Reflections on my journey with Mama Earth and Grandmother Moon
Wisdom from Grandmother Moon "If you ever want your soul to dance in the clouds, you will at some point have to juggle lightning and taste the thunder."- Christopher Poindexter, from "Remington Typewriter Poetry" It may feel like we are doing just that at present — juggling lightning, tasting thunder. In this time of initiatory… Continue reading Let your soul dance in the clouds

Image by Dean Moriarty from Pixabay "May you live in interesting times" is a phrase that is often used ironically. There is an assumption that life is better in non-interesting times, and that "interesting" times are in fact quite troublesome. Time will tell. But interesting times are also opportunities to examine our life, our choices and how we… Continue reading Responding to Change in Interesting Times
Some start the day by pulling a tarot or oracle card, and I very frequently do that. But I also practise a little bibliomancy, randomly opening a page in one or more treasured books. Most days I work with either Embers: One Ojibway’s Meditations by Richard Wagamese, or Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic… Continue reading Thought for the Day: Raise your awareness to your inner chatter

If you feel that connection to Self slipping, take a moment and breathe slowly... deeply... connect to your heart...… Continue reading MoonDay Musings: Find your Inner Peace
This year (2019), the Sun entered Leo on July 23rd and we began tuning into the 8:8 Lion's Gate power portal which peaks on 8/8/2019 and ends (closes) when the Sun moves into Virgo on August 23rd. You may see various dates for when the portal opens and closes, but all agree that the peak… Continue reading Lion’s Gate 8:8 Portal
What does creativity mean in your life? How does it manifest? Often, when I am working with clients — or talking with friends — I hear folks denigrate their own creative abilities.... denying that they have them... feeling hemmed in by traditional definitions of creativity.... afraid to consider that they might be creative at all.… Continue reading MoonDay Musings: Creativity
In this lunar month (August 1st - 30th), I am exploring and honouring the Priestess archetype, which we are also exploring in our "13 Moons, 13 Goddesses" course (see footnote). The Priestess archetype has been calling to me my whole life. I was always drawn to ritual, everday sacred, magic, Grandmother Moon, and my guides,… Continue reading Signs you may be a Priestess
In the last lunar month and the Full Flower Moon, we explored the theme of Blossoming, Opening. As I contemplated this month’s theme, I sat in the energy of Mama Earth and how she is currently expressing and manifesting her Self in my environment. Initially, I felt a strong pull towards a theme of “Attainment,… Continue reading Pause & Reflect with the Gemini New Moon
