Four Ways Your Energy Animal Can Appear to You

Animals. We share our world with them, we have them as pets, and they can be a source of comfort and love. Animals can also be spiritual guides for us during times of need or to help us grow on our spiritual path. I call them energy animals because I work with energy and animal frequency, but they’re also known as totems, spirit animals, power animals, familiars, and animal spirit guides. All of these terms describe animals that guide, teach, and connect with you in order to deliver messages from the spiritual realm that you need to know at specific points in your life and on your path. Some appear for a short time, others are with us for a lifetime.

When an animal has a message for you, the energy surrounding the animal will feel different. It may feel as if the animal is staring you down, or you just intuitively know that there’s something unusual about the bird that keeps perching in trees near you, making you notice it. The animal will not give up until it gets your attention and delivers the information. If you’re not paying attention, things will start to happen that captures your awareness and makes you take notice. Your animal encounters may happen more often and with more intensity until finally you say, “What is going on?” That’s when you’ll be open to receiving the message that the animal is trying to deliver.

Book List from “Ivy’s Pentacles”

RECOMMENDED READING

Books to feed your mind and spirit!

These books are on a variety of subjects related to Wicca, Witchcraft, and Paganism. I have not read anywhere near all of them, so I warn you that most of these are not my personal recommendations. I thought that it would be better to simply compile the ones I’ve seen most recommended and let you choose the ones that sound good to you. I must let you know that I do not approve of any books that “sell” spells incorrectly, any books that try to make Wicca and Witchcraft seem all hip and trendy, any books that try to proselytize or advertise Wicca and Witchcraft as higher or better than other religions, or any books that have things in them that go against the Wiccan Rede. I *am* into easy introductions and I am not against books that cater to beginners. (I have met a lot of people who dislike “beginner” and “how-to” Wiccan or Witchcraft books because they apparently learned “the hard way” somehow, either through family traditions or through climbing the ranks in secret societies for years; they sometimes resent “secrets” being given away so easily, but I prefer knowledge to be shared.)

Here is the table of contents, though all books are listed on this page.Introductory Wiccan books* Introductory Pagan books* Intermediate Craft books* Advanced Craft books* Early books on Wicca/Paganism* The Goddess and Female Mysteries* The God and Male Mysteries* Pagan history* Rituals*Celebrations* Magick* Ceremonial magick & occult* Psychic studies* Mysticism and Meditation* Divination* Elemental Studies* Beauty & Healing* Herbalism* Shamanism* The Earth* The kitchen, home, and garden* Pagan parenting*Folklore* Mythology* Celtic studies* Pagans in other cultures* Reference* Science perspectives* Psychological perspectives* Community perspectives* Art and music perspectives* Sexuality* Non-Pagan points of view* For teens* Fiction for adults* Books for young children* Books for older children* Magazines* Web sites

If you have or do read any of these books please leave a short review in the comments section of this post for other witches/pagans. This may help a novice or advance witch or for that matter, even me find a good book that will help us learn something new or different way to do something. Remember we all learn from each other and that should never stop.

Instead of the Spell of the Day, We sort kinda switched thing up. We present you with your magickal goody for March 25

Ok, we switched things around instead of a spell of the day, we gave you a magickal goody of the day. We just could resist this oldie, it is a pair of dowsing or divining rods. They have been around for centuries but it seems they have lost their place in the Craft. Oh, and just don’t think they are dowsing for water either, dowsing rods can be very magickal.

 

We give you a little history on them and then how to make your own. I believe you will amazed at how magickal and useful they can be.

 

Enjoy!

The WOTC Spell of the Day for March 22 – A Spell to Strengthen Your Psychic Shield

Welcome to this episode of Spell of the Day for March 22nd. Today’s spell is a Spell to Strengthen Your Psychic Shield. Whether you are just starting out in the world of the Craft or a seasoned practitioner, you know how important it is to always shield yourself, your home, your property and basically anything you care about. Shielding offers you protection from the unknown and in the world of magick, you never know what is lurking around the corner.

 

This is a very simple spell, it can be casted by the newcomer to the Craft that feels somewhat threatened or just wants protection in the new world they are entering. Either way, we all need quick and simple shielding spells and this is definitely that and I should add a good one also.
