The term "night white witch" refers to a practitioner of witchcraft who works with the energies of the night, utilizing her powers for the greater good. Unlike a traditional witch who is often associated with darkness and malevolence, a night white witch uses her abilities to bring positivity and light into the world. Night white witches are often portrayed as healers, using their knowledge of herbs, crystals, and other natural remedies to help others. They believe in the power of love and compassion, and strive to use their magic to bring harmony and balance to those around them. One of the main aspects of being a night white witch is the connection to the moon and its phases. The moon is seen as a symbol of feminine power and intuition, and many night white witches use the cycles of the moon as a guide for their magical workings.
I STILL am not certain what exactly compelled me to say yes to this course. But it was instinct, and it was right. I wish I could somehow download your videos to keep and rewatch when I’m feeling in need of a friend. Every moment of this course has inspired me and comforted me and lit a fire in my heart. – Tara
Meaning can only come from within from the way we see the world, informed by wisdom, compassion, understanding, love and trust, writes Eknath Eswaren. We left the house and made our way toward downtown Metuchen, the tiny town in central Jersey where I grew up, to a little luncheonette called the Corner Confectionery.
The moon is seen as a symbol of feminine power and intuition, and many night white witches use the cycles of the moon as a guide for their magical workings. They may perform rituals during the new moon to set intentions and manifest their desires, or during the full moon to amplify their spells. Night white witches also often work with divination tools such as tarot cards or runes to gain insights and guidance.
From Magic and Myth-Work to Care and Repair (Paperback)
From Magic and Myth-Work to Care and Repair is a two-part book, broadly concerned with the "fiction of the self" and with practices and explorations beyond that fiction. Each part approaches this thematic from a different angle. The first part, "On Magic and Myth-Work," deals with practices of magic (although not always named as such) and with contemporary myth-making in relation to landscape, performance and writing. The second part "On Care and Repair" gathers together essays that are more personal, but that also look to various technologies (or devices) of self-care alongside ideas of collaboration and the collective. Crucial in this exploration is our relation to one another and to the larger non-human world. All the essays were prompted by teaching students—undergraduates and postgraduates—during the initial Covid years, specifically on two courses at Goldsmiths: Occulture and Art Writing to Theory Fiction. The important themes in both these courses were all constellated around magic, myth-work, care, and repair, especially as these intersected with questions of agency and self-narration. On those courses—and throughout the book—these themes are connected to larger issues of historical trauma, neoliberalism, and ecological crisis. The essays reference many other texts and fellow travelers, but also draw on the author’s own experiences within various art and theory worlds, as well as with performance art, magical practices, gaming and Buddhism.
