I have had several opportunities as of late to work with people who have natural or organic ways of doing something, whether that is running energy, channeling, or intuitive readings; people who have decided to seek out formal training in something they are already doing. I always support this. Having the book learning, knowing the…

Totem Visitation: Peacock
I was driving home from a client on Tuesday and standing on the double yellow line, like he was waiting for me, was a glorious peacock. I told him to get out of the road, and he crossed (left to right) behind me. I drive that route several times a week, and I have never…
All the Introspection Ever
I posted the other day about Venus Retrograde and how that’s affecting us. It’s just one piece of the puzzle though. * Saturn has been retrograde since mid-March, and will station direct at the beginning of August. * Pluto has been retrograde since mid-April. * Neptune and Chiron both went retrograde last month. * Uranus…
Venus Retrograde
I talk about Mercury Retrograde all the time. To be fair, it’s a frequent occurrence, and it gets a lot of negative press. Other planets retrograde, too, though. We have been in the pre-shadow of Venus Retrograde for a few weeks. As we get closer to the event, its influence gets stronger (it starts Saturday)….
Close Encounters with Coyote
Crossroads magic is an interesting practice, and I suspect each person approaches it somewhat differently. Crossroads are one of those places the Scots call Thin Spots – places where the veil is thin. For me, crossroads are an opportunity to create goodwill with the spirits, and to make the occasional entreaties. I don’t tend to…
Wakey-wakey, lil Sun…
SpaceWeather informs me: NOAA forecasters have boosted the odds of an M-class flare today to 30%. The reasons are Sunspots AR2367 and AR2360, which are growing with unstable magnetic fields that harbor energy for M-class solar flares. At the moment, both active regions are crackling with low-level C-class flares. It may be just a matter of time before…
Invisible Meteor Showers
This came from SpaceWeather today: Earth is entering a stream of debris from an unknown comet, and this is causing one of the most intense meteor showers of the year. Ironically, most sky watchers won’t notice because the shower peaks in broad daylight. We only know it’s happening because a radar in Canada is picking…
Vblog: (mostly) Norse mythology and the efeminisation of myths
I use the word efeminisation in the same way emasculation is used. If there’s a better word, let me know. I sat down with Ginger for another interview/channeling about the Gods. We meandered through a number of the Norse goddesses, and probably the Light Elves, with a few side trips into other Pantheons. The focus…
Not Celebrating Mothers’ Day?
Perhaps Lemuralia is more your speed… The Romans would take this time, right after the apex of the thinning of the veils, to purge their homes of evil spirits. They weren’t fans of the ancestors, as it turns out. From Wikipedia : The head of the household who was responsible for getting up at midnight…
Living in Harmony
When we live in more urbanized areas, it’s considerably more challenging to connect to the Spirit of Place, to nature, and to the ancestors (I am using the term here to signify those who used the land before us). I find, though, that even in the heart of Nature, in places like Maui, many non-local…
Contact: Sea Turtles
I had the opportunity to have a bit of a chat with a large, male green sea turtle. It was pretty challenging, actually – their energy is different than anything I’ve encountered; almost like it was subsonic. It moves so very slowly. They haven’t really changed much over the span of their existence. I did…
The Ongoing Process of Weeding
We recently redid our front yard. California’s having a drought, and lawns are huge water wasters. Also, I find them unattractive. So we killed the lawn, leaving a few pre-existing bushes and the two trees, conditioned the soil, created some water-retaining features, and planted drought resistant plants, mostly California natives, all of which had uses,…
