I had a rather difficult time writing today's post about the upcoming Dark Moon in Virgo (and not just because my brain is melting, thanks to another 1,000 degree day). In this past year, as I've rediscovered my witchy side, I've been reading, researching, and reacquainting myself with basic ritual protocol, but since I'm more... Continue Reading →
WW – Pagan Pride Day
It's rather apropos that my Musing/Microblog Monday post was about Raymond Buckland (who is considered the first person in the US to openly admit being Pagan), and today's is all about being loud, proud, and Pagan. I first heard about Pagan Pride Day being held in September a number of years ago (in fact, I... Continue Reading →
WW – Pisces Super Full Moon
Saturday, August 29th will be the first of three Super Full Moons in 2015, which means this Pisces Super Full Moon (wow, say that three times fast!) will have a bit of extra emotional kick. So, what exactly is a Super Moon? I went to the EarthSky website, and found this tidbit of info -... Continue Reading →
WW – Happy birthday Ann Moura
Tomorrow (August 20th) is the birthday of Ann Moura, the author of many Green Witchcraft books. I have to be honest - I hadn't heard of her before browsing the Pagan/Wiccan Calendar over at About.com, looking for Witchy Wednesday ideas. After poking around the interwebz a bit, I decided to download sample chapters from two... Continue Reading →
WW – Dark Leo moon
This Friday, August 14th at 10:53am EST brings us the Dark Leo Moon (otherwise known as the New Moon in Leo). Here's a graphic I created for the occasion - feel free to share it. Also, if you're able, try to take advantage of the opportunity to see the Perseid meteor shower during that moonless... Continue Reading →
WW – Lammas Painted Bread
This past weekend was so ridiculously hot, and life was so ridiculously interesting, that my thoughts of doing a Lammas ritual disappeared faster than the ice on the back of my neck. However, I wanted to do something to mark the occasion, and since it was time to make another couple of loaves for the... Continue Reading →
WW – Birthday & Lammas & Blue Moon, Oh My!
Since today is my 50th birthday, I was going to be shameless and ask my readers for a gift from my list below. Then I felt guilty. Then I remembered I'll be going in for a surgical procedure in the near future, and decided life is too short to be wishy-washy about wishes. (Wow. Passive... Continue Reading →
Witchy Wednesday – Leo: Wondering Where The Lions Are
Ever since this song by Bruce Cockburn came out when I was little (a thousand years ago), I've always associated it with my favorite sign of the zodiac. Even though, as it turns out, it's not really about lions, I still love it. Today, the sun arrived in the glorious sign of Leo, so I... Continue Reading →

WW – Magical Month
Rabbit, rabbit for this magical month!! First, a correction - in my last Witchy Wednesday post, I stated the Full Thunder Moon was tomorrow night. I apparently got this information from a site that uses UTC (Coordinated Universal Time - the order of the letters is apparently a compromise between the English and the French),...

WW – Full Thunder Moon
Since the two graphics I created for today's post are fairly self-explanatory, this is essentially a #wordlesswednesday entry. To mark the occasion of Scott Cunningham's birth on June 27th 1956 - Information on the upcoming Full Thunder Moon on July 1st - Bright Wordless, Witchy Wednesday blessings to all! July, The Thunder Moon. Also called... Continue Reading →
