There is a rise of interest in recent times regarding free black magic spells. Many people, especially on the Internet, are offering their services, willing to cast these types of spells at a whim. Dark or black magic is the type of sorcery that uses powers of darkness and usually has a unwholesome consciousness behind it. Any type of black magical workings are to be avoided and definitely anybody offering this type of ritual is to be mistrusted. Normally those using such rituals are out to steal, cause destruction or even in the worst cases to kill others or injure them. Many people who dabble in dark arts do not care about other people or about the possible harmful consequences that could occur...

There's nothing spooky, mysterious or wacky about Magic. It happens all the time. All it takes is the ability to relax, visualise, concentrate and project our minds. You can use Magic to get what you want in life -- all you need are these skills. The Casting of Magic Spells is a natural extension of this practice and development. As such they can be viewed as powerful psychological tools, subtly applying a profound and positive influence on your inner growth and development. Magical work can also give you important insights into your true aspirations, motivations -- and fears. If you have hidden conflicts, then Magic will reveal them. Awareness is the first stage of overcoming what you fear. When...

There is never any need to pay somebody else to work magic for us and it is worth knowing that the rituals we create and practice ourselves are much more powerful than any other designed for us by somebody else. Magic is within us and it is our birthright to practice it. You don't need much to start off either. All you need is a coffee table sized altar, some candles, essential oils and some incense. You can really go to town with all the exciting accoutrements but in order to practice, you don't need all these things at the start, just the basics...

For the Celts, Beltane (known as May Day in modern times) marked the beginning of the pastoral summer season when the herds of livestock were driven out to the summer pastures and mountain grazing lands. The Celts honored the fertility of the gods with gifts and offerings, sometimes including animal or human sacrifice. In Scotland Beltane was one of the quarter days, or terms when rents were due and debts settled. On the eve of Beltane, two fires were built close together and cattle were driven between them to ward off disease prior to putting the stock out to pasture for the new season. Some common questions relating to Beltane are: What is Beltane is it some sort of occult Holiday but not...

So, in the World of Warcraft, one great class is the shaman. They are extremely fun to play, can be very engaging, and a great asset to any raid, instance, or battleground. If you are an enhancement shaman (melee DPS) then there are a few things that you should always remember, in order to help your DPS: 1. Whenever your maelstrom weapon procs to rank 5, either cast chain lightning or lightning bolt immediately (depending on how many targets there are). This is a necessity because if you don't utilize your maelstrom weapon, then you are wasting it! 2. Always use shocks effectively! This means that you use flame shock to add a DoT (Damage over Time) effect on the enemy, followed by a...

Wiccan altars are a very personal affair. What you decide to keep on yours will be down to what you feel gives you energy and the tools that you have a connection with. After that of course, you will want to lay out tools or items that you are working with for a particular spell. That said, some items and layouts are traditional and if you are setting up a Wiccan altar for the first time it would probably be wise to follow a few basic 'rules' until you find you own way. Here are some of the core principals: Energies are often divided into masculine and feminine, especially Gods and Goddesses. You may have icons pertaining to a particular deity on your Wiccan altar, or it could be your tools (eg...

emstone spheres and adding them to your wiccan supplies can be incredibly beneficial for many reasons. Gemstones in general have many different healing, protection, attraction, and purification based properties that by themselves can be quite potent. When added to your rituals and spells these effects can be two fold. The benefit of gemstone spheres however are that they are good sized orbs and the energy concentrated within them is amplified. Being circular, gemstone spheres also make excellent tools for diving and divination purposes which will be discussed below. Gemstone Spheres for Healing Purposes: Gemstone spheres can have remarkable healing powers. Depending on the type of gemstone you have...

Cross-culturally, there is a common belief in spiritual help that is witnessed as an intervention from a non-physical realm into the physical realm that transcends, changes, or heals. This non-physical realm is where the spirits dwell. I was taught that the Lakota people believe there are 405 helping spirits that you are born with that are literally assigned to you: A small army of helpers whose main function is to be of service to you and your human experience. You may choose to use this help throughout your life, or not. There is no judgment if you don't. But why wouldn't you? Whether it's 405 or 1, their help can bring sensational results---magical, miraculous, profound, guiding, transformative...

The Shamanic Journey is an ancient global practice that has helped many individuals and communities to survive and thrive. This practice is related to, but different from, meditation, and its purpose is as important today as its was in the past. It is a healing and discovery tool with specific steps that are quite simple to learn, and it is mastered with practice over time. There are no special skills needed to journey, it is available to anyone interested in learning this way. During a journey, a part of one's consciousness separates from the physical body and is free to explore non-ordinary reality. As a journey concludes the part of consciousness that separated from the body to travel, gather...

Celebrating the birth of Christ, created the origin of Christmas. However, many of the traditions have pagan origins. Some believe the celebration of Christmas was to lead people away from the pagan festival of Saturnalia, the feast with which the Romans commemorated the dedication of the temple of the god Saturn, which was on 17 December. In northern Europe, many traditions that we now consider part of Christian worship were begun long before the participants had ever heard of Christ. The pagans of northern Europe celebrated their winter solstice, known as Yule. Yule was symbolic of the pagan Sun God, Mithras, being born, and was observed on the shortest day of the year. As the Sun God grew and...

Ludd as an official of the Alka Antam in Cambridgeshire, England, Order of Baphomet (OOB) has compiled the basic introductory rites for initiation through the third degree of his Order. This manual is written with the premise, "If you tend to focus and draw upon the light forces of nature and the universe, then strictly speaking you have no place in the Baphomet Rule." As that indicates this is dealing with Dark Arts. There is a structure and hierarchy that is well defined and used throughout the detailed rituals written here. The use of the term "pagan" is a little misleading to a non-pagan, since this is about a specific group that is pagan in the general sense but not representative of all pagans...

You can use crystal and gemstone elixirs to enhance and work with almost anything and everything in your life. They are easy to make, as you only need the appropriate crystal or gemstone, and some distilled or spring water. You will also need one or two glass bowls depending on how you want to charge your water with a direct or indirect method. Here is a fun one to try and works very well! To make an abundance crystal elixir, try using a crystal gem elixir made from an Emerald, or other appropriate crystal that resonates within your vibrational fields. Make your crystal elixir either by a direct or indirect charge, and charge for at least 1 hour. 24 hours is best and provides a stronger elixir, but...

I recall one night time Ayahuasca ceremony, held in a small clearing in the Amazon rainforest. It was a beautiful clear night, there was no moon, and the sky was filled with hundreds of thousands of glistening stars; just looking up at the sky made my head swim. We were surrounded by trees and bushes, but could only discern their shapes and silhouettes. It felt as if I was in nature's primordial theatre. When I had drank the Ayahuasca, the shaman started to chant his Icaros, and within a few minutes, there was the song of birds, fireflies flitting everywhere, the jungle around us was responding to the chants of the shaman. It was an exquisite experience, and the following day, when I discussed the...

Every tree, every plant, has a spirit. People may say that the plant has no mind. I tell them that the plant is alive & conscious. A plant may not talk, but there is a spirit in it that is conscious, that sees everything, which is the soul of the plant, its essence, what makes it alive. The channels through which the water & sap move are the veins of the spirit. Pablo Amaringo, Ayahuasca Visions The first and possibly the most important key in developing your relationship with the Plant Spirit (and what really helps to 'open the door' ie. makes the connection work), is a benign attitude and to have good intentions and feelings towards the plant. The plant consciousness or spirit...

Balder and Rejuvenation As a Runic Shaman, you are now building your mental powers to include all the tools you will need within your own mind. All the work you do will be on the mental plane. If you want to create Health, Wealth, or Happiness for yourself or friends, kin or loved ones, you must first do it on the mental plane.

The Age of Aquarius has given us the Laws of Quantum Physics. The Laws of Quantum Physics tell us that there exists and infinite ocean of thinking, intelligent energy called the...

The English language word shaman comes to English from the Tungus language of Siberia through Russian. The word is at once a verb as well as a noun. Some people today believe that "shamanism" is a religion, but it isn't. Instead the word has been taken to describe practices that are global throughout a vast array of ancient cultures from all over the planet. These practices were described by the cutting edge anthropologist Mircea Eliade as "ecstatic" and refer to spiritual-communion rituals and other behaviors that the shaman uses to connect himself and, by extension and through reporting on what he finds or learns, his community to the deeper spiritual or cosmic realms. It has been observed that...

“Moses was high on drugs: Israeli researcher” The world wide media interest in Benny Shanon's paper about Moses and entheogens, is encouraging us to take a good and hard look at the roots of religions and the notion that they were based on fertility cults, and shamanic practices such as Entheogens (or hallucinogenic) plants as a source of spiritual communion with the universal consciousness, or the mind of God. John Allegro, in his book “The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross: A Study of the Nature and Origins of Christianity within the Fertility Cults of the Ancient Near East”, postulated through the etymology of words and relates how the development of language indicated that the roots of the...

Ayahuasca - Plant Spirit Medicine of the Amazon "We are not talking about passive agents of transformation, we are talking about an intelligence, a consciousness, an alive and other mind, a spirit, which of course we have no place in our society. Nature is alive and is talking to us. This is not a metaphor." Terrance McKenna From earliest times it has been recognized that knowledge goes beyond sensory awareness or the rational way of understanding the world. Entering into a communion with the Plant consciousness or Spirit is a way that can take us directly to an experience that can show us that there is no such thing as an inanimate object. Everything in the universe is alive, possesses an awareness...

Reiki is an ancient method of healing that has been used for centuries. Since it’s reintroduction in the early 20th century, various methods have been produced and one of them although considered by some as radical is called Feiki Reiki. But why is it a radical form of Reiki? This is because the technique not only recharges your energy but it also awakens your senses. This makes you realize that nothing lies outside ourselves when the power and everything else we need is within us. We have to tap that power to become better individuals and that can only be done by learning from a master and then improving who we are. Regardless of what you choose to use, the purpose of Reiki is still the same...

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched--they must be felt with the heart." ~ Helen Keller Why do we have so many metaphors for the heart? We tell each other to "follow your heart" and we talk about people who are "hard-hearted" or someone with a "heart of gold." We listen with an "open heart" and when someone hurts us we get a "broken heart." When we get deep into a topic we "get to the heart of the matter." I believe that we use so many metaphors about the heart because we inherently know that it is at the core of our being. Caroline Myss, author of Energy Anatomy, calls the heart the "central powerhouse of the human energy system." Of the seven major...

Teething is a milestone for all babies. As a parent you see your Childs face change forever as they get their first little white pearls. As cute as it is, often the irritability and discomfort associated with teething makes most parents very uncomfortable. As a Dentist I have always tried to comfort Parents by assuring them that Teething is a very natural phenomenon and while it seems that the little ones are truly suffering, really teething is not that bad. The next question most parents have is whether they should use some old home remedies to comfort their children or stick to the more standard Norms and modern medications. I think as a Mom we should trust our instincts and do what we think is...

We all experience stress in our daily life. It is also quite common to have been prescribed a tranquilizer, to help you cope with stress. Juggling between a load of tasks and things to worry about has become a daily routine in all our lives. But amidst this stressful life that you're living, did you ever stop to think how you need to take better care of yourself? Did you ever stop to think about taking charge? Have you ever tried to destress? Stress is not always a bad thing! Stress is a natural reaction- a little of bit of stress is what keeps us going. This type of "acute" or "good" stress is what brings out the best in us in a project, or when faced with a deadline or challenge. It is also what...

Self-love. Almost makes you feel uncomfortable just reading the phrase, doesn't it? We know we're supposed to be kind and compassionate to others. But loving yourself? Isn't that ... well, somehow a little selfish? It is. And that's exactly the point. There are times when "selfish" can be very, very good. When you're in the midst of a healing crisis ... trying like the dickens to work your way out of it and back to full, radiant health and wellness ... that's one of the times. One of my regular blog readers recently sent in a great question: "How can there be so many of us that don't embrace self love?" What I got out of her question was a request for some suggestions on making self-love more...

On your journey through life your Unconscious collects social shoulds. As a child these go into your thinking processes automatically. By adulthood you have developed an anti-should-shield called your 'sense of self'. You now begin resisting new information as it arrives in your Conscious and start to assess whether or not this new material is right for you by comparing it to what you already know. Trouble is, by this time what you already know has been built using shoulds implanted and assessed as being right for you by other people. While doing their implanting those other people wanted you to do what was right for them rather than what was right for you - even though they did so believing they...

Before I get on with this article (my final one for awhile), I'd like to take a moment to apologize to you for something. These articles are in electronic format and can be easily sent to other people (in fact, I encourage you to send it to your friends). Because of this, I had to hold back on what I offer in them. Here's why... Using Magick energy to "make things happen", is very different from having the secrets to control it. The art of Witchcraft is one that should be approached carefully. You should never pick up a book on Witchcraft, read the spells - and then try to do them. You need to SEE somebody doing - not only the spells - but the important techniques of connecting with, and...

Each of us have soul wounds that we came here to heal. These are our most difficult and painful inner issues. We have the choice to see our soul wounds as a curse or as a challenging opportunity for transformation. These wounds developed in our psyches as children when our parents or caretakers were unable to be as supportive, nurturing and attentive as we needed. Because we saw our caretakers as omnipotent, we decided whatever was problematic for us in our relationship with them must be our fault or due to our inadequacy. In addition to the healthy reflection we received from our caretakers, we also got messages about ourselves which were not beneficial to our growth. To our detriment, we believed...

For the past several years I have struggled with getting (and staying) fit. Ok I admit it, the struggle has been longer than just a few years. As a kid, instead of playing nicely with the girls, I fought with the neighborhood boys. I attempted to join their fun and received new scars weekly in bloody games of soccer. I was always the last one picked to play on the kickball team and, as the catcher of my 5th grade softball team, I pummeled the pitcher in the head with a fast ball. Uncoordinated in team sports, I succeeded only at baton twirling which was fun but I barely broke a sweat. After failures in group sports I thought I'd try running so, a few years ago I attempted to train for a half...

Just as a growing plant turns toward the sun, we are nourished by the sources of light. They are our teachers and our guides; they are intelligent and alive, and their words nourish our souls. The guidance we find within is more relevant to us than any teaching from a book, so it is to our benefit to get in touch with our own light. The meditation at the end of this chapter will help you do that; but first let's look at the idea of growth and what motivates us to grow. The path to growth is never free of obstacles; yet it is in overcoming the hurdles that we achieve our growth. The ego would have us believe that achieving growth means never having to suffer any more. This might be true in the...

If you have been reading Eckhardt Tolle's books, The Power of Now, and The New Earth, you know that the most important task for humanity right now is to expand consciousness. If you got excited by Eckhardt's books it means you are already in the process of "waking up." The more consciously aware you are, the more JOY and the less struggle you can experience in your everyday life. There are 3 old paradigm values that present major obstacles to becoming conscious: - duty: allowing someone else's idea or belief about what you must do to be "worthy" be a guiding principle in your life - obligation: allowing someone else to determine what you "owe" them in order to be acceptable - commitment: ignoring...

I love this book. Sometimes books just seem to fall into our hands as we most need a message. That happened to me with this one. Not accepting traditional religions or any organized group or one set of beliefs/rituals, I prayed/meditated/communed with my Creator in any number of unorganized ways. While this book didn't make me want to change any of that, it provided a framework for me to be more comfortable with my current choices and opened up new possibilities. First, Dr. Ellerby defines Spirituality, and I love his line, "We are spiritual beings having a human experience - not the other way around" (38). This is one of my favorite new lines. He also explains that "Spirituality isn't a quick fix...

Out of the womb of the mighty comes a proud testament to faith in God and devotion to the purposes of light. This testament comes not with the force of might but with the force of love guiding the way, leading those who seek to serve the One Creator of All to form a necklace of jeweled lights around the world, each one enhancing the brightness of every other. For it is the time of awakening of the soul, and each soul that has contained the light within itself and been faithful to that light shall now be given the means to radiate and bless the earth around itself, creating an illumination and glow that shall never diminish. All who have waited through this time are to be praised for their devotion...

There comes a point in our spiritual life when we ask the question: why are we here on earth? We are here on this planet for two reasons. The first reason is that each one of us has our own Divine mission and reason for being here on earth. Secondly, people exist on this earth so that they can channel, share love, peace, and harmony with others. Whatever it is that we do, we have to do it with love, peace, and harmony. If we do not follow the path of love, peace and harmony in leading a spiritual life, then the reason for our existence is defeated. There are lessons that we need to learn during our existence here on earth. The thing is, we have to learn how to rise to the occasion, deal with the...

"I prayed until my mouth was dry." From about ten o'clock to six in the morning this man in Strath prayed until the risen living Jesus satisfied him! One group in the north sat outside listening to the Word of God and when the snow came on it just covered them. No one ran for shelter, because there was no shelter to which they could run. These were tough times for very ordinary and yet extraordinary believers in Jesus Christ. Not often do we hear of that type of intensity today. Do you want a book to whet your spiritual appetite? Then go for this very readable and accurate and historical volume. Police sergeant Steve Taylor's compact and concise style of writing recounts the various spiritual...

Witchcraft or witchery as some people know it better by, first came around a few hundred years ago and is still live and well to this very day. The word "witch" means many different things to many different people. However, a witch isn't exactly the ones we see on TV flying around on broom sticks like in the Wizard Of Oz. Of course this whole broom business may have or may have not been real, but I don't think anyone is even around now to prove that it is or isn't. Just the same there are people who do practice magic(k)s of sorts and though a lot of people might find this sort of stuff "creepy" or "demonic" it doesn't all have to be unless you choose for it to be! I checked a few of these "chants...
