Altar
An altar is a structure upon which offerings such as sacrifices are made for religious purposes. Altars are found at shrines, temples, churches and other places of worship. They are used particularly in Pagan, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Modern Paganism, and Witchcraft. Many historical faiths also made use of them, including Witchcraft, Roman, Greek, and Norse religion.
Witchcraft Altar
Witchcraft altars may be set up outside as well as indoors. Some Witchcraft dedicate an entire room to their practice while others use a temporary altar. A temporary altar can be any flat surface that can be moved easily such as a coffee table. More permanent altars are left up for the Wiccan to return to for their rites and rituals. Personal altars are those placed in a private bedroom, closet, or other space usually occupied by one person. They are used for practices of piety intended for one person.
A Witchcraft altar is a raised structure or place used for worship or prayer, upon which a Witchcraft practitioner places several symbolic and functional items for the purpose of worshiping the God and Goddess, casting spells, and/or saying chants and prayers. There are many types of altars Witchcraft may choose to use during ritual. Depending the rite they are performing, the material used for their altars may vary. This is because in many circles, different types of wood are believed to carry certain magical qualities. The altar is often considered a personal place where practitioners put their ritual items.
In the most basic form, an altar can be a single stone or a flickering candle that serves as a focal point for your meditation practice. If your spiritual practice is earth-based, your more formal altars may want to include a nod to each of the four directions. A more elaborate altar could include many elements that bring to focus a different energy that you would like to focus on. If you are creating an altar for group ritual, perhaps each member of the group brings an object to place on the altar to represent a facet of the work you are doing together. If you have a spiritual project that spans many days or sessions, you may want to bring a new object to the altar at the beginning of each session to refresh and deepen the practice.
Some Witchcraft arrange their altars to represent all four elements and directions. In the North the earth element is represented; in the east is air, in the south is fire, and in the west water. These elements can be represented in various ways, but generally do not vary in elemental and directional correspondences. When placing items on an altar or when a practice involving inviting the elements to be a part of the circle and lend their power a practitioner will move clockwise and when dismissing the elements they will move counter-clockwise.
Common items on a Witchcraft altar include athame, broom, candles, cauldron, chalice, incense, pentacle, wand, etc. Some of the items represent the Earth’s four elements, but elements may be represented more literally, with gems, salt, water, plant material, etc.

Coven
A coven is a group or gathering of Witch or Wizard. Lineaged Witchcraft is organised into covens of initiated Priests and Priestesses. Coven are autonomous and are generally headed by a High Priest and a High Priestess working in partnership, being a couple who have each been through their first, second, and third degrees of initiation. Occasionally the leaders of a coven are only second-degree initiates, in which case they come under the rule of the parent coven. Initiation and training of new Priesthood is most often performed within a coven environment, but this is not a necessity, and a few initiated Witchcraft are unaffiliated with any coven. Most covens would not admit members under the age of 18. They often do not advertise their existence, and when they do, do so through pagan magazines. Some organise courses and workshops through which prospective members can come along and be assessed.
A commonly quoted Witchcraft tradition holds that the ideal number of members for a coven is thirteen, though this is not held as a hard-and-fast rule. Indeed though the membership may be augmented by unaffiliated Witchcraft at “Open” rituals. That covens typically contained between five and ten initiates. They generally avoid mass recruitment due to the feasibility of finding spaces large enough to bring together greater numbers for rituals and because larger numbers inhibit the sense of intimacy and trust that covens utilise.
Initiation into a coven is traditionally preceded by an apprenticeship period of a year and a day. A course of study may be set during this period. In some covens a “Dedication” ceremony may be performed during this period, some time before the initiation proper, allowing the person to attend certain rituals on a probationary basis.
Lost Bearded White Brother is Witchcraft Solitary Practitioner also choose to study for a year and a day before their self-dedication to the religion.
With the rise of the Internet as a platform for collaborative discussion and media dissemination, it became popular for adherents and practitioners of Witchcraft to establish “Online Covens” which remotely teach tradition-specific Witchcraft to students in a similar method of education. However, because of potentially-unwieldy membership sizes, many online covens limit their memberships to anywhere between 10 and 100 students.

Yule (Winter Solstice)
It’s the holiday season, which is the time of year that we celebrate many Wizard and Witch favorite day. Put the Yule log on the fire, set the feast, and hang the mistletoe. Around December 21st, we gear up to celebrate Yule, also known as the Winter Solstice or Midwinter.
Throughout centuries and across cultures, we have gathered together in the darkest part of the season to hold festivals for light’s return. We’ll explore what Yule celebrates, and how to bring Winter Solstice blessings with magical, practical Yule traditions and ritual ideas.
Yule marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. This is when the sun begins, once again, to rise in the horizon, promising the start of a new seedtime; encouraging us to move forward and trust that spring will come. Yule is a way to celebrate rebirth.
Yule has been linked to the Old Norse word “Jól”. The word may have originally meant “Magic” or “Feast Of Entreaty”. It’s also perhaps the root of the English word “Jolly”.
In our heads we know the light will return. But in the darkness of Winter, can we be sure? Do our hearts believe what our heads tell us? Will the light keep its promises? We all have moments of darkness, when we don’t know how much deeper we will go before the light starts to return. The world has moments too, it understands us, and lives as we do.
Yule Traditions and Customs:
- Bonfires to light up the night.
- Crops and trees were cider poured on and around plants.
- Evergreen boughs, holly, and ivy decorated the home representing life, holly by the door invited good fortune into the home.
- Hanging mistletoe, considered a sacred and mystical plant by the Druids.
- The Yule log was burned through the night.
Symbols of Yule
- Herbs and Flowers: Bayberry, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, sage, evergreen, ivy, holly, laurel, mistletoe, oak, pine, yellow cedar, pine cones, frankincense, myrrh, wintergreen, apple leaf, and dried apple.
- Incense: Bayberry, pine, spruce, cedar, and cinnamon.
- Colors: Red, green, white, gold, and silver.
- Decorations: Holly, mistletoe, ivy, pine, pine cones, Yule Log, evergreen wreaths, and evergreen garlands.
- Foods: Pork, poultry, apples, cookies, cakes, nuts, wine, cider, and mulled cider.

Magic Spell Selection
Relationships and Love
The most important thing to remember in any type of relationship or love spell is that we cannot and will not cast spells to force certain people to love you against their wish. This goes against our code of ethics and event though the people who are the target of the spell would indeed fall in love with you, the end result would end up to be negative as they are forced into that relationship against their wish. Please remember that when you cast a negative spell, the results will be negative for you.
Prosperity and Money
In these days of extreme financial insecurity we need to get all the help we can to maintain our financial stability. Our line of powerful prosperity and money spell can help you out of a dark period, and insure your long term prosperity.
Serenity and Protection
We all feel the pressure of our hectic modern lives. Things seem to go too fast for us and we never have time to do everything we want to do. Often it seems like the entire faith of the world rest on our shoulders and that all the bad luck in the world is with us. Our serenity and prosperity spells will help you live a calm life with no big worries.
Removing a Curse that has been Placed on You
Though it used to happen very rarely, we now have seen more and more people being affected by curses placed on them or their loved ones. It seems that in these turbulent times more and more people who cannot go ahead in life using positive methods have recourse to unscrupulous providers of magic to place curses on others to help themselves go ahead in life or get revenge for things that normally are minor. We offer curse removal spells and protection spells so that once removed the curse does not return.
Other Types of Spells
For those occasions where your needs do not fall in a specific category, or when your needs are in several categories at the same time we can have an online consultation with you and prepare a custom spell to exactly cover your needs. Please contact up for this special service.

Magical Jewelry
Jewelry consists of small decorative items worn for personal adornment, such as brooches, rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. Jewelry may be attached to the body or the clothes, and the term is restricted to durable ornaments, excluding flowers for example. For many centuries metal, often combined with gemstones, has been the normal material for jewelry, but other materials such as shells and other plant materials may be used. The basic forms of jewelry vary between cultures but are often extremely long-lived; in European cultures the most common forms of jewelry listed above have persisted since ancient times, while other forms such as adornments for the nose or ankle, important in other cultures, are much less common. Historically, the most widespread influence on jewelry in terms of design and style have come from Asia.
Jewelry may be made from a wide range of materials. Gemstones and similar materials such as amber and coral, precious metals, beads, and shells have been widely used, and enamel has often been important. In most cultures jewelry can be understood as a status symbol, for its material properties, its patterns, or for meaningful symbols. Jewelry has been made to adorn nearly every body part, from hairpins to toe rings, and even genital jewelry. The patterns of wearing jewelry between the sexes, and by children and older people can vary greatly between cultures, but adult women have been the most consistent wearers of jewelry; in modern European culture the amount worn by adult males is relatively low compared with other cultures and other periods in European culture.
Form and Function
Humans have used jewelry for a number of different reasons:
- Functional, generally to fix clothing or hair in place.
- As a marker of social status and personal status, as with a wedding ring.
- As a signifier of some form of affiliation, whether ethnic, religious or social.
- To provide talismanic protection (in the form of amulets).
- As an artistic display.
- As a carrier or symbol of personal meaning such as love, mourning, a personal milestone or even luck.
- Superstition.
Wearing of amulets and devotional medals to provide protection or to ward off evil is common in some cultures. These may take the form of symbols (such as the ankh or celtic shield knot), stones, plants, animals, body parts, or glyphs. I design every piece intending to cast a spell over the customer and transport him to another world. By way of enchanting earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, and much more, I wish to provide expressions of my passion, making them accessible to everyone everywhere.
This pendant was created with the intention to open the crown allowing the life energy of the universe to charge our physical bodies. Magical Jewelry is amethyst opens the crown while clear quartz cleanses the energetical body. Wearing this pendant is advised when feeling drained. Great to have during meditation. This pendant was created with the intention to solidify the connection with intuition as a primary guide in our essential manifestation. Magical Jewelry is carnelian awakens the intuitive powers, allowing us to surrender to the unknown by facilitating a healthy blood flow. Wearing this pendant is advised during periods of automatism and stagnation.
The strongest arsenal of powers is it may be the best Magical Jewelry gemstone ever found to harbor one is psychic abilities. There are stories of people touching the stone for the first time and experiencing out of this world visions that have greatly contributed to their lives.

Grimoires
A grimoire, also known as a “Book Of Spells” or a “Spellbook” is a textbook of magic, typically including instructions on how to create magical objects like talismans and amulets, how to perform magical spells, charms and divination, and how to summon or invoke supernatural entities such as angels, spirits, deities, and demons. In many cases, the books themselves are believed to be imbued with magical powers, although in many cultures, other sacred texts that are not grimoires, such as the Bible, have been believed to have supernatural properties intrinsically. The only contents found in a grimoire would be information on spells, rituals, the preparation of magical tools, and lists of ingredients and their magical correspondences. In this manner, while all books on magic could be thought of as grimoires, not all magical books should be thought of as grimoires.
A Grimoire is, appropriately enough, a description of a set of magical symbols and how to combine them properly. Most of the texts linked below are descriptions of traditional European ritual magic, which is based on Judeo-Christianity. Even though this must not be confused with Neo-Paganism, many of the Neo-Pagan traditions use similar rituals and techniques, albeit with a different, usually Celtic, vocabulary. True grimoires contain elaborate rituals, many of which are echoed in modern Witchcraft rites. Sources for the information in the various Grimoires include Greek and Egyptian magical texts from 100-400 A.D. and Hebrew and Latin sources. Grimoires were used much more by sorcerers, wizards, and witches.
This likely had an influence upon books of magic, with the trend on known incantations switching from simple health and protection charms to more specific things his figure was associated with writing and magic and, therefore, of books on magic. This was often incorporated into the popular magic of the average people and, in particular who were professionally involved in magic:
- Relationships and love
- Prosperity and money
- Serenity and protection
- Means to avoid various inconveniences
- Cooking recipes
- Recipes for daily life, such as “a soap for faces”
- Means to improve agricultural efficiency
- Etc…

Magical Gemstone
A gemstone is a piece of mineral crystal which, in cut and polished form, is used to make jewelry or other adornments. However, certain rocks and occasionally organic materials that are not minerals are also used for jewelry and are therefore often considered to be gemstones as well. Most gemstones are hard, but some soft minerals are used in jewelry because of their luster or other physical properties that have aesthetic value. Rarity is another characteristic that lends value to a gemstone. Magical Crystals and Gemstones are often used in magical rituals and worn for their color and properties said to be possessed by that Crystals and Gemstones.
Gemstone is eternal and lasts for a lifetime. Each stone has a Gemstone to tell and beneficial properties that can enrich the lives of those who use them. Carry your intentions with you at all times. Wearing gemstones will bring awareness to your daily purpose, and you are more likely to get inspired to achieve it and lead a meaningful life. Select your favorable gemstone to influence your energy field in ways that you choose intentionally.
Our deep connection with the universe often involves relating ourselves to the elements with which we share that same universe. And of all the entities with which we share this singular planet, its stones and minerals have been used since time immemorial by kings, magicians, shamans, fortune tellers and other powerful people for their own purposes. And some are chosen simply for their own rarity and beauty.
Regardless of the metaphysical powers, we may attribute to these minerals, their energies, magical or psychic powers, their ritual or healing uses, they can still capture the imaginations as symbols, and as brilliant treasures cloaked in stories and myths. As but pieces of our planet, into them, we’ve deposited our purest fantasies and metaphors, and for this reason alone, of course, they can be called magical.
The Magic movement has introduced different gems to guide us in our unique journeys. Most of the stones are just too riveting to not be in the mainstream spotlight. Mainly named as the greatest psychic gemstone harmonizes all the different energies of our biological and spiritual makeup. It helps in the distribution of nutrients in our body while washing toxins away and healing digestive system disorders.
As for the emotional aspects, it is known to calm and soothe the heart. With its balancing energies, the wearer does not express or repress the emotion, but rather simply trust the Higher Will. Because it can pinpoint emotional patterns that had become bad habits, it can also filter volatile thoughts and replace it with a more balanced approach.
The wearer a flash of feeling and compassion to one’s self that ultimately brings inner happiness. Since it’s also linked to the feminine energies, it amplifies our intuitions. It is mostly used by women to enhance their psychic powers. As for men, the crystal makes them more in-sync with their feminine nature to bring an equilibrium to their emotional and rational sides.

Incenses
Incense is an aromatic biotic material that releases fragrant smoke when burned. The term is used for either the material or the aroma. Incense is used for aesthetic reasons, aromatherapy, meditation, and ceremony. Incense is composed of aromatic plant materials, often combined with essential oils.
Direct-burning incense is lit directly by a flame and then blown out; leaving a glowing ember that smolders and releases a smoky fragrance. Direct-burning incense is either a paste formed around a bamboo stick, or a paste that is extruded into a stick or cone shape.
Combustible bouquets were used by the ancient Egyptians, who employed incense in both pragmatic and mystical capacities. The purpose of the usage of incense stick varies; some human beings use it for the duration of meditation and rituals.
From the dawn of times, incense has always been widely used throughout the world as it represented an essential element for religious rituals and spiritual practices in general.
But spiritualism aside, the reason why incense is still now a big thing is that apparently it also has great beneficial effects: its smell can indeed significantly change the air and therefore the energy of our environment and for this reason, we might want to be extra careful when searching for the right one for our purposes.
From the dawn of times, incense has always been widely used throughout the world as it represented an essential element for religious rituals and spiritual practices in general.
This is by far the most common one: as we said, this type of incense can be directly ignited, and as soon as the flame is extinguished it generates a light smoke, diffusing a pleasant fragrance into the air. Each stick has a specific burning time that may vary according to its form and ingredients. As a general rule, a stick of incense should usually last between 50 and 90 minutes.
Direct Burning Incense
Moreover, some examples of direct burning incense include:
- Sticks
- Coil incense
- Incense cones
- Powders
Burning incense is not simply part of a millenary tradition, but it’s indeed a fantastic way to enrich, cleansing the air around us, gifting us with gentle, mystic notes of pure delight.

Samhain
Samhain is a Witchcraft religious festival originating from an ancient Celtic spiritual tradition. In modern times, Samhain is usually celebrated from October 31 to November 1 to welcome in the harvest and usher in “The Dark Half Of The Year”. Celebrants believe that the barriers between the physical world and the spirit world break down during Samhain, allowing more interaction between humans and denizens of the Otherworld.
Samhain is one of the major festivals of the Wheel of the Year, for many Witchcraft the most important festival of all. It is the third and final harvest festival of nuts and berries and a fire festival. All the harvest is in, all is complete, it is the end of the cycle of birth and growth, it is the point of death. The seeds of the harvest have fallen deep into the dark earth, they are unseen, dormant, and thus apparently lifeless.
Ancient Celts marked Samhain as the most significant of the four quarterly fire festivals, taking place at the midpoint between the Mabon and the Yule. During this time of year, hearth fires in family homes were left to burn out while the harvest was gathered. After the harvest work was complete, celebrants joined with High Priest to light a community fire using a wheel that would cause friction and spark flames. The wheel was considered a representation of the sun and used along with prayers. Cattle were sacrificed, and participants took a flame from the communal bonfire back to their home to relight the hearth.
The God, as Sun King is sacrificed back to the land with the seed until the Yule, and the Goddess, now as Crone, mourns Him until His rebirth at Yule. He travels the Underworld learning its wisdom. This is the time of the descent into darkness, of pre-conception, out of which new life, new ideas, will eventually emerge. Traditionally the veils between the worlds are at their thinnest now. Boundaries dissolve and all is laid bare. It is time to honour and offer hospitality to, our ancestors.
At Samhain the dark half of the year commences. It is a truly magical time. Death is always followed by rebirth and while this is the end of the old year, it is the beginning of the new year. For the Celts the day did not begin at dawn, it began at sunset, it began with darkness. Light is always born out of darkness, they are inseparable, interdependent, and necessary. Darkness is fertile with “All Potential”. With the beginning of this dark phase comes the opportunity to rest and reflect on the past and to dream of new beginnings. The seed now hidden in the earth will germinate in its season. Look for the seeds in yourself.
Honouring The Ancestors
Honouring your ancestors is a very special thing to do at this time and can be done in many simple ways. Think about all those departed souls from your life, both family and friends, children may wish to remember pets even, place photographs of them on your altar. Offer them your hospitality, welcome their presence into your home. At your Samhain festival, consider laying an extra place for them to join you at the table, cook and eat their favourite dishes, talk about them, remember them, bring them closer. You and your children can make an offering for departed pets by leaving some dog food outside on Halloween night, many night creatures appreciate this offering. Be careful what you put outside, we used to put out bread and milk.
