Faery Magick by Sirona Knight (reading challenge)

Faery Magick: Spells Potions and Lore from the earth spirits. By Sirona Knight.

This is quite a small book so it was quick to read, it was full of lovely stories and how to add Faery magick to just about any aspect of your craft. It also includes how to make your own Faery magical tools also. I will use some of the spells and crafts.

I intend to use some of the meditations and spells in this book and as I have quite an interest in Faerys anyway I know that I will find this book usefull as I get back into my routine. I give this book about 3 out of 5 its only so low because I feel that I would like more of it !

Things that I would like to use are

  • Brownie home spell 
  • plant the faery flowers in pots 
  • rose faery love blessing
  • musical faery wand
  • faery home basket
  • gardening with flower essences
  • faery garden picnic
  • faery dream pillow
  • faery glamoury bath
  • faery gold charm box
  • elf abundance spell
  • faery name spell
I will blog some of these! Depending on how well they work

The Hedge Witch's Way (reading challenge)

The Hedge Witch's Way: Magic spirituality for the lone spellcaster, by Rae Beth

" Here is a guide to magical spirituality of the Hedge Witch, which describes a path that is profound and yet simple- uncluttered by complex ritual, a matter of the heart"


 This for me was a lovely book to read, as it was really very clear and set out in small chunks so that you can put the book down and think about what has been written. It is jam packed with lovely prayers and it clearly shows a person how to write there own prayers once you have got the idea. Prayer is a simple but profound part of my own path reguardless of wether I call myself a Hedge Witch or not. It is hartfelt and covers the world tree and how we can use it. I think that at hart many would be able to identify with this book and its ideas as it goes through all the complecated ritual and long complex symbols and clutter that can become our spirituality and give a clear and basic steps that we can continue to build on year by year. It is the bringing of magic into the everyday life and making it sacred and conected to nature in a way the the writer has clearly managed to sucssed at doing.
