June is one of my craziest months–between the Mermaid Parade and Pride weekend, this Witch doesn’t sleep from Memorial Day until July. On top of all of that, yesterday was my Coven’s Litha (Summer Solstice) rite. Many of our rites are highly ecstatic...
When I was a little girl, an incredible librarian at my elementary school read us stories of the Baba Yaga: the scary Witch-lady living on the edge of the forest in Russian and Ukranian folklore. The (mostly) direct translation here is “Little...
It’s the Strawberry Full Moon! The Full Moon in June is labeled this way because in this part of the world (North America), the strawberries are finally ripe! It’s true–last Saturday at our Farmer’s Market, the beautiful red berries made a...
