Your Guide
I am connected by Spirit to a time when magick was a part of everyday life. A time when we remembered the connectedness of all things, a time when the land and animals were all sacred and we walked the Earth in harmony with these energies. I feel a connection to the women who healed each other with potions, herbs, and energy through their Wyrrdings (spells). They were the witches and I am their sister, connected to all things magick.
