On July 2nd, we experience a new moon and a solar eclipse in Cancer. I am not an astrologer, so what follows comes from my personal experience and my work with the cards. Eclipses throw me for a loop. The energy of this particular one has started to build and I’m feeling it already. It […]
June 21st, 2019 marks the Summer Solstice here in our dear Northern Hemisphere, also celebrated as Midsummer and Litha. The Solstice marks the longest day and the shortest night of the year. What do you think of when I say, “That was one of the longest days of my life.”? Negative connotations arise, don’t they? […]
June 5th is my birthday. I love birthdays and celebrations of all kinds. I think it is important to make note of special occasions, to mark them in some way, otherwise time just seems to slip away, days blend together. This year, I have mixed feelings about my own birthday. First of all, I want […]

Imagine being able to say that you are attending a work conference that involves crystal balls, Tarot cards and other various mystical pursuits. It is pretty awesome. I got back from the […]
I bet you have a big collection of crystals, right? They are irresistible. I can’t leave a metaphysical shop without adding another gem to my collection, and it is a good day when I discover a stone that I’ve never come across before. Crystals are not just shiny, decorative objects. They are beautiful, but they […]
I’ve always had a thing for graven images. I surround myself with representations of Goddesses and other divine guides, helpers and deities. This passion also translates into a love of jewelry depicting Goddesses, symbols and incorporating gemstones.
