and murder. When the evidence becomes overwhelming,
When author Rich Newman first arrives at the battered doublewide trailer deep in the Mississippi Delta,
it’s clear that this is no ordinary haunting. Called from Memphis to assist a local ghost hunting team,
long-buried memories from Newman’s own past come back to haunt him—memories he’d rather forget. Collecting physical evidence,
researching the violent history of the property,
Newman’s investigation of the Martin house has become his most terrifying and mysterious case. What starts out as a malicious assault manifesting as deep rumbling sounds quickly spirals into a story of obsession,
and sorting through the spiritual implications of demons
peace and harmony out-
lined here, food is the best for inducing a personal inner change. Each of the magical practices presented however,
have their own plusses and minuses and you will probably
develop personal affinities for one or two methods over
another. Remember that harmony and peace are gentle
magical intentions; no force required. If the environment
is too heavy with negativity, you should probably cleanse
the area first in order to create a “blank” space that you can then fill with peaceful energy. This will create a stronger sense of peace and harmony.

healing
healing is a fantastic magical practice. It really is awe-
inspiring to magically heal someone of illness or
speed the healing of injury. The Witches’ theory of illness is that illness is caused by imbalance. This seems to be
confirmed to some degree by modern science since it is
now believed that chemical imbalances in the brain can
create mental disorders and that other bodily imbalances
create blockages, illnesses and disorders; everything from depression to gall bladder issues to certain cancers, etc.
Witches are taught in the practice of magical healing that we are sending energy to heal the Astral Body which then
filters down to the physical body and helps it to heal itself.
The body alone is an incredibly wonderful organ-
ism that continually heals itself everyday. New cells are
born every minute of the day. Old cells wither and die

and make room for the new. We filter out all of the waste
and excess and renew ourselves constantly. When it is
overwhelmed by too great an amount of illness however,
it cannot battle back from it alone and needs our assis-
tance to become whole once more. That’s where modern
medicine and our own practice of magical healing come
in; no matter what practice (modern medicine or healing
magic) is employed, it works by empowering the body’s
own healing abilities to restore itself. Sometimes, in harsh cases (such as chemotherapy) modern medicine employs
destructive means in order to destroy the illness and then the body is allowed to resume its own restoration process.
For the most part, magical healing methods involve only the restorative techniques to allow the body to return to a state of wholeness. These are the ones recom-
mended and practiced by myself and anyone else I know.
It must also be stated that magical healing is not a sub-
stitute for modern medical attention (or vice versa, for
that matter); they should each be used for their respective good points and also, for each to offset what the other
one lacks. Witches have never had a disdain for conven-
tional medicine; we use what works! We use magic AND
science together with the understanding that magic IS
a science in itself and that each is a part of the greater whole. The colors I use in magical healing are white, for
universal energy to be sent wherever it needs to go, such
as when the actual cause of the illness may be unknown;
light blue, as specific healing energy, sent to an injured

body part or when the cause of the illness is known (like
the flu) and red-orange as energy for critical healing, sent for severe illnesses and to help mend broken bones or
wounds. There are many magical means to speed heal-
ing; from brews and potions to magic oils to special foods and luckily, a large portion of the ingredients we need are readily available at the grocery store.

Healing; what a fabulous use of a Witches’ brew! As I said
