October ’09 Newsletter
The October newsletter is my favorite. That could be because this month and the holiday of Samhain, or Halloween, is a big favorite with our family. This newsletter began as a germ of an idea the beginning of September and...

- About Me:
Greetings to all who enter my realm...it's time for an update:
I am a wildly eclectic solitary Witch. If an old path isn't working, new paths can always be forged. Don't hold yourself back from spiritual endeavors and growth because of someone else's obsolete rules or mental hang-ups. Forge your own path, walk your own way. I have strong leanings toward Dianic Wicca, and yet I am a notriously eclectic Witch, incorporating apsects of hoodoo, green witchcraft, as well as Wicca in my practice.
I am a Reiki practitioner, recently receiving my Level 1 Attunement from one of my dearest friends and Reiki Master, which made it even more magickal. I am consumed at this time in my life with the study of holistic healing methods; including crystals, aromatherapy, reflexology, etc. It's as though Reiki opened the door to a whole new world for me.
I am a professional tarot reader, offering various spreads as well as video tarot readings at my tarot sites. I use the intuitive method of reading the cards, promise no clouds with silver linings, try my best to help people find the light at the end of the tunnel, and I take absolutely no responsibility for the individual choices people make about their lives-- Some people are determined to go down the wrong road and make the wrong choices; no matter what the cards, the gods, or common sense tells them! At the other end of the spectrum are those people who manage to pull it all together after a little tap on the shoulder from Destiny and a new perspective from a tarot reading. Tarot reading is incredible. Sometimes I get to know more than I care to about someone; and then again, I may wind up learning one of Life's lessons right along with them!
I am a legally ordained member of the clergy, but at this time do not do weddings, handfastings, sagings, etc. I will never say 'never', though, you don't always know exactly what direction you're going to go until you get to the crossroads.
I have been a home schooling mother for the past 20 years or so, the mother of a large brood, I might add-- seven of my birth children, two step-sons (with lovely wives), and two grandbabies.
My life is neither glamorous nor exotic-- it consists of mountains of laundry, piles and piles of dishes, an often cluttered living space, lots of cats, heavy traffic, conflicting schedules, and always in the background-- that wonderful steady 'hum' that is Life.
I'm also a hit and miss housekeeper, avid reader, rock hound, chocoholic, master procrastinator, dreamer and visionary, the typical 'crazy cat lady', and a very stubborn independent wife-- just ask my husband.

- Favorite Books
I love to read almost as much as I enjoy movies. Most of my reading involves nonficiton books on occult topics by Silver Ravenwolf, Scott Cunningham, Ann Moura, Ly de Angeles, Raven Grimmasi, Laurie Cabot, Konstantinos, Raymond Buckland, etc. I love Anne Rice and when I'm in the mood, Poe. I adore Tennyson, had a crush on him when I was 18. Sir Thomas Mallory and all the tales of King Arthur, Charlotte Bronte and her sister Emily, Dan Brown, the diaries and letters of Anne Morrow Lindbergh, The Diary of a Witch by Sybil Leek, books by the late Betty McDonald: The Egg & I and Onions in the Stew. I like books on real life mysteries: The disappearance of Amelia Earhart, the Bermuda Triangle, etc. I love books about real life forbidden romance, such as King Edward VIII and Wallis Warfield Simpson. I use to love to read tawdry cheap love novels, but I no longer have the time or patience... Again, as with music-- I tend to gravitate toward work that touches me in some way.

- Heroes
My heroes are couples who find true and everlasting love, the kind you grow old with, couples who have developed the kind of stamina in their partnership to see each other through the trials of life. My heroes are also women who are not afraid to discover the ancient mysteries within themselves and the strength that comes with that knowledge...and the men who are not afraid to love those women in spite of it.
- Likes
I love watching movies!
My favorite movie is The Mists of Avalon, from there...Practical Magic, The Witches of Eastwick, The Craft, What Lies Beneath, The Missing, The Gift, The Jacket, The Ring, Secret Window, all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Ninth Gate (and just about anything else with Johnny Depp in it), Elizabeth, The Quill, The Governess, Nanny MacPhee, Finding Neverland, The Postman, Merlin, The Illusionist, I’ve Been Waiting for You, An American Haunting, Ghost, The Kill Bill movies (smart beautiful woman kicking ass—who wouldn’t love that), all of the Harry Potter movies and Lord of the Rings, The Quiet Man (I’ve seen this one a zillion times and still get goosebumps when John Wayne comes to fetch Maureen O’hara.), It’s a Wonderful Life, First Knight, The Glass House, The Red Dragon, The Da Vinci Code, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Moonlight & Valentino, Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood, The Secret of Roan Innish, Something's Gotta Give, Skeleton Key...I love old movies, including silent films.
- Dislikes
Summer storms that build beautifully and evaporate before they unfold. Seafood. Putting on nylons when your fingers are rough and catchy. Hunting season on turtle doves. People afraid to believe in something they can't see. Afternoon sunshine. The dead of winter.

Lady Amythyst Raine is a professional tarot reader, legally ordained clergy, and solitary Kitchen Wytch. She has been practicing various forms of magick and paganism for 34 years.
She brings to you infinite possibilites in the form of mojo bags, talismans, witch's bottles, spell candles and other forms of basic cottage wytchery. These are ancient practices steeped in a variety of traditions, including Hoodoo and European Witchcraft.
From the depths of the Louisiana Bayous, to the Celtic Isles, magick has been handed down from generation to generation. Here, this magick can become your heritage as well...to protect you, bring prosperity and peace, dole out retribution to enemies, heal and maintain healthy energy, and altar those circumstances which block your path to growth and success.
Wytchy Wares
http://ladyamythyst.webs.com /wytchywares.htm
Mojo Bags
These mysterious little bags and pouches, filled with magickal herbs, stones, feathers, bones, and other Wytchly items; carried in purses and pockets, tied about the neck with black cord, worn on a silver chain, placed beneath your pillow, hidden in an enemies domain, or tucked away at your workplace are not mythical creations of hollywood movies or old legends. They are real, and there are people who use mojo bags, utlizing the magick within this ancient practice. And now, so can you.
At Wytchy Wares you'll find Mojo Bags for dreams, love, health, employment, money, and hexing.
Spell Candles
Red Candles
Red candles are traditionally crafted for romance, passion, lust-- all things "hot and passionate". I have used them to heat and stir passions in many ways, for many purposes, and for many reasons. I've used them in combination with other candles to raise fiery passion for different intentions and causes.
Green candles
Green candles call up the magick for money and health. I've used green candles for years to make sure that my purse is never empty and there is a steady flow of income into our household. This is not about greed and getting rich-- it never is. It's about making sure you have food on the table, a roof over your head, and clothes on your back. Use a green candle in conjunction with money spells, and don't forget that you have to put forth a mundane effort to raise money along with magickal efforts.
Green candles are also used in health and healing spells...light a green candle to call forth energies needed for healing.
Blue Candles
Blue candles are used to call up our psychic energies, to recharge our psychic batteries. They are used to open doorways into our sub-concious. Light a blue candle when you wish to clear your intuitive senses. Blue candles can also be used in conjunction with dream spells.
Yellow Candles
Yellow candles are used when energies are needed for mental endeavors or to further communications. Light a yellow candle when you need to call forth energies for tests, exams, mental work of any kind. Use a yellow candle to open pathways to better communication between family or friends, or in conjunction with spells for furthering understanding.
"Burn the Spell Candles"
Spells for love and money!...These candles combine the power of the written word and the magick and energy of the candle's flame.
Remove the spell from the candle. On the back of the wrap write down your specific desires for this spell. Then burn it in the flame, reciting the spell three times; allow the candle to burn itself out.
Health & Healing Oil
This ointment is used to "dress" candles used for healing or to maintain continued good health. Annoint a green candle with this oil for healing of the body; a yellow candle for healing of the mind; a red candle for the physical healing of the reproductive system-- a yellow candle can be burned along with the red one for mental healing of sexual abuse victims.
Exorcism/Purification Oil
Annoint a black candle with this oil to exorcise those demons that are bothering you-- whether the irritation is physical or mental. Annoint a white candle with this oil and burn it to purify your physical space or your mental/physical state. I've used this oil to exorcise entities haunting my home, and I've used it to exorcise people from my life who were causing problems.
Mars Astrological Oil
This ointment promotes courage, strength, aggression, sexual energy, healing after surgery, exorcisms, and defensive magick. I've found this to be an especially effective and strong magickal tool, and I want to caution you that this oil can also banish. Use it wisely.
Witches' Oil
This is an "all purpose" oil which can be used to annoint the body prior to rituals or spell casting. It can also be used to dress candles.
Psychic Oil
Annoint your third eye chakra with this oil before doing divination of any kind, or annoint a lavendar candle to call up and strengthen your psychic powers.
Sex Oil
Carve your name and the name of the one you desire on a red candle; annoint it with this oil to ignite passion and lust. Then stand back and be prepared for some fireworks! This oil can be made to accomodate a monogamous couple, instilled with herbs to maintain fidelity. If you wish, you can email me at:
witch_of_endore@yahoo.com
with your personal preferences. We can work together to create a unique oil with the qualities that you desire.
Prosperity Oil
This oil is used to annoint candles for money magick. It can also be used to annoint stones conducive to wealth and prosperity and carried in your purse or wallet. It will enhance and draw the energies that stimulate the acquisition of money in many ways.
Summoning Powder
This powder does just what its name suggests-- it summons someone to you. If you are in possession of a piece of clothing belonging to the individual you wish to summon, particularly intimate apparell, sprinkle it with this powder. You can also sprinkle this powder on a piece of correspondence you send to this person-- although in this day and age of terrorism, I would be cautious about sending anything through the mail that has a powdery dust on it.
Black Cat Oil
Black cat oil is used to break bad spells and hexes, to attract the opposite sex, and to call in the spirits-- benevolent, magickally oriented spirits. The ingredients in black cat oil is slightly different to attract the opposite sex, so make sure that you select the correct pay pal button.
Four Thieves Vinegar
Four Thieves Vinegar is a crucial component in many banishing and commanding spells. It can also be used to banish illness. It's reputed to drive away danger and rescue its user from disaster.
The following new oils/potions have recently been added:
Graveyard Dirt
Commanding Oil
Banishing Oil
Uncrossing Oil
Poppets
Green Poppets
Green poppets are created for magicks involving health/healing and wealth. The 'wealth' part is not about get rich quick schemes, it never is and it doesn't work that way. It's about making sure that your purse never runs dry; making sure that you have enough money to put food on your table, a roof over your head, and clothes on your back. The herbs used for a poppet made for healing are different than those used for wealth, so make sure to hit the correct paypal button for your choice.
Red Poppets
It's the red poppets which are the most notorious and the most popular. The red poppets are used in Love Spells. These poppets are filled with apple blossoms, rose petals, catnip, coriander, and pink rose quartz. This poppet wears a pewter pendent of a salamander, the elemental being connected to the element of Fire and associated with love, lust, and passion. Upon it's chest it wears a double silver heart, and it holds in it's right hand the ulitmate symbol of love and commitment...wedding rings.
Like all of my poppets, the left side is closed with a safety pin, allowing you to open it and insert herbs for your particular situation, the target's hair, nails, photo, etc.
Black Poppets
Mystery, gossip, fear, and foreboding...the Black Poppet's legacy. Black poppets are used for Cursing and Hexing. This poppet is filled with the notorius Goofer Dust of Voodoo fame, graveyard dirt, black pepper, and a stone of black onyx. As with the other poppets, one side is clasped with a safety pin so that you may open it and add your target's hair, fingernails, photo, etc. In its hand it holds a dark feather-- that justice, retribution, and revenge shall be swift.
Tarot Readings
Before you request a reading from me, you should know that I read using the intuitive method. This means that I not only recognize and utilize the traditional 'book meanings' of the cards, but I allow my own psychic ablities to play into the process as well. Intuitive reading means that an image from the card-- a color, a shape, a form, an object, etc. will catch my eye or sometimes 'leap' at me from the card, and a clairsentient or clairvoyant thought will come to me-- and the information that I glean from a card in this way may have nothing to do with the traditional 'book' meaning of that card. This method makes for very accurate readings with insights that seemingly come from out of the blue, sometimes startling in their on-target hit.

What is divination?
Divination is defined by Webster's New World Dictionary as:
The art or practice of trying to foretell the future or explore the unknown by occult means. A Prophecy; an augury.
There are an enormous variety of techniques for attempting to foretell the future. Some include...
Astrology: This is the concept that one's future is dependent upon the location of the sun, moon and planets at the precise time of a person's birth.
Bird organs: The ancient Romans would prophecy the future on the basis of the internal organs of birds that had been sacrificed for the purpose.
I Ching: This is an ancient Chinese oracle book which can be used to foretell the future, answer questions, etc. The practitioner generates a number from 1 to 64 by selecting sticks, or casting dice or coins. The oracle book assigns different meanings to each of the numbers.
Numerology: This is the practice of assigning a digit to each letter in a person's name, and deriving a series of numbers which have special significance to the person.
Palm reading: A person's future is foretold by observing the creases in their palm and shape of their fingers.
Runes: These are a group of from 16 to 31 (typically 26) letters of an ancient Northern European alphabet. The letters are inscribed on small rocks or pieces of paper or plastic. The runes are cast, and the future foretold from the runes that land inverted and not inverted, as well as from their location.
Scrying: This is a technique of producing visions of the future by gazing into a crystal ball, black mirror, bowl of water, hot coals from a fire, etc.
Tarot cards: This involves fortune telling through the use of a pack of 78 Tarot cards. The cards are shuffled; a few are dealt and laid in a specific formation (circle, cross, square, etc.). The cards are interpreted according to their intrinsic meaning, as modified by the significance of their location.
Teacup reading: The future is predicted by the shapes formed by tea leaves after a cup of tea has been consumed.
Other methods: Future events have been predicted through the use of dice, dominos, dream interpretation, pendulum movements, playing cards, various trance techniques, etc.
I've been psychic ever since I can remember. My earliest days of childhood are filled with what the general population would consider 'unusual experiences'. My grandmother, the woman who raised me, viewed this phenomenon as completely natural. Thus, as a small child-- so did I. Then, in 1969, a psychic experience was to change my life forever...
Easter Sunday, 1969, I was 12 years old.
It had been a horrendous winter. My Aunt & Uncle had been snowed in for months. We were only able to have Easter dinner with them by driving a long route and coming in from the east as opposed to the more direct west route. Even then, we had to park our car on top of a hill and walk part of the way to their farmhouse, down a hill, across a small valley and up over the next hill.
It was after dinner. The women were still in the kitchen chatting. My uncle and grandfather were sitting in the living room listening to music, along with my sister and me. We were both perched on the edge of a long piano stool.
I looked across the room at my Uncle, who was stretched out on the sofa, one arm behind his head. As I watched, I was startled and fascinated to see the back of the sofa suddenly swing forward and close over him. I realized that I was seeing my uncle in a coffin with the lid being closed. I shook my head and blinked my eyes to rid myself of this vision.
Later in the afternoon, he left to go outside and check the water levels in the driveway, where the melting snow was beginning to cause flooding. My sister and I were standing in the dining room window, watching him walk up to the house.
We turned away.
A second later we heard a muffled noise, and my Aunt came hysterically screaming from the kitchen doorway, “Mom! Mom!”...calling my grandmother.
My Uncle had stepped into the entryway off the kitchen and collapsed.
They called for an ambulance—which came in the wrong way, the way that was still blocked with deep snow banks, and they had to turn around to come in the same way we did. They also had to walk a gurney the same path we took, across the valley. It took so long for help to get there.
My uncle died that day.
For years afterward, I thought that by seeing that vision I had caused it to happen. I spent a great many years deliberately attempting to squelch any psychic thoughts. It wasn’t until I was in my late teens that I finally told my grandmother about that day and what I saw. She reassured me that what I had seen had been a premonition and had nothing to do with causing the event.
It was then that I really began to understand.

Paranormal State, Medium, and Ghost Hunters are three of my family's favorite programs. Perhaps the reason for this is that paranormal experiences are not unusual occurrences for us, and we enjoy nothing better than a good ghost hunt or viewing some documented paranormal activity:
Growing up in my grandmother’s house prepared me for the paranormal occurrences that I would experience in this, my own house. My grandmother’s house was very active and anyone with an ounce of sensitivity to such things was always very aware of it...the feeling of being “watched” when no one else was near you, the hair suddenly standing up on the back of your neck and the sensation that “someone” was standing behind you, unintelligible whisperings in the dark of the night, a blanket being pulled from you by something you couldn’t see, lights going off and on with no explanation—and stove burners doing the same unnerving thing, objects occasionally moving, etc.
Growing up with these occurrences, I thought it was natural—wasn’t everyone’s house like this? Apparently not, I was to learn as I became older. That enlightenment helped me to appreciate, study, and cope with paranormal activities on a very basic level. It also taught me to conquer any fear.
During the night, my youngest daughter called out to me in distress from her bedroom. When I went to her, she was thrashing around in her covers, upset and frightened. I asked her what was the matter.
“There’s ‘A Lady’ bothering me,” my daughter told me.
After a few more questions, this is what I got: “The Lady” had been standing beside her bed off and on during the night. The Lady was angry or upset or sad.
Unlike the majority of parents, when my children describe unseen entities and paranormal activity to me, I believe them. Also, while standing by my daughter’s bed talking to her, I had a rush of tingling goose flesh run from the bottom of my feet up my legs. I knew that some kind of presence was in the room.
In order to clear my daughter’s room of this “Lady”; I lit a white candle and some incense, tossed a handful of salt about—including under her bed, and left a small bowl of salt on her night stand. I told my daughter that if “The Lady” came to bother her again, she could just take a pinch of salt and toss it at the entity and it would go away.
Reassured, my child—and I—went back to sleep.
The next day came the daily local newspaper: Yesterday evening a pregnant young woman, along with her year old baby, was killed in a head on collision with a semi-trailer truck just a few miles north of our home. This young woman had been the daughter of the people we had bought this house from several years ago.
My daughter was sleeping in what had been this young woman’s bedroom.

I meet so many different kinds of people doing tarot readings and some tend to stick with you more than others. This particular woman was one of those...
I met a woman at Next Millennium yesterday, probably 10 years or so older than me, who had been married to a Dr. and was divorced. This woman said that she had always attracted 'professional men', and she didn't have anything very flattering to say about her experience. She said, basic
