    Get Started Learning Tarot

    February 7, 2023 - By 

    Michelle Lewis – The Blessings Butterfly I began my first steps along the witches path when I was very young. My earliest experiences with the supernatural happened well before age 10, and my interest in the occult, witchcraft, spirituality, and divination was piqued! I asked for spellbooks and crystal balls as Christmas presents, so…. yeah… learning to read tarot was just a matter of time. In this article, I will touch on some the basics for getting started learning the art of reading tarot. It’s important to note that these are guidelines, and you will naturally develop your own style…

    Beginners Guide to Creating a Magick Sigil

    February 7, 2023 - By 

    Michelle Lewis – The Blessings Butterfly While chatting recently with my Moon Witches coven, one of the members asked, “What’s a sigil?” After giving the most basic, time-crunched answer, I decided it would be more beneficial to write a simplified beginner’s guide about the art of creating sigils and share it with y’all. There are many different ways to create a sigil, this is definitely not the only method but it is one of the simplest. What’s a Sigil? Sigils in the simplest terms are symbols that are believed to have magickal power and are used for various purposes, such…

Last year was a 6 year, The Lovers, and I wrote that this card is not about a particular love interest in your life but…

    Dollar Store Witchcraft for Witches on a Budget

    November 23, 2022 - By 

    Written By TJ Pandora “Auntie PanPan” Teer, Guest Author Sometimes you just can’t make it to the local occult store at three o’clock in the morning. I have yet to create a 24 hour occult store vending machine…but I’m working on it. In the meantime we must learn the art of improvisation. Sometimes you just simply can not afford certain magickal items as well. When you have been in the craft for a long period of time, of course you have your favorite magick items…but not everyone has seventy dollars for a candle or two hundred dollars for a hand…

    LIGHTEN + BRIGHTEN YOUR LOAD

    October 19, 2022 - By 

    by Guest Author Tina Falk, Professional Feng Shui Educator and Chinese Astrologer “There’s a luggage limit to every passenger on a flight. The same rules apply to your life. You must eliminate some baggage before you can fly.”  ~Rosalind Johnson The thought of going through old baggage is enough to send anyone running for the hills. Does the old musty smell of the unknown take your breath away, set your heart in panic mode forcing you to promise that you’ll get to it another day?  Whether it’s old beliefs, ideals, traditions, values, work ethic, religious or political perspectives, even those things we…

    Manifesting With the October Full Moon

    October 7, 2022 - By 

    Michelle Lewis, The Blessings Butterfly October Full Hunter Moon The first full moon of the Fall is known as the Hunter Moon. It is also sometimes called the Blood Moon, not because of a lunar eclipse but because this moon rises before the sun has fully set… casting a reddish hue on Lady Luna as she rises into the evening sky.  You may have felt another surge of energy happening around you, if not within you, due to the collective energetic pushes around the world. The uprisings, the revolutions, the intense power-struggles are A LOT so if you’re feeling affected,…

    You are enough. You are worthy. There is no questioning this.

    October 1, 2022 - By 

    By Sarah Marie Liddle, Guest Author Radiance is sparked when we are connected to the divinity within and without. When we meet with this beautiful soul in the home of our body, we encounter the most wondrous mysteries in the natural world around us. There is a deep longing to find this place of oneness. We may seek out goals, visions, and pathways in the world to fulfill this deepest desire, yet it is not in the world that we come to understand deeply this connection with ourselves and the divine.  The ego will try and pry itself into your…

    Astrology for Introspection: Find your own patterns and make your own meaning

    September 22, 2022 - By 

    By Montine Rummel, Guest Author I am loving the cultural renaissance astrology seems to be having these last few years. Discussions of planetary positions has moved from being observations my friends in the occult world make to fine tune their craft, to seemingly everyone on social media having a hot take about the aspect du jour. Sadly, it doesn’t come without some pitfalls, like capitalism exploiting this popularity and slapping zodiac signs on anything to cash in, and the increase of wrong and misleading things being shared. Despite this, I’m loving the access people have to these ancient observations to…

    10 Fun & Festive Ways to Celebrate Fall Equinox

    September 18, 2022 - By 

    Michelle Lewis, The Blessings Butterfly Hello Fall! Up here in the Northern Hemisphere we officially welcome in the Fall season with this week’s Autumnal Equinox, on Thursday 9/22. How’s the weather where you are? It’s still hot & sunny in SoCal, though I can finally feel that little hint of crispness in the morning air now. Equinox translates from the Latin aequus nox to “equal night” and it is one of the two times each calendar year when there is an equal amount of day & night for both hemispheres… once in the Spring, and once in the Fall. This…

    Meeting Our Guides & Loved Ones

    September 1, 2022 - By 

    By Rose Dougherty, Guest Author Throughout our lives we are visited by spirits around us. Some who want to help while others who do not. We want to focus on connecting with guides that protect us. How can we tell the difference between the two? One of the most important is to protect ourselves and understand discernment. There are trickster spirits who pretend to be things they are not. You must learn to tell the difference. Energetic Cleansing It is good to cleanse yourself and the space before you get started. Some people like to use smoke or liquid sprays…
