the power of apparently influencing events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.
“suddenly, as if by magic, the doors start to open”

The first page of my Book of Shadows which was started in 1983

“Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfil
An it HARM NONE
Do what thou will”
Despite training “would be witches” last century and earlier this century I stopped believing that we create our own reality.
I now acknowledge that we do but that there are other variables influencing this:
not the least being the thoughts and words of other homo sapiens.
Hence the Witches Pyramid “says” To know: to Dare: to Will and TO KEEP SILENT
I used to tell neophytes that it is intent that matters and emotion that empowers.
We draw energy by chanting and dancing (the cone of power).
Most people would be aware of the idea of a self fulfilling prophecy:
“A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true, by the very terms of the prophecy itself, due to positive feedback between belief and behaviour.” Wikipedia

The power of suggestion –When I am in too much pain to cope or my anxiety disorder kicks in I say to my self “RELAX” and “SMILE”.
Try saying smile to yourself and see what happens 😀
A few years ago a wise young lady suggested that I was an empath.
I initially thought “More New Age crap” but the concept fits me.
I have always been able to tell if people were lying and as a child thought that everyone could.
After typing the following I realize that I have gone off on a tangent. Oops!
My children used to call me Doctor Dolittle
(But if you have ever read the book; Hugh Lofting says that livestock don’t have thoughts or feelings: so I am different to the character in the book!)
I feel for non human life forms.
I will not kill anything including mice, rats or insects: or chop down trees.
I remove birds, animals and lizards from the road when they have been hit by the species that think they are the only species that matters.
When I ate meat I would have nightmares that I was an animal in a slaughter house.
I do what I can in the microcosm.
See my previous blog “Healing For Our Planet”
There is so much available on magic and spells these days:
My favourite is Marion Weinstein’s “Positive Magic”

And this is a quote from Doreen Valiente’s “Natural Magic”:
“Believe in the possibility of what you intend to do, hold it strongly in your mind, and it will happen.”
A spell from my very old book of shadows.
When I collect the leaves from the Bay Laurel I thank both the tree and the leaves. I may seem weird to others but I don’t care.

Bay Leaf Spell
Prepare a container with live coals or charcoal blocks:
Scatter crumbled bay leaves over them:
concentrate on the wish you are making:
Chant:
“Bay leaf burn fire
Draw to me my heart’s desire.”
Speak of your wish aloud:
And repeat the ritual thrice.

I just wish I could wiggle my nose like Samantha and the house would be clean and dishes washed 😛

Blessed be
and be kind to non- human life forms.


It is Beltane here 😀
The sabbats are seasonal:
so in the southern hemisphere it is Beltane (MayDay)
In the northern hemisphere it is Samhain (Halloween)
Beltane was a fertility festival where the villages would come together:
This way “in- breeding” – in the same village was lessened.
A child conceived at Beltane was considered special.
We witches in the days before Wicca became popular; and before “political correctness” ;
jokingly called it the “Nookie Festival.”
Bright Nookie! 😀

This is me at the very first Australian Wiccan conference in 1984. At spring equinox:
I heard the song Burning Times by Charlie Murphy: My favourite version is by Spiral Dance:
My eldest granddaughter is the make artist for these Halloween faces:
Enjoy your celebrations:

When I was young I believed that a few people could make a difference:
From a sociological point of view the more people that want something to change the more likely the change will happen.
I have learned over the years that multinationals rule the world and humans believe that they are the only species that matters and the only species that has feelings ☹
Population control as in zero population growth is essential.
Humans make up 99 percent of the of the world population.
Hence only one percent is wildlife.

Kungfutz (Confucius) say “Better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.”
Taking advice from Confucius –
A few of us are sending healing at the same time each evening to the earth and all birds, animals, reptiles, insects, trees, plants, molluscs, arachnids, sea life and to the bees, koalas and other endangered species.
I include livestock and laboratory animals being freed and inhumane practices abolished.
I also ask that zero population growth for humans is implemented throughout the planet.
If you wish to join in:
send healing (or pray if you have religious beliefs) at 8pm /2000hrs South Australian time:
Less than five minutes a night.
Similar endeavours have succeeded in the past on a smaller scale.
Even if you cannot send every night send on the evenings that you can.
If you’re are overseas and able join in just calculate the time. e.g. UK would be 10.30am—Australia has changed to daylight saving.
Please include a protection around the Great Australian Bight to prevent oil drilling!
Enjoy your weekend and be kind to non human life forms
Blessed be

I have a Facebook page called this.

When I was in primary school we were asked to write and essay entitled “My Wish” I wrote that I wished that people would care more about the planet and other life forms than about money: The headmaster wrote good girl on this essay and I was so embarrassed because I didn’t think like every one else who wrote about items they wish they had.
I later learned that multinationals ruled the world!

Long, long ago (In the 1970’s) I wrote a sociology paper on communism.
Unfortunately I am unable to remember all my research and “googling” does not always give accurate information.
I could never understand why Marx was portrayed as some one evil?
Well yes, I can: He was criticizing capitalism.
I remember the conclusion of this paper was – that the only time true communism existed was in Israeli Kibbutz: and this is no longer the case. It appears humans prefer to own rather than share.
(In the sci fi short story I published the surviving humans lived in a commune. I am not happy with my book. I believe my ideas are good but my character development definitely lacking.
Hence, I wrote a nonfiction book: below)

When I studied sociology, it was “said” that if enough people want something there will be change:
In magic “Believe in the possibility of what you want to achieve and it will happen”
I used to tell would be witches to “put out” what you want to happen and not what you don’t want to happen;
From “Seth Speaks’ “You don’t stop wars by hating wars: you stop wars by loving peace”.
I have stopped practising what I preached in my old age.
It is so frustrating knowing that the multi nationals rule the world and the average mindless automaton sees humans as the only species that matters:
And believe what the media tells them.
In the same “long long ago” (I was at teacher’s college as a mature student.
Uni was free because Gough Whitlam was Prime Minister.)
I studied human development.
According to human development a child is able to think abstractly from age ten. (I googled and it “said” eleven or twelve).
Of course all my family are original thinkers and able to abstract:
No No No I am not biased 😛 😛 😛
Actually there are so many caring, intelligent, original thinkers one would expect us to make a difference?
I am changing back to my “positive thinking”
This was one of these attempts and still happening:
This was started in April 2018
Posting this again as a reminder 😀

Be kind and respectful of non human life forms 😀
This is the sci fi — Originally called “A Short Story About Healing The Blue Planet.”
This is the non fiction.
Please check out this non fiction book ![]()
I am not interested in converting anyone nor do I want attention or recognition (I am an introvert):
Nor is it the money: I get just over a dollar per book:
I just wanted to tell my story
If you follow the link then click on “learn more” above my not so recent photo you may read a free sample.
Blessed be
Be kind and respectful of non human life forms 😀

Humans make up 99% of the planets population. There are more than 7.7 billion of us and we continue to make all life forms extinct.
I had always hoped to be able to contribute to saving all non humans before I died. Doesn’t look very promising!
When I was a child I wondered what was wrong with me because I didn’t think like everyone else.
I didn’t understand why money was all that mattered:
Or that the only species that matters is humans.
My mother threatened to have me put in a mental institution because I objected to eating meat. It was easy to have someone certified insane back then.
I also didn’t understand racism or the fact that there was something wrong with people that weren’t heterosexual.
I argued with my peers at high school that there were double standards for women. At this time women had no rights and no status. Ones status came from one’s husband. We were not allowed to buy houses, property or businesses. Landlords would not rent to separated women. I had a government job working with computers that I had to give up because married women were not allowed to hold government jobs. Married women were not supposed to work.

What really got to me, was that all women were meant to be virgins and all men promiscuous. When I commented as a joke “How does that work?!” I was shouted down and told that it was the way it was meant to be.
I was in Women’s Lib in the 70’s: All we wanted was equal rights.
Things have now gone to ridiculous extremes.
I was also involved with Animal Lib and Greenpeace back when we thought that a few people could make a difference.
Sadly multinationals rule the world!
In 19882 the husband of one of my staff asked me to report that suckie calves were left to die of dehydration and starvation. I phoned the RSPCA and was called a liar and a trouble maker: I put something in writing but it was ignored
This still happens: I know people who work at the abattoirs and those who go to buy stock and was told that it happens to all newborns not just calves.
The friend who worked there said the drug companies requested this. And someone else told me that this was because hormones form in the newborns tissues when they die this way and these hormones are harvested.
I do my best to avoid supporting the meat industry: Drug companies: cosmetic companies and household product producers that test on animals: but it isn’t easy!
We as humans are progressively destroying every other life form on the planet.
https://populationmatters.org/
We are way beyond plague proportions.
“If all the insects left the planet the planet would die:
If all the humans left the planet the planet would thrive!” Anonymous?
Zero population growth would be a good idea.

These babies were run over a couple of days after I took this photo.
Look at the date on this photo!
It was 2012 and I was at the computer reading something about 2012 being the end of the world and thinking what a load of crap! — When —
2027 appeared on my computer screen in huge numbers.
No idea why. Some sort of error I guess:
But part of me tries to put a meaning to this:
As in is 2027 the end of the world?
I seriously doubt it but the way humans are going wont be too much longer before there are no resources left!!!!
In April 2018 a few of us started sending healing to the ecology at 2000 hours South Australian time every night. Join in if you care.
I wrote this short story as a satire on human arrogance and as “sympathetic magic” : Like all books and movies commenting on human’s destroying the planet it is only preaching to the converted.
Enjoy your day and please be kind and respectful to non human life forms.

I also “ask” for the world wide introduction of zero population growth.
Humans are way over plague proportions: Continually destroying the homes and food sources of other creatures:
Removing trees and vegetation.
To those of you who go into horror at this, it doesn’t mean you cannot have a child!
Re sending healing- It is your “intent” that matters, so send the healing to those issues that are important to you.

If the sun is shining where you are; when you have a the time ( presuming you exist in linear time 😛 ) go sit outside and read my very short non fiction book 😀
Amendment: As I don’t like being pushy, may I suggest you go sit outside and read my very short non fiction book: Not only will your read some true stories about clairvoyance, Wicca, past life regression and healing but you will learn somethings about the “olden days” .
Enjoy your day

What are angels!
NO IDEA!
So I Googled!
“An angel is generally a supernatural being found in various religions and mythologies. In Abrahamic religions and Zoroastrianism, angels are often depicted as benevolent celestial beings who act as intermediaries between God or Heaven and Humanity. Wikipedia”
I have no idea what an angel is but I see them as white light.
I don’t believe in a god nor heaven so I only have theories? Which may be utter crap 😛 In one of my sci fic short stories I use an analogy of this universe/reality being an holodeck programme and say angels are entities that live outside this reality but visit.
In this particular sci fi I think my ideas are good but I just don’t give enough depth to the characters, hence I never published it as a paper back. I also didn’t include any sex or violence: Well apart from culling seven billion humans 😛
I have communicated with “angels” for over forty years. And I am sceptical or maybe discerning is a better description these day about clairvoyance etc—
Wow —a good name for a web page 😛
What ever they/angels are they have a sense of humour.
In “The Craft” we either invoke the Lords of the Winds or the archangels: I tend to use the archangels.
In the early nineties when this so called “New Age” stuff started to become popular I read several articles where the archangel Michael was supposedly channelled. So I “asked” him about this and he said laughingly “Coz I can”! “And it’s my job!” “I am omnipresent”! This was actual clairaudience—so the words just flashed quickly. And I admit to not knowing if it was actually the archangel Michael answering me.
I work with my guides for clairvoyance and healing and I have had proof that they are real: Whether they are another aspect of my multidimensional being or someone just come to help I do not know.
In recent years I have been “told” to also work with my higher self: to whom I gave a name 😛
This isn’t spiritual oneupmanship. Detest such crap. Not into hierarchical structures:
Mankind’s downfall!?
(Googled)
“Hierarchy is a way to structure an organization using different levels of authority and a vertical link, or chain of command, between superior and subordinate levels of the organization. Higher levels control lower levels of the hierarchy. You can think of an organizational hierarchy as a pyramid.”
(I am editing a day later: I do know that hierarchical structures are necessary to our culture and efficient: There are way too many homo sapiens for communism to work. Hierarchy sadly effects how we see thing. We label some as inferior.)
Three of these photos, including the first one, were taken with a non digital camera at a full moon ritual at Encounter Bay at the beginning of this century.
The night the pictures were taken there was complete cloud cover so there was no moon light filtering through.
I was just clicking the camera to use up the film.
When I initially got the photos back I thought there was a camera fault. – Apparently not.
The interesting thing is that we do a spiral dance as part of the full moon ritual and there is a spiral in the photos.

The other photo is of my grandson: Taken quite a few years ago.
Photos with the sphere seem to be a common occurrence. Other people have shown me similar.
Re the photos taken at the full moon ritual I sent them to Janet Farrar: wife of the late Stewart Farrar: and her partner replied saying that they had similar.
(Off on a tangent here– In the 1980’s I filled out a questionnaire for one of Stewart Farrar’s books entitled “The Life and Times of a Modern Day Witch” I loaned my copy of this and as often happened with loaned books, it was never returned. Suffice to say I no longer lend books. I found a copy on Ebay only to be informed that the copy was too damaged and had gone to recycling. If you actually manage to read a copy of this book I am “Kate”.)
As a promotion I will give a free reading via email to anyone who purchases my non fiction book “The Clairvoyant Experiences of a Sceptic” Available in paperback: Or my sci fi short story now renamed as “Creating Utopia”: Only available as an E Book: Just send a recent photo of yourself and your given name to katscho@iinet.net.au. I can usually pick up auras from the photo and sometimes connect with those who have passed over. – I offered this on my last blog but still applys up to and including 13/8/18

I recorded this guided meditation for a psychic development group that I was running, at participants request 😀
I have included it before in “A Video And An Audio”.
I have recently received positive feed about about the meditation so am posting it separately.

Maslow’s Hierachy

This was brought to my attention in the 1970’s when I was at teacher’s college.
The late Wayne Dyer had Maslow as a lecturer.
A week ago, I was watching an early episode of the TV show “New Tricks” where one of the “villains” was bragging about reaching “Self-actualization” on Maslow’s Hierarchy.
I thought of putting a post on Facebook or my blog saying that I had achieved this but then thought “No people will think that I am bragging!” An attitude that means I haven’t achieved self-actualization because if I had I wouldn’t care what people thought 😛
But now that I have almost achieved three score years and ten I look back on my life and feel that I have done my best to be true to my ideals.

When I was younger I believed a few people could make a difference. Although it is sad that multinationals rule the world and the environmentalist groups that I belonged to have become impotent bureaucracies we the “Flower Power” generation HAVE made a difference.
I re-watched the remake of “The Day The Earth Stood Still” last night and then started to watch Avatar again but fell asleep. Sadly, these movies only preach to the converted.
On a positive note the younger generation are aware and concerned about the environment.
Many of us “Flower Power generation” ( and younger people) still do what we can in the microcosm to help the environment.
One of the problems now is that there are just too many humans!?
Blessed be

This is a re blog, altered slightly. Previous blog was called “Trees”
A neighbour recently told me with pride. “I don’t have leaves in my driveway!’
And another neighbour who has now moved used to vacuum the concrete. This man worked for “Trees For Life”. Which reinforces my belief that these now impotent environmental groups are populated by people who think its trendy. His property was mostly concrete and gravel: Not a tree insight!
I am opposed to absolute ideologies (fascism) so I do not impose my ideas on others.
But I am tired of others imposing their views on me.
I am sick of people telling me to get rid of trees.
Trees are essential for the air and soil.
Real-estate development removes millions of trees destroying the homes and food source of other life forms and effecting both the soil and air.
So instead of chopping down trees lets bring in harsher penalties for arsonists.
And build our homes in harmony with the environment.
Oops I forgot: People believe that cultures that live in harmony with the environment and don’t worship money are primitive and therefore inferior. I am probably considered “white trash” because of my beliefs.
I no longer belong to “Trees for Life” because they are now just an impotent bureaucracy.
Not only do the multinationals rule the world they have the masses “brain washed”.
Hug a tree today 😀

And Blessed Be

This link takes you to my book which is now in paperback.
Readings are $60 (Australian) and I am able to see and communicate with those who have passed over even though it is “on line”

Thought that I may make a lollipop sign with the above picture: taken when I was 46: So that people know it is still me.
