“These words herein are from me to you, each picture, thought, and quote we imbue. This issue reflects the knowledge I have to share, use each spell, ritual, and work with care.” September brings longer nights, colder days, and an abundance of harvest. The leaves are browning and beginning to shed as the bite of autumn takes root. In this issue we cover common thresholds of power, the importance of purifying the home, how to find balance at Mabon, feature a tarot spread for Mabon, how to divine with candle wax, a guide to the dark goddesses, earth cord magick, and delicious magickal recipes. That’s not all! We also have three wonderful interviews with authors and creators Liz Worth, Rhianna of Good Morning Moon, and Rosalina of Shadowlight Haven. Please also note, we cannot guarantee any outcomes from the content of this magazine, but please don't give up on the magick within you!
Blessed be witches,
