  • Book Review: Ambrosia’s Book of Witch Flight by Jasmyne Ambrosia
    by Megan Black on June 22, 2024 at 1:56 pm

    Having only read one other book about spirit flight, I was already very interested in Jasmyne’s take on the subject. Rather than approach the subject solely from a historical and traditional perspective, Jasmyne brings a different perspective to witch flight. It was refreshing to read about another witch’s personal experiences with the Otherworld.

  • Mood-Boosting Magic: Four Tips For Magical Joy
    by Megan Black on May 17, 2024 at 11:42 am

    I woke up in a horrible mood this morning and was trying to think of something I could do to help me. I have a few things in my witchy “toolbox”, so to speak, that are perfect for anxiety, depression, and a general sense of “emotional unwellness”. I wanted to share a few of them with you because I’m sure I’m not the only person to experience this!

    by Megan Black on May 11, 2024 at 11:30 am

  • Book Review: Witchcraft Unchained by Craig Spencer
    by Megan Black on March 24, 2024 at 12:15 am

    Craig Spencer is a Lancashire-based witch who practices a regional form of witchcraft. In this book, the author explores the history of witchcraft through the lens of British Witchcraft. From history to gnosis, this book contains a bit of everything that a modern witch might need to know to further their study in witchcraft regardless of their path.

  • A Day of Revelations
    by Megan Black on March 14, 2024 at 2:41 pm

    It’s barely after 10 AM this morning and it’s already been a day of revelations and epiphanies. I had one this morning while waiting for my child to go to school and another when I left the gym. I did a tarot reading this morning about focus. I’ve really been struggling with direction in life, being pulled this way and that way at any given second.

    by Theresa Reed on July 20, 2024 at 1:47 pm

    There was no privacy in my childhood home. Seven people crammed into a tiny house with one bathroom and no locks on the door meant nothing was sacred, and everything was up for grabs.

    by Theresa Reed on July 6, 2024 at 1:49 pm

    I come from a long line of opinionated people. Take politics, for example. As a child, politics was often discussed at the dinner table. My father only had an eighth-grade education, but he read the newspaper every night and had strong opinions on the state of the world. Most of the time, these dinner conversations were The post The Hit List – A difference of family opinions appeared first on The Tarot Lady.

  • Alexandrian Witchcraft: Vouching & Validity of Initiation — Reference vs. Recommendation
    by Sharon Day on July 21, 2023 at 4:48 pm

    Alexandrian Witchcraft: Vouching & Validity of Initiation — Reference vs. RecommendationWithin the esoteric strands of Alexandrian Witchcraft, the practice of vouching serves as a confirmation of an Initiate’s journey into the sacred realm. It is a declaration, a stamp of authenticity that states: Yes, I can confirm that this person has been initiated into the Craft.Nevertheless, this fundamental process is often misconstrued, leading to a convolution that the witchcraft community […]

  • Alexandrian Witchcraft & Wiccan Vouching: Ring of Truth or Ring of Fire?
    by Sharon Day on March 7, 2018 at 4:27 pm

    She was the third High Priesthood Finn to join us for an afternoon meeting to verify her lineage — in other words, to obtain a ‘vouch’ for the integrity of her initiatory status. Not, however, before Maxine extolled her utter disdain for this ‘vouching business’, as she often calls it.Indeed, I lose track of the times Maxine’s said ‘Alex and I could tell within five minutes if someone was initiated’; or, as another elder she likes to quote said ‘they smell right.’Back […]

  • Music in Alexandrian Witchcraft
    by Maxine Sanders on November 25, 2022 at 9:44 am

    ‘My first experience of circle music of sorts was at cakes and wine after my initiation; the wine was flowing, and the singing of the Witches became progressively, if not less joyously, out of tune.It was 1964 when the Manchester covenstead became the proud owners of a grand music cabinet, highly polished with sliding doors; impressively, it could stack ten records at a time.Sandy Shaw, Anthony Newley and Cilla Black would be playing at full blast as we regularly practised different scrying […]

    In the sixties, Alex and I believed our work and joy as witches meant nothing and no one is too high or low including lords and beggars, the sick, the daft, demonic/angelic and the peculiar.We were mocked and derided by the then Witchcraft elite; of course, we took no notice and continued in the freedom of what was to become known as ‘The Alexandrian Tradition of Witchcraft.’For the past fifty-three years, all manner of humanity has passed over the threshold to my home.

Conjectures and inaccurate responses abounded, ranging from ‘new agey fluffiness’ to heavy-duty partying with consequent hangovers to dressing-to-impress.Alexandrian priesthood as I have known it has always desired to experience the power of ritual and pure intent; and their quest for knowledge and fulfillment would not accord with the cursory presumptions […]
