Triple Goddess Apothecary and Reiki

  Do you ever have a bad habit, unwanted energy, unwanted emotions (anger, sadness, ect), or even an unwanted person? Most of us have had something like this in our lives and using our magick can help remove anything unwanted in our lives. Our first line of defense is a banishing spell.  Banishing is just that, removing the obstacle whether it is a person or unwanted emotion, or energy that is negatively effecting our lives. As a witch we have the power to shift energy and create the life that we want and remove anything that we don't want or that no longer serves us. This is a form of healing magick to banish unwanted energies and to clear our body, mind, and spirt. Occasionally some of us may suffer from anxiety, feel anger, sadness, and frustration.

Tallow candles had a foul odor.  It was discovered that the Bayberry Shrub found on the Atlantic coast, has fruit like berries. The berries produce a greenish white colored waxlike substance.

  One question most of my beginning witchcraft students ask me is what books are good to read when just starting this spiritual pathway. There are so many amazing books out there by many spiritually strong occult practitioners. This was a hard list to narrow down I could have easily done a top 100. However, I limited it to six books to help determine your pathway and two books that I highly recommend that every witch should have in their practice. The six books I recommend for those new to the path, I am recommending to help you pick your path.  When I started my first teacher recommended several Wiccan books. I would have appreciated a few more book recommendations on other traditions. I picked just a few to get you started. They are listed in the order that I recommend reading them to help you get that jumpstart. Six Beginning Witchcraft Books 1. The Beginner's Guide to the Occult by Deborah Lipp If you are brand new exploring this spiritual path this is a great book to...
