THE PSYCHIC WORLD & THE IMPORTANCE OF ‘CLAIRS’
“Birth in the physical is death in the spiritual. Death in the physical is birth in the spiritual.”
― Edgar Cayce
SABBATH SERIES: LITHA/MIDSUMMER
“ Bend low again, night of summer stars. So near you are, sky of summer stars, So near, a long-arm man can pick off stars, Pick off what he wants in the sky bowl, So near you are, summer stars, So near, strumming, strumming, So lazy and hum-strumming.”
- Carl Sandburg 1878 –1967
BANEFUL MAGICK FOR VICTIMS OF ABUSE
“Rage is a very important element that many of us deny access to or deny exists (within). And, when one has been in a place where they feel trapped, and have been taken advantage of, this rage wants to build. Instead of having it affect the already affected body (due to abuse), It’s best to get this out…sending it to someone (abuser) with the intention that is deserving.”
-Bronté, The Witch
SABBATH SERIES: BELTANE
“…She’s the earth we belong to, The triple Goddess in mother form within you, She’s the one we honour, she’s the one we know, She’s the heart that beats within, She’s the heart that beats below
She created the land; renews and protects it see, Ignite her flame, but know it won’t tame, When it spreads, it’s wild and free…”
- I Embody the May Queen by Katie

Every sorceress is
A pragmatist at heart; nobody sees essence who can't
Face limitation. If I wanted only to hold you
I could hold you prisoner.”
- Louise Gluck
