New moon today
Today’s new moon has me in a mind of the importance of the concept, “Both, And~” It is a depth development premise, the ability to discern nuances and subtleties within ourselves. As in starting within, how we relate to our Self, literally how we speak and think to ourselves. This translates to the experience of…
Winter to Spring Alchemy, New Moon this weekend, & Lunar Beltane this lunation.
Dear Ones, Some thoughts on the dark moon this weekend & New Moon occurring Sunday into Monday (depending on where you are)~ This weekend (for those of us in the Northern Hemi) we end the lunation of In-Between: the moon cycle that moved us up from under the Earth in Winter’s station and sprouted us…
Shadow Work and Devotion. At Lunar Imbolc.
Devotion. It’s a wrought word, full with personal associations, and so I write it tenderly, for any and all that have been injured by traditions that forced or coerced dogma and rigidity, those direct or indirect punches to the developing, authentic soul. I know about those hits, personally, both from family and culture. I was…

Alchemy Thoughts, on the last week of Summer
We bonfired in person the night of full moon last week, it was the first time that the co-op I founded, and our two different Women’s Mysteries circles, gathered as one this whole fiscal year. The original of course being scheduled for Ostara, or the sabbath Rites of Spring. Which were cancelled because of the…
Dark Moon Clear-Seeing. The Power of the Hag.
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.
