If you, like many people, have wanted to explore tarot but haven’t been able to stick to it, why not take a page out of the “advent calendar” idea? You have probably already seen a bunch of advent calendars in your lifetime. There is no magickal history to advent calendars. They originated in …

Celebrate NO-vember!
Part of me celebrating NO-vember is literally saying “No.” I announced to my family that this was going to be a low-key Christmas. I refuse to get caught up in the cycle of over-buying and debt associated with the holidays. I don’t feel like putting time, energy, or effort into coordinating …
New Year, More ME!
While most folks celebrate the “new year” on New Year’s Eve, I celebrate my New Year on my birthday. And, if you know me, you may know that I celebrate my birthday for an entire month. I do this for many reasons: It is my reminder that YES, DAMNIT, it IS ALL about ME! When you have created a …
Happy Earth Day to ME!
Yes – 59 years ago TODAY, a beautiful, brown, wide-eyed Scorpion was born! I am proud of who she is, how she’s grown, and knowing (first-hand!) what she has survived, what she accomplished, and how much she has given others. I am grateful to BE her – IN FULL. Gone are the days of trying to fit …
The Magick & Science of Sacrifice
Rituals are moving prayers that include intention, emotion, action, and often, repetition. If you have been reading the last few newsletters, you may have already identified what you’d like to experience more of in your life. (If not – do so now!) You may have also identified what sacrifice …
The Magick of Letting Go
Let’s face it: Sometimes, “letting go” is just hard. In my work, I’ll often do readings for people who are stuck on the past. Be it a person, place, a lifestyle, or a job, fully grieving is the part of “letting go” that can either allow you to move on or keep you tethered to the past. Here’s …
Clues from Nature
In the last newsletter, I introduced the idea of communing with your Ancestors. While we all think of “blood relatives” when we think “Ancestors,” – I want to remind you that plants are, in fact, our oldest ancestors. For that reason, you should commune with plants! One of the most common things …
Thinking & Practicing Out of the Box
Our culture (as Americans) tends to shove all kinds of “standards” down our throats. Standards of Beauty: Mostly European :o(Standards of Living: You, know - spouses, white picket fences manicured yards, kids, and 4o1k’s.Relationship Standards: You are not complete unless you are in a …
It’s THAT Time Again!
Ahhhhhh - Mercury Retrograde! More than any other planet, Astrologers are famous for reminding us common folk of the warnings that come with Mercury in retrograde: Disrupting travel, technology glitches, canceled appointments, re-reading fine print, better yet – not signing any contracts – and …
The Magick of Self-Care
Witchcraft and self-care are very personal practices that differ from person to person. At its core, self-care is less about luxury and more about our actions and efforts to take care of ourselves. This can be as simple as taking 15 minutes a day to meditate or saying "no" and supporting boundaries …
A Witch’s Guide to Abundant Living
I was recently invited to share insight on "abundance" with Enchanted Living – a beautiful high-end magazine for those of us bold enough to call ourselves "Witches"! I decided I'd share the article with you, in hopes you will be able to track down this magazine and subscribe :o) Abundance is …
Witchcraft for Self-Care
In the busy world, we live in, taking care of ourselves first has been seen as selfish – especially if you are a woman. As women, we are supposed to juggle jobs, kids, spouses, manage meals and clean the house – while "good men" make the majority of the money. Truth be told, I am a much better …
Culture Clinging
A popular meme circulated on social media featuring a picture of Keanu Reeves and this message: “The truth is, The Matrix was a documentary.” I agree. In fact, I’ve noticed that there are 2 “camps” of people: Those who recognize “The Matrix” & want to leave its clutches.Those who don’t …
Low Magick is High Magick
The study of Magick is the study of the Self. Increased personal power is the reward you gain when you take the time out to “color outside of the lines”. I have been really talking up Intuition Witch Intensive because I am SO excited about teaching the NEW stuff. The “new stuff” …
