Jeff Bridges…. Donny was just a figment of Walter’s imagination, an old war buddy. He didn’t even exist.. So now I need to watch it AGAIN. 🤔
Did you notice this? Well, there’s a horse of a different color!
What brings you the most happiness?
I find that I’m pretty much always happy, or at the very least, content. Comfortable. I don’t need to go looking for something external.
However, for me, pure joy us precious time with family and close friends. I need no more than that.

Which Witch School
Have you studied at a School for Witches? Are you considering?
I’ve delved into a couple of the more well-known schools, and have not yet found the one for me, but I do take valuable learning experiences from all sources.
With so many paths, there are many choices: online, group, personal mentor. It can be difficult to choose!
Here are some good starting places if you’re toying with the idea.

Which Witch Are You?
Throughout history, witches have practiced magic and called upon ethereal beings and all worldly offerings to help bring about positive change for all. Although many Witches and Pagans were feared as keepers of the Devil’s ways, in reality, we were simply natural healers, the “Wise Women” (and men) of our collective times, who only sought to bring the forth the powerful natural gifts provided by Our Mother, even to those who would rudicule and fear us.
Today, we find a greater acceptance of our beliefs and abilities, as natural extensions of ourselves. Witches, Wizards, Soothsayers, Mediums, Apothecaries and those like us are sought for our problem-solving skills and knowledge of all things natural. We are called upon for healing, cleansing, blessing, enlightenment, and all around good works.
Many of us join with covens, official or more relaxed, and many of us practice in solitary, each as we desire. Either way, we all strive to make all life here and in the hereafter, the best it can be.
Some of us use specific tools and symbols to gather insight and direct intention. Wands, candles, oils and incense, herbs, pendulums, sigils, scrying mirrors, tea leaves, runes, gifted feathers, sacred woods, botanicals and more, can all be powerful allies in our practice.
We may classify ourselves as Green Witches, Garden Witches, Kitchen Witches, Hedge Witches, White Witches, Healers, Apothecaries, Wiccan, Pagan, Neo-Celtic or Neo-Pagan, Druid, Mediums, Ceremonial, Elemental, Lewellen and so many more. Some choose to delve into magical studies. Many prefer not to select a particular path at all. Only you know who you are.
Specific tools and symbols may be employed to assist with gathering insight and directing intention. Wands, candles, oils and incense, herbs, pendulums, sigils, scrying mirrors, tea leaves, runes, gifted feathers, fire, water, crystals, sacred woods, botanicals and more, can all be powerful allies in our practice.
I consider myself to be an Eclectic Hereditary, as I draw from the knowledge of the many Ancients as well as bring born into a long line of humble, yet strong-willed Celtic Wise-Women, Herbal Healers, schooled by Jesuits and Druids, Mothers, Grandmothers and Great Aunts.
We are “The Knowers”, born with an innate ability to sense and feel others, a gift that sometimes needs to be reigned in for our own well-being. Fortunate to have been encouraged to gather knowledge and to explore all things known and unknown, big and small, felt and sensed, even as a child I knew that there was much more to life than meets the eye.
We here at WitchTastic, love to hear about your own personal journey to this space.

Who’s in the Mirror?
If you could experience the life of anyone in literature or film, who would that be? Why?
Wand at the Ready
I shaped this powerful wand with naturally felled wood from Lehigh County, PA. Hand-Carved with love, it’s intentions grew evident. Bejeweled with a kaleidoscope of Mother Earth’s crystals, and blessed, saged, anointed with frankensence, amber and rose oil, imbued with positivity, this work of love calls forth all the magic that awaits.
You Got This, Spud!
We made these cute little PosiTaters for our awesome team.
Just because. Everyone can use a little reminder now and then.

Conjuring the Elements
This is wonderful. In Wicca, as in other Traditions, the Words sometimes get in the way. Evoking oneness without them, without symbols or chantings or other disguises of the consciousness….THIS is perfect. Please read this selection shared from Kaos Butterfly. It may change the way you see things from here.
This is an approach to the traditional Wiccan calling of the elements, sans all causal forms—that is, it uses no words, no symbols, no forms or anything of that nature. It relies entirely on one’s fluency with energy, how well developed the astral senses are, and an empathy with the elements and with Nature—nothing that can be obtained from a book or some religion. This is just the basic outline, and it assume one will have the skill to know what to do with it all.
Enter a deep trance.
Facing east – Imagine yourself weightless, floating in the sky. Breathe in the air element for 4 breaths.
Facing south – Imagine yourself on fire, feeling the heat of the flames all over. Breathe in the fire element for 4 breaths.
Facing west – Imagine yourself underwater, feeling the coldness of the water. Breathe in the water element for 4…

Do You Live an Esoteric Life?
Do you live an Esoteric Life?
Have you considered that inside of you, are bits and pieces of information that can only be understood by you, and perhaps a select few other beings on the face of this earth? That you are truly unique. That in you lies the basis for the Akashic Record of the Universe?
Now you may say, esoterics, that doesn’t apply to me. I’m just a regular person living a regular life. Mundane. Run of the mill. Nothing special. Just like everyone else. I hold no secrets. I have no revelations to tell. Well, I would say, you should think on that some more.
Now I hold no belief that I, by any means understand a tiny fraction of what there is to know or understand. But what I do understand is that we all have something profound to say and do. Each of us. You know something that I don’t know, and may never understand. I may know something that you don’t know. Together, we hold the combined knowledge of the universe right here on earth.
YOU are important. YOU have something to contribute. YOU are a part of the Universe, and without you it could not be complete. Each of us has a reason for being. It’s not something we might think of every day over our morning coffee, but I believe it to be so. And the mystery of it all is that neither you nor I may ever “know” or comprehend what it is that we give to the rest of the world…but there’s something. It’s there. In each of us.
The thoughts we think, the words we say, the knowledge we hold, our feelings, our intuitions, our fears and doubts, all contribute to the sense of reality that is our universe. A sense that is at the very best of times incomprehensible. Real, yet unreal. At our fingertips, yet unattainable.
The Akashic Record holds that everything that ever has been, is now, or ever will be, can be known. It is knowable. All of it. If we only have the means to grasp it. Problem is, who knows what those means are? How can things that have never happened be knowable? How can the mysteries of the eons past be decipherable? Consider that the answers lie within each of us. A database made of billions of sentient beings. Each of us holding a key to the lock on some small iota of information that we, and only we alone, can know. If we impart these thoughts to others, a greater understanding is gained.
Something as simple as a knowing glance, an agreement, a debate, a kindness or a word spoken in passing, can spark knowledge inside another that theretofore had not been at the forefront of their minds. A revelation of sorts. It’s happened to you, right? That moment, any moment, just like any other moment of any other day. You’re going about your business and suddenly something that someone says in passing suddenly opens up a deep and profound understanding within you. And you think to yourself, “Wow! I never thought of it that way before!” But now, you do. And you delve into that. You think on it. Consider it. Maybe even figure it out. A collective thought process has made that one small revelation come to life inside you.
Consider that each of us has a multifaceted affect upon the other. The way I respond to you today may affect the way you ultimately react in similar situations for the rest of your life. A small kindness to another person can truly change their perception of existence. The thoughts that you have, while reading this, right now, have an effect on the way you perceive yourself, the way you perceive me, the way you look at the world that surrounds you. Everything that we say, do and feel, means something. We’ll all striving for what that something is. Meaning.
The meaning of life. The meaning of existence. Why are we here? What is the purpose of my life? That’s what we all want to know is it not? We don’t wake up every morning and wonder aloud, “what am I doing here?” But the quest is always present. After all, its innately human to want to know, learn, gain, understand.
So, I say to you, the next time you find yourself in a difficult situation, take a deep breath, smile, and just know … everything..and I mean everything…happens for a reason.
And someone, somewhere, understands what that reason is.
Life is a puzzle. We each hold a piece. Come Together.

Candle Magic for Beginners
Beginning
CANDLE MAGIC
and
Color Chart
Many of us use candles for comfort, and others look to them for even more. Candle magic can seem as if its complex and complicated, but once you are familiar with it, it can be fun, easy and effective.
First things first. If you are considering candle magic, you must have a clear goal in mind. Think it through thoroughly before you begin. Work only in positivity as negative goals can only bring negative results back to you in the end.
Choose what type of candle you will work with. A free-standing or taper candle is easy as it can be held in the hand, inscribed and anointed without much fuss. If using a glass encased candle, first ascertain whether or not the candle can be removed and replaced within the receptacle. If it is removable, then remove it from the glass and proceed, replacing it when you’ve completed the candle preparation. This will make sense as we we go on.
It is essential to understand the importance of color in candle magic. Below you will find a chart of common uses for candle colors, but more importantly, consider what they mean to you. Take the color red for example; how does a bright red affect you vs a warm dark red? Feel the difference. Feel the colors. Feel their effect upon your emotions. Choosing an appropriate candle color is an important step in achieving your goal.
Once you’ve decided upon your goal and chosen the colors you want to work with, you will cleanse the candle to remove any residual energy that it may have picked up during the manufacturing process. Better yet, if you have made the candle yourself, you will have imprinted it with your intentions from its very inception.
Holding the candle in hand, clean the candle surface from bottom to top with a tissue or cotton cloth dipped into rubbing alcohol to remove these energies. If you intend to work with a glass encased candle, and the candle cannot be removed and replaced into the receptacle, use the alcohol to clean the exterior of the container of any wax and residue. Using alcohol in this initial step allows for complete evaporation of any unwanted residues and energies that may be present.
When you have finished cleansing the candle, you will dedicate it explicitly to the purpose at hand. This is called consecration. There are various methods of consecration,. The processes of affirmation and anointing are described here.
Think about the purpose of the ritual you are about to embark on, and using a sharp object carve into your candle the symbols that will help you to realize your goal. Carve these symbols into the side of the candle, or in the case of a glass encased candle, into the top. For example, if the goal is romance a heart and the initials of your intended could be used. Other symbols such as astrological signs, runes or elements may be used, depending on the outcome you desire. While carving, continue to envision your goals. Chanting or repeating your intentions while carving is especially helpful in focusing your mind and personal energies. This is called affirmation. See * NOTE below.
Next you will anoint your candle with special oils or waters, as you choose. You may use commercial essential oils or specially prepared waters, or create your own personal mixtures. Consider the goal at hand when choosing the compounds you wish to work with. Commercially prepared oils and waters are available for various purposes such as love, prosperity, healing, etc. Use your fingers to rub the entire surface of the candle with the oils. If using waters, mist gently or sprinkle with your fingers. If you are working toward attracting good, such as bringing new love into your life, rub the candle from top to bottom. Alternatively, if you are working toward expelling negativity from your life, such as bad habits, illness or unwanted situations, rub the candle from bottom to top. Use long firm strokes, envisioning adding something to, or removing something from, the candle, and in turn, your life. If you cannot decide which direction you should oil the candle, simply begin in the middle and work your way toward both ends simultaneously. When working with a glass encased candle that cannot be removed from its receptacle, anoint the top and exposed surfaces of the candle, working in a clockwise motion to draw the good and counterclockwise to expel negativity.
Your cleansed and consecrated candle should be used for one purpose only. If you prepare a candle for prosperity purposes, don’t use it for anything else. Decide how often and for how long a time your are going to burn your candle and choose a size according to purpose. If you consider your goal to be very important and essential, you may wish to burn your candle every day for several days, so choosing a very large candle. Alternatively you may choose to use several smaller candles and burn one each day. If you choose to use smaller candles remember to cleanse and consecrate each one before use.
If necessary, replace the candle into its receptacle. Light your candle. Do so consciously. Concentrate on your intentions. Be aware that fire has an affinity with the spiritual plane.
Keeping in mind that positivity is ALWAYS the goal, you may recite the following:
“An it harm none, do what ye will”.
* NOTE: For the beginner, or if you are uncertain of how to use symbols, runes, or inscriptions, there are commercially pre-prepared inscribed candles available at any of metaphysical shop. They are perfectly appropriate for use, provided you follow the cleansing, anointing and intentional rituals just the same.
I like Azure Green for supplies.
