With Mercury now direct, I officially welcome you to the new year. Happy New Year!!!!!
Read MoreThis time last year, I was sitting at my altar thinking about what I wanted to do in life. I took a hard look inside and started wondering what life would be like if things were different, if I was actually doing the things that brought me joy all of the time. I remembered how much I enjoyed writing, and how it was a useful tool to share the healing messages from the divine.
Read MoreWith March around the corner, now is the time when my coven starts to focus on Ordinations. It's always a joyous time of year, though it's also the busiest. Between February and March, many of us are lucky to get even 1 day off from having to do a thing. Most of us maintain day jobs, several of us have families, and we all have lots of planning and coordinating around PantheaCon and then Ordination Retreat - not to mention our social lives. So, now that PantheaCon is done and over with, the focus shifts to the next thing.
Read MoreSettling back into the world post-PantheaCon is a strange and mysterious thing. Every year, new things happen; and every year, I never know how to go forth and spread the happiness that fills my heart. This year was filled with ritual and learning, where in years past it was filled more with lecture and discussion. I've experienced so much, and I'm still struggling with the words.

Once a person is firmly in the adulthood category, we generally stop paying attention to the shifts that still continue to happen.
Read MoreAt the new year, we see masses of people choosing to make some sort of Resolution. Sometimes they choose to take on the one, big, commitment to finally losing those 5lbs that they've been trying to get rid of for years. Sometimes they chose something else equally as challenging, or multiple somethings that are bound to get lost track of. Often times, though not always, those plans fail to work. They fail because they are based on societal norms of what people should be. They fail because it's easier to be trapped in the box of what other people want for us, than to live the life we truly desire to be living. There is a better way.
Read MoreIn our day to day lives, we hear an abundance of language. There are dialects and slight variations on the same general language in every region of the world. Every culture has its' own way of communicating verbally. What if there was another, non-verbal, way of communication? How could we revolutionize the world?
Read MoreOh the things you learn when you jump in to new adventures... I've had some great ideas in the past week - most of which happen when I'm nowhere near a place to write them down. I've found, too, that the ones that I have been able to write down in the same moment that they occurred often don't also have the full extent of the feeling that came with it.
