Some 17,000 years ago, a human ventured deep inside Lascaux Cave in what is modern-day France, and painted a therianthrope (a human-animal hybrid) that some observers believe is a crow-headed shaman. It's the earliest evidence we have of how long crows and their cousins the ravens, part of the family of birds known as corvids, have enchanted humankind. Crows and ravens are the most intelligent animals that most people will ever encounter, given that they are far more ubiquitous and "accessible" worldwide than those very smart apes and dolphins, and far more intelligent than dogs or cats. Renowned wildlife biologist John Marzluff calls corvids, "feathered apes." And, crows and ravens are ...

A spread is essentially a storyboard that allows the reader to sequentially follow a pattern that is designed to address a particular topic.

Not everyone has a Book of Shadows, but they can be a very useful tool for your Witchcraft practice. As you might already know, a couple of years ago I put out The Eclectic Witch's Book of Shadows, to provide a starting point for folks who didn't want to create their own book from scratch. It included most of the basics, like herbs, stones, candles, instructions for creating things like charm bags and magical oils, info on divination and various gods and goddesses, plus of course some invocations, spells, rituals, and even some recipes for yummy feast foods. It also had lots of blank space for each person to be able to add their own bits and pieces as they learned and grew as a witch. ...
