Dragon Abundance Magic

A Wealthy Generous Cornucopia Dragon

Once upon a time, there was a good dragon.
It was you—you are a very good dragon.
You are such a gorgeous dragon.
You are love.
You are the cat’s pajamas.
You are everything.

Everything is everything, and you have everything in you—all the world’s joy, all the world’s energy, all the world’s money, all the world’s happiness, … and all the oranges.

You like oranges a lot. You have all the oranges. But you don’t have them instead of everyone having oranges.

Everyone can have all the oranges.

Your having them all helps everyone else have them all. There is such plenty, and you as a dragon with many treasures are the keeper of plenty for everyone.

You don’t do it selfishly. Dragons are known as greedy, but they’re not, generally speaking. They are generous. However, even the most generous souls can be selfish sometimes. So sometimes even dragons get greedy. Back to what I was saying: You don’t do it selfishly. And when we get selfish, we limit not only other people’s abundance but our own.

But you can have plenty.
You are The Keeper of Plenty.
You are The Keeper of the Cornucopia.
Where a cornucopia swirls around—that’s your tail!
The fat part of the Cornucopia—that’s your lovely belly.
You are a cornucopia with wings.
The opening of the cornucopia is a great big,
great big,
great big,
great big maw that takes in everything.
And after you do, you laugh—great big giggles,
great big happiness.

You are The Keeper of Plenty for all of creation.
So let yourself have great big things.
Let yourself be the cat’s pajamas.
Let yourself be everything
because everything is everything.
Let yourself have all joy, happiness, energy, plenty,
abundance,
and oranges.

Because you are the cornucopia. So mote it be.

Shamanic Stories, Magic, Simplicity, and Theories

Storytelling is an irreplaceable Shamanic tool for transformation.

I am thrilled to have written the above fairytale because it is a single brief story that nevertheless embodies some of my theories about dragons that I spent years developing.

The tale does not necessarily spell the theories out, and that is the point! Theory sometimes gets in the way of inner and outer change. Listening to or reading theory can shift one’s attention totally to the cognitive mind, thereby not giving the rest of one’s being a chance to participate in the magic at hand. Magic is not just in the mind, let alone only in the conscious mind; it happens in the cells, too. Reading the above wee fairytale is a way for your atoms to drink in draconian realities I’ve spent years discovering during trance and the theories I developed about those realities, so that you can embody those realities and theories, rather than just read about them.

Boiling my complex work down to something simple is joyful. After years of developing ideas and imagery on a given topic and nailing down detail after detail, I love that all the work and the complexities the work provided will often lead to a simple little thing like this shamanic story I channeled—an easily understood wee tale that holds great big theories and images.

Plus, when I create that simpler expression, more doors open for me: more wonderful experiences, theories, and dragon images come to me.

If you read the story again, remember it’s not about the cognitive mind. Don’t worry the tale like a dog gnawing on a bone; don’t try, e.g., to figure out what each image means or how you are “supposed to react.” Just read the way you might read a fairytale—for the pleasure of it, going along with its mood.

You might experience all sorts of changes immediately or in the weeks that follow. Anything from self-love to more money.

Note: I wrote this in 2020 if not earlier. I often am too busy to post a piece until long after I’ve written it. But then, when someone might need the post, I suddenly find the time. Synchronicity is the Goddess helping out.

A Magical Haven 2025

Escape to a Magical Haven
with Francesca De Grandis,
Fairy Witch elder
and best-selling author of Be a Goddess!

We’ll meet once a week
for four months,
starting Monday April 28.

Enroll by Wednesday April 23.

At our weekly meetings,
you enter a Magical Haven
where you are safe,
and your wild Pagan heart is free,
your power grows,
and the Goddess Diana, Queen of Fairies,
hand in hand with Lucifera, the Fairy King,
bless you with abundance,
freedom, justice, joy, protection,
and your other heritages as a child of these sweet Deities.

Most of the event will be easy. It is not a class, so you don’t have to learn spells and study a lot. This is a series of enchanted experiences: Once a week, I lead you in a rite. Each one will be a spell for magic to lovingly embrace you and carry you to your goals, goals like serenity, prosperity, sovereignty, victory, and healthy relationships.

So instead of your always having to work hard, magic will take care of you, helping manifest pivotal material and spiritual successes for you.

Magic is the living presence of the Goddess protecting us, empowering us, and carrying us to our most precious goals. She is all matter and motion, all substances and energy, and the connections between all substances and energy. She is the living spaces between particles of matter. She is the Tao. And all that Divine power will take good care of you during this new Fairy Witch gathering.

There will be practical spells, lyrical mysticism, experiential awareness of the Gods, and other Fairy enchantments. It won’t just be talk. It will be live magic.

You will become your myth and live your poem. Faerie tales do come true.

Definitions if you’re new to my work:
*Witchcraft and Shamanism are synonymous in my tradition. Ask me why if you want.
* Ditto spells, rituals, ceremonies, meditations, etc.
* All the magic I teach is Fey, whether described as such or not.

Attend by Phone. It’s Easy!

Simply call the event phone number to attend. The group meets by teleconference. No special technology needed.

Schedule

A Magical Haven occurs weekly on Mondays, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm Pacific time, for four months, starting Monday April 28 and continuing through Sept 1. Also reserve Sept 8, the usual time, for a makeup session in case I’m unavailable for a planned session.

It Is Fine if You Miss Some Sessions

If you need to miss some sessions, enroll anyway. Here’s why:

1) Perfect attendance isn’t always possible in real life.

2) You benefit from every meeting whether you’re at it or not, because I cast a spell for you during each meeting. More about that spell is below.

3) If you commit to something important, even if you don’t know how to accomplish it, the Gods make it work for you: You’ll be able to attend often enough.

Enrollment

Cost is $200 a month for four months. Your carrier might charge you for the calls.

To drop out, simply cancel your subscription, and no further payments are required. No refunds.

Enroll by Wednesday April 23.

Limited enrollment. Upon payment, your seat is reserved. If you don’t receive an email confirming payment within a few days, check your spam filter and spam mailbox. If the email isn’t there, or you want to discuss a scholarship, semi-scholarship, or trade, or you need additional information about the event, please call me at the number below. A few days before our first meeting, you receive an email with the event phone number and other details.

Three Master-of-the Arts Magic
Will Fuel Your Success

The enrollment price is a bargain. I’m charging less than I might. I do a lot to help your life be wonderful. Here are three Master-of-the Arts magics I bring to a Magical Haven:

1) Oral Tradition Faerie Rituals

I use master-level shamanic techniques to create powerful ceremonies that are safe for beginners and substantive enough for adepts.

My oral tradition allows luscious connectivity to the Goddess’ power so immense headway happens quickly. Fairy oral-tradition magic works only in small groups so enrollment will be limited.

2) I Cast Spells For Your Success

Each meeting, while we do a ritual together, I also silently cast a spell that sends you good luck, adds power to your efforts, and helps you achieve goals.

This spell adapts to meet your needs, e.g., money, soul healing, physical health, opportunities to express your wild heart, or relief from pressing spiritual challenges such as despair.

3) One-on-One Shamanic Support by Phone

I’m available if you have concerns to discuss privately. Or, if you have a question that would take too long to answer during a group ceremony, you can call.

4) Plus Magic Shamanic Art Empowers You

Instead of three, let’s have four Master-of-the Arts Magics. I was happily motivated to add a fourth. That is going overboard because these sessions would be incredibly powerful without this addition, but there can never be too much magic, joy, and wonder in life:

You receive seven gorgeous pieces of enchanted art. These are my original paintings. You receive digital versions, to which I have added Fairy power. When we meet, I will provide easy instructions on how to use this art during the meetings to add yet more magic.

Reviews

I am genuinely in a much more secure better-feeling place than I was in a matter of a couple of months. I went from high anxiety to a deep abiding feeling of peace, but without really understanding what happened LOL – It was like it was magic.—Adam Busch

WOW FDG!!! … My life really did change for the better. … What came to me has been big money and [work that let me] be of service.—Kathy Crabbe

I have always found it difficult to get into a trance state of healing, but you have (many times) helped me via telephone, which I would not have believed possible. You are a truly magical healer; your warm, calming voice and your wisdom have helped me thru some very difficult times.—Thomas Byrnes

I so want the good and increasingly oppressed hearts among us to take just a step—just one—onto the path you offer and into the presence of the way you hold yourself, Francesca. That path and your essence will enfold them with not just the promise of peace but the living presence of it, deep as the inner earth, vast as the starry heavens.—Rebecca

Cost for four months of rituals, transmissions, one-on-one support, and enchanted art: $200 a month.

Power Belongs to Everyone

The Fairy Gods stand with us against hierarchy. Anyone can visit the Magical Haven. The Fairy Gods are inclusive and bestow magnificent blessings on anyone who visits Them.

My shamanic methods have conquered challenges that should’ve killed me, and have freed me from some enormous inner and outer limits. They can do the same for you.

They give you spiritual and worldly power to have a happy life, no matter how large or complex your challenges and goals.

Think of the Magical Haven as a sanctuary hidden in Faerie realms—somewhat like a Goddess temple, Druid grove, and a Pagan monastery combined. There, the Universe lends us all Its power to fulfill our longings for love, money, health, serenity, self-love, and more.

It is a sanctuary and joy, even in the hardest times.

A mystical environment with magic that centers you into power, serenity, wisdom, and good luck, even when you’re in crisis or have trauma symptoms, might seem impossible. But my students will tell you I deliver.

Every visit to the Magical Haven is pure enchantment … literally. … You can interpret that sentence literally because I am using the word literally correctly.

Ritual moments between the stars nourish and uplift us like few things ever could.

Ecstatic contemplations in our Magical Haven help free us from subjugation and help us have the magical and worldly powers to live wild and free.

I support you in your life circumstances and frame of mind.

I’m offering A Magical Haven because there’s an especially great need for it now.

Grab this opportunity.

For Beginners and Adepts

The rituals work for beginners and adepts.

I facilitate our circles with easy-to-understand, step-by-step magical instructions.

I’ve never met anyone too successful materially, spiritually, or magically to not profit in major ways from my work.

I Am Devoted to My Students

My shamanic community work is dedicated to mentoring individuals who want
* spiritual growth
* beauty
* the ability to serve well
* prosperity
*joy
* and magic that is powerful enough to help reach these and other major life goals.

If that describes you or who you want to be, you will experience incomparable progress in this event.

Every day is new and offers miracles.

Magic and Systemic Oppression

Posted on by

Magic is the opposite of systemic oppression.

The Goddess is the opposite of oppression.

Magic is Her loving presence.

Magic is a Pagan Goddess Who helps me have freedom, abundance, and joy.

Magic is real.

So mote it be!

The Goddess is the opposite of oppression. Magic is Her loving presence. Magic is a *Pagan* Goddess Who creates my freedom, abundance, and joy. Magic is real. So mote it be!

I had fun that was also guerrilla Shamanism, radical action, guerrilla magic.

After I made the above graphic, I digitally put it six times on one page. Then I printed the page, cut it into six mini-flyers, and put them around town.

If you would like to do the same, request the mini-flyer page in the comment field below. That will show me your email address—which the public will not see unless you so desire—and I will send you the digital file to print.

Miscellaneous printing details that you can probably skip: If you don’t have a color printer, the page looks fine printed in black-and-white. The file is meant for 8 1/2 x 11 paper; if that size is less available where you live, let me know if it’s a problem. The file might not be my usual high-quality graphic. I struggled with reducing the graphic to fit six on a page and still maintain the quality. I don’t know what the problem was. I redid it a bunch of times so maybe it’s OK now. I can’t tell anymore; redoing the file over and over made me a bit visually numb. It is definitely a much better quality than the example on this page. And if it’s a less-than-fabulous print job, LOL, it’ll look grassroots … which it is!

I trust magic’s power because I trust the Goddess. My trust in Her is inseparable from trusting magic.

Hard as a Diamond

Hard as a Diamond

Note: Diamonds are remarkably hard. They are used in industry for grinding, drilling, and sawing. Diamonds can cut through concrete.

Diamond hard times hone me
into the sharpest, most sturdy weapon.

Diamond hard times shine,
revealing evil—all that blocks freedom.

Diamond hard times shine brilliant,
revealing all evil,
including my own,
that I may overcome this inner enemy.

Diamond hard times shine,
revealing my resistance to my freedom.

Diamond hard times
force me to choose hope.
Thus I sacrifice my excuses for inaction.

Diamond hard times force me to
either recognize even more of my duties to community and self
or sink into self-pity and despair.

Diamond hard times force me to fulfill my duties
or live in self-pitying despair.

Diamond hard times are strong enough
to grind down my resistance to beauty.

Above diamond hard times,
the sky arcs:
Searingly compassionate blues
—that only an Artist could create—
enfold the moment. A loving embrace.

Diamond hard times
force me to raise my gaze,
study the sky,
and ponder the ring of mountains
that circle me with their
sun-bleached grass and cloud-like crests.
Beauty fills my cells with joy,
revealing meaning and purpose.

Fairy Brigid Festival Ritual 2025

Fairy Brigid Festival Ritual 2025

The annual February 2 Christian Feast of the Purification, also known as Candlemas, is rooted in the older Pagan festival for Brid.

Brid is a Celtic Goddess known by many names. Among them are Brigit, Brigid, and Bride.

She is a Goddess of metal smithing, poetry, and healing. She also governs the hearth and husbandry.

There is a tradition of purification at Her festival. However, the prevalent Christian interpretation of the February 2 purification is not the Pagan vision of the purification at Brigit’s festival.

The usual Christian rite seems to foster a sense of innate dirtiness, an unworthiness of God’s love. Ugh!

Here is a Pagan purification performed at Brid’s festival: Brigit loves us exactly as we are. Her festival celebrates that spring will come soon. She helps us shake off our winter drowsiness and find renewal.

The renewal brings us hope, power, and tribal connection.

With Her loving support, we can also use Her festival to cleanse away all that has held us back—all that kept us from fulfilling our full potential and being of maximum service to our communities.

I will lead this cleansing, renewal, and personal burgeoning in a free Fairy rite on Sunday, February 2, 2025 at noon, pacific time.

During the ritual, Brid will also help attendees make plans for 2025. She will bless those plans, too.

The event will be via teleseminar—aka group phone call. If you subscribe to my newsletter, you have the information about how to attend.

If you have not subscribed yet and are interested in attending future free rituals, click the banner below. Publishing the call-in number here would allow robot promotional calls to interrupt our ritual.

New Fairy Witch Class

Begins February 2025

Join the Fairy Magic Circus - Ecstatic Spirituality, Sacred Play, Joyful Wonder - Magic to Reach Every Goal

Join the Fairy Magic Circus

Ecstatic Spirituality, Sacred Play, Joyful Wonder

Magic to Reach Every Goal

Joy, fun, wonder, and even silliness are powerful magics that help create prosperity, community, justice, self-expression, career success, soul-healing, freedom, and your other life goals. This course will show you how.

We’ll travel into the Fey realm to go to the Fairy Magic Circus. We will learn the magical powers of sacred joy from the masters of happiness: The clown, aerialist, strength performer, contortionist, juggler, wild animal handler, and ring master/mistress will teach you magic spells.

These archetypes will help you cast happy spells for everything you want.

The RingMaster/Mistress’s Powers

Fun Is Holy

Fun is holy. I cannot doubt it when I watch a child play. They seek fun the way a mystic seeks the Divine: with ferocity and reverence. The result is the child and mystic experiencing fulfillment, peace, power, and joy.

My Gods, being Pagan, bless fun activities.

Joy Is Holy

I need joy. Joy heals. Joy reminds me of my power and connects me to it. Joy unites me with tribe so that we can stand strong together, empowered to defeat adversity. Joy cuts through my illusions and discouragement to settle me into love for and from others. Joy brings forth my inner goodness: for example, respect for—and right action concerning—other people.

We will work with all these aspects of joy. We will also work with joy as a pure magic unto itself: The course will show how joy can create miracles.

A sense of wonder—or call it awe—nourishes my spirit. When I am starving for hope and motivation, awe is my food—a feast! Then I know that the Universe has happy plans for me.

I love circus artists because they focus on creating wonder, whether as circus barkers or trapeze artists. For me, that demonstrates they are masters of ecstatic spirituality.

Their shows embody sheer joy, both the experience of it and the giving of it. In their way, they teach ecstatic spirituality.

Let’s run away and join the Fairy Magic Circus to learn unapologetic joy, empowering wonder, and powerful happy witchcraft from the happiness experts.

You will learn to use wonder as a magic that creates miracles.

In the Fairy Magic Circus, we will also experience sacred silliness that lifts us so we transcend our dilemmas, and then roots us into our common sense so that we know how to solve those problems.

And the circus performer archetypes will teach how to find joy, wonder, and happiness even during hard times. For example, joy is a sacred sensibility that can permeate all activities.

How To Attend

Call the event phone number to attend. The group meets by teleconference. No special technology is needed. You receive the number after enrolling.

When I receive your enrollment, I will email you to ask which of the two class schedules you chose.

If you don’t receive that email within a few days, check your spam filter and spam mailbox.

A few days before our first meeting, you receive an email with the event phone number and other details. Refunds unavailable.

Join the Fairy Magic Circus can be used as one of the two qualifying electives needed to participate in the advanced Fairy Witch Training.

Simplicity is among the most advanced magics. It gives me stunning spiritual and material victories. This class’s simple happy witchcraft is helping me reach all my goals more than ever.

Sometimes I develop curriculums that get shelved, no matter how much I’ve worked on them. Perhaps a few pieces of the curriculum remain elusive, so it isn’t ready to teach yet. Or I am too far ahead of the curve. Or another course I am creating feels more timely. I’ve wanted to teach Join the Fairy Magic Circus for years, it is such powerful versatile magic, and finally:

It is time. Let’s go! Get your ticket to the Fairy Magic Circus!

I Joined the Fairy Circus

Posted on by

I Joined the Fairy Circus

Look at my face as a child. Do I look like I was ever suited to a “normal” life?

Obviously, I had to join the circus of life, become a fairground barker, jump on a magic carousel, perform in the Fairy Big Top, and travel with a carnival between the worlds.

Hard Traveling

William, the man who raised me, started traveling poor and hard when he was about twelve. My research indicates that his mom couldn’t afford to feed him, so he left home at age seven to work on a farm. A census puts him on a farm at that time, but not in his mom’s household. This is corroborated by a family member mentioning an “uncle” whose farm she visited as a child. The “uncle’s” name is the same as little William’s employer. There is also a relevant photo.

A census also shows that William (Bill) returned home, where his mother now lived with a new husband and his son. That unfortunate young boy stole milk from his front porch after the milkman delivered it because there was not enough food in the home. He would drink from the bottle and then add water to hide his theft. He told this to his daughter, my cousin, who passed the story on to me when I told her I suspected Dad had lived in poverty as a child.

It appears that young Bill left home again soon, to hit the road at age twelve. This was a common solution if a household had too many mouths to feed.

If my earlier writing about Bill contradicts anything here, it is likely because my research netted new information.

Request: It seems that the expression hard traveling predates its use in a Woody Guthrie song. If you know otherwise, please tell me. The expression is magical to me.

It might seem odd that a phrase describing hardship is magical to me. It might even appear callous toward individuals who suffer—or have suffered—on the road. I am in no way romanticizing hard traveling or otherwise minimizing it. My family history, including my own, is why the phrase is magic for me. I won’t didactically spell out further explanation here. The situation is nuanced, so perhaps explanations require an oral give-and-take dialogue. But this essay explains in part, not didactically but experientially and embodied.

A Witch Raised on Optimism and Descended from Society’s Hedge Rows

I wonder if Dad’s love of music came from traveling. His adoration of music seemed incongruent with everything else about him. He even loved musicals. But perhaps his love of show tunes came from his mother, who was a showgirl.

I descended from people who were on the edges of society, but they were not always what most people would imagine.

I assumed showgirl was the family euphemism for stripper. But later, I saw a family painting that I was told is a portrait of Bill’s mom. Curious, I went online, armed with the painter’s name: W Haskell Coffin. I discovered he was known for painting Ziegfeld showgirls. If the portrait is Bill’s mother, she was probably in the Ziegfeld Follies or a similar group.

That is not incompatible with being poor. Here are two reasons. Many performers experience economic hardship. As in any business, some people accumulate wealth, some people barely scrape by. If she did make decent money, she would’ve been past the age of a youthful Ziegfeld girl by the time she suffered poverty with young William. He was born six years after the Follies began. Her money could’ve run out by then.

I’ve spent decades researching my family history, trying to understand it. I’m not a trained researcher. My conclusions could easily be amiss. I tell the story best I can. That’s the job of a circus barker. Perhaps putting a family history together best you can is a necessity when you come from the margins. There were so many roadblocks. For example, I contacted an organization that archives material on Ziegfeld girls. The person with whom I spoke explained that a lot of material was lost because, after Ziegfeld died, there was no money to be made from the archives, so no one took care of them. Marginalized because of lack of money.

The following snapshot of the portrait isn’t great. I took it without great equipment decades ago at a family member’s home:

(Update: Further investigation suggests this might not be my grandmother, despite the family’s claim and all the time I’d already spent researching the painting. At least it opened my mind to her being a showgirl instead of a stripper. I hope I discover the group(s) in which she performed, and I am still looking into Ziegfeld. Research is a living process; new findings lead to—or suggest—new conclusions. Unfortunately, most people in the know have passed on. Of the few that remain, I only know one who is a reliable source. Speaking of new findings: After I wrote the above part of this paragraph, I spoke with that trustworthy source—e.g., when her source might be unreliable, she acknowledges it. She provided new history: She too was told Grandma was a showgirl. She was also told that Grandma was an actress. She added that it was implied—though not said outright—that Grandma was not well regarded by the family because of her work.)

Another example of outliers in the family: Bill was as close-minded as they come. But as a teenager, I brought home a stranger. He had no place to sleep, was due to enter the Marines the next day, and carried a guitar. I assumed Dad would angrily turn him away. That would’ve been typical of my close-minded, bitter father. But he gave the guy a bed. I imagine it was in part because the fellow was soon to be a Marine, but that the guitar had a lot to do with it too.

Dad, unexpectedly, adored folk music, not just show tunes. After his World War II military stint, he didn’t return from Europe to his wife and kids right away (I wasn’t born yet, but I know the story). He went south and hung out with hillbillies. Had they met as hard-traveling children? Thus far, I don’t know where else this extremely conservative man could’ve acquired a love of folk music. And unless he had experienced it rooted in his life experiences and worldview, he would’ve loathed it in the ‘60s when it was associated with radical politics.

I am 74 years old. Previous generations of my family are long gone. Their deaths impelled me to investigate old newspapers, public records, etc., long ago. That has been and continues to be fruitful and fascinating. I will keep at it to answer my new questions about Bill and the rest of the family. Plus, the family member who I know to be reliable remains, ever-ready to talk. And the beloved dead appear in visions to point out directions I might pursue or even tell me stories.)

More Lineage from Society’s Hedge-Row Edges

Bill was not my biological dad. DNA indicates my biological father likely descended from nomads. A family story: An Indian prince proposed to Mom but she chose Bill instead. I don’t know what the family meant by Indian. Mom aside, the family’s lack of education and abundance of prejudice means family members might have considered various peoples as Indian. Was my father Arabic? Iranian? Or?

Grandma a showgirl, Bill a hard traveler, biological father possibly a royal nomad, and Mom a fortuneteller from a long line of Italian witches. I was grown in the edges—society’s hedge rows. Add that I was raised on old musicals with their fantastically optimistic themes, and I had to become a performer in the Fairy circus of life—a nomad traveling for sheer joy, both the experience of it and the giving of it.

Hard Times Taught Me Unapologetic Joy

I am grateful to know a beautiful joy that you can learn from hard times. It is a joy you learn to nurture regardless of circumstances. It is a pure, untainted joy.

That’s one reason I love the circus. Circus artists focus on creating joy and wonder, whether as a clown or trapeze artist. Their shows embody unapologetic joy.

Run away and join the Fairy Magic Circus, for sheer joy:

Loss, Fairy Magic, Unapologetic Joy, and the Circus

Loss, Fairy Magic, Unapologetic Joy, and the Circus

After going to the circus today, I had to buy myself a slide whistle.

Letting go of possessions is interesting. I feel okay about losing all my beloved small musical instruments recently. (They were stolen from U-Haul storage where they were temporarily stored during my move.) It was difficult at first. A good many instruments are gone: claves, kazoo, playing spoons, tin whistle, a collection of harmonicas, a harmonica holder so that I can play one while also playing guitar, …

I used them for years, some of them for decades. I had sentimental attachments to them. Wonderful memories remain. I am lucky.

And now I have a slide whistle. It is too ridiculous an instrument for me to have resisted. I can play kazoo like nobody’s business. I mean, for one thing, I make it sound like a sax. That is ridiculous so people start laughing. Now I will be able to incite laughter with a slide whistle.

I love making people laugh.

Humor helps us when we are in pain. Laughter heals.

Life should be like the circus.

I try to turn my day into a circus—filled with magic, daring, unapologetic joy, and a sufficient amount of ridiculousness.

I know in my heart that Fairies go to the circus. Many a Fairy worships human artistry and prioritizes joy. Surely, Fey Folk are drawn to circuses’ glittery costumes and uninhibitedly wild pomp.

Surely some Fairies spin enchantments for circuses to succeed financially. That way, circus artists can be paid to devote their time to keeping their skills sharp and entertaining everyone. Fairies not only seek entertainment but also want everyone else to have it.

Fairies bless my day so that I can live in magic, be daring, pursue joy wholeheartedly, and indulge in ridiculousness. That way, I am entertaining them.

When a small item is suddenly and inexplicably missing, Fairies might have stolen it, so lore tells us. Lore does not say that Fairies break into storage spaces and abscond with carfuls of boxes. That box of small instruments was not the only one stolen. Whoever is to blame, I’m happy to be more lightweight.

In recent years, the burglary and other unpleasant events forced me to let go of half my possessions. It was hard. But I became grateful that the universe forced my hand. It led to my choosing to get rid of more, and I hope to winnow down to only 7/8 of what I had.

I skedaddled as soon as I was born,
running away to join the circus of life.
Older but still tiny, I escaped from the neighborhood
on my bicycle.
A circus performer in the big top that is life,
I travel across physical miles
and the small spaces within atoms.
It is easier with fewer possessions.
Burglars stole beloved tools that created joy.
Less burdened, I more easily traverse Gaia and atoms,
as I make new joy
with my slide whistle,
stubbornly happy attitude,
and magical spells.
I make joy with the musical instruments that were not stolen.
I make joy with new tools that appear in new lands.
I will make joy with the glitter and other goodies
that remain after I finish purging my possessions.

I do not make do. I make joy. So mote it be!

Run away and join the circus with me and the Fey Folk.

Seven Core Powers of Fairy Magic: Witchcraft to Create Everything You Want and Need

Seven Core Powers of Fairy Magic:

Witchcraft to Create Everything You Want and Need

Core Techniques for the Faerie Shaman

You will learn seven important Faerie Shamanism basics. (Faerie Shaman and Fairy Witch are synonymous when I discuss the traditional Witchcraft I know because it is Shamanic.)

Two of the seven techniques are the most advanced magical methods there are. Oddly enough, they are simple and easy in some ways.

Lessons will focus on Shamanic training to become skilled at these techniques. We train during our meetings.

Practical Spells for Money, Safety, and More

You will learn magic to manifest whatever you want.

Since I create multi-faceted training exercises, they sharpen your skills while also being magical spells to improve your life now.

Prosperity, serenity, justice, self-expression, career success, and soul-healing are examples of goals that the spells can help you achieve.

The spells are more effective because the training increases your magical skills.

Down-to-earth use of magic is how you learn traditional Witchcraft. Since the training exercises are also spells to reach your goals, they are a chance to apply magic to real life.

Why Adepts and Beginners Need Seven Core Powers of Fairy Magic

The course’s brevity allows you to make headway without committing to a long training.

Training in the seven Shamanic techniques helps someone new to magic use it successfully. We cover Witchcraft basics that make a substantial difference in your life and the effectiveness of your magic. This is all the more so because these basics work together as a whole, the sum of which is greater than the sum of its parts. During lessons, I reveal the beautiful nature of this weave.

A training in basics provides a vital refresher course for adepts and intermediate students. You’ll train in the seven techniques so they become second nature (again). Then they will be at hand when you need them. During classes, you also discover how these foundational techniques will always have new, important relevance. If you’ve studied with me for a long time, you know my work always has a deeper layer that will address your own new depths, dilemmas, and powers.

No Magical Boot Camp Required

This is not a boot camp. Seven Core Powers of Fairy Magic is gentle, which gets you where you want to go faster.

And, strangely enough, you learn a lot more from the gentle ways I teach than a boot-camp approach usually provides.

You can go at your own pace. During the course, you’ll learn why a slow pace can improve your life and create the foundation for faster progress.

When the course ends, you have a training that you can continue independently if you want. Plus pursuing it need not be overwhelming, and it continues to be spells to have the life you want.

Why I Decided to Teach Seven Core Powers of Fairy Magic

Occasionally, I retrain myself in Shamanic basics. I’ve been retraining for about a year.

It increased my appreciation of the spiritual depths and magical heights that simplicity facilitates. That, along with the retraining’s other benefits, lifted me and my life to new levels. It was wonderful, which made me long for others to have the same benefits. So I created this class.

I have always believed that simplicity is one of the most advanced forms of magic. Now I am getting to live that more than ever.

Some of the aforementioned other benefits I received from retraining in the basics:

* I had stunning victories, materially and spiritually. I had longed for them. And I knew that other people could achieve whatever victories they long for by using the same methods. The retraining possessed enough magical clout for me as an advanced shamanic practitioner. So it could work well for other adepts. Yet its simplicity would make it accessible to the newest beginners.

* The retraining helped maintain my skill level.

* Skills that had lessened are heightened again.

* It helped tremendously with focus. Before retraining, I could focus when leading a ritual or casting a spell for someone else, but less so on my own in a ritual for myself. Focus is a Shamanic skill. Training from the ground up rebuilt my focus.

* Lack of focus in other parts of my life was also greatly remedied.

Fairy Magic Increases Focus in All Parts of Your Life

An inability to focus on ritual or another part of life can stem from trauma, an exceedingly busy schedule, or a lack of training.

Regaining a great focus throughout my day made me think about many people’s inability to focus well enough to do what they want. I thought about the suffering that creates for some of them. The retraining reminded me that I have a solution.

I also thought about people whose lessened focus may not cause them suffering, but does limit their effectiveness in reaching goals. My retraining reminded me that I have a solution.

Maintaining focus is one reason I am relying on simplicity more than ever.

For example, since I lacked focus for complex, lengthy rites when I was doing them alone for myself, I started my retraining with simple, quick techniques—spells for what was important to me and that helped me regain my magical wherewithal. So in this class, I provide simple, short training exercises that are also spells for what is important to you.

I long to teach others how simple magical techniques are giving me more power than ever to manifest my dreams.

A Substantial Difference

In eight weeks, I do not expect to cover all the Shamanic basics. Gods no!

That is the beauty of this class. In simplicity, there is power. We get right to the core of magic.

So mote it be!

In this year’s Fairy Yule ritual, we’ll draw on the transformative powers and other magics of the Yule season.

During the ritual, the Sun King will bless us. He is born on Solstice morning, bringing us hope, empowerment, and tribal connection.


We’ll also cast a spell for prosperity and whatever else we need, by drinking in the season’s wonders and enchantments.

Then there will be a spell to help us help those we care about, whether family, friends, Gaia, all Her children, or …
