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 [...]

Oh, the power of words! Especially when said in a ritual circle.
As my Circle grows, I find it helpful to discuss situations with other High Priests and High Priestesses because at some point, I’m going to be asked a question I really cannot answer and that the questioner really [...]

Not everyone keeps a Book of Shadows in the “traditional” way. You know, the hardback tome of paper, perhaps even wrapped in some kind of animal hide or decorated with all sorts of magickal symbols.
In my guest room, affectionately known as “Brian’s Room” because of his extended summer stays, I [...]

“You have an interesting life path,” a clairvoyant friend told me 3 weeks ago. Her eyes widened and then she chuckled as she said it. She never told me what she saw that made her laugh. I could use a laugh about now.
Perhaps it was that life has a way [...]
For years, the Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp has been on my list of adventures to enjoy. Several weekends ago, I took a road trip to Orlando to see Shannon–and though we spent four days hanging out at Margaritaville, shopping, buying fairy curtains and goodies for her new apartment, and me assuring her that I had not yet [...]

Have you been absolutely exhausted recently and can’t figure out why? Extra sleep and vitamins aren’t cutting it?
I’ve been that way for a couple of weeks, and I’ve cheerfully blamed the guy I’m seeing because he’s been exhausted, too. But my Shannon called from college and has also been exhausted, regardless [...]

I’ve been through many, many hurricanes, and Hurricane Gustav has made me feel anxious since it was a blip in the Atlantic that no one but the online meteorologists were talking about. It’s as if something energetic, something in the Ether, gets all worked up, as if the energy of an area is preparing for [...]

Ghosts in the lights? Sensitive to WiFi waves? Hearing voices? ADHD? Depression? Autism? Or just plain old prophetic living in the End Times?
Over the past four years, I’ve noticed how many of my daughters’ generation–kids born in the late 80’s/early 90’s–have been much more sensitive than my generation, in general. They’re part of what’s known [...]

***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 [...]

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 [...]

It’s not that I am trying to change the cards that have already been dealt. Instead, my plan is to change the cards that I WILL be dealt.
Every now and then, a friend and I “lay cards” and by that, I mean that we toss a few Tarot cards and talk about their meaning, and [...]

Blame it on the Scorpio moon’s intensity, but nothing drives me crazier than lack of communication. In particular, that you-can-hear-a-pin-drop silence that comes after an intense date or a conversation where the guy is just grovelling at my feet and making all sorts of offers. (Every man who walks through my door has [...]

May 19-20 (depending on your time zone) marks the second Sun-Moon combination of Taurus and Scorpio in a month, and I’m always surprised at how many new readers drop in to find a ritual or a good ritual tip for this Full Moon. This one, being an even more intense Scorpio moon has [...]

Some people describe their past life regressions as they would a movie, and you can almost hear the soundtrack crescendo-ing in the background. Maybe they see it that way, too. I don’t.
I get flashes of sight and emotion, sometimes scents, too. Sometimes they’re quick flashes and sometimes they last for [...]

My own personal sexual revolution did not arrive with a fanfare of one-night stands or birth control prescriptions or discreetly wrapped sex toys delivered via UPS. It crept up quietly as, in the wake of my divorce, I had a few surprises pointed out to me about myself that I [...]

I’ve come to trust my intuition more than ever in the past year. And at the same time, there are still the times when I’m unsure. And I like to be sure. I do.
How do you verify your intuition? If there’s a pattern to follow, then it tastes like it might be [...]

My home is sacred, a symbol of my relationship with Deity. And I don’t really care if anyone else thinks so, but it’s my temple and a reflection of all who live and love and sleep within its walls.
I don’t defend what’s in my house. And I won’t defend it. I never [...]

Watch how things circle around within a few hours’ time. This is kind of…interesting.
The general weirdness of this week continues. I’m not sure if it’s the contentious Aries/Libra full moon or the price of gas, but people are highly agitated this week, especially over the past few days. I can explain [...]

While yesterday was a day for celebration of my birthday, today was all about contemplation. I took the day off from the workforce grind and played barefoot this morning in my yard in the windy sunshine that whispered of impending Spring. Technically, I’m celebrating all week because…well, because I want to. Because I [...]

For quite some time now, I’ve started my meditations in my Enchanted Forest. I’ve met lovers there and friends, had men drink from my hands and lips and hug me for dear life from on their knees. I’ve pulled them out of dark prisons, drifted on quiet lakes, let them sleep in my arms, [...]

As with most Mercury Retrogrades, people from my past are coming out of the woodwork, but the most amazing thing was not the phone call I received late today but in what happened before. I’m left with an odd feeling of intense interest, annoyance, and a little bit of [...]
