It’s the Vernal Equinox! I like to look backward before I look forward… I live in Southern California. Celebrating the Celtic calendar creates cognitive dissonance for me. As a shaman and a witch, I work to align myself with nature’s cycles, but those cycles, at least in my surroundings, don’t match up with the High…

Grief is a natural reaction to endings
“If you let go of the grief, how do you honor those who have gone before, without wallowing in the loss?” I’m holding space right now for the passing of a friend, several others have died recently, and we are fast approaching the deathiversary of my Brother-In-Law, not to mention that April is a veil…
[Monday Message] Know Thyself
The two mottos inscribed on the pediment of the temple of Apollo at Delphi were “know thyself” and “nothing in excess”. The idea was that, by avoiding excess and searching for the essence of one’s life within, one could have a sacred life. For people who ascribe to the belief that we are created in…
Communication from the Heart Center
The heart is the switching station in the body, that which connects the physical to the spiritual selves, and it’s also operating system from which we connect to everything and everyone around us. The heart has a very different sort of knowingness that our usual operating systems. It will lead us in different directions, and…
Cross Quarter of the Indwelling Divine
This Cross Quarter is about assessing and celebrating our inner strengths.
[Monday Message] What are you allowing to influence you?
Everything that exists here on the physical plane exists in energetic form on the Astral plane first. We can create forms on the Astral through our imagination. If that form is given enough energy, it can manifest onto the physical. Energy follows focus. Our thoughts influence our world. This is a major component of magick….
[Monday Message] Spiritual Choices
This is a Free Will Universe. Humankind’s gift from the Divine is that of choice. Without it, we would have nothing to choose against. We can make choices to prioritize our animal nature, or we can make spiritual choices. You can either make the choices of your five-year-old self, or you can make choices based…
[Monday Message] Working Your Path
When your work gives you that surge in your heart, that is your Higher Self saying, “Yes, this is your path!” If you are having problems finding joy in your life, if your work leaves you feeling bored or fills you with dread, then you are not fulfilling your life’s path. When you work for…
[Monday Message] Divine Friendship
The Divine is about unconditional love; some might even say it is unconditional love. Unconditional love includes understanding, acceptance, and wise boundaries. It’s what we can strive for in how we relate to other people. We are imperfect, we are unlikely to get there in this lifetime, but that doesn’t mean we can’t work on…
[Meditation] Opening to Positive Energy
I’ve uploaded a quick meditation to my YouTube channel to help you open to positive energy. I’d love to hear (read) about your experience with it, if you would care to share! I upload a new meditation to my YouTube channel every Wednesday, and I’ve got a Meditation Playlist, if you’re looking for a collection….

According to one of my favorite astrologers, Dana Gerhardt, Forty is a magically recurring number. Without…
Looking into December 2021
December 2021 will be about finding the right questions to ask. Sometimes we aren’t getting clear answers because we’re not actually asking the right questions. Play with that a little. The month kicks off with Hanukah and a New Moon & Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius (12/4). Although there are some challenging planetary aspects here, Sag…
