  • Excellent quote

    Excellent quote

    My IT girl— and that’s IT as in Internet Technology, not as in Poor Little Rich Girl idiot Paris Hilton—sent me a terrific quote today. It just seems to fit this particular day rather well. “When one door closes, another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed…

  • Squished Bread, Scrambled Eggs, and Mercury in Retrograde

    Squished Bread, Scrambled Eggs, and Mercury in Retrograde

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Passion to the Third Degree. Mercury’s in retrograde again. That comes too often, doesn’t it? Revisits and relooks and problems with communication, transportation, and computers. Some things have shifted around this past week. It reminds me of throwing groceries in the back of the car and getting home…

  • Two Reasons: #2. Eliminate to Release

    Two Reasons: #2. Eliminate to Release

    I’m troubled about something but really have no one I can discuss it with. Or at least, no one I feel comfortable discussing it with. I tried in earnest but discovered I was talking to absolutely the wrong person. It made me realize that it was time to release some things I’d been holding onto…

  • Two Reasons: #1. Eliminate to Liberate

    Two Reasons: #1. Eliminate to Liberate

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Passion to the Third Degree. You cannot imagine how much email I get every day. Filters do little to no good or I lose sales. Part of the problem is that one of my private email addresses has been spread all over the planet by a handful of…

  • Ménage a Trois of the Most Unusual Kind

    Ménage a Trois of the Most Unusual Kind

    So. I have an energetic connection with two different men. It’s funny and odd and…I’m learning a lot from it. Of the two, I’m feeling the Ten of Pentacles more strongly these days. He’s lost and confused and really reaching out energetically to me. He’s no longer standing directly in front of me but his…

  • Origins of Doubt

    Origins of Doubt

    I’m having a moment of doubt, and I’m not sure what the origin is. What I’m worried the origin is money. That’s why I have to be absolutely sure before I make any decisions. The issue? It’s a lot of money. From the Bookshelf Rite of Reckoning — a Southern witch returns home to secrets…

  • Second Dates

    Second Dates

    Pensacola Guy, a cute mid-30-something I dated once in the early spring of this year, has suddenly remembered my number after disappearing, mainly due to his work and some trips abroad. He’s back in town as of this past week and wants to go out. I’ve declined to see him again. From the Bookshelf Rite…

  • New Perspectives

    New Perspectives

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Passion to the Third Degree. I never know whether to chuckle or give the kid a hug, but Shannon has a new job for the summer. And it’s most definitely a new perspective, and not just for her. Her original plan was to take college classes this summer…

  • Hail, Ye Guardians of the West: STOP!

    Hail, Ye Guardians of the West: STOP!

    At first, I had to wonder if I’d said something to offend the Guardians of the West and the Element of Water. Maybe forgotten to dismiss them in ritual or something. First there was the slow leak in the toilet that eventually was fully flowing a few months ago, jumping up to a sudden 11,000…

  • Speak of the Dead

    Speak of the Dead

    When a loved one dies, we are often crushed by the realization that life goes on without them. It’s no different when someone is “dead” to us, whatever the reason may be. It’s just not as obvious because we assume they still live on elsewhere, not just in our memory. We tend to remember the…

  • Light Bearers

    Light Bearers

    Done. A few hours of intense spiritual work is always a bit of a relief for me. Let’s just say that I’ve been divining for the summer. I’ve had a little light shed for myself on the Ten of Pents romance and its abrupt halt, and it was as I suspected. Your children can rock…

  • Not So Clear but Present

    Not So Clear but Present

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Passion to the Third Degree. I have not slept well the past two nights. There’s turbulent energy in the air around me. For the past two days, the Ten of Pentacles has been standing in front of me. I see him in my mind’s eye. From the Bookshelf…
