  • Thoughts Have Power

    Thoughts Have Power

    How often have I heard that thoughts  have power? Not just in reference to magickal intent, but also in terms of science and water molecules and the effect of a literal word of kindness or love taped to the jar of water? Mentally, I’ve been on strange turf since last Friday afternoon when I felt…

  • Is This Where I Get It From?

    Is This Where I Get It From?

    Granddaddy hasn’t been around as much in the past 8 or 9 months, but I figure he’s needed elsewhere or maybe he’s simply  coming  to me in different  ways.  It’s now been 11 years since he passed, and one of the things I learned from him  last year was that the Dead can be in…

  • A-Ha Moments

    A-Ha Moments

    Now that the girls are back home, the energy in the house is back  to normal and everything feels very solid again. Well, as solid as it gets these days. But I’m seeing another purpose in how intensely off-kilter life felt last week. It’s a reminder. It’s a reminder that sometimes  when the energies are…

  • Interactive Meditations

    Interactive Meditations

    These interactive  meditations are fascinating.  It’s one step at a time, and then they take on a life of their own. And they always surprise me. A few nights ago, while in a lengthy meditation, a man sat next to me  but refused to look in my direction. He purposely  sat  close  but  just  as …

  • On Dating Atheists

    On Dating Atheists

    Geez, how could I have forgotten?! For Pete’s sake, I was married to an atheist for 18 years! What attracted me to this particular man was nothing physical or spiritual. It was strictly on the mental level. It was his ability to talk about both science and religion with some  degree of objectivity, and he…

  • Guy Talk

    Guy Talk

    I’m missing male conversation. It’s almost dried up in my life, and I didn’t realize it or why. My day job has a heavy base of male colleagues, most of them married. Over my entire career, I’ve had friendly relationships with quite a few of them. Platonic, friendly,respectful of one another. We ask about each…

  • Intense Patterns

    Intense Patterns

    The thing I love about astrology is looking at the pat- terns. And if there’s something intensely emotional going on with me, well, I don’t have look very far. All I have to do is check up on my horoscope—one of the real ones, not the crap in the papers—and I get a real feel…

  • Sitting Close  to Men

    Sitting Close to Men

    I have to get these meditations and dreams down on paper. There’s wisdom in them, if I can figure them out. From the Bookshelf Rite of Letting Go — a Southern witch must reclaim her magic and protect her family before she loses everything. Available direct from the author → My morning meditation was long,…

  • The Bane of Being Single in Transition Time

    The Bane of Being Single in Transition Time

    I’ve never had any problem being alone, but I’ve decided I don’t necessarily want it all the time. Yeah. Yeah, I’m sure of that. I like having people around, people I adore, just not underfoot or hovering. But…around…in my sphere. Occasionally sharing my air. From the Bookshelf Rite of Letting Go — a Southern witch…

  • What I Learned About Men from My Dog

    What I Learned About Men from My Dog

    My puppy is teaching me about men. In particular, he’s answering some questions I’ve had since I was a little wee tiny girl. Like why is it men never seem the least bit worried about finding a bathroom? From the Bookshelf Rite of Letting Go — a Southern witch must reclaim her magic and protect…

  • How an  Empath Feels

    How an Empath Feels

    One of Tom  Petty’s  songs  that I’ve always  liked is “You Don’t Know How It Feels” (to be me). Most people do feel alone or lonely or angry or depressed, and they think they’re all alone in their feelings. Some people wonder how other people feel.   Let’s go deeper than that. Not how does…

  • Psychic Head Games and an  Abundance of Free Will Choices

    Psychic Head Games and an Abundance of Free Will Choices

    On my way to work yesterday, I put aside my tape recorder and my dictation, and I had a little talk with the Gods about choices. “What am I supposed to do now?” I asked. “I know where I’m supposed to be, but I just can’t see how to get there.” Metaphorically speaking, I was…
