The Second House

As part of an online spiritual circle that I belong to, our theme this year is exploring the self through the lens of Astrology, the snapshot of the stars at the moment of birth that creates our own unique cosmic fingerprint. This month we are exploring the second house, the house of worth and wealth.

The Sacred We

It’s the day after our April Sisters of the Moon circle, and this month was a special gathering. While our theme was the archetype of the Slavic goddess Lada, we were honoring another special goddess - our sister & friend, Jenny Jeck. She left us suddenly and unexpectedly in March (on the full Blood Moon and lunar eclipse, of course - if she was going to leave, she was going to do it with flair) and she left a gaping hole in our little community.

Meeting the Enchantress

In our February Nature’s Coven, we journeyed with the goddess Estsantalehi, the Dine/Navajo sky goddess of change and time. She is always changing - she is young in the summer and old in the winter. It is said that as she ages, she walks into the direction of the rising sun, where she is met with her younger self and is renewed. She is the Turquoise Woman who took the sun as her husband.

What's In a Word

My friend and I were having lunch recently and we started talking about the Pagan wheel of the year and its celebrations, and how wonderful it is that there are more and more women’s circles cropping up that celebrate these ancient folk traditions. She mentioned that she has a little trouble exploring these practices because they are often associated with the word WITCH.

Low Water Holiday

Christmas Day.

It was actually a tough day for me as I spent it alone. Certainly, this was not my first holiday spent alone, and I actually enjoy my own company, but this year felt...harder.

A Matter of Death & Life

It’s my favorite time of year - everything is dying!

Okay, maybe that seems like a really morbid thought, but hear me out. Just this past weekend we celebrated Samhain/Halloween, All Souls’ Day, and Dia de los Muertos, AND a new moon in Scorpio. Add to this festive weekend the fact that we are entering the Fall season in the Northern hemisphere, and you can see that death appears to be the theme of the season. There is a lot of juiciness to unpack here, and the season beckons us to slow down and explore this season with intention and reverence.

Slow Your Roll...Before You Roll Your Ankle

It’s beginning to get almost comical the number of times that the Universe has given me the message to “slow down” this year. As an air sign, first born, and fire constitution - I have no idea what “slow” means. My brain is forever moving at the speed of light and for some strange reason I must feel compelled to get my body to keep up. But here’s the thing - the Universe will get you to heed it’s messages one way or another.
