Everything Under the Moon

As with most things, it depends on the branch of paganism you pracice. Some traditions will say that the only thing made of metal should be the Athame. Others don't care. Still others forbid all metal.

British Traditional Wicca, to my knowledge, generally disapproves. A homosexual relationship cannot create a child, after all, and BTW's all about fertility and the male/female balance.

Never ever EVER leave a burning candle unattended! If the spell says to let it burn down, then stay with it whilst you do so. If you can't, blow it out, and then re-light it the next time you can stay with it. It won't make a blind bit of difference, and could save your life. Basic fire safety, peop...

Did you drink the drink after the cricket was put in? If not, even if it was a spell you won't have anything to worry about :) If so, then remember that most of any curse's power comes from the cursed person believing in it! If it makes you feel better, then do a protection/purification spell and ke...

No, no no. They are fictional spells, made up by someone who was aiming for theatrical impact rather than anything even remotely approaching usable.

There's also Marian Green's "A Witch Alone".

Sounds like your right hand is the 'receptive' hand, then. Your power hand would still be your left, and that would be the hand you should use for casting Circle and anything 'active'. For more 'passive' or 'receptive' things, like sensing energy, use your right hand.

Lavender's good. Oil or the fresh/dried herb.

Try using baking paper and an iron

And fess up if it doesn't work!

I'll be spring cleaning and otherwise purifying the house and myself. First signs of Spring here, although we're just entering another cold snap. Hopefully those flowers that have sprouted won't die

Please don't put the salt in your garden. You'll kill it. Either use the salt in your cooking or wash it down the drain!

Hi, As long as you perform the Muslim rites with honour and respect for Allah in your heart, that is the important thing. And if you don't believe in Him, at least respect the beliefs of those around you who do. One theological thought among pagans is that "All Gods are one God, and all Goddess...

Have you looked into the Snake being one of your totem animals? That would be the most obvious explanation to me.


...either that, or were you reading Harry Potter before bed? xD
