Meet Alden Astero
Alden is the voice behind Mage’s Circle – a modern mystic, intuitive energy worker, and lifelong seeker of truth. Through each post, Alden explores the sacred and the strange, offering grounded spiritual tools for everyday transformation.
Writing under a pen name allows Alden to protect their personal energy, maintain sacred privacy, and keep the focus where it belongs: on the magic itself. In honoring this boundary, Mage’s Circle remains a sanctuary – for both its keeper and all who wander in.
Tools for Your Practice
Starting your magical journey? These are a few beginner-friendly tools I love and recommend for enhancing your own rituals and energy work.
WILD UNKNOWN TAROT
by Kim Krans
This was my very first tarot deck, gifted to me by a friend who could tell I was into witchy stuff before I even really came out of the broom closet to anyone. The deck blends brilliant use of color with beautiful animal illustration to create a stunning addition to your magical toolbox.
THE GREEN WITCH
by Arin Murphy-Hiscock
Something I wish I’d explored earlier in my craft is the vibrant and alive world of herbology and plant-magic. This book will help you gain a deeper respect for and understanding of the magical uses and associations of plants, herbs, essential oils, and more.
WITCHY STARTER KIT
by SHYSHINY
Have you ever stood in a crystal store, herb shop, or metaphysical business and thought to yourself “I don’t know what to get… I wish there was some sort of magic alter starter kit.” Well, as it turns out, there is! This one hits that sweet spot between affordable and abundant.
