"Ask Aunty Witch" is a sort of metaphysical advice column.
The concept of "aunty witch" had a rather humourous start.
My former roomate and long time Wiccan friend coined me aunty witch on behalf of her dog one day as I sat minding my own business
at the kitchen table. Bridgit the dog came and sat next to me, wagging her tail and looking intently at my plate. My friend
said (speaking for the dog), "I love you aunty witch... can I have your steak?" From that day on the nickname just caught
on. So I've taken the idea to a whole new level and decided to start a column and make some practical use of my nick-name.
I
get a lot of questions about Wicca and many other topics from some of my clients and students.
Are you a parent concerned
about your childrens participation in Wicca? Do you have questions or concerns about something you have experienced? Are
you unsure about a workshop, group or teacher you are considering participating in ritual with? Do you have questions about
right or left hand path magic? Do you have technical or ethical questions about rituals you might be doing or planning do?
Nothing is off limits.
The only rules are you must be respectful or I will not give you the time of day. Flamers
are not welcome.
If you have a question about Wicca, Occultism, Metaphysics in general or anything else feel free to send me

If you wish for the question to remain anonymous please indicate so, otherwise I will post the name of the querent. Also if
you wish for the discussion to remain private that is an option too and I will not post it if you make a request for confidentiality.
