As I’m writing this, I am so tired. Happy, but tired. October is GO time for Tarot readers. Private clients, events, classes… And, I’ve been really busy officiating lovely Autumn weddings. It’s Monday. I worked all weekend, teaching Tarot and marrying some lovely people. I’m sitting here at the computer, determined to write something, but […]
I love October. I feel aching yet delicious melancholy at this time of year. As the season truly begins to change, I see beauty in the fallen leaves and bare branches, and I feel reverence for this time of rest, retiring into darkness, and communing with the Dark Goddess. At this time of year, when […]
September for me will always mean the end of summer and time to go back to school. Even though it is still beautiful and summery outside right now, I have already shifted into a place of stationery heaven, dreaming about acquiring all kinds of exciting paper products and writing implements. What can be more exciting […]
July has been a month of ups and downs for me (and it’s only halfway through). Mercury Retrograde seems to be playing a role, making me hesitant to speak up and to initiate conversations. And now, on July 16th, 2019, we experience the Full Moon and a partial lunar eclipse. This combination has left me […]
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? […]
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. I wear at least one talisman or amulet daily, carefully selected for their energy and purpose. I’ve always […]
I love Valentine’s Day. I know, I know, there are those of you out there who hate it, who say its commercial and contrived, that it makes single people feel alienated and judged and makes people who are in a relationship feel pressured or obligated. I hear you. I understand where you are coming from […]
Are you feeling ready to roar? The opportunity to go deep, release and, yes, shake your mane and roar is on its way. We will experience a total lunar eclipse on Monday January 21, 2019. (Here’s how and where you can watch). Not just an eclipse (which is pretty special on its own), this is […]
I had a conversation about New Year traditions at the hair salon yesterday. My lovely long time stylist asked me if there is anything I do in particular, and I mentioned that I’ve adopted some customs that I learned about when I lived in Japan, like eating Toshikoshi Soba for long life, strength and to welcome […]
