My New Book ~ embrace your spiritual side

I just ordered a couple more copies of my new book, The Little Handbook of Spiritual Awakening, for my pixies. I received my first copies a couple weeks ago, so I finally have a clear copy to photograph (not the author’s proof that has the ugly “not for resale” band around it)… So, if you ordered a copy, are you still waiting for it, or have you received it already, and if so Pictures Please!! I’d love to see where they end up. If you’ve read your new copy and have had time to get acquainted with it, jump on over to amazon with the following link and leave a word about the book. I will greatly appreciate it — thank you!! And, enjoy! If you have NOT ordered your copy — horrors!! — here’s a link so you can do that.

Herbs: Hyssop ~ The Little Handbook of Spirituality

The chapter that I found the most fun to write was Chapter 4:  Botanicals & Pagan Spiritualism.  I love the use of herbs and their energies in the pagan path, and I’m strongly connected to them with my own practice.  There is a nice segment on herbs, all formatted as the excerpt below, with a variety of uses for each herb as it pertains, some quite interesting and a bit unconventional.

If you have ordered your copy of this book, they should start to arrive to their destinations the middle of this month.  I’m waiting, just like all of you, for my first clean copies, so far I have only the author’s proof, which is printed with a wide gray “not for resale” band across the cover.

If you haven’t ordered your copy yet,

please do so at Amazon withTHIS LINK.  

And when you receive your book and have a chance to read it over, I would absolutely love it if you would leave a brief review or a few words on Amazon.  Reviews make all the difference in the success of a book, and they often help someone decide if a particular book is what they’re looking for.

I know I can’t wait for my copies to arrive, and I can’t wait to get your feedback!  I know you’ll love this book as much as I do.

Hyssop

Energy: projective
Planet: Jupiter
Element: fire

Magical uses: purification, protection

Aside from sage, hyssop is the most popular herb for purification, used widely in protective recipes for oils and powders, as well as burned for its cleansing purifying smoke.

If you’re feeling a bit tarnished spiritually, and you’re not sure from where or whom this energy is coming, you can fix it. Add a little hyssop to your bath water for a cleansing soak. You can add some dried and ground hyssop to your favorite moisturizing lotion or body oils and apply it sparingly, touching your forehead and heart to clear the energy about you.

The Little Handbook of Spiritual Awakening ~ What Chapter was the most difficult to write?

I would have to say that the most challenging chapter to write was Chapter 3, Preparing for Your New Spiritual Life.  

The topics touched upon in this chapter include:

  • What do you need to let go of?
  • What do you need to draw to you?
  • Paving the way.

In the Exercises, Activities, & Exploration section, the first exercise called “Getting Rid of Baggage” was an almost cathartic experience to think and write about, because realistically every single one of us has some sort of baggage.  If you’ve lived at all, you’ve got baggage, it just goes with the human experience, it’s how we learn.

I open the exercise with this paragraph:

“As you experience your personal spiritual awakening, your soul may feel lighter, the world brighter.  But that doesn’t mean that you will experience an instantaneous clearing of baggage you’ve accumulated over time.  You’ll find that clearing emotional, past relationship, and physical baggage is something that you have to consciously choose to do…”

There then is included three brief lists with suggestions for clearing that baggage, because this really needs to be resolved and/or released so we can successfully progress on our spiritual journey and exploration.

Be sure to order your copy of The Little Handbook of Spiritual Awakening @ Amazon, and if the spirit moves you, I would love if you would leave a review or a few brief words about this book at Amazon.  

Thank you all for the support you’ve shown this book, kicking it off with a burst of enthusiasm that charted it at #5.  Please continue your support by leaving a review; passing this link on to someone else who would enjoy this book; and sharing links and posts with your friends, or on social media.

Bright Blessings,

The Little Handbook of Spiritual Awakening… What’s waiting for you inside?

Chapter 1:
[an excerpt]
From Chapter One Exercises, activities, and explorations
3.  Reconnecting with animals and trees

“Do you love trees?  Do  you feel an affinity for, or a special connection with, trees?  Do you have a favorite kind of tree?  Do you have a tree from your childhood experiences that has stuck with you, maybe a particular beloved tree that you think about even now, after all these years?  Do you feel uneasy in a forest, as though you’re being watched?  When the wind blows through trees, do you hear it as voices with a message, or at least feel this energy?”

The Things We Do for Love n’ Money

The introduction to Part 4: Magick for Love n’ Money, page 146, in my book:
Natural Magick the Gray Witch Way @ Amazon

Two things in this world that most preoccupy our minds and determine the quality of our existence are love and money.  We can’t survive without one, and we don’t want to live without the other.  But even in the midst of working magick to bring love and money into our lives, we self-consciously feel the need to temper this desire and our magick with self-imposed restrictions:  “This spell is not to make you rich…“; “It’s unethical to target a particular person in a love spell…“; “Only ask for the necessities…“.

In the midst of the magick, we feel compelled to hold back, whether through societal conditioning or mainstream religious influence.  It’s only when the witch can step beyond these boundaries — into the realm of the Wild Woman, the wizard, the world of infinite possibilities and unbridled occult energy — that she can throw restraint to the winds and attain that which she truly desires and deserves.

Use the correspondences in this section to bring into your life riches that will heighten your existence and love that will take your breath away.

If you don’t already have a copy of this book, click on the link at the beginning of this post to purchase your copy at Amazon — in Print or Kindle.

Of all the books on spells and potions and foot stompin’ magick I’ve written, this is my favorite.  It’s absolutely filled with magical gems rooted in hoodoo and witchcraft.  It’s also the book where I’ve been the most open and frank when it comes to discussing several hot-topic issues in our occult circles that trigger some people.  If you agree with my philosophy and perspective, yay!!, you’ll love this book; and if you don’t — then write a review, let’s hear your perspective.

Stereotypically Deliciously Wicked ~ Wicked Witch Fidelity Spells

(Oh, come on now, you know you would, if you could)

“Make Her Behave” Knot Spell

If you’re considering using this spell, you apparently have a lady with a voracious appetite for sex and not much of a penchant for monogamy. You will use this spell to tame the wild beast, to curb her philandering behavior, and to keep her charms all to yourself.

For this spell you’ll want a red ribbon, traditionally nine feet in length, the typical length for knot magick. You will anoint this ribbon with intimate fluids from her body. This spell may take several days to complete, for over the course of time, you will call out your woman’s name, and once she responds to your voice, you will tie a knot in the red ribbon.

You will tie knots in the red ribbon in the order that follows:

9…7…5…3…1…2…4…6…8

When this part of the spell has finally been completed, and all nine knots are tied, you will place this ribbon in a red bag. Along with the ribbon, you will add a pubic hair from this fem-fatale and copious amounts of nutmeg.

Keep this charm close. As long as you have it, you have the upper hand; and your enchantress shall receive all of her satisfaction from you and you alone.

“Keep Him Faithful” Spell

This spell is the feminine version of the ‘Make Her Behave’ spell for men, only there’s a special twist at the end. For traditional knot magick, as I’ve said, you want a red ribbon approximately nine feet in length, and you will be tying nine knots in this ribbon in a particular order– one knot every time you get your man to answer to your call. It may take a while for you to complete this first phase of the spell, but patience is required, and it will be worth it in the end.

As stated above, this is the order in which you will tie the knots:

9…7…5…3…1…2…4…6…8

After the first phase of the spell is complete, you’ve called your man’s name nine times, and nine times he’s answered you, it’s time to add this ribbon to a red bag.

Here’s where this spell can take a little twist from the version above. If you are working this magick, it’s obviously because your man has been– or is being– unfaithful. Think long and hard about whether you want this character back, whether you want to keep him and his manly charms all to yourself, or would you rather have revenge?

To keep him faithful: Place this red knotted ribbon in a red bag, along with one of the target’s pubic hairs and plenty of nutmeg to inspire monogamy and adoring faithfulness.

Or…

To kill his libido and bring on a bout of impotence: Place this red knotted ribbon in a red bag and add one of your man’s pubic hairs to the bag as well. You will also add the following items — cayenne pepper, Goofer Dust, a length of morning glory vine, and the carcass of a fly. Now spit in the bag and seal it shut. Bury this delectable little morsel in the ground, preferably on land that belongs to the target, or at least in a place close by, where you know that it will not be undisturbed.
