Ways of Magic & Spellcraft - Druid Craft 101
Magic isn’t just spells—it’s work. Are you ready for the true craft of Druidic spellcasting?
In this episode of Druidcraft 101, hosts Charlie and Brian explore the ways of magic and spellcraft from a Druidic perspective, emphasizing practical magic, alchemical transformation, and the importance of preparation. They discuss the three types of magic in Druidcraft: questing magic (seeking knowledge and wisdom), making magic (bringing ideas into reality), and changing magic (altering the world around us). The hosts highlight the dangers of reckless spellcraft, sharing personal anecdotes about the unintended consequences of improperly directed magic. They stress that magic requires discipline, balance, and an understanding of natural rhythms, rather than just focusing on instant results.
Throughout the episode, they weave in creation spirituality, Druidic teachings, and personal experiences, reinforcing that magic is work and requires thoughtful engagement. The discussion also covers the importance of intuition, ethical spellcasting, and the interplay of inspiration and wisdom in magical practice.
Faith Acts & The Law of Resonance - Druid Craft 101
Is magic just a miracle by another name? Jesus taught magic—let’s talk about faith, ritual, and resonance!
In this episode, Charlie and Brian, Christopagan Druids, explore the historical debate on magic vs. miracles, tracing the origins of the term "magic" in ancient Greece. They discuss how faith, intention, and ritual work intersect in both religious and magical practices, challenging the common misconception that magic is merely wishful thinking.
A key focus is the parable of the mustard seed from Matthew 17, which is often misunderstood. Rather than emphasizing the size of faith, the passage highlights faith’s potential for prodigious growth when nurtured with spiritual and ritual discipline. Jesus himself practiced what could be considered magic, teaching his disciples the importance of prayer, fasting, and ritual in achieving transformation.
Charlie and Brian introduce the Law of Resonance, contrasting it with the flawed concept of the Law of Attraction. Resonance, they argue, is about aligning with specific energies through faith and intentionality—what you put into the universe shapes what you receive. Misaligned or desperate intentions, especially in magic, can backfire, as seen in personal anecdotes about unintended financial consequences.
They also delve into Paul’s mystical teachings in Romans 14, arguing that Paul’s approach to faith aligns with magical practice—stating that “whatever is not of faith is sin,” meaning our belief systems shape our reality and determine spiritual resonance. Paul, they suggest, was a practitioner of Merkava mysticism, a form of Jewish esoteric tradition.
Prayer Weaving & Spellcraft - Druid Craft 101
Are spells just prayers for pagans? Discover the art of prayer weaving and everyday magic!
In this episode of Creation’s Paths, Charlie and Brian explore the relationship between prayer, spell work, and ritual in Christopagan Druidry. Drawing from Druidcraft by Philip Carr-Gomm, they define the differences between wishing, praying, and spellcasting, emphasizing how intention, correspondences, and ritualized repetition transform prayer into spellwork. Charlie introduces prayer weaving, a practice that blends praise, gratitude, and petition into a cohesive spiritual expression, while Brian demonstrates spellcraft in everyday life—using a chicken wing dinner as an example of magical intention, synchronicity, and manifestation. They highlight the importance of re-enchanting daily life and encourage listeners to embrace small-scale magic to build confidence for larger workings.
Transforming Your Self Through Alchemical Magic, Full Moon, via-Transformativa Druid Craft 10
Do people change? Absolutely. The real question is: Are you ready to transform yourself?
In a world that tells us "people don't change," Charlie and Brian, Christopagan Druids, passionately explore the transformative power of personal change through alchemical magic in their latest Druidcraft 101 episode. Highlighting real-life experiences, they share how intentional change—whether overcoming anger issues or managing ADHD—is achievable through meditation, mindfulness practices, Stoicism, and sublimation. Discover practical methods like visualization meditations, journaling, physical activities, and daily affirmations that empower lasting transformation. Dive into the alchemy of personal growth and learn how you can authentically rewrite your own narrative.
Understanding Ritual & Ceremony - Druid Craft 101
Are rituals just fancy prayers? Or is there more? Let’s uncover the power of ceremony and ritual!
In this episode of Creation’s Paths, Charlie and Brian explore the key differences between ritual and ceremony, emphasizing their significance in both spiritual practice and daily life. Drawing from Linda Neal’s The Power of Ceremony, they discuss how ceremony is about connection—linking participants to the divine, nature, or community—while ritual is an intentional act of focused energy, often for achieving a specific goal.
They also challenge common misconceptions, such as the belief that ritual is empty repetition, and argue that ritualistic elements exist even in mainstream traditions like church services, sports fandoms, and national pledges. The episode encourages listeners to rethink their relationship with sacred practices, recognizing the magic that already permeates everyday life.
Through personal anecdotes, historical examples, and insights from Druidry and Christopaganism, Charlie and Brian illuminate how embracing rituals and ceremonies can provide meaning, purpose, and deeper spiritual connection.
