Powerful juju doesn't have to be complicated, but it does need to be a physical act undertaken with commitment and sincerity. You must commit to your magickal works if you want them to have any chance of succeeding. I find powerful juju in the morning mist when I water my plants, flowers, and trees. I find powerful juju in the prism colors of bubbles I blow in my morning ritual space. Nature, trees, water, bubbles. I think we can all clearly see why those spaces would hold powerful juju. However, there is another space where I find super powerful juju, and that space belongs to dolls. Dolls. Not everyone is akin to having dolls do magickal work for them. Some people are terrified of ...
When I started researching the historical roots of Werewolf Magick, I was shocked that, from prehistory on, there was so much romance as well as wild wolfy stuff mentioned. There were a lot of ancient werewolf temples with shapeshifters and clearly sexy rites, like Mt. Lykaion in Greece. The werewolf festivals were even wilder and more erotic, like the four-day drunken orgy of Roman Lupercalia, where the Luperkal or "werewolf priests" ran about in a frenzy encouraging a lot of out of control public behavior for which you'd be arrested today.

I was often unable to get out of bed often due to depression and existential despair. When I could get out of bed, I was smeared in glitter and cheap tequila while dancing on tables. I had almost no conception about how money worked, a strong desire for expensive things (a trait I share with my beloved uncle) and a ...
The phrase Traditional Witchcraft has gained a lot of traction over recent years. The abundance of information available since the dawning of the internet has made research superior than in previous eras. In terms of witchcraft, the resources for study that relate directly to the historic and folkloric currents of witchery are more advanced than any preceding. Indeed, the flourishing of literature on the subject, from both lay individuals and academics alike, has expanded the topic greatly. Gone are the days of the theories of the survival of a pagan cult, which persisted perilously through the Middle Ages as the witch cult, championed by the likes of anthropologist and folklorist ...
