Ellen Dugan, the author of "Garden Witchery, " is the ideal guide
to show us how to bring the beauty of nature and its magickal
energies indoors. Using common household and outdoor items-such as
herbs, spices, dried flowers, plants, stones, and candles-she
offers a down-to-earth approach to creating an enchanted home.
From specialized spells and charms to kitchen conjuring and color
magick, this hands-on guide teaches Witches of all levels how to
strengthen a home's aura and energy. Readers will learn how to use
begonias and lilacs for protection, dispel bad vibes with salt and
lemon, perform tea leaf readings, bless the home with fruit, invite
the help of home faeries, perform houseplant magick, and create a
loving home for the whole family.
Keep it Simple A Simple is a philtre derived from a single herb and
was an important element among the natural resources of the
parish-pump witch, wise-women and cunning-folk. Simples are common
kitchen 'stuff' that have been handed down through generations of
country people in the form of family cures for everyday ailments.
Or as William Fernie wrote in his Herbal Simples (1897) The art of
Simpling is as old with us as our British hills. It aims at curing
common ailments with simple remedies culled from the soil, or got
from home resources near at hand. These were no fancy recipes with
magical formulae, and, often given as a tisane, the woman of the
household was able to use the remedies to treat common ailments
suffered by her family. And, this elementary form of domestic plant
medicine can be as simple as a cup of chamomile tea made from
flowers picked fresh from our own garden to aid sleep. This was the
most elementary way to use medicinal plants since no fancy recipes
or scientific acumen was needed. But this element of traditional
witchcraft has long been in the shadows ...
The greatest Witches of legend and folklore practiced their craft
through spirit conjuration and employing a familiar spirit. Now,
centuries later, this art, once the supposed proclivity of
ceremonial magicians, can be acquired and mastered by Modern
Witches using only the enhanced tools and methodologies that they
already possess. Without having to invest a lot of time, money, and
effort, the average Modern Witch can adopt certain practices and
techniques to safely and competently perform invocations,
evocations and travel the Spirit World like the Witches of legend.

Magick depends upon no abstract philosophies, and doing it requires
neither devotion to any god or demon nor knowledge of the True Keys
of the Mysteries. Instead it is a technique for recognising and
manipulating psychic energy, both within the psyche and outside it,
and for acquiring the mental skills we need to do this effectively.
If the details of this technique can seem involved, well, the
psyche is a complicated instrument, and psychic energy is slippery
stuff to deal with. We must learn to manage it within our psyches
and also to split it off so it can act independently to produce the
"meaningful coincidences" we require. Magick is a psychic
technology, a collection of observations about psychic energy and
the techniques for manipulating it."Shaping Formless Fire" presents
these with a simple elegance that contradicts the notion that
magick must remain a hidden art. There is psychic energy with us
and all around us. We use its power to make our worlds, and to
master it is to learn how to make the worlds we require. To see it
as merely the way we perceive the world is to put ourselves at its
mercy, and forfeit its power.
