Oh no. No…no….no….no….
This isn't real, fortunately. But the description unfortunately rings a little too true in describing the effects on the minds of believers. Don't fear the Retrograde, y'all! It's only an astronomical optical illusion.* (*Except when it comes to the MTA. And my cell...
More things happening at this Summer Solstice….
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 and heavy on...
HOLY HELLZ! IT’S THE BABA!
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 Grandmother." The Baba...
Strawberry Full Moon! (Sneak Peek into my new online Spellcraft class!)
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 cameo. Unfortunately,...
Cosmic Chat with Amelia Quint! (Plus a candle for Troutdale, OR)
Look at this! This month, I was profiled on Amelia Quint's Cosmic Chat! As you can probably guess, my Scorpio Moon is getting a total rise out of all the attention from a single blog post. Or maybe that's my Venus in Leo.....can't decide. Amelia and I first became...
Wild Rides: Renegades on Wheels, Wind Power, and Priesting for the Gods
I've been of a blog-slut these days and have cheated on this one more than once recently. 😉 A Wild Ride.... On Friday, an interview I conducted with Jane Hash--a Pagan Renegade on Wheels and the self-described "Politically-incorrect voice for the unheard" ran in The...
Readings for Me: What’s So Frustrating?
In my (mostly) nightly meditations, I pull a card to reflect upon. Sometimes more than one. Earlier this week, I used Tarot of the Sidhe by Emily Carding. I pulled this card the other day in my own reading. "Winter's Bite." Awesome. The "She Who Strives Too Hard When...
Sick Cats and Windfarms
I've been blogging in a couple of other places. The first one at Witches and Pagans, about an experience Boyfriend and I had which had me digging into some deep places to find compassion. The second is at the blog for Pagan Environmental Council of NYC. Come see what...
Woo Who?
I used to have a blog call "A Girl Called Woo." I left it for various reasons, but one of which is because I was so very sick of the term "Woo Woo." I named the blog after it to be ironic, but now I'd rather be accurate than clever. Amelia Quint aka "The Midheaven,"...
The 33% Rule: Why Things Might Happen. (Or else, it’s just Aliens. Again.)
When Bad Things Happen, we humans look for a reason. Which God did we piss off today? What horrid thing did we do in a past life to warrant such a travesty in this one? Maybe this whole thing is a present from a sadistic Teacher-In-The-Sky who simply wants us to learn...
Bealtaine!
May Day... Commonly mispronounced in the USA as "BELL-TAYNE," when the correct pronunciation is more like "BEE-ELL-TIN-UH." I think. Anyway....back in the day, this was a good time for baby-making. If women could get pregnant at Bealtaine, they could work the fields...
Searchlight Spell for Nigeria
A "Searchlight Spell" I made for Nigeria. I charged this crystal on the Full Moon on the 2012 Winter Solstice. It was so bright and beautiful that night--shining light into darkness is the theme at Winter Solstice. The people of Nigeria could use that light in this...
