Changes
The light is changing! The robins and geese are back! Tulips and daylilies are sending their first leaves up! Early March: suddenly the days seem so much longer – and they are. We have a whole hour more sunlight each day than we did…
Ethical Prayer
What do you do when someone you care about asks you to pray a prayer you don’t feel good about? Many of us have been in rituals where someone offered a prayer like one of these: What do you do? You care about this…
Where’s the Fire?
There’s no snow this year, but it’s still time for warm sweaters, hot chocolate, and fire pits. We’ve celebrated Imbolc, and we’re in that time of waiting for spring. Fire is our favorite element right now. We can engage with it through divination or…
Goodbye, sunflowers!

The Flip Side
There’s always a flip side. A friend made me a piece of magickal jewelry: a spiral of jewelry wire. Wear it one way, it spirals sunwise. Flip it over, it spirals widdershins. In our north-centric way of looking at things, east to south to…
How do you choose?
There’s no single right way to choose your magickal name, but there might be a less-right way. One of my friends says that taking a phrase that encapsulates your fantasy of who you want to be (and maybe sticking “Lady” or “Lord” in front…
An unplanned absence
Sometimes you hit a wall. In a world of bigger-better-faster-more, at some point each one of us reaches a limit. We have to stop and breathe. Recharge. Recharge. Like a cell phone. We’ve learned to think of ourselves as machines. Of course we can…
