called on for assistance as often as deities. There are som e entijustice, love, m agic (general, fairy, m oon, solar), prosperity, ties that I chose to place in the “ Magical Beings and S p irits” su b protection (ofw om en), romance
section because my sources were split between calling them
gods and spirits. These are the groups such as the Fates, Norns,
Penates, and Lares. They are usually addressed collectively rather
than by individual within a group, and so this subsection seemed
like the right place to put them.
Expanding from the som ewhat standard use o f candles and
figurines, correspondences help broaden our approach to deities
and other beings. An herb or rune m ight provide a more meaningful touchstone to connect with them while enriching our experiences and fine-tuning our intentions.
