Greetings Magickal Readers,
I have missed you! But I have been busy pondering, teaching, mixing potions, mastering new spells and writing! Yes, writing a New Blog!!

She has two cats Balthasar and Abramelin and a mouse Sir Pip, all whom she understands fluently. They help her run the shop and the adventures that happen border on the magickal and the societal. Catsandra does her best to walk the fine line of being compassionate and understanding while try ..read more

Greetings My Witchy Readers,
Those that wander down the paths of words, find themselves taken to all sorts of places. From fields of reality, to meadows of fantasy to oceans of discovery and adventure! The written word has enchanted, enlightened, educated and entertained for thousands of years. I had taken a time of rest from this blog, to dedicate more time to study and teaching my students of Enchantments over the past couple of years. With the Pandemic I have had to 'work my magick' in varying degrees of creativity as well as ingenuity to teach effectively, yet also safely and ..read more

Greetings,
There are times when simply during day to day activities, going about ones day you will get a 'vision' of things to come. It can be a difficult to discern these from daydreams, hopes, desires, fears, worries and other intrusive personal thoughts. Are they really psychic visions?
My First Vision
I can remember the first time I was aware of this happening to me. I was about 13 years old, sitting on the front steps of my home and reading a book. I grew up in the country, surrounded by woods, fields, farms and nature all around. I was always lost in a book all t ..read more

Greetings,
I have worked with the Arch Angels in small ways over the years, but over the last couple of years of working with them, my work has become daily and more personal, most especially the Judaic angels. A brief synopsis if one is not familiar: the original intent of the angels is they are the intermediaries. The watchers. It was an ancient belief that the world was a layer of three worlds, and each layer was three layers. Without getting too deeply into another lecture about ancient philosophical spiritual beliefs, suffice to say the angels were the middle layer between ..read more

Ms. Faith
Greetings!
It's so nice to be back! I have so many interesting stories to share. The ones from history are ones I find fascinating and then some, like this following one, are stories that I personally have experienced.
People often ask if, as a witch, if we can do magick at will? Like a magician at a kid's party. The answer is normally no. Magickal manifestation normally takes time, work, focus, timing and a number of elements that when mixed together like a gourmet recipe, given time to bake, will manifest into the desired outcome you need.

Greetings My Witchy Readers, As many of you have taken notice of, I have set aside writing on this blog about a year and a half ago, in October of 2018. There are many reasons for this. Firstly, it started back in 2010 as a blog to introduce the lay person to the world of the witch. To introduce what we do and some of the behind the scenes peeks at our world. I have published as of this post over 500 discussions. I hope you take the time to read and re-read them. I have decided to work on perhaps another blog, maybe even a podcast and other really exciting projects that take up so much of my ..read more

There are a number of phenomenon that can be perceived as spiritual or mystical, and the next couple of discussions will cover a few. This one covers an ancient phenomenon which has become to be known as the "dropping of the crosses" which many Christians will claim to be a Christian phenomenon but it seems to cross all religious and spiritual paths, Historically it has been written that when ones wears a religious symbol such as a crucifix, or other religious pendant as a necklace around the neck, and it falls off, usually from the chain breaking, it is never considered coincidental.
