February is that held breath between the Winter and Spring where we aren’t quite sure about what it is that we should be doing. We’ve spent the Winter going within, taking stock of our inner worlds, and our plans for the Spring are made. But it isn’t time to put them into practice yet. Fortunately,…

Magickal Month- January 2020
There was a time when I had a lot of trouble at this time of year. I have a little bit of Seasonal Affective Disorder, and it hit me hard. I also had a rough time around my birthday, and spent a good deal of January depressed because of it. As I’ve gotten older, however,…
Magickal Month-February
February is the last bit of cold before the Spring comes, and we’re naturally beginning to think about the growth season ahead. We’re feeling the stirrings of activity as the days are getting longer and sunnier, though there’s still a strong chance of Winter weather. We can’t help but get excited when the snow drops,…
Magickal Month- February
The name February came from the Latin Februum, meaning purification. The festival named Februa was the festival of purification that was celebrated on February 15th. Purification is an interesting theme for this month, as we’ve been stuck inside all winter. The air is stale, our moods are stale, and it’s time to get some fresh…

‘Tis the season for long nights, warm drinks, and going within. What could be more perfect for that then lovingly caressing the perfect tarot deck for this introspective time of year? As I mentioned in my post My Tarot Decks for Autumn, I’ve been using a different deck for each month. Celebrating the passage of…

We’re about a week out from Yule, and you know what that means! The Autumntide Tarot Reading is gone, long live the Wintertide Tarot Reading. Or at least until March. This reading will help you tap into the energies of Winter- going within, self-awareness, and planning for your next year! What do you really need…
Tarot- January 31st, 2015
This week’s draw is from my very first deck, the Sacred Rose Tarot. My father bought it for me when I was 12 at the Sphynx bookstore in Atlanta. (Does anyone else remember the Sphynx?) He kept asking me if I was SURE that I wanted these for my birthday, and I kept insisting that…
The Witches Reel
I have a confession. I’m obsessed with this song. I found it in the very earliest days of Napster, and have never been able to find the same version again, though all versions seem to be pretty good. Here are a few. I have to say that this last group looks like a…

How fibro feels.
I try not to bitch and whine too much about health stuff here. Honestly, nobody really wants to know that much detail about the pain that others go through, and who can blame them? Life is filled with pain and health trouble, so why dwell on it? But here’s the thing. I tell people that…

Imbolc, Pando, and the Korean sauna
I haven’t been very active here or anywhere else lately. You see, January is very tough for me. In addition to the usual seasonal depression that I think we all feel around this time of year, I have a lot of birthday issues/family issues/bad memories from Januaries past that pretty much put me in a…
