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 →
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 →
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...

When our three kidlets were little, hubby and I started doing a "Safe Place" ritual at bedtime. A friend gave me a similar meditation to help them feel protected from some weird juju that was manifesting at the time. In the early days of doing it, we'd hold their hands, and once they'd imagined their... Continue Reading →
Earlier this month, The Smart Witch posted a quote from author Tahereh Mafi on her Facebook page, and I knew I'd eventually have to steal it use it for one of my moon photographs. Here it is, paired with a picture, taken on August 22, 2015 at 7:29pm. Speaking of Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me is... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
Yes, I know today isn't Witchy Wednesday, but since it's the birthday of the first person in the US to openly admit being Wiccan, I decided a shout out was in order. I bought my copy of Uncle Bucky's Big Blue Book soon after hubby bought Cunningham's book in '91, and it's been part of... Continue Reading →
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 →
