Monday into Tuesday evening is the lunar celebration of mid-winter. Wednesday is the traditional, Brigid’s day as my tradition has come to life for me in past year’s, Imbolc or Candlemas in other terms. Lunar Imbolc is signified on the Mystery Path by the crescent moon. This is entryway time, we welcome Virgin moon, this…

Dark Moon to Summer Solstice
Fireflies sparking up the edges of the inky night…honeysuckle intoxicants ringing green around the vine…ahhhh dear loves, must be Summa Time That’s right, tomorrow’s New Moon cycle brings about Litha, or the Summer Solstice, which also means today and this week so far overall, we’re in and have been in that deep stronghold of forced…
Lunar Beltane Super Moon
Lunar Beltane Super Moon Monday evening, friends. Lunar Beltane is the pagan name for the full moon that occurs when the sun is in the house of Taurus. Learning to track the year by this lunar-led Wheel of the Year perspective is a very cool practice in cyclical seeing or wisdom. The classic pagan tradition…
Winter to Spring Alchemy, New Moon this weekend, & Lunar Beltane this lunation.

I know about those hits, personally, both from family and culture. I was…

The original of course being scheduled for Ostara, or the sabbath Rites of Spring. Which were cancelled because of the…

Dark Moon is here, time of Mama Earth’s Shadow on Mama Moon. Monthly Time of Shadow-Reflection. This, the year of Collective Dark. The fog and mists have been here all year. Here, metaphysically. And here, in 3-D form, at least along the mid-Atlantic Coast of the US. What the Buddhists would call Maya, the personal…
Dark moon, shadow of Mama Earth
“Each thing creeps back into its own nature with the shelter of the dark. Darkness is the ancient womb. Night-time is womb-time. We come out of the night into the day. All creativity awakens at this primal threshold where light and darkness test and bless each other. You only discover balance in your life when…
Dark into Light: The Mother Earth Delegation of United Indigenous Nations of the North
I am reminded as I write this of the two most meaningful applications that I know of faith. The first, that faith doesn’t mean I know where I’m headed. It just means that I trust that I’ll get there safely. The second, that faith isn’t faith unless fear is present. Without the presence of fearing…
