Exploring Candle Magick by Patricia Telesco – Book Review
MM, It’s now rare for me to pick up a book from the Wicca section of the bookstore. I have found that there are one too many “fluff bunny” books out there, including some that I read when I first started reading about witchcraft and Wicca. There are some things to look out for in…

Sunday circle – January 21, 2007
MM, Public ritual this past Sunday was a simple one. The primary purpose of it was to connect with the goddess and the god in by whatever names we know them. The format of the ritual was the standard Odyssean. The main part of the ritual was the reading of “The Charge of the Goddess”…

Book Nook
MM, I finished reading The Forest House by Marion Zimmer Bradley. She’s a great author, I have to say. Although the book seems to be another Romeo and Juliet type romantic tragedy, there’s still a twist at the end that I was not expecting. Compared to other fiction writers, she can make a fairly boring…

Happy January!
MM, This year started out busy for me. First, Nathan and I were treated to a visit from his brother. He came to stay with us during the New Year’s weekend. Thus, the last part of 2006 was spent showing our visitor around the city and taking him to a few places. Public ritual on…

Happy Yule and Season’s Greetings!
MM, The winter solstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year and called Yule for most pagans and Wiccans, has come and gone. Usually about this time, I spend time to myself and tend to be a bit “hermity”. Hence, the lack of blog posts for two weeks! Plus, I needed to de-stress…

Duties of the Summoner
MM, A friend asked me recently about my role as Summoner at the WCC. Since I haven’t had a chance to explain my duties as Summoner on here, I thought I’d post my reply to my friend. “The number one priority of the Summoner is the safety of the High Priestess of the coven. In…

For now, please read the introductory page to Wicca and a Wicca-related article, “Raising Power in Group Rituals”. I am currently reviewing…

New Article on Website
MM, I finally got around to working on my website a bit. I have revised the “Spiritual Development” page, and added an article in that section called “Spirituality and Religion – What’s the Difference?” In the future, I hope to write some articles about paganism, witchcraft, and in particular, Wicca. There is an abundance of…

Public Ritual – November 26, 2006
Last Sunday’s public ritual was an interesting one about balancing intellect and imagination. The southwest (fire and water) corner represented imagination and the northeast corner (air and earth) represented intellect. Each participant was given the opportunity to choose between the two corners, deciding what they needed most at that moment or in their character. At…
