Venus and Mercury are FINALLY out of Retrograde and it is ABOUT. DAMN. TIME.
Between the Microsoft outage, the worst traffic ever, and packages getting screwed up at my condo complex…those two are NEVER allowed out of the house together EVER AGAIN.
But anyway…happy Friday the 13th! I hope you are keeping cozy and staying spooky. Hermit season for me really doesn’t hit until after Christmas, and keeps going until February, so I am still out doing all the Magick.
I’m hosting an in-person event for my new book in Portland, OR next weekend, but I’m also talking Dangerous Goddesses virtually this weekend. Later this month, I’ll be hosting a virtual class on The Morrigan, and at the end of the month I’m heading north to Vancouver, BC to discuss Hekate and more, in-person!
Read on. I hope to see you at one (or all!) of these.

Join Me At The Global Pagan Summit (Virtual Event)
I am thrilled to be a part of this dynamic, diverse, and beautifully international Summit. It’s only $25 and there are DOZENS of workshops to choose from. Other presenters include Laura Tempest Zakroff, Ivo Dominguez, Jr., M. Isidora Forrest, Sorita d’Este, and many, many more. My workshop is my wildly popular The Dangerous Goddess and I’d love to have you there.
A Tough Goddess for Tough Times (Virtual Class)
Oh yes, I did my fair share of celebrating after the Blue Tuesday. But I also recalled the Morrigan’s words at the end of the Cath Maige Tuired. This myth has been a reminder to me that victory is a moment, not an end. Even in the most victorious moments, there is still work to be done and we cannot grow complacent.
This is why I created a new class:
$22 plus fees and taxes where applicable.
Tough times call for tough Goddesses.
The Morrigan, a fearsome Irish goddess, is known for prophecy, warfare, and death, but also for calling out those who abuse power, supporting her community, and changing the world. Join me (author of The Morrigan: Celtic Goddess of Magick and MIght) as we explore the myths of the Morrigan in which she stands up to oppressive forces and uses her mind and voice to change terrifying circumstances.
This virtual class will include personal work for how attendees can connect with The Morrigan to address oppression and challenging circumstances in their own lives.
Virtual. Closed Captioned. Recorded.

“A life-changing experience! The community made, questions clarified, and insight gained was immeasurable. I feel more connected with myself, with The Morrigan, and with the work that is mine to do.” ~2024 Student

Dangerous Goddesses: Brigid, Hekate, and The Morrigan
🗓️ Dates: November 27, 2026
Time: 5:30 p.m.
📍Location: Banyen Books & Sound | 3608 W. 4th Ave
💰Cost: FREE.
Books will be available for sale and signing at this event.
When is a goddess bad, good, or misunderstood? What if a goddess is a little bit of each? Can a fertility goddess be vengeful? Would a death goddess offer comfort? Contemporary goddess worship is quick to label goddesses as “dark” or “light,” without considering the nuances and context of the era from which they originated. By looking at the powerful contradictions within Brigid, Hekate, and The Morrigan, we will explore the “scarier” parts of these three goddesses, and discuss the importance of becoming comfortable with these aspects both in the goddesses and in ourselves.

Hekate: Goddess of Witches
🗓️ Date: November 28, 2026
Time: 1:00 p.m. PST

Hekate is one of the most popular goddesses in modern Paganism. Frequently known as a Goddess of ghosts, this liminal entity is also a patroness of fertility, healing, the cosmos, but most of all, Witchcraft.
This class explores the various attributes of Hekate, history and mythology, and also how she can help Witches today.
Event will include a ritual where participants can connect with Hekate and invite her into their own Magickal practice.
