Ghosts in the Mirrors
Click on the pics in this post for larger views. Back in college, one of my term projects was to find and point out erotic objects in advertising as part of my demonstration of how subliminal advertising works. Yes, there were plenty of phallic symbols–some VERY plain–in the shadows and curves of liquor ads. I’ve…

The Astrology of Meeting “The One”
NOTE TO READERS: This is the original “The Astrology of Meeting the One” article by Lorna Tedder, published in 2008. It has been lifted verbatim and republished without proper credit on various forums, which is a violation of my copyright.

Good and Bad Drama–and How to Tell the Difference
When is it DRAMA and when it is just life? I figured it out–for me, at least. DRAMA seems to be a big buzz word now. Overused like crazy, and in the dating scene, it’s hard to let a day pass without being pummeled with the word. Men often throw it around in an insulting…

The Metaphysics of Cheating—Hints that He’s Found Someone New and One Sure-Fire Way to Know (Part III)
Continued from Part II of this series…. 1. **An unusual new sex trick.** If he hasn’t obviously been reading a self-help book to spice up your relationship or searching such advice online, a new trick in his repertoire might be cause for alarm—especially if he seems to be well-practiced at it. Most first-time tries have…

My Idea of Profanity
In my world, there are three phrases that are forbidden: From the Bookshelf Rite of Reckoning — a Southern witch returns home to secrets that won’t stay buried. Available direct from the author → “You need to….” I can live the rest of my life without ever hearing this one again. It’s one of those…

The Metaphysics of Cheating—Hints that He’s Found Someone New and One Sure-Fire Way to Know (Part II)
Continued from Part I of this series…. First, the ordinary signs: 1. Unusual smells. This is an unusual sign that most cheaters miss. A man will come home after an afternoon tryst, freshly showered, but his unwashed hair will smell of sex. Or a woman who doesn’t smoke will have a not-so-subtle scent of cigarette…

Giving Away your Life through Pointless Arguing
I didn’t realize until today that **I’ve completely stopped a habit that used to rob me of countless hours** of my time. I’m at a place in my life where time is more important than money, but it has to do with perspective moreso than wealth. Maybe this old habit of mine started when I…

The Backlash of Going with the Flow of Energy
For the past year, I’ve used “going with the flow of energy” as a guideline for making the most of my efforts. On a very tiny scale, this principle was as simple as having a sudden urge to clean the house from top to bottom—and doing it while I felt the urge rather than reminding…

Now Returning You to My Regularly Scheduled Programming….
In April, for the entire month, I was hyper-focused on productivity of creative projects. I barely slept 4 hours a night because I just couldn’t put down the work. I was having so much fun! A part of me kept saying, “But what about this guy you were interested in?” And though he was interesting,…

A Time and a Place for Magick
Many a false step was made by standing still. -Fortune Cookie Sometimes you have to pull yourself out of the Ether to make things happen. Sometimes you have to take action in a very concrete, physical way. Or, as an old friend once told me, “Sometimes the best magick is to ask your questions directly.”…

Looking for a Sign?
If you’re looking for a sign, this is it. How many of us are torn—or think we are—about a direction to take, and so we look for “signs” that will push us in one direction or the other? We already know the answer but either don’t trust our intuition or want to ignore it because…

The Irony of Truth
Someone recently accused me of lying about something, and the true irony was that, of all the people involved, I was the only one who wasn’t lying. That accusation actually hurt my feelings—a lot—because I’d insisted on honesty and openness from the very beginning and thought I’d established a fine history of truth and trust…
