Witchy songs are a genre of music that encompasses a variety of styles and themes, all related to witches, magic, and the supernatural. These songs often feature enchanting melodies, mystical lyrics, and a sense of witchcraft and intrigue. Many witchy songs draw inspiration from folklore, mythology, and witchcraft practices, exploring themes of empowerment, femininity, and the mystical unknown. One notable example of a witchy song is "Black Magic Woman" by Fleetwood Mac, which was later popularized by Santana. This song features a hypnotic rhythm and sultry vocals, capturing the essence of a powerful, mysterious woman. Another classic witchy song is "I Put a Spell on You" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, which is a hauntingly seductive anthem with its soulful crooning and captivating lyrics.

Witchy Sex Magic From Ancient Egypt
December 19, 2023
New to Sex Magic?
Let’s explore… but before we do, please be advised that this article is in no way promoting sex for those who are new to it, virginal, celibate, or asexual. It is meant only as a supportive introduction to the subject and advises each practitioner to continue with pure heart and ethics in tow!
Sex magic is a form of deep spiritual practice that uses sexual energy to manifest one's intentions and desires. It has been practiced in many cultures, including Ancient Egypt, where sex magic rituals were used for everything from fertility rites to protection spells. Most of us practitioners believe that sex is an act of divine union between two beings. The witchier the better! Egyptian practitioners would often use symbols and gestures associated with sacred sexuality such as Tantric yoga poses or chanting mantras in order to raise their sexual energy and direct it towards a desired outcome, which some associate with the release of DMT in the brain. Ancient Egyptian priestesses also utilized plants, herbs, oils, incense, crystals, and other magical objects during their rituals to help them focus their intent on the divine. Through this practice they believed that by connecting with the higher power of creation they had access to more powerful forms of manifestation than human will alone could provide.
December 2023 Horoscope: Let your curious self roam beyond!
November 29, 2023
As the year draws to a close, it's hard to believe that December 2023 is already upon us and your horoscopes for the month are ready!
Take a moment to congratulate yourself for making it this far and treat yourself to something special - be it a luxurious indulgence or a new addition to your skincare routine.
Time seems to have slipped away from us, and we can attribute this to Saturn's voyage into Pisces earlier in the year.
On the 13th of this month, Mercury retrograde will revisit Capricorn, potentially reintroducing themes that were previously brought to light at the start of the year. It's time to embrace the work hard, play harder mentality and take in some of Capricorn's shine.
December is a busy and exciting month in the cosmic sense, pushing us to close old chapters and create a visionary myth for the upcoming year.

Modern Music in Magickal Practices 🎵
From MeganB: “While I love me some witchy music, I can’t help but realize that modern music has just as much of a place in my practice. Don’t get me wrong, witchy music is great, but I think a lot of people do themselves a disservice by not including modern music in their practice. There are so many good songs out there that can be turned into chants, spells, or even ways to raise energy.”

I wouldn't recommend this album to anyone looking for quality music.
