In yesterday’s post, I gave a number of ways that you could modify an existing relationship to reduce its negative effects on your life.  I also pointed out the possibility that the negativity could be coming from you, and that at the very least, you are a co-conspirator in the creation of the negativity.  After [...]

Yesterday, we talked some about the importance of caring for your energy and that this included being careful of the company that you keep.  I provided a short list of some of the most common ways that you can tell if a relationship is putting off negative energy and also warned that, since relationships take [...]

One thing I believe is overlooked by many Witches just starting out (and some who have been at it for awhile, too!) is the necessity of psychic protection.  Once you become aware of and actively engaging with the Other Realms, taking care of your energy field is as necessary as choosing healthy food, getting exercise, [...]
