A Fresh Look At The Wheel
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 Holy days. I’ve been toying for some time with shifting my approach, and…
Tragedy, yes, but also an opportunity
I woke up this morning and, unusually, was prompted to turn on the television. I was just going to put it on the Seasonal Music station; in order to get there, I go to channel 2 (CBS here) and scroll backwards. CBS was, of course, showing scenes from the Connecticut school shooting. After assessing the…

New Moon, Eclipse, Retrograde, Oh My!
There’s a lot of very interesting energy going on right now. One of my colleagues refers to this period, between tonight and the lunar eclipse in two weeks, as a “wormhole.” “So, what’s going on,” you ask? We’ve got a New Moon, in Scorpio, where the Sun, in full solar eclipse, and Saturn are as…

Play!
If you’ve been feeling stuck, the energy has shifted. Any lack of motion in your life is coming from your own internal dialogue and belief systems. This is not to say that it is your fault, rather, I say this to empower you to make real changes in your life. Start by identifying the beliefs…
September Newsletter
As always, reading the newsletter via the blog means you don’t get notification of the monthly special (among other things)… Greetings and Salutations! I am about to leave on retreat, as I do every year, so the newsletter is a little early. September is always the most intense month of the year, and will highlight…
New Moon in Leo is Here and September Cometh
Leo is a magnificent sign. New Moon in Leo gives us the opportunity to reclaim our creativity, to get back into the present, to be passionate and joyful about our lives, and to put ourselves fully in alignment with our purpose. This is the perfect reset button, because we are moving quickly into September, which…
Clarification: Solar Activity
It was pointed out to me that I’ve been talking a lot about solar activity and might not be giving you the depth of information you’re interested in… Example: I posted today on Facebook Solar activity picking up… New sunspot AR1532 is crackling with M-class solar flares, including a brief but intense M6-flare on July…
New Moon; Mercury Retrograde; Mars and Saturn in Libra; Solar Flares!

We just entered a three year cycle of breakthroughs, where we need to honor, acknowledge, and make friends with our emotions in order to change the world. Tall order, eh? Nurture yourself. Listen to your emotions. Stay away from people and…
