The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

After checking this book out from the library, after someone had suggested this book, I must say it is a great way to really unblock areas that seem to get you stuck. Like the depression I used to go through thinking that no one would love me or that if someone said something mean about me I believed it half the time. I took everything personal. This book shows how we have made these agreements with ourselves to where if we do something we were taught was bad, like witchcraft for instance, we would mentally beat ourselves up about it. I know many witches that have come from a type of Christian background that were part of not just the church but the family were very strict, had problems getting away from areas like that they ask themselves, am I doing the right thing?, am I going to hell if I am wrong?; these are the many things I am sure that many of you out there have gone through. I must say a good book to start with if you are thinking of being in witchcraft or if you just want to change your life, this is the book to take a look at.

This guy has three other books, one is The Mastery of Love, The Voice of Knowledge, and the The Four Agreements Companion book. The last one is supposed to be a type of workbook that you work the stuff in it on a separate notebook. I am looking forward to getting my hands on these. He also has them in Spanish and the three book set of The Four Agreements, The Mastery of Love and The Voice of Knowledge. I will review the other books and let you know but you should just check them out yourself. Even if you do not want to buy them just check your local library they might have or can order from other libraries that they are connected to.

Great Site for the Pagan

I discovered this site that is a great way to connect to fellow pagans of all kinds of flavors and beliefs. This site is great it has groups that you can join on it to learn things like crafts, spells, and making of tools. It has also groups to do with herbs. Check it out you won't be disapointed.

Pegasus Mysty

I have a little freind Mysty, this is her birth certificate I thought she would look lovely on here as a magickal friend. I She is from ponystars.com I am also going to put up my tiny video showing a few things. It is only still pictures because I do not have a video camera yet. Soon as I can find the thing I have no idea some how I misplaced it I will find it. http://www.ponystars.com/gothchick78

Shaman Staff

I created this staff with some instruction from the book "Witch Crafts" by Willow Polson. I had to adjust a bit because of the shape of the wood. I made it of a willow branch from a willow tree cut down in the area I lived some time ago. The rabbit fur was a gift from a cousin when I helped out at a boy scout camp and the leather was some scraps a friend let me have. The feathers are duck feathers from a park that had a load of ducks shedding probably at least enough to pack a pillow. Free feathers with no harm best way to get them. The horns for the staff are from the deer park in the Dells of Wisconsin I bought them there. The horns are cut off some of the males because they do not want the deers hurting each other by butting heads. This is pretty basic and the book has a lot of good projects. Including making your own god and goddess circlets. I also own a book that unfortunately is out of print so I don't know if you can find it but I got mine on E-bay so you might luck out. It is called, "Magical Needlework," by Dorothy Morrison. This one is more for those who like needlework like knitting, embroidery, sowing, crocheting and even those who like to quilt. All kinds of projects, they come with magical aspects, spells and ways to cleanse the materials and items used for your needlework.

Making a wand

I will show a couple of the wands I made for my boyfriend and for myself. They are pretty basic they came from trees that lost a good limb that fell from a tree in a windy storm the one with the black is my boyfriends and his was made from a rowan or ash tree behind the apartment. I just size it to where its the length of my inside elbow to my wrist and the thickness of my thumb. I painted it with colors I wanted to work with and runes. I carved carefully a hole on the ends to put crystals. The darker one has just a small crystal from a jewelry kit put in place with wax. It seems to work well for us.

Now the pentacle I have under it I made with buying just a clay pot bottom and then painted a pentacle and other wanted decorations for the different solstices. I got the idea of the pentacle from the book "Witch A Magickal Journey" by Fiona Horne. There is also a shaman staff that I am finishing up made of a willow branch from a fallen willow tree. I will take a picture and put it up later when finished. You can also add a dedication spell of your making to help make it work with your energies. I know it is easier to just buy one but by making it you can be more in tune with the energies, of course it does not hurt if a friend makes it also you can still dedicate it to work with you.

Enviroment Protection Magic

I apologize for not updating this too much because we have had some events and I was busy with some finals for my college. My son now in cub scouts makes me busy too. I have to say I was appalled when I found out that whaling was still going on, in most areas there is no need for whaling anymore used for their oil for various things and the bones for skirts. Japan is "research whaling" in a Whale sanctuary in the Australian waters. I say that the mother earth is not too happy along with the killing of mass of sharks for their fins for soup. The gentle Whale Shark is one of these victims. So I came up with an idea why not do a cross stitch or some sort of art project like a quilt with a magic to help with the fights the Australia and the other areas are trying to fight these evil deeds. I am not good at making paterns so how bout all of you out there come up with a pattern idea and a picture of the finished project I will pick the best one and put it up on the blog then I will come up with a spell with it to send that energy to help with this fight for the enviroment. I am having a little problem with the current email send me photos and such to my other email. crystalwolf78@yahoo.com
