Mother Mystic's Musings

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 [...]

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 [...]

I attended and presented at the recent Traditional Folk Magic Festival held in Treme, New Orleans.  From the feedback I heard, it was a fantastic experience for all.  I presented two workshops of my own (Knotwork and Working with Ancestors) and sat in on 3 other workshops.  Getting to meet people you’ve only known online [...]

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 [...]

No matter what your spiritual or magical path, honoring your ancestors will only benefit you and help you to reach your goals in life.  The DNA of your ancestors is what you are made of and it is my belief that many of the memories that people call “past life” memories is actually DNA memory [...]

It seems one of the hardest things for people to do is to listen to the voice of spirit.  With technology blaring at us from all directions, folks have such a difficult time quieting their minds and letting spirit speak.  Often, I get clients who come for a reading hoping to hear from me what [...]

So, you’ve cast your net (and love spells), used a honey jar or lodestone or other spell to attract the perfect mate and voila! here they are!  Now what?  How do you ensure this develops into a lasting relationship?  First of all, you’ve got to gather some personal concerns…clothing, hair, pictures, handwriting, saved voice mails.

Many, many of my clients, both male and female, ask about LOVE.  Either they want to draw new love, save a relationship or just met someone and they’re sure it’s THE ONE.  There are hundreds, probably thousands of love spells on the web and in print but the best way to start is to LOVE [...]
