    Goddess In The Family

    March 3, 2023 - By 

    Written by Angela L. Todd, Guest Contributor I love goddess imagery. I’m getting to be a big girl and I have started to really tap into the power of that imagery and correlate it to my new size. I say I’m big and strong and I won’t blow away in the wind! I’m seeing goddesses showing up everywhere, and recently I’ve also been feeling a new important link between goddess culture and my work as a family historian. I am so grateful to Michelle Lewis for inspiring me to explore this spiritual aspect of my work. I specialize in histories…

    Beginners Guide to Creating a Magick Sigil

    February 7, 2023 - By 

    Michelle Lewis – The Blessings Butterfly Recently someone in my Moon Witches coven asked, What’s a sigil? After giving the most basic, time-crunched answer, I decided to write a simplified guide about the art of creating sigils. There are many different ways to create a sigil. This is definitely not the only method, but it is one of the simplest. What’s a Sigil? Sigils in the simplest terms are symbols that are believed to have magickal power. Sigils are used for various purposes, such as protection, attraction, or manifestation. Creating your own sigil can be a fun and empowering process!…

    Dollar Store Witchcraft for Witches on a Budget

    November 23, 2022 - By 

    Written By TJ Pandora “Auntie PanPan” Teer, Guest Author Sometimes you just can’t make it to the local occult store at three o’clock in the morning. I have yet to create a 24 hour occult store vending machine…but I’m working on it. In the meantime we must learn the art of improvisation. Sometimes you just simply can not afford certain magickal items as well. When you have been in the craft for a long period of time, of course you have your favorite magick items…but not everyone has seventy dollars for a candle or two hundred dollars for a hand…

    Manifesting With the October Full Moon

    October 7, 2022 - By 

    Michelle Lewis, The Blessings Butterfly October Full Hunter Moon The first full moon of the Fall is known as the Hunter Moon. It is also sometimes called the Blood Moon, not because of a lunar eclipse but because this moon rises before the sun has fully set… casting a reddish hue on Lady Luna as she rises into the evening sky.  You may have felt another surge of energy happening around you, if not within you, due to the collective energetic pushes around the world. The uprisings, the revolutions, the intense power-struggles are A LOT so if you’re feeling affected,…

    Astrology for Introspection: Find your own patterns and make your own meaning

    September 22, 2022 - By 

    By Montine Rummel, Guest Author I am loving the cultural renaissance astrology seems to be having these last few years. Discussions of planetary positions has moved from being observations my friends in the occult world make to fine tune their craft, to seemingly everyone on social media having a hot take about the aspect du jour. Sadly, it doesn’t come without some pitfalls, like capitalism exploiting this popularity and slapping zodiac signs on anything to cash in, and the increase of wrong and misleading things being shared. Despite this, I’m loving the access people have to these ancient observations to…

    10 Fun & Festive Ways to Celebrate Fall Equinox

    September 18, 2022 - By 

    Michelle Lewis, The Blessings Butterfly Hello Fall! Up here in the Northern Hemisphere we officially welcome in the Fall season with this week’s Autumnal Equinox, on Thursday 9/22. How’s the weather where you are? It’s still hot & sunny in SoCal, though I can finally feel that little hint of crispness in the morning air now. Equinox translates from the Latin aequus nox to “equal night” and it is one of the two times each calendar year when there is an equal amount of day & night for both hemispheres… once in the Spring, and once in the Fall.
