Monthly Haiku Corner – May

The recent flood of Halloween images swarming my social media has filled my little dark heart with happiness. So, for May, let’s continue celebrating the halfway point to Halloween. This month’s theme is Dreaming of Halloween.

paper jack-o-lanterns
and witches’ cackles.

Happy Caturday – August

What goes into a good spell? Mugwort? Thyme? Bat Wool? Dragon’s Blood? Most witches know the first and best ingredient is your intentions. What are you trying to achieve? Focus on that. Your intention is what makes the spell powerful. The rest of the ingredients can come from your kitchen, your garden, the Apothecary down the street, it doesn’t matter where you get them, as long as your intentions are good. Remember, you get back what you put out. And don’t forget to write it all down for next time.

The theme this month is a Witches Halloween Spellbook.
