This week, we take on armchair philosophers and discuss our own philosophies about magic. The best part about being witches is that we can have our own opinions, and everyone is right for themselves. Our collective reading this week comes from the Skele-Tarot deck, and we drew the Magician reversed.  The nearest lunar phase to us comes on May 27th, which is the New Moon in Gemini.
