Are Potions real?

I get daily emails from viewers asking about potions.  They want to know if such magick is real and if so how it works and of course how they can get started.  Now I know we all love Prof Snap. I was not even a fan of the movies but I still love Alan Rickman’s performance.  I may be biased though I adored him as an actor. What I think is fair to say we all love and know the image of beakers heating and bubbling on a table or a large cauldron of brew simering.  The power of the brew is a perfect science of arcane art just waiting to be cooked up.  

Well some of that is true making potions is indeed a lot like cooking and I personally consider it very much part of Kitchen Magick.  Though the perfection of the elements combined to have any hope of it working, lucky that part is not true.  So in response to these questions and emails I decided to do a video talking about real potions and how to make them and use them in your personal practice. If you would like to view it you can find it on my YouTube Channel here.

How To Summon A Deity or Entity

Awhile back I did a video on how to find and contact a deity or entity to work with and how to start building a working relationship with them. Since I did that video I have been getting more questions on how to summon an entity into the working area to get a stronger connection.

In response to this, I decided to do a video covering just that. I also decided to record the ritual I cover in the video to show how to do it since I have gotten requests to show ritual as many want a demo to get an idea of how to do them.

Magickal Uses of Mugwort

Today In our Urban Magick and Kitchen Witchcraft Series. I wanted to go over the magickal properties of one of my favorite herbs for journeywork and trance work Mugwort, In the video below we cover its uses and some ways to use it in your magickal practice.

Mugwort has been known to be harsh on the liver so if you have liver issues or if you are pregnant or lactating avoid taking mugwort internally such as tea form. ALWAYS consult with your doctor for the safety of use.

How to Make Wassail

With Yule on the way, I thought I would share a recipe that we love in my family for wassail. You might be wondering just what is wassail. Wassail is a strong alcoholic punch like drink that is commonly made with ale and apples. It was once a very common and important part of the Yule season. The holiday carol ‘A Wassailing We Come’ is in fact about this drink. In the past friends and neighbors would go wassailing what we might call caroling today. if you lessen to the modern carol you can hear the tradition of them going around singing in exchange for an offering of strong drink(wassail) and some coins for their purse. Honestly, I might have enjoyed caroling more if they were handing out alcohol lol. The idea was to bring good health and joy to all those you shared the wassail with. So enjoy the video below to learn more and make a batch of wassail for you and your family and be in good health and cheer. From our family to yours have a wonderful holiday and a very blessed Yule.

Introduction To Working With Odin

In this week’s video, we talk about Odin the Allfather of Norse Mythology. Odin is indeed a great entity to work with and The god I work with most in my personal practice. Most people I talk to see him as a god of battle or as the god who chooses the warriors who have fallen in battle to join him in Valhalla.

However, Odin is so much more then this he is a god of war and death sure but he is also a god of life, Poetry, magick, wisdom, knowledge, and some even say of travel. He is also a powerful shaman and a wonderful teacher of Norse shamanic practices.

Over the year Odin has been for me an amazing friend ally and teacher. I hope you enjoy the video below a simple and easy introduction to how you can start working with Odin today and how he can help you in mastering your path and life.
