The Witch's Corner: Book of Shadows

From the first spell 17-year-old Amythyst cast in the basement of her grandmother's house, to the first tarot deck that called her name, she knew that her direction in life and her spiritual path would be unique and unconventional.

Her life has gone through numerous transformations, from care-free South Dakota horse woman, to home-schooling mother of seven, to first-time published author at 50. She went on to write ten more books, one becoming a best seller. She released her eleventh book in 2023.

Amythyst was born in Los Angeles CA, raised in South Dakota, transplanted in mid-life to Nebraska to rear six of her children, and in her 60s she migrated to Arizona and set up house 40 miles from Phoenix. As her life has proven, the transformations never end but keep evolving, there's new experiences around every corner, and life is a fresh and unpredictable adventure at every stage.

Amythyst Raine is a Best-Selling author of metaphysical books on tarot and intuitive reading, witchcraft, Wicca, paganism, women's mysteries, new-age spirituality, the pagan Goddess, gray magic, and green witchcraft.

Amythyst is also the author of a new book that is a whole new genre for her. It's all about relationships: "Chronicles of a Madd Housewife: It's Not You, It's Me", now available @ Amazon.

She's been published by Rockridge Press; Moon Books (John Hunt Publishing); Dodona Books (John Hunt Publishing), Amazon & Pink Orchid Publishing; and Labyrinth House Publishing.

Amythyst is a happy heathen living among the ley lines of Arizona.

There's been a lot of "water under the bridge" where this couple is concerned. There has been broken promises; inconsistent patterns of behavior; and actions with some pretty questionable motives. There has also been consistent squabbling and a whole period of time of confrontations and arguments, leading to a terrible and very negative atmosphere, which doesn't sound like something that would be very enjoyable to be living with.

In the end, it's going to be all about someone finding a way to re-establish a healthy balance in their lives. It's going to be all about someone being able to pull themselves out from under a negative set of circumstances to set themselves up for a healthier lifestyle, a healthier relationship, or a new and healthy solitary existence.

As a witness to an older set of morals and an older style of living, I can see where we need to look at situations like this from a fresh new perspective. In my grandmother's day, a married or committed couple stayed together no matter what, and this resulted in some pretty miserable lives, as I can attest to.

My grandmother divorced a man in the 1960s to escape an abusive relationship, only to remarry him months later due to extreme societal and familial pressure. It was as big a mistake the second time as it was the first time.

I'm hoping that we live in a less judgemental era, and I'd like to think that we do. But you know what? I still listen to disparaging things said about women who have decided to end a marriage or a committed relationship here in the 21st century.

We've come a long way, but we still have a long way to go.

If this reading is for you, and you find yourself in an abusive relationship, or even simply an unhappy relationship, do not hesitate to exit this set of circumstances. Do not allow yourself to be pressured to stay where you are not happy in a situation that is not healthy for you.
