We have been called many names...

Metaphysical, New Age, Gift Shop, Hippie, Earthy, Tree-Hugger, Spiritual, Goddess, Celtic, Pagan, Witch, Wicca, Wise Women, just to name a few...   Native Americans, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Pagans, Hinduists, Druids, and Celts all use affirmations, prayers, rituals and magic in their daily practices. Imagine a connection (similar to a web) through invisible threads, all of which are connected with each other. Any wind, or any vibration on that web, will make waves that will influence the whole. This is how the Spirit works, and this is the magical tradition behind all religions. The Spirit is very powerful.
