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 →

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),...

FF – I heart this Scott Cunningham quote
I'm working furiously to raise my Draenei Paladin to level 100 rewrite my novel, Wrecked for the Clarion Write-a-Thon. To help my process, along with my Microblog Mondays, and Wordless Wednesdays, I'm instituting Fractional Fridays whenever necessary until August 1st. Think Fandom Friday in a quick, I like this thing, here's a picture of it,... Continue Reading →
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 →
WW – Litha aka Summer Solstice
Since the dark moon was last night, I figured I'd do a quick update first on the ritual I posted last week. When I set things up to take a picture for the blog entry, I had this wonderful vision in my brain of heading out into the woods last night, tools in hand, and... Continue Reading →
Witchy Wednesday – New or Dark Moon?
Recently, as I started creating witchy graphics to go with these posts, something began to nag at me. It's one of those things that you've seen so many times, you don't realize you're not really seeing it, and when it suddenly comes into focus, you shout, "Eureka!" Last night, I was poking around on the... Continue Reading →
Fandom Friday – I heart Godsmack
First off, I just gotta say - Godsmack, Laurie Cabot, and Hammond Castle together in the official video for one of my favorite power raising songs? How the FRELL did I not know about this? Bad geek, bad witch, bad ME! *deep breath* While I'm taking a moment to get my brain under control, the... Continue Reading →
