Prosperity Spells Sell Well in a Bad Economy
It was Edain McCoy who first called my attention to it— the link between the current economy and prosperity spells. I honestly had not noticed. And maybe that’s a good thing. I’d just returned from a trip to the Daytona-Orlando area where New Age shop owners talked of the current economy, of how their sales…

16 AUGUST 2008 Lunar Eclipse: Rituals and Meditations for the Full Moon in Aquarius
Honestly. I hadn’t planned to post about the upcoming lunar eclipse quite yet, but here we are on 8 August 2008 (08/08/08), halfway between eclipses, and already the meditative image for the Full Moon eclipse is fiercely strong in my mind’s eye. I don’t know how long I’ll get these “interactive meditations” or how far…

Serious Moonlight: Ideas for Your July Full Moon Meditations and Rituals
The New Moon and Full Moon are always wonderful times for meditation and ritual, or just for self-reflection on where you are in your life. The Full Moon of July 17-18 (depending on your time zone) will be a very “serious” moon. With the Sun in Cancer, all those emotions are flowy and intense, and…

Once in a (Scorpio) Blue Moon
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 the distinction…

Scorpio Moon: Is It Real or Is It Illusion?
Here’s a replay of a previous post about a ritual from 2005, just because we have double full moons in Scorpio with a Taurus sun for the April-May 2008 time frame. This was during my Cancer Scare of 2005–turned out to be a caffeine-induced lump–but I was just coming to grips with starting over and…

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,…

Powerhouse Rituals: One Reason this Spring Is So Bright
I can give you a laundry list of energetic and astrological reasons why this Spring 2008 is so powerful and so good for launching yourself in new directions, but I’ll focus on the answer to just one question: How can this full moon be in Aries and the first of the solar new year? I…

Time-Lining Intentions
I’m combining long-term intentions with daily intentions in two rather effective ways. First, I hold my “morning strategy sessions with the Universe” at usually about 5:30 AM when I’m on my way to work. I have time alone to decide how I want my day to go, what I want to accomplish, what I like…

A Small Eclipse Ritual: Under a Blood Red Moon
The lunar eclipse of 20 February 2008 was quite pretty in the here-and-there moments that the cloud-cast sky allowed a peek. I love it when I can curl up in a blanket in the back yard hammock and watch an eclipse with one of the kids with me, but the best seat in the house…

The Spiritual Ad Lib
Eclipses are wonderful times to harness the power of the moment for a personal new moon ritual. They also have a tendency to surprise me with little messages that come up, sort of like a spiritual ad lib. Last night under a bright smattering of stars, with grass under my bare feet and glowing fire…
