For as much I’ve decluttered my home and office over the past year or so, I guess my excavations weren’t quite deep enough. While re-arranging the home office, I found an old file cabinet that had not been emptied previously. Somehow, it was missed in The Great Decluttering of 2007 as part of my last [...]

Attitude is one of those things that’s often underrated because it’s not easily measured. You know it when you see it in people (or experience it) and it affects your world–as well as their own.
Most people would be banging their heads against the walls by now, but [...]

With rain on the horizon, a lot of local Solstice rituals were cancelled because they were weather dependent. Or because it was just way too hot outside. Neither was a problem for us. The weather cooled down the moment the circle was cast, the mosquitoes we’d been slapping [...]
***Summer Solstice 1992: Me kneeling with Shannon and pregnant with Aislinn. Yes, I had my ears triple-pierced and my hair was in an asymmetrical cut under that sequinned headband, but at least not carrying a briefcase and wearing a suit, matching pumps, and matching stockings for a whole day!***
“And as I hung up the phone [...]

If there’s one tip that I would have loved to have included in Gifts for the Goddess on a Warm Spring Morn, it’s something that one of my Circle members told me right after the book went to press–a great tip for drying herbs.
Granted, here in Florida, it can be quite hot in the spring [...]

At Shannon’s high school graduation, the top grads got a chance to make their speeches to family, friends, and faculty before going out into the future to change the world.
Back in 1980, when I graduated, I made a long speech that [...]

What a great week for rituals! Besides Mercury going direct (slingshot rit, anyone?) and the Summer Solstice c oming up next weekend, I’ll shape some of my desires according to visual meditations around the full moon of June, which will [...]

So, all you manifesters, here’s a big tip for you. Next time you’re focusing on bringing something to you, don’t ask for it come or appear or be attracted to you or manifest “soon.”
“Soon” always puts the result into the future. Just out of reach. [...]

I’m having seriously hard feelings toward someone today. A stranger. A stranger whose work I have appreciated and promoted to others. And I’m feeling utterly irrational about it..as happens every time in my life that my integrity has ever been questioned.
Some people say it’s not spiritual to have bad feelings, but that’s [...]

Far too often, spiritual people give their power away. I had not considered the depth of this habit until Obiwan sent me an article a few days ago about how people give away their power to psychics specifically and others in general. It almost seemed strange coming from the person who is my [...]

I’m disgusted. I’m tired of adults—especially teachers and administrators in the education system—who trash-talk today’s teens and say they’re all lazy, don’t want to work for anything, don’t care about anyone but themselves, and never lend a hand to help those less fortunate. It’s not the kids who are a problem.
You see, I’m raising young [...]

Isn’t it annoying when you have a list of 5238 things to accomplish and you’re chugging along nicely, feeling proud of yourself for getting so much done, when someone steps in and tells you all the things you should be doing, many of which are already on your list?
Ultimately, [...]
