When I was a budding practitioner, I often celebrated the turning of the year alone. Though I have fond memories of celebrating Samhain with others, I practice best in solitude. Whether you are starting your practice or are a long-time practitioner, this article offers ways to get started or enhance your current celebrations.

Blessed Samhain Season!

I am finding that my solo practice is always changing and I this artice is a nice reminder of some of the practices I've used in the past. Each celebration is different for me and often of the last several years I've found myslef dedicating much less time to

Samhain is one of the most powerful and spiritually charged times of the year, marking both an ending and a beginning. While many envision covens and group rituals during this sacred season, Samhain has always held deep meaning for those who walk the path alone. In ancient times, not every witch, he...

I've never really resonated with the Wiccan wheel of the year. There was a need to define or redefine earth-centered practices for an industrialized world. We had lost many of our cultural practices due to the Abrahamic religions' seeming need to control the labor force.

Alestair Crowley, Gerald Gardner, Doreen Valiente, and so many others who followed and refined these beliefs and practices were needed to define a new path that appeared ancient. They did this by creating new calendars and a new understanding of lost practices that honored nearly lost spirits of the land and deities.

I look forward to the balance of the Equinox and hope your experience is one of harvest or planting and preparation for the next season.

Journey Well!

Hekate is one of the goddesses I see a lot of witches working with on various socials. It's my experience that she prefers the night and shadows. She prefers to stay out of the light because she bears torches that bring light.

If you are called to work with her today is her day.

Today we lean into the shadows in honor of Hekate, the goddess of crossroads, magic, and the unseen. Today we light a torch for the crone who guards the boundaries between worlds. Light a black or pale candle (or three, if you’re feeling triple‑bodied). Leave garlic, eggs, olive oil, barley cake...

This year has been challenging, and the holiday season proved even more difficult. Struggling with seasonal depression, I often felt isolated and detached, and my cherished traditions lost their appeal. Instead of enjoying the festivities, I withdrew and barely participated. On top of that, I faced a few illnesses during the autumn and winter, which left me feeling physically drained.

I missed my annual Yule/Winter Solstice tarot reading, a ritual that usually helps me set intentions for the year ahead, which felt like a significant loss. Recognizing how far I had sunk during my favorite season, I decided to take action as the new year approached. I invested in a beautiful new tarot journal, eager to fill its pages with reflections and insights throughout 2025.

It’s time for me to reignite my passion for tarot, reconnect with myself, and embark on a journey of renewal and self-discovery in the coming year.

2,600-year-old inscription in Turkey finally deciphered — and it mentions goddess known 'simply as the Mother'

An ancient inscription decorated with lions and sphinxes is finally deciphered, and it involves the "mother of the gods."

Considering our current circumstances, Hecate, goddess of crossroads, is especially pertinent. If this moment does not represent a crossroads, it is difficult to determine what does. This evening, we pay tribute to Hecate, patron deity of witches, magick, and divination, and encourage contemplation and communion with her spirit.

This year has brought many challenges, and the last few months have tested me. I missed my reading at Strega Shop in October due to illness, but I've emerged with a renewed sense of purpose.

The recent election results prompted me to look within and discover my own strengths. While I may feel disheartened and flabbergasted, I believe in the power of resilience.

I am excited to announce that I will be reading at Strega Shop tomorrow, November 16, 2024.

Join me for a transformative reading between 11 AM and 4 PM for just $35.
