One day my soul just opened up and things started happening things I can’t quite explain I mean I cried and cried like never before I cried tears of ten thousand mothers I couldn’t even feel anything because I cried ‘til I was numb. One day my soul just opened up I felt this overwhelming…
When in doubt, seriously, listen to my late Granny. Granny knows. You had to know my Granny and I am so sorry you didn’t if you didn’t. She was an amazing person and is my greatest “Yes, I actually knew her” hero of my entire life. More on Mary Frances Mitchell in a minute. …And…
It is October, right on the brink of the season of the Crone and here I am, crawling over the finish line into my own Cronedom. If life is a marathon, I arrived here with my nipples bleeding, devoid of sweat to lose, and likely having lost control of my bowels at some point. Fortunately,…
“Well this low down bitchin’ got my poor feet a itchin’. Can’t you see the deuce is still wild? Baby, I can’t stay, you got to roll me and call me the tumblin’ dice.” Rolling Stones I look at how long it has been since I updated this journal and it makes me uncomfortable, but then I…
As is easy to see, I have not updated here for a long time. There are the “on top” reasons and there are the “underneath” reasons, just as there is with anything. The main on top reason is that a nonprofit organization with which I am involved hosted a major fund-raising festival in June and for…
By request. Remember that this is the first draft and is very raw. Many edits yet to come and the book is only around a third done:
I hate time changes. Why…why must we do it? That aside… There is a section of Google Images that allows you to filter according to parameters such as “available for non-commercial use without modification.” Some pretty cool stuff came up when I looked for a banner for this week’s column: March 21 is a year…
I had a conversation with a friend yesterday that was one of those time where you are offering someone the exact same advice that you realize you need yourself. She was describing a situation where she had suffered a falling out with a dear friend and told me she had cried to the friend saying, “I…
It is not yet the end of February and already, this has been a rockin’ year. Last year was a brutal battle fighting (most with myself, as these things are wont to do) for my own sovereignty and creating space on which I could stand. I have been falling down a great deal over the…

Their schedule is as follows: FRIDAY, 1:30 PM – WEATHER WITCHERY PRESENTATION This fun discussion covers the best magic to work in particular types of weather conditions, as well as how to call in weather…
I originally set up this post on December 13, 2015, which was over a month ago and since then, I have tried several times to get back to it and give it the due it deserves. Perhaps this time, I will make it through. Like for so many others, 2015 was a really rough year….
How many times have you made the same resolutions over and over, year after year, each time more determined to succeed and more frustrated and dejected when you do not? How many times do the failures of previous years stand in the way of your success for the coming year? Repeated failures are a heavy…
I woke up with morning with words in my head, not the usual song lyrics or dream remnant, but words without attachment to anything in particular. “Even a rat will eventually stop pushing the lever that shocks him and will find the lever that feeds him.” Damn. I have mulled those words for hours now…
I did not believe what my High Priestess told me when she said if you sit in the dark in front of a mirror with nothing but candlelight, you will see amazing things. Of course, not believing it meant I was going to try it as soon as I possibly could, which I did. Scrying…

Each week, I get a wonderful horoscope sent to my inbox by Chani Nicholas at http://chaninicholas.com/. After exploring many others, I have found her work to consistently be the best out there and I am happy to share it with you. This week, it was like a gut punch. Virgo & Virgo Rising (My Sun…
On Samhain (October 31) each year, a practice our group adds to our ritual is that we go into the dark earth labyrinth where a large mirror is propped on a table. In candlelight, we look into the Mirror of Truth and then pull a Tarot card from the table where they are spread in…
I am excited to announce that the third book in the “Seven Sisters of Avalon” series released today on Amazon.com. Book four, Iris of Avalon, is scheduled for release in Fall 2016. In the interim, an updated edition of my flagship book, Energy Magic Compleat is in the works. This edition will include lots of new discussion on…
For most of my life, I was the baby in any crowd. It did not help that for a lot of those years, I looked younger than I was. I come from a family of “good skin” and I eat pretty well, so I was often mistaken for being younger than I was. That being…
A critical analysis of a classic song and its application to marijuana use at Cornell University in the late 1950s. (Is “Puff the Magic Dragon” about pot?)
