A Forty Day Practice

As I was walking the labyrinth this morning, I was asked to create a very specific 40-day practice based on the paths I was traveling. I invite you to join me. Starting Monday, January 20th, I will be focusing on a different theme each day. If you have a local labyrinth, I invite you to…

How to Deal with Sun Spots and Solar Storms

I received an email today from SpaceWeather: One of the largest sunspots in years, AR1944, has turned toward Earth and it is crackling with strong flares. So far on Jan. 7th, the active region has produced M7- and X1-class eruptions, and more appear to be in the offing. As this alert is being issued, analysts…

Into the Darkness

I won’t be doing a public New Moon Ceremony this weekend. My dear friends, who were going to host, had their schedule shifted by the early arrival of their new son. Additionally, Samhain took more out of me than I anticipated, so I’ll be honoring the Dark Moon privately. This doesn’t mean I can’t still…

And so it begins…

Welcome to eclipse season! And a Full Moon! And renewed solar activity! And the thinning of the veil! And Mercury retrograde! …And some other stuff too, I’m sure… For all I write about Mercury Retrograde and Lunar cycles, I am not an astrologer. I play, but I have so many lovely colleagues whose passion it…

If we don’t do it consciously, the Universe may handle the details, which is not usually preferable. Sometimes, of course, regardless of how consciously we work our…

October Newsletter

As always, subscribers get notified about monthly specials. Here is the text of the body of the newsletter: That period of time between autumnal equinox and Samhain is an interesting period. We move from the balance of light and dark into darkness; the veil thins; we are called to clear out the old and to…

The Gratitude Challenge

I caught myself being negative lately about some things that were going on in my personal life. It wasn’t pretty, I didn’t like it, and I wanted to change it. I didn’t want to be that person who is always complaining, and, more than that, I wanted to feel differently. So I’ve decided to write…

Words

(a reprint from 2002) The clearest, most concise communication is that which is given energetically, either through the fourth or sixth chakra. Words are, for the purposes of communication with others, imprecise and do not translate abstract concepts well. Spoken word was created not for the purpose of communicating at all. It is a tool…
