Practitioner and teacher of natural magic, Dr. Evelyn Paglini, offered her insights on the state of the world, forecasts for weather, economy, and earth changes, as well as tools for coping with what lies ahead. Paglini said her predictions often show up as images on the "screen of [her] mind" whenever she calls upon the elements or peers into the future for her clients.

According to Paglini, there will be escalating devastation as we approach the year 2012. She expects the East Coast of the US to suffer dramatic flooding, while California and several other states contend with deliberately set fires. Paglini senses a home-grown terrorist organization behind the forthcoming conflagrations. Those residing in the Golden State should also plan to be hit by two "strong earthquakes" in the next 12 months, she revealed.

Paglini does not see the economy improving for another 18 months or so, and recommended people tighten their financial belts, start home-based businesses and invest in commodities, such as gold, silver, and palladium. On the international front, she warned against China's sinister plans for America, "the war next door" with Mexico, and Iran's potential move against another country.

Paglini believes magic can be used to combat much of the evil she has foreseen, as well as protect against psychic attack and improve one's daily life. Everyone can tap into nature and the elements, and use those forces to influence, manipulate, or change things, she explained, noting that spells are only as powerful as the practitioner. She also delved into cleansing and protection rituals, demon possession, reincarnation, and the magical side of herbs, suggesting people use bayberry and mugwort to attract wealth and success.
