One thing that really keeps me grounded during times of change (and things have been changing a lot lately) is my daily spiritual practice. These little things that I do morning and night and throughout my day really help me to remember who I am and what’s important to me. It’s taken me a few…

May New Moon- Bee
Bees are known for being busy. And that’s exactly how my month has gone. I’ve had SO MUCH to worry about, and SO MUCH to do. I’m stuck between being proud of myself for perservering and just being exhausted. So we’ll see how everything falls out. In Greek mythology, bees were variously associated with Aphrodite,…
February New Moon- Oracle
In this month’s bibliomancy adventure, we find our finger on the entry for Oracle. It explains that the oracle was seen as an intermediary between the divine and humankind, and the shrines of oracles were centers of spirituality, not just fortune-telling. So how does this apply to me? Is this divination telling me that I…
January New Moon- Alder
So I found today’s bibliomancy find a little curious. When I think of tree magick, I think of the Celtic tree months. And the month of Alder (Fearn) takes place from March 18- April 14th. Therefore, it represents the energy of Spring and new beginnings. But here we are in the middle of Winter, far…
December New Moon- Tarot Cards
This is a continuation of my new moon bibliomancy practice, where I choose a random passage in The Woman’s Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects to focus on for the next lunation. For this moon cycle, I chose ‘tarot cards’. This one is really funny to me. I’ve been thinking a lot about tarot lately,…
November New Moon- The Milky Way
This is a continuation of my new moon bibliomancy project, where on the new moon, I choose a new symbol to consider/study/think about during the next lunation. Last month was toad, this month is the Milky Way. I suppose that this month’s symbol is a reminder that we’re a tiny, insignificant part of a dazzlingly…
October New Moon- Toad
In my last post, I mentioned that I was going to start using bibliomancy to choose a symbol for each lunation during each new moon. My first pick for this first month was toad. You have NO IDEA how perfect this is. When I first meditated on my spirit animal, lo these many years ago,…
Bibliomancy and the New Moon
My spiritual practice has been in need of a refresh lately. EVERYTHING has been in need of a refresh, really. But I got through this last bout of depression and the related apathy, and it’s time to get on with life again. In that vein, I’ve been interested in writing again after a long, long…
Solitary New Moon Tea and Ritual
The new moon is a time to go within and reflect. This is the start of a new moon cycle where we can begin again, set our intentions, and deal with any inner work that needs to be done. So the energies of this moon are rest, reflection, going deep within, and deciding on our…
Bewitching the Moon February 26- Cleansing, clearing, and excavating a 13 year old altar
Saltier than normal salty language warning! :0)
Things to let go of.
I’m working on a ritual that I’ll be doing on the new moon on June 8th. I’m feeling bogged down in everything lately, and I need to let go. I need to clear my brain so that I can move onto bigger and better. I’ve internalized a lot of anger and sadness about a lot…
