New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
It was a long time ago that I cast my first formal Wiccan circle. I felt the power of East, South, West, and North flow through me, and my soul sang. In the forty-plus years since then, I have cast thousands of circles. Each time, I have never failed to learn something new about this most basic of a witch's tools. Each quarter has lessons to teach to assist your personal growth. Every time you cast a circle, you can take more of your personal power by being open to the magick of each quarter. Casting a circle by calling the quarters is one of the first things Wiccans learn. It is how we create a sacred space for our magickal workings.

As comprehensive as we tried to make the book, though, I'm worried that we overlooked a crucial aspect of the Virgo archetype—namely, Virgo's ability to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. On paper, this might seem like a weird thing with which to concern myself. But it's something I think about a lot, especially since the online spaces I haunt are frequently rife with discussions of both astrology and zombies, and sometimes the impact one has on the other. For instance, I recently came across a TikTok video ranking the zodiac signs on ...
When you took general science classes in school, your teachers told you that when electricity goes through a wire, a field forms around that wire. Something similar happens in and around your body. You have electrical, magnetic, and life force energy flowing through your body. Of course, the body is much more complicated than a wire. It has legs and arms and all sorts of things including a head, so the field has many forms. Your energy field begins in the center of your body and radiates outward several feet from your physical body. Some people call it an aura, though it can be easier to simply refer to it as the energy field (people may be more comfortable with that). Within the energy ...
