Reflections on my journey with Mama Earth and Grandmother Moon
Sharing one of my favourite post-Solstice / New Year practices (and yes, I share this every year!!!) Many of us have cleansing rituals (both sacred and secular) associated with the new calendar year. For some it’s a simple clean sweep throughout the home, after all the holiday celebrations.

We tend that fire with our spiritual practices, so that we can also keep… Continue reading Keep your Inner Candle lit
