Exemplore: Why Love Spells Have No Place in Authentic Witchcraft
BEV GJUL 4, 2023
Back in the late 1990s, I discovered that anyone could embrace witchcraft. You didn’t need any special powers or heritage; you only needed the willingness to learn and sometimes suspend logic. Modern witchcraft is a spiritual practice with roots in history and folklore. I loved it all, apart from one thing—the huge interest in love spells.

Inner Journey:
FINDING CONTENTMENT
“When the sun rises, I go to work. When the sun goes down, I take my rest. I dig the well from which I drink. I farm the soil which yields my food. I share creation. Kings can do no more.”
— Chinese proverb
Do you sense the peace and contentment that can come from an appreciation of one’s place in the cosmos?
How do we get there with the complexities and pressures of our current lifestyles? Perhaps it’s a matter of becoming aware of what we truly have as opposed to what our egos believe we need. If we look closely, we may find that our ego ‘needs’ are just desires.
When you find yourself longing for something, stop and ask, “What is missing from my life? Is it a need? What are the essential qualities of what I seek? How can I experience that now?”
“If we have not quiet in our minds, outward comfort will do no more for us than a golden slipper on a gouty foot.”
— John Bunyan
“Try to be like the turtle — at ease in your own shell.”
— Bill Copeland

Today’s Tarot: Friday: Temperance
Instinct and impulsive action will cause more trouble than they can solve today, so spend more time reasoning things out and being careful about what you say and do. Asking questions is a good idea. It will get you information you need, and show how thorough, bright, and capable you are. It might take a bit longer, but it will save time and effort in the end.
