Ahhhh spring! The time for a witch to get busy planning, growing, and beginning new projects and goals. One project I start every Ostara is kicking off the outdoor growing process for my cannabis seeds by germinating them. This is done in 3 easy steps over a few days. I combine each major step with a short meditation ritual to build intent into the seeds and encourage them to grow with me over the course of their life-cycle.  I've highlighted the steps and meditation process below for you 1. Soaking Period: Take your cannabis seeds and soak overnight in a...

Imbolc blessings witches! As winter hits its midway point and spring is on the horizon, it is a time to clear the air, rid ourselves of items that no longer serve us, and create new tools and endeavours in the waning dark so they are ready to sprout in spring. An Imbolc cleaning is a perfect way to begin this important time. But while most spring cleaners might be frantically Marie Kondo-ing their homes, we witches take a much more magickal approach to cleaning, building intent into every cleaning action.

Cannabis is compatible with witchcraft in so many ways! This magickal multi-use plant can amplify your meditation and divination practices, help you connect with your spirits, be used in spellwork, enhance your magickal ceremonies and bathing rituals, or in this blog's case, help increase your confidence and self-possession.

In previous blogs, I've written about how cannabis can be a relaxant. It can calm the mind and the...

Spring equinox marks a powerful turning point in our year. On March 19th, the day and night hours are equal length, and from here on out, light will start to dominate (in the northern hemisphere, that is - in the south, it will be fall equinox, and the dark will start to dominate). No matter where you are in the world, the symbolism of the equinox is potent; we are leaving behind one official half of the year and moving forward into another, and before we do so we stand on a threshold.  In ritual, thresholds are powerful energetic spaces....

At Imbolc, the earth is quickening like a child in the belly of its mother. The light is returning, and with it comes the promise of new life. Thus, we honour Brigid (or Brigit), Goddess of Healing and Fertility, Goddess of Smiths, and Goddess of Poetry. I've been practicing witchcraft for decades now, and this ritual comes directly from the Book of Shadows I kept as a teen witch. Back then, I practiced by myself in the woods that lined the local creek, using spells and rituals I wrote myself ... and some that I copied out of books I wished...
