Awaken the Witch Within

Witchcraft is not a belief system, but a personal spiritual practice that anyone can take part in. We all have the ability to discover the Divine within ourselves, in Spirit and in nature, and Witchcraft is a highly practical way to engage with this powerful magic. Phyllis explains the history of Witchcraft from ancient times to modern day and outlines what it truly means to be a Witch in today’s society. She also shares powerful practical exercises and meditations to help you start personally experiencing the divine magic within you and in the world around you. 

Magic changes everything, and the first thing it changes is you. It’s a gift and sacred practice that can help you to manifest your intentions, alter your consciousness at will and tune in to the interconnected energies flowing through all of life. In short, magic is what happens when you experience divinity. Phyllis explains the secret to real divine magic and teaches you to connect and co-create with the Sacred. You’ll discover the magical roots of ancient practices including meditation, chanting and breathing, and learn how to create magical shifts in every part of your life.

Phyllis shares her favorite practices to help you to forge a deeper connection with the Sacred and allow magic into your life for fulfillment, harmony and love. You’ll learn how to purify and prepare a space for magic with smudging, simple ways in which you can work with divination to interact with Spirit on a daily basis, and how to start shamanic journeying to develop a relationship with your personal power animal. These wonderful techniques will change the way you view reality, allow you to receive guidance and healing from Spirit, and open you up to a life filled with magic and blessings.

The natural world is an embodiment of divinity and through connecting with Nature you’re able to work with the magic that flows through it. Phyllis explains how to open yourself up to receive Nature’s wisdom, and how to work with aspects of natural world such as the elements to create magic for discovery, transformation and fulfillment. Everything is interconnected, and the magic that surrounds you in the natural world is also within you. Start to pay attention to the energy all around, and revitalize and rebalance your relationship with Nature, and the magic will start to flow.

When you cast circle, you’re opening a powerful space to hold the energy for making magic. You can cast circle alone or in a group and once open it’s a safe space for ceremony, healing, magic and communion. Phyllis guides you through the step-by-step process of casting circle and explains the powerful transformations that occur when you step into this sacred space. She also discusses how to create an altar as a focal point for magic and explains the different ways you can work with the sacred cycles of energy in the circle for transformation and empowerment.

There are diverse perspectives on deity in Witchcraft traditions, but many Witches follow the idea of the Goddess and God unified in life-generating oneness. The female deity has been absent for hundreds of years and Her return, along with the rising popularity of Witchcraft, signifies a return to balance and wholeness. Phyllis explains how you can embody and experience the Goddess and God within yourself, others and in the world around you. You can read Doreen Valiente’s The Charge of the Goddess invocation here.

The Sabbats are the Witchcraft calendar of sacred days around the Wheel of the Year. Around every six weeks, the Wheel of the Year turns to reveal another aspect of Nature’s divine essence and spiritual wisdom, reinforcing the message that, although the form may change, Spirit and energy are constant. Phyllis takes you through the Sabbats in detail, exploring how you can celebrate and work in harmony with the respective energies of each season. Once you’ve aligned with the energetic cycles of Nature throughout the year, your magic will become even more powerful than ever before.

When you cast a spell, you’re experiencing your connection to the Divine in everything and giving this energy shape and form. A spell is an expression of your own empowerment and faith in your ability to create a life of fulfillment, passion and purpose. Phyllis shares her favorite spells for prosperity, courage, success and manifestation, and invites you to create your own. She also explains the step-by-step process of spellcasting, from setting your intention, to raising your energy, to the affirmative actions you need to take to allow that magic to take root and flourish in your life.
