The time of the Full Cold Moon in Cancer is almost upon us! Last month when I wrote about the Full Mourning Moon in Gemini, I quoted an article by Sara Coughlin over at the relatively non-pagan site, Refinery29. I figured I'd take a peek and see if she'd written anything for this full moon,... Continue Reading →
WW – Yule aka Winter Solstice
I had such high hopes for Yule this year. Even though I'm still recovering from surgery, I thought I'd be far enough along at this point to plan a family meal, set up a simple ritual, and sit back to enjoy celebrating the return of the sun. However, my body had other plans - no... Continue Reading →
WW – Dark Sagittarius Moon
On Friday, December 11th, the Dark Sagittarius Moon occurs. Since my astrology skills are still rusty, I turned to a couple of websites for information to create my graphic. I figured I'd share the most helpful bits below - A simple overview, from YOGANONYMOUS New moons generally turn our attention to new beginning since they... Continue Reading →
WW – Free Tarot Reading, 12-2
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).

WW – Full Mourning Moon in Gemini
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 →
Witchy Wednesday – Dark Moon Release Spell
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 →

WW – Samhain (Witch’s New Year) approaches
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....

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 →
WW – The word Witch
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 →
MM – Brewing time
Last Monday, I whined..., err, wrote about my frustration with my plot difficulties. In a beautiful show of synchronicity, my FB newsfeed this week has been full of things related to my story (the Akashic Records, Technomancy, and the veil thinning, to name a few). While I enjoyed my little pity party (because it's not... Continue Reading →
WW – Dark Libra moon
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 →
