, yourself can identify who is doing what…

Raising the Vibration There has been such an increase into awareness and insight of Spiritualism as well as the shift into Spiritualism that I wrote an Ebook on it… mostly because it is all about the energetic vibration and why this is so crucial right now. The awareness of the collective is becoming more apparent and it is this that is being affected by incorrect information or those that want to take advantage for the gain of ego, not the collective. To understand what this all means we need to take a step back… Simply what does all of this mean? Some believe we are in the Piscean Age, where…

Today’s article finds me with questions. Questions about the god’s involvement in our lives. Do they merely observe, and guide, and not interfere, or are they actively changing circumstances in our lives to teach us lessons, or to provide for certain experiences? I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what is really going on in our lives. Is it all random, with no discernable path, or is there someone pulling the strings? Do the gods and goddesses watch us, and see where we are going, without taking an active role in what happens? If they do, they how do we explain how certain events seem to correlate, or as the…

The twelve months of Virtues continues. Our second month on our journey is centered on the word love. There is a lot of power in that four letter word. We use it without thinking about it most of the time and for me it usually involves ice cream or shoes. Many times the word love is spoken to convey a deep connection with another person. There is cynicism at times as well. In January we looked at Simplicity as the foundational building block for the year of virtues. The power inherent in love gives depth and meaning to all we pursue, in our interactions with each other and in our…
