I like to wait until inspiration to write about our cosmic themes, until I hear something that signals recognition in me, a little spark to write about. Perhaps (read: entirely) because I have spent the last six months slogging through a muted, sort of stoned, occasionally sharply painful peat bog of grief, I have not … Continue reading Pluto →

The tarot card for Scorpio is Death. If you are a fan of tarot, you know that Death does not necessarily mean you or someone you know is headed off this mortal coil. It is, as most tarot readers (who still subsist on happy customers’ tips) are quick to say, not so bad. “The Tower … Continue reading The first week of Scorpio Season; or, these days of in-between. →

I realize now I didn't write about Cancer season. That's because it's unfathomable to me. Get it? The water? It's water stuff. Idk about that. But seriously, I was too overwhelmed by July-in-St.-Louis and the emotional depth of our current circumstances to articulate much. Now here we are, in Leo season, and I'm here for … Continue reading Aquarius, the Star, and Leo Season →

Originally, I set down to write “On Banishment,” which will be a separate post. But when I started my notes for it, I realized I had made notes a few weeks ago captioned "On Justice." This is a card in the Tarot I drew for nearly all my clients, and myself: 1) before the 'rona … Continue reading On Justice →

So here’s where we get into dreams that are beyond “just a dream.”  They can contain messages from the meta-consciousness--I am a big believer in the psychic cloud, the idea that we are all connected up top somehow. Also, in dreams, spirits or deities beyond the tangible world could be reaching out to you. And … Continue reading Dream Interpretation: Magical →

Hi. Have your dreams been weird af? Let’s talk about it. I had so much to say on this subject, I decided to divide it into two passages: mundane dream interpretation, and, next week, magical dream interpretation. Shout out to Gemini season!  Dreams are a favorite witchy concept of mine. They show us, through enigmatic … Continue reading Dream Interpretation: Mundane →

Welcome to the season of doubles, where every truth has two sides! Welcome to an air sign, where words and concepts nourish us like good grub! Welcome to a mutable month, where adjustment is the name of the game! (And then adjusting again, as changes come.) Welcome to Gemini, a month of masks, each one real and yet easily discarded! ...

This week we survived the Scorpio full moon in Taurus. This moon is known to be a doozy. The Taurus-Scorpio bridge is perhaps the most volatile of the Zodiac. As fixed signs, Tauruses and Scorpios have a rep for taking things deeply personally. ...

May 1st is known on the witch’s calendar as Beltane, and it is literally a time to get lit--bonfires and bacchanalia are the name of the game today. This may be a mixed metaphor since bacchanal refers to the god Bacchus, but I figure you’ll forgive me. The point is, today is a great day to indulge in an altered state, while dancing around something that is on fire. For example: The System. ...

This week Wednesday was the Taurus new moon. A new moon occurs when it is in the same sign as the sun--so the Taurus new moon is always in Taurus. This gives the atmosphere a double-whammy intensity of the sign we are currently in. (If your sun sign and moon sign are the same, you were born under a new moon!) ...
