When it finally became obvious to me that what I was by name was a witch, there was an immediate sense of relief: like a missing piece of myself had been found and in this dreadfully dark wandering space where I had been wandering seemingly aimless for years, decades even: in a sense since I was about four years old. Suddenly, in that instant of comprehension, a flickering light appeared, and in that light...a path. It wasn’t Read More...

by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle What makes magick successful? Ultimately the practitioner.

by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle “Now that I have your attention…I don’t want to give it up.” These words were spoken to me by someone I’d just met at an event I was helping to organize. A friend introduced us, suggesting I might have helpful thoughts on a magickal problem, and I shared what I thought would help, but found that following statement interesting. I know it can be difficult to break the ice and Read More...
