Practical magic

Everyone appreciates the magic of Christmas – whether it’s the twinkling decorations, the tempting foodie treats, or just the fact that we get to spend time with our nearest and dearest. So why not spare a magical thought or two for those who have no-one or are struggling at this time of year? A simple spell can make all the difference. Light a candle, ask the angels and the spirits of the season to assist. Visualise a ray of golden light flowing from your heart, expanding in all directions, to flood the earth with loving energy. Say: ‘May these loving rays reach all in need and sow the seeds for happiness!’
