Witches have not received good publicity
Witches always end up to be the bad guys in television shows, movies, and books. But witchcraft is not evil. It is a religion and way of life. It is the craft with only the utmost respect for Mother Nature. They may possess supernatural abilities and can perform rituals that are out of the ordinary but they are not what the society pictures them to be. If you are one of those that believe in the w...

An Innocent, Care-Free Pagan Race
“Look back a little and see what has happened. Nineteen hundred years ago you were an innocent, care-free pagan race. You worshipped countless Gods and Goddesses, the spirits of the air, of the running streams and of the woodland. You took unblushing pride in the glory of your naked bodies. You carved images of your gods and of the tantalizing human figure. You delighted in the combats of th...

So you can compare Baduhenna with some sort of Valkyrie. Henna means leader/protector,he...
The Principle of Vibration

Objects, plants, and animals have an energy signature that is often perceived as an aura. Interestingly, when we change our energy or mental state, the world around us changes to match the new vibration....
The Principle of Correspondence
This principle teaches us that “As above, so below. As within, so without.” We do exist on all planes—the astral/spiritual, energetic, and physical—so this principle is a lesson in perspective. When most authors try to explain this “lesson of perspective,” often you will read a riff about holograms, which, I confess, makes me lose whatever is left of my mind. Holograms? Please. You’ll have t...
