I loved the first of the Good Witch movies, and I’ve liked the three that have come since. I just finished watching the latest installment. There’s something about those movies, and about Cassie that just makes you feel like magick is really possible. Of course, that’s the point, and they do it well. Every time I watch a new installment in the series, it renews my desire to bring that kind of love and happiness into my own life.

The trouble is, with the world seeming so bad all around us, all the trials we face each day, it can be hard to believe that there is even any good in the world, much less any magick. However, there are times in life when you see the proof, and at least for a time, your heart tries to cling to it and make it last. I think we all could, we just let everyone else’s negativity bring us down and steal that joy from us.

I can tell you, I wish I had a Cassie Nightingale in my life. Someone with that kind of pure heart and optimism, but not blind to reality in the least. Imagine, someone who could make you feel that good, and always gently shift you in the right direction to get the best out of your life. Alas, I haven’t met that kind of good witch. However, that doesn’t stop me from trying to infuse those characteristics into myself. I’m always striving to hear my intuition and wipe away the grimy negativity that keeps me from seeing the world in a better light.

Today is my birthday, and Halloween, so it seems there’s no better time to really start thinking about getting my life back on track. And there’s certainly nothing wrong with wanting some magick in my life.
