For many years, the supermarket has been the primary supplier for my magical needs. A Cart Full of Magic is a collation of years gathering and substituting energies. Don't get me wrong, I still love my angelica for protection, my lotus for luck, and my vervain for money, but there is nothing more rewarding than knowing that there are similar energies with the same properties that generate a need and bring a dream to fruition. In August 2016, I visited Llewellyn for the first time since the first White Spells: Magic for Love, Money, and Happiness came out in 2001. I met people for the first time that I'd been dealing with by correspondence and emailing for many years. The Llewellyn staff ...
"Reflections on Scott Cunningham" republished with permission. It was March 28th, 1993, when Scott Cunningham passed over into Summerland.

Perhaps their souls were crying out for spiritual fitness, a lifetime path to self-realization far different than the one they were on! I had been on a path to spiritual fitness since the age of twenty-one. My journey to spiritual fitness began during ...
Uranus, the planet of technology and social change, entered Taurus on March 6, 2019, where it will remain until July 7, 2025. Due to the amount of time it takes to transit one sign, Uranus is considered a "generational" planet, defining eras in our lives, with a heavy impact on both personal and global affairs. The Internet Grows UpSince 2011, techy Uranus was transiting Aries, the sign of the self—so it shouldn't be any surprise that the 2010s were the "selfie years." Now, with Uranus' move into practical, back-to-basics Taurus, all of a sudden, it seems everyone is talking about taking a vacation from social media and going offline for everything except email, in order to see ...
