The Ways of Magick: Rituals, Spells and the Connection to Nature   In this episode of Practically Magic, Courtney Pearl, a pagan witch and spiritualist, discusses the three aspects of spells: words, will, and the 'way'. She elaborates on how to manifest things by focusing energies through rituals and practices. Using the myth of Arianrhod from Welsh mythology as an example, she emphasizes that 'spells' are about changing ourselves and not other people. The episode also covers the significance of connecting with nature, loving oneself, and how crystals can be used in rituals.
