A strong symbol for immortality and rebirth. As the tree ages the trunk becomes hollow inside and a new tree sprouts from within. Yew is the World Tree, the Tree of Life, also called Yggdrasil in Norse mythology (Yggdrasil translates as 'needle ash' so it is often confused with the Ash tree). Yew assists in Otherworld journeys and increases our awareness and openness to communication with the Otherworld. Connected to the angelic realm and multidimensional beings, yew raises our awareness and receptivity to them. Yew is often found growing in graveyards throughout the U.K b...

"Cat Spells" by Claire Nahmad Book Review

Image
"Cat Spells: Cat Magic Through the Ages" by Claire Nahmad Illustrations by Susan Robertson This is a delightful little book all about cat magick. In this book you will find various spells inspired by cats. Spells for luck, love, healing, and so on. The spells are simple and easy to follow. The book touches on a bit of feline folklore. Since early civilisations cats have been revered and worshipped by many cultures. They can bestow honour and good luck. The book lists some names and their meanings in case you want to give your cat familiar a magickal name. The illustrations accompany this book perfectly and is half the reason why I like the book so much. This book is a reminder of the intuitiveness and unique character every cat holds. They have the ability to see spirits and faeries. At times they seem to be attuned to a higher level of spiritual awareness. Using this book can help you connect with your cat and take inspiration from these magical little creatures.
