Back by popular demand! Here is another free Tarot reading, 12-2 version (for December 2nd - I have to think of a clever way to differentiate the names of my posts). Here is a picture of the three cards I drew, from my Universal Waite Tarot Deck. Pick the one that resonates with you, then... Continue Reading →
Tonight is the depressingly titled, but very seasonally appropriate Full Mourning Moon in Gemini. I found the best explanation of this particular moon at an unexpectedly place - Refinery29 (yeah, the fashion and style website - I was wicked surprised too!). The article is called, Why You Should Care About Tomorrow's Full Moon by Sara... Continue Reading →
Over the past few weeks, I've noticed a Tarot card type trend with the witchy people I follow on Facebook and the Blogosphere. Many kindhearted and generous readers are offering either free one card readings, or posting three cards and revealing the interpretations later in the day. Two people in particular have inspired this post... Continue Reading →
It's somewhat ironic, in an Alanis Morissette kinda way, that as a writer, I had a hard time writing a Dark Moon Release spell. When I first started studying Wicca, all the books (yes, back in the dark days before the interwebz was a thing) had beautiful, poetic spells that I felt needed to be... Continue Reading →
A week from today, Wednesday November 11th at 12:47pm EST the Dark Scorpio Moon arrives (also known as the New Moon in Scorpio). According to the site, Cafe Astrology, the Dark Scorpio Moon is a good time for - taxes, accounting, intimacy issues, psychological examinations, research, self-examination, getting rid of old things. I plan to... Continue Reading →
It's almost here! Samhain, the most magical and witchy day of the Wheel of the Year arrives on October 31st. Yes, the same day as Halloween (which I'll talk about for this Friday's Fandom post), but for witches and many pagans, this is the end of the old year, and the beginning of the new....

October 27th, 2015 at 8:05am (EST) is the Super Full Hunter's Moon in Taurus. It's also the last of the Super Moons for 2015. Here's a bit more information about Super Moons from The Alabama Media Group - August's full moon (No. 4) was also a supermoon but was overshadowed by September's full moon on... Continue Reading →
For many years, I would tell people (when asked, of course) that I was Wiccan. I hesitated to use the word Witch, because of all the baggage attached to it. I think I was hoping that by starting with an unfamiliar word (to most people, back in the 90s), it could be a blank slate,... Continue Reading →
Next week, on October 12 2015 (8:05pm EST, so on the 13th in some areas) the dark Libra moon arrives. As always, I created a graphic. I tried photographing the stones against a mossy background this time. I found the Herkimer Diamond and the Smoky Quartz got a bit lost on my usual New Hampshire... Continue Reading →
When I was researching this blog, I was surprised to find almost nothing on the interwebz for Issac Bonewits quotes. You'd think that someone who literally wrote the book on magic (yellow magic, specifically) would have at least one or two Pinterest boards devoted to him. Nope. Nada. Not a quote to be found. So...

One of the reasons I started doing Witchy Wednesday posts was to give the rediscovery of my witchiness a focus. Too many times over the years, I'd think, "Gee, I wonder what I should do for Mabon/Litha/etc next week? I should look some stuff up." Then a week later, I'd realize I'd forgotten, and the...

I've talked a little about Mercury Retrograde in two previous posts this year - first in January (click here for, "You spin me"), then again in May (click here for, "New moon spinning"). Here's what I've put together for this third and final spin of the year. MR begins on September 17th, 2015 at 1:09... Continue Reading →
