Spiritual practice is an important part of self care and connection to divine.  The practice of witchcraft and magick have been part of human culture for millennia.  Making a wish and blowing out birthday candles is an act of witchcraft. This tradition came to us from the ancient Greeks in their celebration of the goddess Artemis. Artemis controlled the moon.  A round cake represented the moon and the candles represented the glow of the moon. The smoke from the blown out  candles carried wishes and prayers to the gods. Witchcraft, put simply, is saying a prayer or setting an intention accompanied by a ritual.

Witchcraft is not all about making wishes come true, but caring for the body, mind and soul. Reiki is considered by some to be a form of witchcraft. Reiki and energy work helps many free their bodies from physical and emotional pain. Reiki is a Japanese practice where “universal” energy is used to help aid physical and emotional ailments using the hands working with the body’s physiology.
