When I had completed fifty years as a LiveWood Craftsman, ‘The Folks Upstairs' (our Elfin name for ‘the Gods before the Gods') gave me a very special present.

They arranged for an ancient Yew Tree, over 5,000 years old and one of the oldest in Europe, to donate a piece of LiveWood to me, for me to make into a very special Magick Wand, for my own use.

As far as I know, it is the oldest magick wand to be found anywhere in the world.

I will have it with me when I speak at Leicester on the 17th of this month... but, for the benefit of all those of you, who are unable to be there... you can see it in the picture above.

It is unusual in the fact that it bears a face with long hair sweeping up to form the point.
I didn't carve this face... It is a natural formation in the wood, that makes it so loveable.

Unfortunately, the ancient energy in this tool is so powerful that I can't allow anybody to handle it for safety's sake; and I have to handle it with care myself.
But most people find it a joy to behold.

Unlike, the other wands I will have on display, it will not be for sale, as it's price would be prohibitive for most people, and I wouldn't want to part with it anyway.

If you live in England, you'll be very pleased to hear that, I will be talking about...
‘The Hidden Secrets of Real Magick Wands'
at this year's Equinox Fayre, in Leicester, on March 17th.

This will be the first public talk I've done, in England, since I retired seven years ago. So it is an event not to be missed.

The Beltane Spring Fayre Group, will be holding their Equinox Fayre, at Moat Community College, in Leicester, on Saturday 17th March.
Click here for further information.

We have been given a table in the Magickal Market, where we will be displaying the largest and most unusual, collection of Real Magick Items to be found anywhere in the world.
Come and feel them for yourself, and we'll be pleased to tell you all about them.

All of our items, are completely unique, and have a very special feel about them that Witches, Psychics and Healers, find so fascinating.

They can open doors into Other Worlds, that 99% of people have never even head of, let alone experienced.
Come and see how open your mind is... you could be amazed!

But... A word of warning... They are tools that work, NOT playthings.
They cost real money... but they are all fully guaranteed!

There will also be lots of other unusual people at this Fayre, so you can be sure of a very interesting event. Click here for more information.

Put it in your diary now... so that you can come and meet me and introduce yourself.... I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about... and it will be well worth the trip.

I look forward to meeting you there!

Several people have asked me lately...

Are you a Witch?

So to save lots of other people saying it.... I'd better explain....

I was born into an ancient family of English Witches. So I am an Hereditary Witch, or Village Wise Man, because I have a lot of ancestral knowledge stored in the back of my funny shaped skull; that enables me to help people. I've also done all the necessary training.

When I was young the Second World War was raging and a lot of non-physical work was needed to help the War Effort.

Being an 'Outsider or Outlaw' and a bit of 'Problem Child' I was sent to a 'Special' school in Ashdown Forest. It was there, on my ninth birthday; I was Initiated into Tree Magick and started my 25 year apprenticeship.

A local Witch heard about it and told her Coven, about me... and the next thing I knew, they 'Recognised' me and I was Initiated into the Ashdown Coven, by the Priestess, Gladys Langridge.

My Wiccan friends, might be interested to know that later Gladys married Bobbie Clutterbuck and was the High Priestess who later Initiated Gerald Gardener into the craft.

Anyway, the reason the local coven needed me, plus mom and dad, and my grandfather; was because, a very special event was coming up and a lot of Weather Magick would be required.

For some unknown reason, attempting to control the weather, was a craft-idea, peculiar to us 'On-the-Chalk' Witches.

In May and June of 1944, the weather was much, much wetter than normal, and the 'hush, hush' D-Day Landing was unable to proceed, unless the weather changed. In fact thousands of troops were hidden out of sight, in all the local forests, awaiting the rain to ease-up and the invasion to start.

At the beginning of June, Witches came from far and wide to a sacred high-place in Ashdown Forest.

Here we all crowded into the 'Power-Vortex' and did a very special circle dance, for hour after hour, in the rain and mud, until at last, the Rain Gods realised we were serious, started to form the 'Window in the Weather' that enabled the D-Day landing to go ahead.

Soon there were military vehicles wverywhere, rushing the troops to the sea, whilst we trudged home soaked to the skin.

For the next 24 hours the skies were full of wave after wave, of aircraft heading for Europe; and by the end of the day, half of our 'boys' were dead in France; but the tide of war had changed.

Since then, I've tried to use my witchcraft talents for helping people, as the Village Witches in my family have always done.

I know that a lot of my readers are witches of one sort or another; and I hope they too are using their talents to help people.

I would also like to assure all my hundreds of German Friends that we bear you no ill-will, you were brainwashed by your government just as we were. We really are cousins you know!

More about Witches to come.... So stay tuned for the next item... or...
