Mother Mystic's Musings

Anyone who has experienced excruciating pain will testify to the strength and power of it.  Pain has the ability to knock us to our knees and keep us confined to our beds for days.  Pain can overpower a person and render them immobile.  What you can do with your pain will surprise you. Many women [...]

People cross my path from time to time who wish to study rootwork or proclaim themselves to be rootworkers.  Some I take with a grain of salt, some I throw a handful of salt into their exiting footprints and others intrigue me.   The ones I see as genuine and sincere are those who never [...]

I get many inquiries for magickal and spiritual work but I take on only a few, select cases.  Many people are surprised when I turn down their request or redirect them to another worker or suggest they do the work themselves.  For some workers, the thought of turning down a client’s request for spellwork equates [...]

Everyone knows the phrase “once in a Blue Moon” but you rarely hear the term Black Moon. Black Moons are the appearance of a second New Moon in the same month and are just as rare as a Blue Moon. As with Blue Moons, Black Moons are a powerful time for performing magic of any [...]

So, you’ve been dumped…or you’ve done the dumping or maybe you’ve both come to the conclusion this just wasn’t the right time/person/wasn’t going to work.  You’re in pain.  You can’t sleep/eat/focus/breathe.  Your head wants to move on but your heart won’t let you.  What’s going on my friend isn’t just the end of a relationship, [...]

The use of candles to set the mood is pretty widespread. Go into any department or drug store and you’ll see plenty of scented candles enticing you to change your mood, enhance the atmosphere or take you somewhere else you’d rather be. Sounds like magic doesn’t it? The magical use of candles usually involves dressing [...]

I’ve loved candles all my life.  Big candles, small candles, church candles.  One of the few things I liked about going to church as a child was lighting candles.  Either we would stay after mass or, in special circumstances, go on a daily basis and light a candle in front of a particular saint to [...]

It’s the beginning of a New Year and today is the first New Moon.  Take advantage of this splendid opportunity to conjure some new things into your life!  Was last year unlucky or stagnant for you?  Take a nice cleansing bath and toss some of the bathwater out into a crossroads or towards the setting [...]

I see much discussion these days about occult/magic teachers and who is best/cheapest/easiest.  Unfortunately, most of the discussion is focused on internet teachers – those who own forums, offer online course, video courses, telecourses…rarely do I see anyone ever recommend a particular person whose workshop is not to be missed or a teacher who must [...]
