Easy Glamour Magic: Enchanting Your Everyday
Last night, as I was going through my bedtime routine, I was horrified to discover that my carefully blended face oil had leaked in my toiletry bag. I guess this was the universe giving me a metaphorical kick up the backside, as this glamour magic post should have been done last week, but I was away. We all go through the process of cleansing our faces morning and night, so why not turn the mundane into some magic? Enchanted cleansers, toners, and moisturisers are not just skincare, they are a spell, or layers of spells. This, dear reader, is glamour magic: enchantment that begins in the everyday, yet ripples through…

Summer Solstice and Midsummer Magic
The History of the Summer Solstice As the sun reaches its zenith in the sky and the days stretch to their fullest, we find ourselves at the height of the wheel of the year: the Summer Solstice. Often called Litha in modern pagan traditions, the Summer Solstice will occur on 21stJune and marks the longest day and the shortest night, a time when the sun lingers in our lives a little longer and the natural world is buzzing with vibrant energy.

It’s Cinnamon Day
It’s the first of the month and witches everywhere will be blowing cinnamon through their front door, but why do this? Cinnamon has long been associated with abundance and prosperity, and the process of blowing cinnamon powder through the main entrance to your home (this does not need to be the front door if you rarely use it) symbolises you inviting abundance and prosperity into your home.

Not only does this amplify the cinnamon ritual, but helps me focus my…
