So much of what I do as a witch has nothing to do with being a witch.

In my dealing with clients I have to be more than a witch. I have to be a friend, a confidante, a guru, a therapist, a counselor, a teacher, mediator and coach. It can be a bit like the tilt-a-whirl; deciding which role I am taking on with a particular client and a different role with another client.

With spells and rituals it is easy. I have the spell, usually I have cast it already a hundred times. I could cast (and do) some of them completely from memory. I can get into an alpha state in a flash. I connect to my astral body and commence my spirit work without a second thought. But dealing with people - accommodating their specific needs and being what they need when they need it - that is much more difficult.

I am eager to help; I’ve been like that since I was young. Everyone always came to me with their problems and asked me for advice.I was the Dear Abby of my fifth grade class. I never told secrets which was one reason I could be trusted with sensitive information. It wasn’t because I was naturally conscientious - it was because I never had anyone to tell! That’s why it is smart to tell the weird kid. Besides who would believe them?

As I got older, I was less weird and more interesting to my friends and they continued to put me in a place of counsel. I liked getting into their lives and really knowing them. I wasn’t as keen however to reveal myself or go to anyone else for advice. I’m still like that today. I’m a seeker of my own solutions and I keep my thoughts about my own life to myself. I cannot imagine boring anyone (but my mother - she loves it or my best friend Stephanie) with details about my “issues” or problems.

I listen instead. It is part of the service. I will use magick to help you, absolutely, but magick is not all I have in my bag of tricks. And often magick is not all that is needed.

For the first time in almost two weeks, I am among the living. I have been laid to waste with pneumonia and today was the first day in 12 days that I could leave the house.

I don’t get sick. Healers and caregivers usually don’t; we tend to have strong constitutions. The last time I was this ill, I was in my twenties, so it has been over a decade. It caught me off-guard; it slowed me down to a crawl. The caregiver needed to have someone care for her. Thankfully I did have that - my mother and good friends who called me to cheer me up even when I couldn’t speak due to hoarseness. Thank you Goddess for helping me slow down a bit. I needed that.

I was able to cast some spells on the New Moon which actually helped to bring my energy way up. No wonder there! I’ve been casting right along this week, catching up on everything and will be mailing out results finally. I am fortunate enough to have wonderful and understanding clients. There were a couple that I think thought I was making it up or had an excuse or something; but only a couple of them out of so many tells me I have compassionate and kind-hearted clients.

I do not use traditional medicine unless I have absolutely no choice and I had none this time. Still I drank gallons of herbal brews and tisanes with honey and drank juice and took Flower Essences to help. My Doctor was impressed. He said usually patients who come down with pneumonia have it at least 2 and half weeks or more.

Today is a special day - the Spring Equinox - also known as Ostara. This is the pagan version of Easter. It usually falls on the 21st or 22nd of March.

The Equinox is also the perfect time for a witch to take stock of her magick. I am a witch who believes strongly in the concept of Spring Cleaning - meaning out with the old and tired and open up with the new and flourishing. I take stock of spells, oil mixes, herbal freshness, candle supplies as well as mix up new batches of magickal oils and powders. The Spring is all about renewal.

Here is more on Ostara:

It is loosely based on several holidays which were celebrated around the Vernal Equinox, and not having a strong relation to any known historical Paganreligious observation. The name goes back to Jakob Grimm, who, in his Deutsche Mythologie, speculated about an ancient German goddess Ostara, after whom the Easter festival (German: Ostern) could have been named. Grimm’s main source is a book by the Venerable Bede. Bede had put forward the thesis that the Anglo-Saxon name for April: Eosturmonath was named after a goddess Eostre.

Ostara is one of the eight major Wiccan holidays or sabbats of the Wheel of the Year. Ostara is celebrated on the Vernal Equinox, in the Northern hemisphere around March 21 and in the Southern hemisphere around September 23, depending upon the specific timing of the equinox. Among the Wiccan sabbats, it is preceded by Imbolc and followed by Beltane.

“The Festival of Ostara at the spring equinox marks the end of winter and the beginning of the season of rebirth (spring), and is celebrated by a feast in honor of Frigg and Freya.

In the book Eight Sabbats for Witches by Janet and Stewart Farrar, the festival Ostara is characterized by the rejoining of the Mother Goddess and her lover-consort-son, who spent the winter months in death. Other variations include the young God regaining strength in his youth after being born at Yule, and the Goddess returning to her Maiden aspect.

The Christian religion adopted these emblems for Easter which is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. The theme of the conception of the Goddess was adapted as the Feast of the Annunciation, occurring on the alternative fixed calendar date of March 25 Old Lady Day, the earlier date of the equinox. Lady Day may also refer to other goddesses (such as Venus and Aphrodite), many of whom have festivals celebrated at this time.

Traditional Foods: Leafy green vegetables, Dairy foods, nuts such as Pumpkin, Sunflower and Pine. Flower dishes and Sprouts.

Herbs and Flowers: Daffodil, Jonquils, Woodruff, Violet, Gorse, Olive, Peony, Iris, Narcissus and all spring flowers.

Incense: Jasmine, Rose, Strawberry, floral of any type.

Sacred Gemstone: Jasper

Activities: Planting seeds or starting a Magickal Herb Garden. Taking a long walk in nature with no intent other than reflecting on the Magick of nature and our Great Mother and her bounty.

This was an incredible holiday for me. You may find this surprising, since I am not Chinese. However since I have been studying Ancient Chinese Magick; I have found myself drawn more and more to Chinese culture, traditions and their thousands of years of civilized history.

My relationship with China has been confusing since I am Buddhist and support many organizations hoping to free Tibet from Chinese occupation. I have followed His Holiness, the Dalai Lama’s message of compassion and good will toward those who invaded his country in the late fifties. I have a deep reverence for China, even though I have disagreed with their politics. This has been an excellent lesson in compassion. I have learned to love the people and culture outside of political disagreements. My interest in China was further enticed in learning Feng Shui, working with the I Ching and studying Chinese Mysticism.

I have offered a Chinese Prosperity spell for over a year now as well as my Chinese Prosperity oil. Both work incredibly well and have deep roots in Feng Shui and Chinese history.

The spoken word incantation of the spell for Prosperity accompanies an envelope of symbols and Chinese herbs used in the spell. Part of the spell is spoken in Mandarin. The incantation is so lovely it is like a song. It takes me away to another land, another time. Thousands of years of magick go into that spell. I am passing something unique on to my clients; giving them a piece of history.

Since my witch-name is Dragonspell; you can imagine I am attracted to Dragons! I love Asian Dragons especially. One of my most sacred possesions is a Dragon ring and bracelet that I was given when I took my name. They are both Asian Dragons and have brought me incredible good fortune.

I have several Dragon Spell’s but I do not offer them on the site. I decided to celebrate Chinese New Year this year by offering a powerful wish-granting/desire Dragon Spell.

I conducted this spell, this past night.

It is an incredibly long spell - first there is an energy clearing, then chanting, then a prayer in Mandarin. I also must invoke my Mythical Animal Guide (the Dragon) to assist with the spell. It was limited to seven clients for I have to do each part individually.

Six hours later, here I am, coming down after the high of casting these Dragon Spells. The incense, the crackling of the fire in the fire pit, the numbing chill in the air (Central Florida gets cold at night this time of year!) and the promise of strong hot coffee to help me ground myself after I finished the last spell; seems almost like a dream now.

I often feel that way after casting. Most witches do as we enter an altered state (Alpha State) that is like lucid dreaming. Often I cannot recall exact details but I am aware that I have cast the spells and sent the energy out and have experienced the flashback that uplifts my spirit to the light of the Goddess. She and I have been one and that great touch of the feminine divine is like no other feeling I have felt.

It was my great honor to deliver the desires to Her hands on this night; this New Year, this New Moon and may she grant these desires and wishes with pure love, compassion and understanding. With harm to none and blessings to all.

xin nein kuai le!
(Happy New Year in Mandarin)

Most love isn’t about love. It is about winning. And winning is all about ego.

As a Buddhist one of the issues I work on constantly is seeing outside of my ego which in effect destroys it. The beginning, in fact the whole of enlightenment is an egoless state. To realize emptiness (in the Buddhist sense) is to be without ego.

Yet so many people invest their ego in loving. It becomes all about their happiness, not the happiness of the one they love. To love without ego is pure and does not mean you are a doormat. It means that you see outside relative truth (which is everyday truth) to absolute truth (essentially - what is - is.).

Many clients write to me and ask me: How do I know my love is pure?

It is an interesting question and one that can have many answers. One answer may be that if you have to ask the question, then your love is probably not pure - however that is a little flippant for my taste. To know yourself is to understand the love you feel for another and to realize the purity of this love is a deep transformative process.

There are some questions you can ask yourself to see the purity and egolessness of your feelings. Don’t be alarmed if you find the answers are not to your liking. Just remember this is a process. No one begins self-exploration as all-knowing.

1. Ask yourself about the happiness of the one you love. Is their happiness more important than yours? What if that happiness does not include you in their life? Would you still have feelings of love for them?

2. If the one you love told you that they did not love you at all - would you still feel the same way?

3. Ask yourself what needs this person fills in your life. The fewer the needs filled the more genuine the love. Love without attachments is the most pure love there is.

4. Imagine your life without this person in it - would you be able to find happiness in some form again? A pure love, once again does not have attachments. If you feel your life would end when theirs did that does not actually mean that you feel so deeply for them, just that you have attached unrealistic value to them.

That said, I wonder what love is but unrealistic value of a person!

5. There is a clear line between real love and obsession.

Ask yourself if you are happy. When you wake up, are you glad to be alive? Is your life on a positive track? Do you have hope for the future? Do you have dreams and work toward them all the time?

6. Are you in this relationship alone? If you are you need to ask yourself why this is and how much this matters to you. Does it matter to you that none of your dreams and hopes may ever come to fruition or are you comfortable with that, having no expectations?

In the end no one can tell you if you are in love or not. Or if your love is pure or infatuation or obsession. This is for you to seek and to know.

When you do know; you will know yourself better than you ever have before.

Before you read this post any further - stop! Go out to your local metaphysical/new age shop and get a sage smudge stick. Got it? Good, now let’s talk about clearing out some negativity.

Why use Sage?

Sage dissipates negative energy. Use it to clear out residual negativity from situations that occur in the home. This is an Ancient Native American tradition and works beautifully. I personally smudge before any working, just to make sure I’ve cleared the air around me.

All About Sage (from Michelle Chihacou White Puma Klein-Hass)

There are several varieties of each genus of Sage that are used for smudging. Salvia, or the herb sage used for cooking, comes in two major varieties: S. officinalis, commonly known as Garden Sage, and S. apiana, commonly known as White Sage. Salvia varieties have long been acknowledged as healing herbs, reflected in the fact that its genus name comes from the Latin root word salvare, which is the verb “to heal” or “to save.”

Artemisia is the genus commonly considered “Sagebrush”, and is more common in the wilds in California. There are two major varieties to the Artemisia genus: A. californica or Common Sagebrush, and A. vulgaris or Mugwort.

There are many other varieties of both Salvia and Artemisia, and all are effective in smudging.

Other Herbs to Use

Cedar: For smudging, the best is Western Red Cedar (Thuja occidentalis) and California Incense Cedar (Libocedrus descurrens). Cedar is burnt while praying to the Great Spirit in meditation, and also to bless a house before moving in as is the tradition in the Northwest and Western Canada. It works both as a purifier and as a way to attract good energy in your direction. It is usually available in herb stores in chipped form, which must be sprinkled over a charcoal in a brazier.

Sweetgrass: Very important to the Sioux and Cherokee nations, its botanical name is Hierochloë odorata. In these tribes, the sweetgrass is braided like hair braids. It could be burnt by lighting the end of it, or (more economically) by shaving little bits of it onto charcoal in a brazier. Sweetgrass is burnt after smudging with sage, to welcome in good influences after the bad had been driven out. Sweetgrass is very rare today, and traditional Plains people have been attempting to protect the last of it.

How to Smudge

I personally use a sage bundle and a fire-proof vessel for it. Some suggest using an Abalone Shell but check on this - I have heard that Abalone is sacred to the Great Mother. I just use a ceramic plate.

I also have several gorgeous sage smudging fans which make it easy to direct the smoke around my space. I only cleanse my entire dwelling every six months or so but every time I cast I smudge the altar and any tools I am using.

If you do the entire house make sure to get the smoke into closets and drawers. You may feel a little silly but trust me - in the end it will be worth it.

After you smudge you will want to light a nice incense (sandalwood or lavender) and open the windows to let the negativity out. If you cannot open your windows - just open the front door for about 10 minutes.

I’ve also heard that lighting a white candle to help purify the space following it is a good idea. I always have candles lit anyway.

Keep your attitude very clear and focused - think thoughts of love and joy. Smudging is a powerful practice and makes a deep connected with Gaia (Mother Earth).

I had an interesting email this week from a favorite client of mine. She had been sent a dire list from a friend warning her against the experience of engaging a witch online. In a semi-panic she emailed me to ask me if the following list meant that she unwittingly had made in error in contacting me for spellwork.

Here is the list she forwarded to me:

1. Do not purchase a spell from a website that sells mojos, amulets and other “cheap and nasty” souviner items.
2. Never ever purchase a spell form a website that does not have an actual physical address AND telephone contact number.
3. Do not purchase any spell from any website that does not ask for biological samples. Without this no spell will ever be fruitful. Authentic spell casters will always ask you for biological materials.
4. Do not ever send cash or western union to any of these cold hearted thieves. The majority are utter frauds.
5. Do not purchase from any website that has tacky “cartoons” and fancy slide shows or gimmicks to suck you in.
6. Do not purchase spells that promise LOVE. There is no way known that you can make some one love you. If that were the case there would be no such thing as a broken heart.
7. Do not purchase any spells from any website that will send you nothing in return. A spell will not work without a talisman. Remember that the circle of energies will not be completed without a talisman.

She wrote, “Is any of the above true? Why does this person state that you require biological materials, talismans etc? What does a physical address prove? Could please look at each point and tell me why or why not he / she / or they are incorrect?”

Since other clients might see a list like this, I decided to post my response to her.

My response:

#1. Do not purchase a spell from a website that sells mojos, amulets and other “cheap and nasty” souviner items. - I do not sell cheap and nasty mojos or amulets. I handmake everything I sell. I use a variety of items when I create mojos. I know the kind they are speaking of - the kind sold by companies aimed mostly at Latin American markets like indioproducts.com (they sell from $3.95 - $7.95). My mojos are not like these. My mojos are made in accordance with Hoodoo mysteries, a form of magick indigenous to the American South.

#2. Never ever purchase a spell form a website that does not have an actual physical address AND telephone contact number. - This is meaningless as many of the con-artists on the web post a home address and telephone number. I personally would never post that information, as I would have people calling me at all hours. I will call people who are established clients . Once you place an order with me and get physical results from a spell, you will receive my return address on the label.

#3. Do not purchase any spell from any website that does not ask for biological samples. Without this no spell will ever be fruitful. Authentic spell casters will always ask you for biological materials. - Absolutely 100 percent NOT TRUE. I work with energy - not biology. I don’t need hair or blood or nail clippings. Asking for this is going for shock value. The most I have ever asked for (according to certain spells) is a signature. There is more inherent energy in a signature (and name) than biological material. DNA only tells you about the present incarnation of a person. Since our souls and higher minds are pure energy what point is it to have biological material? I suppose if I really wanted to scare people with my voodoo-ness, I could make them run around getting hairs off their boyfriends sweaters, but I don’t need that for my spellwork.

#4. Do not ever send cash or western union to any of these cold hearted thieves. The majority are utter frauds. - I have International clients who can only send Money Orders or Western Union. Of course I have Paypal available for them (for checks and credit cards), but certain countries cannot use it. I don’t see anything wrong with it unless a spellcaster ONLY takes Western Union or Money Orders.

#5. Do not purchase from any website that has tacky “cartoons” and fancy slide shows or gimmicks to suck you in. - Tacky cartoons? Well, this sounds like a personal opinion to me.

#6. Do not purchase spells that promise LOVE. There is no way known that you can make some one love you. If that were the case there would be no such thing as a broken heart. - Interesting since the author of this list sells love spells and even promises - “Make him or her fall deeply in love with you”. As I say in my blog and in my FAQ and elsewhere on my site - everyone has free will - so there is no way you can manipulate someone to become your loveslave against their will. That goes against the laws of nature. But love does not have to be manipulated - it can be fostered, tended, urged - in many different ways.

#7. Do not purchase any spells from any website that will send you nothing in return. A spell will not work without a talisman. Remember that the circle of energies will not be completed without a talisman. - Pure hokum. You don’t need a talisman. Magick comes from your MIND and SPIRIT. Sure certain things have their own properties and correspondences - for instance Patchouli oil smells very sexy and puts most people in the mood. But do I NEED it to cast a love spell? Is that really a spell? No. It is called “Sympathetic Magick” and certain items are used as SYMBOLS, nothing more. Most of my spells have a physical result but a few have something that is consumed in the casting (like the BEACON OF LOVE and REALITY SHIFT). You cannot see or touch magick - it is energy.

My final thoughts on this:

I’ve been doing this since I was 15 years old and my magick has evolved as I’ve aged. Sometimes I want to perform a high magick ritual with my family on a Sabbat (such as this past Yule), because it is a celebration of nature and the Goddess and God. But when I am a working witch and casting dozens upon dozens of spells per moon phase, I work as a solitary witch, casting spells before my altar, using spells I have been studying or creating or re-creating during the past 22 years. Magick is a living art form; it changes.

For me witchcraft is not a business alone - it is a CRAFT, first and foremost. It is not my religion since I am Buddhist. But it is PART of my practice, part of my daily life, as it ties me to nature and the worship of the Goddess. Crafting spells and casting them is an art to me and there are many facets to my art - alchemy, herbalism, divination, crystal healing, reiki, meditation, chanting, soul journeys, drumming, root work, High Magick, and many other mysteries that I have studied. In a way it is like asking a painter “How do you paint?” Or a Doctor - “How do you heal?” or a Priest - How do you pray?” I have learned and practiced for many years. It is what I do to make a living. But most of all it is who I am - a witch.

Its about an hour or two before we will be settling in for our traditional casual Christmas Eve dinner. Family members are in the living room watching “Pirates of the Caribbean II: Dead Mans Chest” and I am safely ensconced in my office, listening to Christmas Music on Yahoo. Tomorrow the house will be filled with people and merry-making and this is my last few moments of quiet calm. Our “real” holiday was already celebrated anyway (Yule) so this is simply another excuse for festivity.

I’ve got lovely bayberry candles burning throughout the house (they have been since Yule) and hand-made incense from witch-friend Silver Ravenwolf that makes the house smell glorious.

I am a huge supporter of witch-craft and like to get my supplies and such from witches who really know their stuff. Here are some of my favorites:

Silver Ravenwolf’s Ebay Store: http://stores.ebay.com/silverravenwolfdesigns

Silver offers so many unique items. I have many of her oils and incense. I make many of my own oils, but sometimes its great to have a collection made by another witch. Her stand-out items are her jewelry and art curios. They are quite lovely. And yes, this is the same Silver Ravenwolf who writes all the books on witchcraft!

Earthy Elements: http://www.earthyelements.com

Joanna is the most talented Shamaness I know. Her artwork is exquisite and her products are used in some of my mojo and spells (especially her herb mixes). I have many of her art pieces in my collection. I especially love her gourd bowls and spirit drums. She also makes the lovliest Medicine Bags and jewelry.

Knickertwist’s: http://knickertwists.ecrater.com/

Before she opened this adorable emporium, Niccola was known as “La Bona Dea” (the Good Goddess). I use her herbs and oils and have a couple of her natural wood wands for various uses. Niccola is an eclectic but like me has a strong background in Stregha (Italian Witchcraft), so I immediately felt at home many years ago when I discovered her offerings. Another gifted artist, I own many of her original painted boxes.

Dinner is ready -we’ll eat then watch “Scrooge” with Albert Finney, my favorite rendition of “A Christmas Carol” since I was a child - I always loved musicals!

So I’d like to say - “Thank you very much, thank you very much - that’s the nicest thing that anyone’s ever done for me!”

See you after Christmas.

I cannot believe that it is only 4 days until Yule! Where does the time go at this season of the year?

The good news is the family will all be arrving for Yule and Christmas and that the house is nearly ready to receive them. It seems like only yesterday we were having Thanksgiving dinner with our friends; making our plans for Christmas. Now it’s so close I can smell the eggnog and gingerbread!

For Yule this year we will cast our traditional Bayberry Prosperity spell. We will also have the lighting of the Yule log and a lovely feast. I will make Scottish Meat Pie as usual and then we will have a Yule log cake roll for dessert. Did I mention the Mead? And the punch? Oh and eggnog?

I love that Yule is so precious to us but also that it is a warm-up for Christmas. We don’t do Yule gifts; we just wait until Christmas. This year my brother will be getting his Christmas gift early - he bought a vintage corvette! I will be riding shotgun - that I guarantee!

More about Yule:

Yule is also known as the Winter Solstice. On the longest night of the year it is thought that the Goddess will give birth to the Sun God which heralds a re-birth of the light; a renewal of the coming warmth of Spring and Summer.

It’s no coincidence that many Yule traditions found new life inthe Christian holiday of Christmas. It is believed that Pope Julius I eschewed the idea of Christmas being a lunar holiday (that changed every year) and decided on December 25th as the appropriate day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Thus in the fourth century Christmas found its timeless date and became one over hundreds of years with the pagan celebration of Yule.

Some of the very well-known Christmas traditions that originated as pagan are:

The Christmas Tree: This was part of Germanic Pagan Yule celebrations as well as Druidic celebrations. A tree was brought into the home in winter and decorated with berries, preserved flowers and strung with food items (seeds and nuts) as an offering to the Goddess and God. This served double duty as also appeasing the spirits of the forest and bringing good luck to the home. The tree would be live and then re-planted after winter. The earliest record of an evergreen being decorated in a Christian celebration was in 1521 in the Alsace region of Germany.

Yule Log: To celebrate Yule (the coming of the sun) a log would be brought back to the homestead to be burned on the eve of Winter Solstice. It was usually of birch, oak, pine or holly. Elder was never used as this tree was sacred to the Druids. A piece of the log would be saved to burn the following year and kept in the home for good fortune and protection. Most pagans still celebrate Yule with a Yule log but often not in a fireplace. They would use a log with holes drilled in it for candles (3 candles) that they can light on Yule Eve.

Mistletoe: Since mistletoe was known as a Druidic healing herb (and bringer of peace), it is believed that kissing under the Mistletoe was probably a fertility rite. There is a Norse myth that involves Freya and her son who was slain by an arrow of mistletoe. When he was resurrected, Freya used the mistletoe as a blessing and gave a kiss to anyone who passed beneath it.

Giving Gifts: It was common during the pagan celebration of Saturnalia (in Rome) for gifts to be exchanged. This is probably the origin of gift giving on Yule (the same day as Saturnalia, which was the Roman celebration of the WInter Solstice.) and then Christmas.

Reindeer: The stag was closely tied to The Horned One (The Green Man - God of the Forest), so it was quite natural for these creatures to become associated with Yule. Originally Santa Claus himself was depicted as an expression of the Holly King(another embodiment of the God), so it was perfect for them to pull his sleigh.

Santa Claus: The Holly King (king of the waning year) does battle with the Oak King (king of the waxing year) and traditionally the Holly King is killed and the Oak King begins his reign. The Holly King will be reborn again at Midsummer. The Holly King wore red or green often with boughs of holly and a pine wreath upon his head. Both kings are actually versions of the same Forest God.

Christmas Wreath: Since Pagans celebrated the Circle of Life, the wreath was embleamtic of this custom. It signifies the Wheel of the Year and the eight sabbats. Wreaths became popular in Norse lands during Yule celebrations. One particularly pagan holdover is the Advent Wreath.

Since I’ve been working as a witch on the web now for three years, I’ve met so many incredible people. I’m astounded by the locations of some of them - Pakistan to Peoria, Singapore to San Bernadino. Melbourne to Minnetonka.

At least half of my clients are foreign, many of them from Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. Every now and then a surprise location will pop up though like Mumbai or Hong Kong. I cannot tell you how much it means to me that I am able to work with the world and not just a small provincial location where I live. I thank the Goddess for the reach of the web at the same time I curse it since so many people end up falling for the charlatans on the web.

What I feel though for all of my clients is a kind of love that is hard to describe. Some of my clients have returned to me many times for many different kinds of magick over the years. I’ve watched their lives grow and change. Seen photos of children who were born out of unions I helped them to manifest. I have a cache of wedding photos stored on my hard drive as well as happy couple photos from vacations in exotic locations around the world.

I save all my correspondences with every client, so I can keep up with them. I always appreciate it when they let me know what is going on in their lives. I feel so much joy in hearing from my long-term clients and being a part of their lives in some small way.

I put my heart and soul into my spells. I use the love that I feel for my family, my soulmate, my husband, my familiar to draw love to my clients. That means that everytime I cast a spell for love some of my love goes into it. That’s the only way I’ve found that it can possibly work.
Love + Love = More Love. Love attracts love. After over 20 years of doing this; I’ve gotten pretty good at it.

There are all kinds of love. For instance one of the greatest love relationships I’ve ever had has not even been with a human! It’s been with my familiar. For 17 years this unbelievable creature has been at my side, a part of me. Witch’s familars give great power and unconditional love to us. I am blessed by his presence.

I have a special bond with my family - each in different ways. We are closer than ever right now; having endured some dramas that made us stronger. Their love is a haven for me.

Sometimes our friends can be the greatest loves in our lives. I think about my dear old best friend from high school and how we always knew that no matter what else happened in our lives, when we are old are grey we will be there for each other.

I’ve been very fortunate to be able to fall in love with my closest friends. I think of my friend in Australia that I have known for a decade and how there is not anything I would not do for him. It feels good to be able to give that much of myself. It has taught me so much about myself by giving love like this. My heart is full. My heart is open.

This love letter is really to my clients though. You are amazing people and I am honored to be invited to assist you. I’m glad you found me.
