Mōrena Team Witchy,

This morning has consisted of going room to room leaving all the lights on and walking off to do something I can't even remember what it is I'm actually doing.

Fantastic little new moon energy ✨️

Happy Wednesday 😊

Up early this morning and started the day with the ancestors.

Writing down some stories for future conversations to be had with my daughters.

One day I'll join our ancestors and I'll become a story to be shared with the future generations.

Happy Monday 😊

Introducing who I'd call the 2 I C or second in command when working alongside Petra.

A reading done by my dear friend Anne Bland.

I was introduced to "Latekacha" many many years ago.

I've shared that reading with you all as even I in my early years I didn't feel worthy of the gifts that have been bestowed on me.

Moral of the story?

Sometimes we have to do a lot of learning, loving, healing and letting go in order to return back to what you've always known you are ;)

Happy Thursday

So yesterday we visited our local St Vinnies store and this little dolly was in the "free" box.

I fell in love with her and she now has a new home and will be given a new life which will be revealed at a later date.

I've always loved dollies, but not just any dolls, ones that catch my eye and we connect ;)

She will be given a nice wash and will be blessed with a name.

Happy Tuesday 😊

Life is about feeling the energy.

My lesson is to continue to be aware of the energies of others and how it can impact us.

Always good to cleanse your space and enhance the good energy/vibrations.

As we get closer to the Ilona Healing Festival, my energies are shifting as I feel my creative spark coming to life.

Gold gold entry. Cash only event.
Joanne will be joining us again this year.

Kia ora, I’m Joanne also known as Mystikal Witchy, a spiritual practitioner, reader, and seeker who has been walking this path since the early 1990s.

My journey began in Dargaville, where I joined a local spiritual group that met weekly to learn, share, and welcome guest speakers. It was there that I met two remarkable women, Mary and her daughter Gaye. Mary introduced me to the art of card readings, while Gaye — a nurse, world traveler, and theology student — taught me to open all of my senses and explore the depth of spiritual practices. Through her guidance, I learned about chakras, pendulums, crystals, scrying, astrology, candle readings, tea leaf readings, and more.

By 1993, I naturally gravitated toward elemental magik, herbal lore, and energy work. These became my foundation, practices I have continued to strengthen alongside card readings over the years.

Another important moment on my path came when I met Anne Bland, who introduced me to my spirit guide, Petra. Since then, Petra has been my constant companion, and it is through her that the messages I share in my readings are received.

Today, I have returned to readings with a renewed sense of purpose and have begun weaving spellwork back into my practice. Along this journey, I have been blessed to meet many inspiring witches and healers, including the wonderful Paula Wedo of Dragonspace, who creates magical witchy products and shares her own wisdom through readings.

I am deeply grateful for the teachers, guides, and kindred spirits who have shaped my journey. My work now is dedicated to sharing those gifts — readings, magik, and energy practices — to help others find clarity, healing, and connection on their own paths.

Mōrena Team Witchy,

Upon reflection, a lot has happened since last months lunar eclipse.

There are a few things that I need to let go of in my life, in order to move on.

Happy full moon blessings people.

I highly recommend following Donna Kerridge. I've been fortunate enough to attend a few of her wānanga.
