Folgers And Backwoods

Probably the common question asked to me as a magic mentor. "Why didn't my spell work" No matter if you are new to art of spell casting or a well season professional, proper alignment of the mind, body, and soul, is the key. We often hear that intention is everything, but how does the saying go... the road to hell is paved in what??? I think you get my point. Intention is key, as it gives direction. But in order to see, create, and experience our desires we must not only achieve alignment with our desires, we must maintain it. Join me in this mornings episode of Folgers and Backwoods for a powerful conversation on spell cast, negating energy, and how to cast spells that really work.

So it's that time of year again parents. The kids are preparing to return to school and us parents are preparing to make sure that they have everything they need for the best year ever. Books, pens, new clothes and shoes, these are some of the common essentials of back to school prep. But what about the spiritual necessities? No matter your child's age or grade, school itself is a part of their life journey, and the experiences had during these years will help to shape who your child grows up to become. School age is more than just a period where we are open to learning and social development. It is also a time when most are spiritually ignorant, and unaware of the energies that they are absorbing or projecting. As adults many of us are presently healing from emotional traumas traced back to experiences had during our school days weather or not the trauma occurred in the school. Its a tender part of all our journey, where spirit and spiritual practices are not often considered. I think its time we change that....
