Today’s Book Spotlight is on Salt and Fire: Cleansing and House Purification Rituals. Lauren Hartford uses a “novel approach” to explaining how to perform a complicated (and possibly dangerous) ritual to cleanse your home. All details are provided in the form of a short novella, covering the materials needed, the actual process, the [...]

Since when has Let Go and Let God become a synonym for Give Up?
Several years ago, I was facing an extremely shaky time when I was leaving a long-term marriage and starting a brand-new life. It was the first step in [...]

I am truly blessed. I had the honor during this Solar Eclipse of January 2010 to facilitate the Third Degree Elevation of my youngest student, Lord Midlight, who began studying with me in August 2007. During this time, I watched him really come into his own, and especially as a powerful [...]

Super sensitive. That’s what I am. I’m still trying to assimilate the weirdness (thus far) from yesterday’s eclipse, August 5, 2009. I had some strange physical effects, and it felt like the veil between the worlds was thinner than ever yesterday. In fact, I know it was, based on what [...]

“How can I release old resentments and anger?” a friend asked. She’s a very wise and together person, and very spiritual, so the question surprised me a little. There’s always that expectation, you know, that spiritual people don’t get angry or carry resentments but some wounds are deep and take [...]

I’ve always had a hard time delegating, and that probably explains problems I’ve had with both Christian prayer, Wiccan magick, and the Law of Attraction.
Among those who practice the Law of Attraction and those who practice Magick, whether they are WIccan or some other variety of paganism, I’ve been [...]

Maybe prayer wasn’t what I thought it was. Prayer has always been a huge part of my life, whether I was devoutly Christian or devoutly Wiccan. You’d think I wouldn’t be discovering new insights into such a simple concept as prayer when I began my attendance of religious services at [...]

The December Full Moon, aka the Full Cold Moon, occurs in Gemini on December 12, 2008 at 10:38 AM Central time here in the Florida Panhandle. This Full Moon, I feel, is all about having an “idea of who we really are.”
Gemini is a sign of mental processes—communications, ideas, intellect, flexibility, adaptability, changeability. [...]

This is a Powerful Pause. I’ve been paying attention to my intuition for several years now, and sometimes I’m able to step aside and take a look at what I “know” is coming as opposed to what [...]

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 heard the [...]

When I was a little girl in a Southern Baptist church, the preachers often talked about how we’d all recognize each other when we got to heaven. Even as a child, I had a few problems with the way this scenario was presented to me. Sometimes we were told that [...]

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 [...]

The November Full Moon, aka the Beaver Moon or the Frosty Moon, occurs in Taurus on November 13, 2008 at 12:17 AM Central time here in the Florida Panhandle.
Taurus is a sign of solidity, sensuality, earthiness, pleasure, enjoyment. Sounds great, huh? Except that, astrologically, this moon has some difficult angles, plus the Sun is [...]

When I talk about feeling energies or “energetic connections,” non-empaths usually think I’m crazy. They don’t understand if they’ve never experienced their world through that particular sense, much as a man blind from birth might not understand when I talk about the subtle hues of different colors. Experiencing energy is [...]

When I first began meeting “intuitives,” I heard several of them say that they could not read their own futures. I thought it was odd at the time, given that some of them had told me amazing things about my own life–right down to names, ages, locations, specific projects [...]

About a decade ago, my friend Vicki Hinze had a literary agent, Helen Breitweiser, who was a blast to be around. Helen was young, hip, intelligent–and had a mouth on her. That was part of her charm. (In my opinion, at least.) One of her favorite phrases was to refer to someone’s literary masterpiece as being [...]

It’s important that we as both seekers and teachers don’t become so secure in our own little universes that we fail to sample the knowledge of another universe. I have made some of the greatest progress on my own spiritual journey by talking to people outside my circle and sometimes even [...]
