This month's talky bit recorded at the Pagan Federation Devon and Cornwall

conference in March. It features a talk given by Levanna Morgan, all about the magical use of mirrors.

Now, Lavana is a past regional coordinator for the Pagan Federation and has been on the

organising team of that conference for as long as I have

been going and that is a long time. She has a vast knowledge of the craft and of magic and this is

reflected, reflected. Do you see what I did there? Reflected in this talk. It's quite long but as you'll

listen, you'll hear that it's all brilliant information and

story. So I left the talk in its entirety. So, light that incense, make that brew, and be prepared

to look into the witch's mirror.

The Talking Bit. I'm going to talk about the use of mirrors in magic, but more properly, I'm going to talk about the use of mirrors in my own magic.

And so, here's a lovely mirror that was given to me by a friend Maya and I'm going

to talk about how one might use mirrors in one's own magical practice most of what I'm saying is about personal experience, so I hope

it chimes with yours. And some of the things that I'm going to talk about are condensed from a

chapter I wrote for this anthology of things on traditional witchcraft.

It's called Hands of Apostasy.
