Reflections on my journey with Mama Earth and Grandmother Moon
"Song of a Stone Heart" by bubug/Magdalena on Deviant Art Are you familiar with The Morrígan, a complex and perhaps misunderstood goddess from Irish lore? I love the image above, “Song of a Stone Heart” by bubug on Deviant Art (link in comments). It may not by named for The Morrígan but it certainly embodies her… Continue reading The Morrígan, Phantom Queen or a Celtic Venus?
"Nemoralia, Make a Wish" by MargotYvy on Deviant Art This year (2021), the August Full Moon in Aquarius arrives on August 22nd at 12:01 UTC (5:01 am PDT), a day that many also celebrate the Roman goddess/priestess Diana, or her Greek counterpart Artemis.

Ancient Síle na Gig carvings (source: Google) On March 18th, celebrate your female sexuality and sensuality and the Divine Feminine on Síle na Gig day. Of course, how you celebrate your sexuality and sensuality is a highly personal choice! But perhaps we should start with a simple question: Who is Síle na Gig? For those… Continue reading Honour Síle na Gig and your Self on March 18th
This year, 2019, the August Full Moon in Aquarius arrives on August 15th at 12:29 UTC, on a day that many also celebrate the Roman goddess/priestess Diana, or her Greek counterpart Artemis. Consider working with goddess-priestess Diana on this Full Moon; she is a strong ally to women, fertility and childbirth. I first made a… Continue reading A Full Moon celebration for goddess Diana
Sometimes I look at the herbal formulations I have used or created in the past, and note how so many of them are multipurpose. Without a specific header or description, the formulation could be for a herbal tea, a spell, for using in a charm or even as a loose incense. For me, that… Continue reading An Aphrodite Love Charm (and tea) for Valentine’s Day
This is most certainly an energetic day. Not only are my friends and colleagues in the US (and around the world) celebrating their Thanksgiving holiday, but the Sun has moved into Sagittarius and Grandmother Moon is now half-way through her lunar journey, and is fully illuminated, manifesting as a Full Moon in Gemini. Sun enters… Continue reading Full Moon in Gemini
Introducing Hekate Hekate (aka Hecate) is a Greek goddess associated with magic, witchcraft, necromancy, the underworld, and childbirth. She is the goddess of the three paths, goddess of the crossroads (both physical and spiritual). She is considered by many as the protectress of the oppressed, the marginalized and witches. Hekate's time is that of the Dark Moon,… Continue reading Hekate’s Night: 16-November
Samhain Goddess, image by Angie Latham Samhain is coming . . . ! Samhain is for me the most powerful point in the Wheel of the Year. It marks the beginning of a new turn of the Wheel, and the beginning of the Dark Half of the Year. It is a time when the… Continue reading Forgiveness and Release at Samhain
Some of the earliest gods and goddesses from ancient cultures are associated with heavenly bodies — the Sun, the Moon and the stars— and with the Earth itself, each attributed with a specific energy (feminine or masculine) and with specific functions, not unlike today’s Christian saints and their “patronage” (e.g. Saint Cecilia, patroness of musicians;… Continue reading August Full Moon: Celebrating Diana, goddess of The Hunt & Moon
I first heard of this spread — so fitting for us at the August Full Moon when we celebrate the goddess Diana — several years ago. It is known by several names including the Seven-Card Ellipse, Diana’s Crescent and Seven Stars. I like the simplicity of the Diana’s Bow seven-card spread and have used it… Continue reading Card Layout: Diana’s Bow
