Sometimes the Answer has a Few Levels

This moon cycle has been one of refocusing my path and my career, as well as refining my approach. As is typical for this psychopomp, action in arena B brings results in arena A, but such is the way of things. I pulled a card tonight, during my Full Moon meditation. As an aside, it…

Observations from the Labyrinth on Yom Kippur

I’ve resumed my labyrinth practice for the month of October, though certainly not at the level of the 40 day devotional I did this past spring. It started mostly as a way to easy my passage through Mercury retrograde and to support me through the thinning of the veils. I did a walk today, and…

Into the Darkness

I won’t be doing a public New Moon Ceremony this weekend. My dear friends, who were going to host, had their schedule shifted by the early arrival of their new son. Additionally, Samhain took more out of me than I anticipated, so I’ll be honoring the Dark Moon privately. This doesn’t mean I can’t still…

And so it begins…

Welcome to eclipse season! And a Full Moon! And renewed solar activity! And the thinning of the veil! And Mercury retrograde! …And some other stuff too, I’m sure… For all I write about Mercury Retrograde and Lunar cycles, I am not an astrologer. I play, but I have so many lovely colleagues whose passion it…

October is About Renewal

As we approach the autumnal thinning of the veil, the Universe asks us to take stock, to get rid of the old, and to reinvent ourselves if necessary. If we don’t do it consciously, the Universe may handle the details, which is not usually preferable. Sometimes, of course, regardless of how consciously we work our…
