Tarot- May 15th, 2016

Sorry this one is late.  I had a most excellent date night with husbear last night, and it kind of slipped my mind in all the fun we were having.  However, it’s still early in the week, so I think we’re good! I’m using the Wildwood Tarot again because I really do want to learn…

Tarot- May 8th, 2016

Yay!   I got a new deck!   This is the Wildwood Tarot by Mark Ryan and John Matthews.   I’ve gone back and forth in  whether or not I wanted this one,  and all the reasons why I was hesitant are legitimate.   The cardstock is flimsy,  the art on the back of the…

Vegan Beltane menu

We celebrated Beltane a little late this year.  I needed a combination of time and money to come together, and that didn’t come together until Tuesday the 3rd.  As that also happens to be Billy Ocean day, we were doubly festive. We’ve been eating mostly vegan, all vegetarian for a while now.  I love eating…

Tarot- May 1st, 2016 (actually pulled on May 4th)

Sorry about the lateness of this one.  Beltane happened.  And a Beltane feast.  And staying at my mom’s house.  And honestly, I also forgot.

Bewitching Your Day 1- Introduction

    ********************************************* After the happy chaos of NaPoWriMo, I’m kind of enjoying the idea of releasing something creative each and every day into the universe.  I recorded 22 episodes of this podcast, almost 2 years ago, and then recorded another 13 some time later.  My original intention was to create 366 episodes, but I…

Ring of Protection Spell A ring of protection, I cast around. All ill will is hereby bound. Keep away from me, negativity goodbye.

Throat chakra stones

So, a few months ago, I decided to do some work on healing my heart chakra from grief.  It went pretty well, though the real test will come the next time ‘something bad’ happens.  It remains to be seen whether I handle it gracefully or fall apart. Now that I’ve done that work, as I…

But now we celebrate his union divine With the Goddess,…
