I have always been a big believer in forging your own path and practices. Learning directly from our Guides, exploring a variety of frameworks and structures, listening to different and opposing ideas, creation through inspiration, developing personal tools, experimenting with all of it and finding what works for you. Crane Practice isn’t instructions to follow, it is frameworks and tools to help guide you to developing your own path, and that is exactly what this book is. Each one of... Read more

In the modern perspective, a Death Doula attends and walks with those who are at the end of their life. Throughout history though, Death Doulas held a much larger role around death. Death Doulas were the bridge between the physical plane and plane of spirits. Their work included walking with the dead, as well as, walking with those who were dying. They served as necromancers (communication, not raising the dead back into physical form). As Reapers, walking the Soul to... Read more

My big project this year was finishing the Grimoire of the Crane book. It was quite the undertaking as writing a book always is. This becomes more so when you are fitting decades of work into a cohesive framework, with tools and exercises, for others to build their own practices from. This article isn’t about the book though, it is about what happens after an undertaking like that. When we have completed the task and the transformations within ourselves due... Read more

Our ISP had some server issues which led to a 10 day internet outage that started on July 1st. Because we live deep in the country and nestled in a valley in the foothills, which means we do not get cell signal either when the wifi is down. It is the downfall of being the with in the woods – when the internet goes down, we are completely cut off from the outside world. Besides a few trips to town... Read more

The way we experience the seasons is not a cookie-cutter thing. It also can change when we are different stages (ages) in our life. As I have aged and deepened in my own practices, my movement in the seasons have also changed. What movement they represent is different for me. Summer and I are not Friends When I was young summer was freedom. It encompassed the months of free movement, exploration, experiences, and new discoveries. I loved the warmth of... Read more

Soul Runes are a divination tool, and complete magical system, specific to Crane Practice, though they can be used by anyone. These Runes and Rune system can be used as simply, or as complex, as a practitioner makes them. To get started though, you first need a basic understanding of them, how to craft your own, and ways to get started with them. As with everything in Crane Practice, the structures around a tool are a place to help you... Read more

How did we end up here? A place where Duality is seen as a negative thing that must be squashed? Ok. yes I am being a little over-dramatic here, but the truth is there does seem to be some misunderstandings around Dualities and what it means to work within Dualities from my perspective. It all started when I was searching for a specific meme – what I was confronted with was several memes discussing the toxicity of Duality. I even... Read more

Magical Seals are most commonly associated with Spirit work/ communication, but they can also be powerful self contained spells. Meaning that they already contain all the magical energies and core intentions woven into them, all you have to do is draw, charge, and add your specific intention on-top. They can be used to create permanent spells by incorporating them into something, such as carving or sewing them into an item. You can add them to other magical workings, like jars... Read more

As you may know I am a bookworm. When it comes to Witchy/ Occult books, I love to read about people’s personal experiences and interpretations. It allows a glimpse into different ideas and expressions of those ideas, because in practice, magic is personal. Being Summer time, and the month of the longest day, I decided to see what books were out there concerning Solar Magic specifically – and I only found one called Sun Magic, and that one seems to... Read more
