Winter Solstice is on December 21st and a very special time for a very special spell. Here is an extremely powerful Winter Solstice Spell which can be done by a single person without any spell ingredients of any kind; this Winter Solstice Spell can also be performed in a group or coven. You can do this Winter Solstice Spell indoors and outdoors; and the basic energy magic of this can also be evoked at any time of the year. One of my personal favourites, enjoy!

August 8th at 8pm is the World Energy Awareness Event. It is a global effort by energists around the world to work their magic at the energy levels to have more people awaken to the fact that there is energy, there is magic in the world, and that far from being Satanic in some bizarre way, it is not only completely natural and right, but also essential to learn, understand and study the energy worlds as a proper human being who lives life in accordance to the laws of the Universal Creative Order.

You can find out more about WEAE here: http://energy888.org and now, here are 3 Spells For The World to choose from: A Simple Wand Spell - Simple Pendulum Spell- Simple Fire Spell (also good for groups).

Summer Solstice for 2012 is on Wednesday, 20 June at 23.09. That's the moment when the sun stands still and listens - and a perfect moment for a special spell. Now in all magical workings from the dawn of time, the Sun has had a special place as the single most powerful physical existence in our lives. Sun magic, one might say, is therefore the most powerful form of magic if you want to make changes in the material world. Which is why Hitler adopted the Sun rune (aka the swastika) as the symbol for his party ... and material changes they made ...

Please Note: You can do this spell at any time the sun is shining, all year round!

In the natural magic calendar, the spring festival is aligned with the spring equinox, around March 21st, called Imbolc. It is the day in spring when the nights and days are the exact same length. The original "Easter" festival was related to Oestara, the goddess of dawn, Eos in Greek and the much older Babylonian Ishtar, the goddess of sex, war and fertility. The Christians liked to assimilate the existing festivals and now we have Easter, but the traditional magic of  giving each other eggs is bigger today than ever; and of course, we all know what bunnies are particularly well known for! Here are some ideas for energy magic spells for Easter, including the rather fabulous Easter Bunch or Osterstrauch tradition which is excellent for families and a great magic exercise for kids.

What better activity for the night of All Hallows Eve than to perform the traditional Ghost Dance?

Here is the Ghost Dance MP3 with instructions to do your own Ghost Dance for Halloween.

Folk in magic and especially beginners tend to obsess about following the tradition of doing certain types of work at certain beneficial times of the various natural cycles within which we exist. Unlike the more complex astrological, moon, year or day/month cycles, sun phases are actually far more basic, more powerful, and sun phases are easy to remember and very clearly natural.

A winter solstice meditation - just like a lucid dream, if you can make it real, is IS real, and real magic, at that.

Here is a special  Winter Solstice Meditation for you to enjoy that will bring you closer to your friends, guardians and angels and if you allow yourself to step inside, then you will really receive 12 beautiful gifts that will bring you joy, and more besides - enjoy!

Happy Solstice, everyone!!!

A magic wedding poem, that doubles as a magic love spell.

Two Dragons is the perfect poem for a pagan wedding ceremony such as handfasting.

We have a leap year this year and someone requested a Leap Year Spell for February 29th. This was an interesting experience and a good exercise in how to create magic spells and rituals in the first place, original spells that belong to you, that come from you and therefore, have a much better chance to work for you. So here's my leap year spell; you can use it or just use it for inspiration to create a leap year spell of your own.

This summer solstice "Dance of the Sun" ritual can be done in three ways - for one person in a full size space; for a group of people in a correspondingly larger space; and for a single person or group of people using a table top and representative avatar/s.

So there should be lots of summer solstice fun for everyone :-)

Comes with printable pdf and The Sun Dance mp3 for subscribers of Xtra Magic Ezine.

Here is something straight from my personal Book of Shadows - Valentine Water for potion making throughout the year and many other uses.

This is also a basic pattern you can use for capturing all manner of energies for use in potions and storing them for future use, so you don't have to wait for Valentine's day to come around again to use this idea.
