Spiritual Tools and Forging Your Own Meaning
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 have a huge library…

I Curse Your Name: the Blackest of Magicks
I have a house full of company this summer, but it’s oh-so-pleasant and has settled into a nice pattern of incense wafting upward from the countertop, couscous on the stove, wine in my glass, Brian playing the piano or guitar, Amy singing, Robert drumming on the table over sushi, Aislinn fetching strawberry-chocolate shakes, Shannon playing…

A Wonderful Summer Solstice
With rain on the horizon, a lot of local Solstice rituals were cancelled because they were weather dependent. Or because it was just way too hot outside. Neither was a problem for us. The weather cooled down the moment the circle was cast, the mosquitoes we’d been slapping all day disappeared for the whole ritual,…

Big Tip for Manifesting: SOON Is a Bad Word
So, all you manifesters, here’s a big tip for you. Next time you’re focusing on bringing something to you, don’t ask for it come or appear or be attracted to you or manifest “soon.” “Soon” always puts the result into the future. Just out of reach. I cannot tell you how many times I…

Banishing Doubt: Trust, Truth, and Deep Connections
I am still working through the revelations of this Scorpio Moon, especially in regard to Trust and Truth. I am trying to figure out for myself why I have had such difficulty in trusting connections when communications fail (see previous post), trying to take it back to its earliest form to understand how this pattern…

Ritual Results: How Could I Have Missed the Truth?
Well, of course. That’s me, hitting the heel of my palm against my forehead in a gesture reminiscent of Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” video from the early 80’s. How could I have missed it? The emotional Tower Card of the past few days has been about trust. Scorpio Full Moons are good…

Magick in Reverse–a Beltane Surprise
(Photo of Aislinn with Kat and Murv (M.R. Sellars) at the Samhain 2006 Florida Pagan Gathering. She’s about 6 inches taller now and can’t wait to reconnect with friends in Ocala) 6:08 PM I’m laughing all the way home. I have four new special-order tires, a complete re-alignment, and a hole in my purse, but…

Giveaway Time! Let’s Celebrate Taurus
As the Sun moves into Taurus on 20 April, it’s time to celebrate with a giveaway. Why? Well, because CELEBRATE EVERYTHING is my personal theme for this year and if you look, it’s not hard to find good things in life. The prize is a pretty orange and blue Balance-and-Expression necklace by a local artist,…

Are You a White Witch?
Some Witches like to explain that they practice only “white” magick. This is probably their way of assuring you that they don’t cast “evil spells” or try to manipulate you through their magickal talents. The term white witch was much more prevalent in the early 1990s, possibly as a need to be more politically correct…

Threshold Days: Springing into a Bright Future with the Vernal Equinox
Happy Spring! Today is a great time to make plans. It’s a threshold day. I mean TODAY, not any “today.” TODAY, this afternoon and evening in particular. Whether you have plans for a ritual celebration or don’t even bother to note the date on the calendar, TODAY is important to manifesting your future. Literally, this…
