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.

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.

Witchcraft Morality
Witchcraft Morality is largely expressed in the Witchcraft Rule: “Do what you like so long as you harm none” – it is usually interpreted as a declaration of the freedom to act, along with the necessity of thinking through and taking responsibility for the consequences of one’s actions. “None” can apply to only the self, or it may include animals and / or plants, and so forth. In essence, the Rule can be fully understood as meaning that one should always follow their true will instead of trying to obtain simple wants and to ensure that following one’s will does not harm anyone or anything. In this light, the Rule can be seen as encouraging a Witchcraft to take personal responsibility for their actions.
The Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as you want to be treated. It is a maxim that is found in most religions and cultures. It can be considered an ethic of reciprocity in some religions, although different religions treat it differently.
The maxim may appear as a positive or negative injunction governing conduct:
- Treat others as you would like others to treat you (positive or directive form)
- Do not treat others in ways that you would not like to be treated (negative or prohibitive form)
- What you wish upon others, you wish upon yourself (empathetic or responsive form)
Another element of Witchcraft Morality is expressed in the Law of Threefold Return, which is understood to mean that whatever one does to another person or thing, benevolent or otherwise, returns with triple force. Opinions differ on whether the form taken by the return of harmful actions might include bad reputation, revenge by others, negative emotional states, an uneasy conscience, poor luck, malign magical influences, something resembling the Hindu concept of Karma, or some combination of some or all of these, and also on to what extent the number three should be interpreted poetically rather than literally.
A common belief amongst Witchcraft is that no magic, even of a beneficent nature, should be performed on any other person without that person’s direct informed consent. This stems from the understanding that it would interfere with that person’s free will and thus constitute “Harm”. “Love Spells” are very much frowned upon by the greater Witchcraft community for precisely this reason.
Charge of these being mirth, reverence, honour, humility, strength, beauty, power and compassion. Describing this Witchcraft as “A Joyous Religion”. It asserted that the “General Meeting Of All Members Of The Witchcraft”. At the former, magical rites were performed both for malevolent and benevolent ends. The concept of ethical reciprocity is not explicitly stated, but most Witchcraft interpret to imply the Golden Rule in the belief that the spirit of the Rule is to actively do good for one’s fellow humans as well as for oneself.

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.

Candle
A candle is a solid block of wax with an embedded ignitable wick that provides light, and in some cases, a fragrance. It can also be used to provide heat, or as a method of keeping time.
For a candle to burn, a heat source, commonly a naked flame, is used to light the candle’s wick, which melts and vaporizes a small amount of fuel the wax. Once vaporized, the fuel combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to ignite and form a constant flame. This flame provides sufficient heat to keep the candle burning via a self-sustaining chain of events: the heat of the flame melts the top of the mass of solid fuel, the liquefied fuel then moves upward through the wick via capillary action, the liquefied fuel finally vaporizes to burn within the candle’s flame.
As the mass of solid fuel is melted and consumed, the candle becomes shorter. Portions of the wick that are not emitting vaporized fuel are consumed in the flame. The incineration of the wick limits the exposed length of the wick, thus maintaining a constant burning temperature and rate of fuel consumption. In modern candles, the wick is constructed so that it curves over as it burns. This ensures that the end of the wick gets oxygen and is then consumed by fire, a self-trimming wick.
Magic Candle
In Witchcraft and related forms of the candle is frequently used on the altar to represent the presence of the God and Goddess, and in the four corners of a ritual circle to represent the presence of the four classical elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. When used in this manner, lighting and extinguishing the candle marks the opening and closing of the ritual. The candle is also frequently used for magical meditative purposes. Altar candles are traditionally thick tall candles or long tapers which are available in many colors. In Witchcraft, the candles that are used come in a variety of colors, depending on the nature of the ritual or custom at hand. Some Witchcraft may use red, green, blue, yellow and white or purple candles to represent the elements.
Using candles in magic based on Witchcraft beliefs is known as “Sympathetic Magic” in that it is believed the candle represents the outcome the person is wanting. It is a “Like Attracts Like” form of magical practice. For example, if a person is looking for a job or needs extra income a green candle would be used. For romance, a red candle would be used red is a universal color of love and hearts. There is an additional belief that the smoke from the candles will take the prayer requests, desires, or wishes up to the gods.
If you’re just starting to explore Witchcraft, you’ve gotta “Let It Burn”. Candles are a staple item in any magical tool kit. They’re used to amplify and release energy, and they can either be left unlit around your pad to promote positive vibes or used lit in rituals and spells.
Magic Candle is driven by the element of fire, which represents transformation. Fire changes everything it interacts with, whether it’s turning a love letter into ashes. This transformational energy is what you’re channeling in Magic Candle, encouraging and accelerating changes in your life.
The act of burning is believed to connect the physical world to the spiritual realm, but the other key element here is about using different candle colors. This is called color magic. Different colors store different types of energy, and this is what we’re trying to access when we burn a candle of that color. Burning candles is an easy way to access that color’s energy, but it’s not the only way.
