The Antidote to Terror is Love

Image
The antidote to terror is love . Values related to expansion and competition have left many human beings isolated from each other, country against country and group against group. It's as if we have forgotten we are all sharing the same planet and that what affects one can ripple outward to affect all. Many events are taking place on our planet at present that have the potential to generate harm well into the future. Rather than expansion and domination, the time has come to responsibly manage and lovingly care for what we already have. Fostering a set of loving, life affirming values helps us to remember the symbiotic nature of life on Earth. For example the widespread use of pesticides seems to be affecting our bee population. These creatures are vital in the continuation of the food supply on Earth. They are the perfect example of the symbiosis governing the conditions for life as we know it. The energy of  love  compels us to act in life affirming ways, nurturing life and

Introducing: The Love of the Universe

The moment I have been working toward for many years has finally arrived. At this early stage, ironically, I'm feeling a little lost for words. I'm sure the reality of my new situation will settle in gradually. Rather than the 'big bang' I had anticipated, my first book launch feels more like a rising hum.  The journey has just begun...  I wish to extend a  HUGE thank you to all of the readers of this blog. 💚   Your visits helped support my spirit through the long journey of writing a book. Leanne Margaret The Love of the Universe Initiating Loving Principles of Living Energy in a Creatively Evolving Universe. Are you experiencing the love of your life?  Today’s world seems to be falling out of love with itself. The warning signals of Mother Earth’s unease are hard to ignore. T he Love of the Universe  is a model of multi-dimensional human consciousness. It begins at the source – Dimension Zero, or womb of oceanic unconsciousness. We rise toward incre

Divine Timing? My Delayed Book Launch

April 2020 NOTE: I released my first book in October 2017. You can find it here . This post is supposed to be introducing my new book . But things haven't quite gone as planned. In fact the obstacles have been so relentless that I am wondering whether the universe is delaying my launch for a reason. First, as the book was printed and drying, I was copying the blurb into some promotional material AND I FOUND A TYPO. I jumped into the car and headed straight for the printer, which had just closed. I was horrified. It was the first paragraph of the back cover! It's amazing how these things get through when the words are read so many times. Fortunately the printer was able to perform a miracle quickly and efficiently. Relieved, I continued preparing for my launch, scheduled for the 1st November. Next was my website. I had been gradually learning and building a new website with my free 1 page website builder for months. I decided, just to be safe, to upgrade the website prior

Is it Halloween or Beltane?

Image
Halloween seems huge this year. Shop fronts are darker than ever with ghoulish displays of the festival of the dead. It's like Goth Christmas. Originally Halloween, also known as Samhain (pronounced 'sow-hain'), was a seasonal festival taking place in autumn to mark preparations for the winter. It was also a time to reflect on the past year and learn from events that had taken place. This time of year was also dedicated to people who had passed on. Ancestors and other spirits were more available for communication due to the 'thinning of the veil' between worlds that occurs at this time. It is a good time for meditation, psychic and mediumship work. For Witches it is new year, where seeds or goals are dedicated toward the new season's harvest or plan. These days Halloween means providing sugary treats to kids dressed up as the spirits of the dead. This is a modern version of the old Dumb Supper where food was prepared for the dead as well as the living. For

Casting Circle and Closing Doors

Image
Casting circle isn't just about majickal things. Before we attempt casting a majickal circle we need the skills to also create ordinary circles, or boundaries. Human energy can benefit from a little management. This means making clear decisions and boundaries to support our goals. Without direction our inner-creatures might have us play all day long. Also, if we share our living space with others, casting a majickal circle needs to involve a little more than walking a circle with intent; you will need to close some physical doors as well. Last week I started a reading project for which the deadline was today. I set the deadline myself, so it was flexible. But all of my other self-imposed deadlines had been missed so I really wanted to catch this one. It didn't seem to matter that I got distracted by some friends for the first few days because I still had all weekend, or so I thought. As the weekend arrived I crossed out my diary pages and set myself to work. I was already

Black Majick? Me? Are you Serious?

I just read a comment by a reader accusing me of teaching black majick. I have no idea where anyone could get such an idea from my writing. I clearly affirm my positive intent all the way through my work. I understand from working in this field for a long time that misunderstandings of such work are common. Let me make it clear: I work from love and only love. I work with the life affirming energy of the universe. Only evil people with harmful intent are capable of practising black magic. Majick is a neutral energy, like electricity. It is used for good or evil depending on the person using it. If anyone believes my work to be evil, it is because they haven't actually read it. I could write the same articles from a more practical cognitive behavioural therapy angle, but my readers have more fun with ritual and majick. So I will not be silenced. Blessed be in Love and Light. X Leanne Margaret.

Glamour Majick

Glamour majick is one of the most common forms of majick. Make-up, hairstyles, clothing and costumes are the main ingredients of glamour majick, all empowered by poise and attitude. You may recall the movie The Craft , where glamour majick is used to create results as extreme as a total change of hair colour and sudden skin cure. But in reality it's more like hair dye and lotion. But witchcraft can be more elaborate. When I attended witchcraft class we performed a group glamour majick ceremony. We all brought an item to charge with majickal intent. Many brought make-up, particularly lipstick. I brought a powder compact. There was only one man in the group. He performed the role of recipient as the women danced and flirted around him, dressed up to the nines and clutching our item of glamour. Using the item in every day life brought a little bit of the majick from that ceremony wherever needed. The key, like all majickal work, is the intent. The positive mental images and enco
