Witch Sandy Cristel to open new shop and healing centre in Lytchett Minster


VISITORS could find themselves truly spellbound by the latest offering in Lytchett Minster.

This is because witch Sandy Cristel officially opens her new shop and healing centre at the village’s Courtyard Centre tomorrow.

Sandy, who describes herself as a traditional witch, will be on hand to offer a range of alternative services, including tailor-made spells, alternative healing and readings.

“Being a traditional witch, I embrace and utilise the natural forces of the universe, ensuring a balance and equilibrium in my work,” explained Sandy.

She is confident her therapies can complement mainstream treatments for a range of ailments and problems Sandy, who uses traditional methods of healing passed down through her family, has also studied Shamanic Ama Deus and Kundelini Reiki healing.

And her shop boasts a range of witchy curios and unique gifts for those looking for something out of the ordinary.

Sandy said: “I have been a witch all my life and it is about time that we came out of the shadows and shared some of our knowledge.

“The difference between my path and a wiccan ‘white’ witch is that I do not believe that energy or life can be sustained on only positive energy.

“Nature and the universe itself does not and cannot even exist this way,” she added.

“Negative energy is not always bad nor harmful, it is simply necessary – there has to be balance.”

Sandy says she never casts the same spell twice – instead tailoring everything to the specific individual.

She insisted: “You should not feel guilty for asking the universe for help.

“The energy is all around us and is there for us to tap into it to enrich our lives and help to mold our future on the path we desire.”

Could be tempted to have a look (out of curiosity).

I wonder if Sandy could cast a spell on Cllr Macloughlin? Maybe something to do with His Laptop Forever Crashing, or maybe Eternal Wrist Strain...

When I grew up a few hundred years ago people like this (and Mystic Meg) were burnt at the stake.
Now they are free to open shops!
Still. I guess that's "progress" for you.

Witchcraft or Wicca is the true religion of this land. Christianity had to oppress it by branding the practitioners as evil so the Church could impose its will on the population of Britain. Good luck to Sandy, I will be visiting her shop.

Is she able to translate any of that into English?!

(handy hint: anything involving 'positive energy' and 'negative energy' is nonsense)

No most of them were tied to a ducking stool and held under water, where they drowned; if they managed to survive it was taken as prove that their magic powers had saved them and they were even more quickly disposed of!
Many poor women who had no knowledge of Wicca let alone practice it were disposed off simple because they had upset some local person who then accused them of witchcraft.

In Britain, Heretics were burned at the stake whereas Witches were hung or drowned. Midwives and the village healers were also murdered during the Witch hunts. It was on the whole a very anti-woman occurrence although 25% of the victims were men.
