May 2021: The Veil Thins… Most people don’t think of late spring as the time when the veil thins, but we are at the other side of the wheel from the end of October, and the veil thins here too. While in the autumn, everything is dying, in spring it comes alive, glorious and bursting…

Thinning of the veil, Taurus & Scorpio energy, solar activity, meteors…
This is one of my favorite energies of the year. Yes, I’m in one of my mourning periods, but there’s also all this Scorpio meets Taurus energy (which is where I live). It’s all sexy and earthy and sensual and feet-in-the-mud. This year, we’ve also got some meteor shower and solar activity. This is supercharged….

This is one of the two Cross Quarters (sometimes known as Imbolc, or First Milk of the Lamb) which offer us the opportunity to get more present and aware of what we have in the here and now. The actual astrological date for the Cross Quarter this year is February 4th. Taking the Wheel of…

Like A Fish Out Of Water
In the past 24 hours, I have had at least 4 people reach out to me to ask about things like Higher Consciousness, connecting with The Divine, Fear, and Spiritual Practice. There must be something in the air. More importantly, to me as a Shaman, is the pattern of it. Whenever I have 2 or more…
Looking toward classes for 2021
Good grief, it’s mid November already. Still feels like March. How odd. As I tend to do around this time of year, I’m weighing and evaluating my offerings for the next calendar year (actually, looking through the archives, I may not have made a post like this since 2017). It’s going to be at least…

NOAA forecasters say storm levels could reach category G2 (moderately strong) when the gaseous material arrives on Sept. 29th. Bright “equinox auroras” are already…
Forms of Healing: Acoustic Therapy
Forms of sound therapy have been used to facilitate healing for thousands of years around the world. Chanting, drumming, singing, and instrumentation can all create change in the body and mind. The ancient Greek mathematics mystic Pythagoras even developed a mathematically based musical scale that had such profound effects that it was brought to the…
September, and then October: Ancestors, Grief, and Stillness
I feel like we’re in wrap up and catch up energies currently. I’m sure part of it is the fact that we’re coming up on October, which is a grief month for me, so my own personal energy is more sluggish. Not to mention everything that’s going on in the world. You’ll remember, a few…
Five Minute Meditations
Meditation is important. If you have been following me for any length of time, you probably know that. A number of people offer five minute meditations and I have, up until now, resisted that idea. The body responds to physical, mental, or emotional pressure by releasing stress hormones (such as epinephrine and norepinephrine) that increase…
Sun Rerun: Why Is the Internet Important for Change?
Considering how much time all of us are spending online right now, I thought this might be a good time to repost this article on using the Internet for change. The Internet is a manifestation of the Fourth Dimension, what some people call the Astral. There is no time, no space, and you are not…

O Kallah Messiah, Anointed Bride, Lady of Light, Lady of Fire, Come and breathe upon me, Come and dance with me; Take me now into your embrace, That I might know the fullness of Divine Love, And be joined to my Beloved, as you are joined in Union The image of the Human One of…
