Being A Solitary Wytch (Witch).

Merrie Meet



When you are starting the journey into being a wytch (witch) there seems to be an incredible choice of routes or paths that are available to you.  

Such a vast range of choice can, to say the least, be confusing.  The choices that open to you become even more numerous if you choose to traverse an eclectic path into the craft.

15 Ways To Do Magick Every Day


Merrie  Meet.

This week I stumbled onto a post on Pinterest that posed the question “What is a witch?”

This question was then answered with a statement that read

“A witch is someone who practices witchcraft!”  The key word in this statement is, to my mind “practices”

Grounding and Centring

Merrie Meet

If you have ever read a book or website that talks about Wicca or Wiccan practices, it is likely that you will have seen instructions that say to ‘ground’ and ‘centre’ yourself.
This is something that is so common in many Pagan beliefs and magickal practice that many people take it for granted that it is something everyone understands and does.

A Special Announcement

Merrie Meet and welcome to this special post announcing the relaunch of a book written by another author friend of mine and fellow Pagan Catherine Green.  

Because we both hail from the Midlands and then moved into Cheshire Catherine and I share some common ground, not least of which is our Pagan belief and an interest in working with the Tarot.

Catherine and I have been friends for a number of years and on more than one occasion she has appeared as a guest on my programmes on the Cauldron FM radio station. 

*RELAUNCH!* The Vampire of Blackpool by Catherine Green

British paranormal romance author Catherine Green has taken a break from her Redcliffe novels series set in Cornwall, and has launched her brand new novel, The Vampire of Blackpool. A contemporary English Gothic story, it tells the tale of vampire Meredith Hanson, her love interest Samantha Morris, and her rival, the vampire hunter Ryan James. The novel is strictly for an adult audience, and Catherines vampires do not sparkle!





The vampire, the witch, and the hunter battle it out in a contemporary Gothic adventure in Northern England.

Meredith Hanson lives in Blackpool, the former Victorian holiday hotspot of Northern England. She masquerades as a reclusive author, feeding on the blood of unsuspecting tourists without remorse. Her life takes on new meaning when she meets a young witch in a local pub one evening. Despite Meredith’s cold demeanour, she finds herself oddly fascinated with Samantha Morris, and falls into an accidental relationship with the girl. It is at this time that a vampire hunter arrives in Blackpool. He is tough, he is determined, and his next target is an ancient vampire that has been spotted in the tourist town. He intends to bring her down and destroy her to save the lives of innocent humans. Will he succeed? Or will the experienced vampire seductress be the cause of his undoing?

The Vampire of Blackpool is available to order in paperback and eBook formats via Catherine’s website www.catherinegreenauthor.blogspot.com or you can find it in Amazon and other eBook stores.

About the Author

Author of British paranormal romance series The Redcliffe Novels, Catherine Green was raised on books from a young age, and has happy memories of Saturday mornings spent in her small local library, devouring the contents of the shelves. Catherine has always been fascinated by the supernatural world, and it feels natural for her to write about vampires, werewolves, witches and other mystical creatures in her contemporary stories.




If you signup to Catherine’s newsletter, she will send you a free copy of her Redcliffe short story, It’s Complicated, to introduce you to her fictional supernatural seaside town in Cornwall, England.

You can find Catherine in the following places:

ooooOOOOoooo

Hints and Tips for Urban and Kitchen Witches



Merrie Meet

After the heavy posts of the last 3 weeks, that would probably have required a lot of effort to get into the flow of each piece, I decided to come up with something that made for a little lighter reading.  So here are a few Hints & Tips for Urban and Kitchen Witches.

Broom Lore (Part 3)

Concluding our epic 3-parter on Broom Lore



Sometimes the broomstick was regarded as having power to repel witches; perhaps with the idea of turning their own magic against them. At any rate, a broomstick placed across the threshold of a house was supposed to keep witches out.
