I am Pagan and I vote. Even when, or especially when, they don’t want me to. It is election season for many in the country. August brings local elections not only to Tennessee but to other states as well. Here in Tennessee, we get to celebrate Lughnasadh by making our voices heard at the ballot box. Unless you early voted like I did. And the big election happening on November 5 is already on everyone’s mind. The Presidential election happening... Read more

A few months ago I wrote about goddess archetypes in two different blog posts. One post was The Dark Goddess Archetype and the other was Who is the Goddess? Many writers of fiction will tell you that sometimes the stories write themselves, regardless of the author’s plans. I think this can be said of many other types of writers, myself included. The Who is the Goddess blog was supposed to go in a different direction and also have a second... Read more

This coming Sunday is Father’s Day, and it brought to mind an old thought that I have about the Divine Masculine and men in Paganism. Paganism is for men too. This seems like an obvious statement, especially if you look at the history of witchcraft and Wicca, or the often patriarchal cultural and spiritual systems of our ancestors. Yet in the modern movement of spirituality and Paganism, its practitioners and devotees are largely women or those who present in a... Read more

Bring in the May and bring in the Summer! Technically Summer does not begin until June 21 but May often makes us feel like Summer, and all of its festivities, has arrived. May can be a wonderful time of year, with great weather, outdoor events, and riotous flowers in bloom. May and the summer can also be a season of work. The Empress Tarot Card In my mind, the month of May can be compared to the art and meaning... Read more

The concept and the imagery of the north star keeps showing up in my life. And at this point, I can’t pretend it’s not a message. While I feel confident that it is no longer a coincidence, I am not sure if I know yet what the message is. Sometimes these things take time to figure out. The idea of the north star is not a new concept for me. I’m not saying that I had never considered the north... Read more

The Goddess is alive and magick is afoot! I believe the gods are generally active in our world and our lives, but I feel as if The Goddess is making Her presence felt more obviously now. My last blog post was about the Dark Goddess aspect of The Goddess. And coming up in just a couple of weeks, on Wednesday, May 1, I will be on Karen Tate’s Voices of the Sacred Feminine Podcast to talk about the Dark Goddess.... Read more

The Dark Goddess. Who is She? What is She? The dark goddess rules over everything we fear. She offers us wisdom in exchange for pain. The dark goddess is sometimes terrifying, her lessons often painful, but the dark goddess dwells within each of us and is a vital part of our being. She is the force that shines within us in our darkest hour and the face we turn to when we seek rebirth. She Teaches Us She likes nothing... Read more

Astrology is prevalent throughout tarot, as many tarot practitioners know. On the spring equinox, Aries season begins and takes us through mid-April. Many people may be familiar with The Emperor card in tarot being the big Aries card, and it’s easy to understand why. But did you know there are more cards in tarot associated with each zodiac sign aside from their major Arcana card? For Aries, the suit of wands contains many cards that capture the drive and passion... Read more

Earlier this year I wrote about the numerological value for 2024, the number 8. That blog post focused on the Strength tarot card (number 8 in the Rider-Waite-Smith system) and how it can help us through this year. The major arcana Strength card is not the only card in tarot that encourages us to be strong and persevere. All of the 8 cards in tarot reflect our need to be strong, just in different aspects of our lives. The Meaning... Read more

Cord cutting is a popular topic amongst spiritual practitioners. It can be a useful tool in helping you move on from a relationship or situation, and may be considered a form of self-care. Cord cutting is a spiritual exercise that a person does when they need help releasing unhealthy energetic ties from a relationship or situation that has ended, or no longer serves them. Cord cutting allows us to assert a measure of control over a situation that may be... Read more
