Every year, for the past 13 (this will be my 14th), at the end of the summer I have packed up and headed for the desert. I tend to just tell people I’m going on retreat, because that’s what it is for me. I’m off the grid, dealing with extreme weather conditions, in sacred space….

New Moon in Cancer, Moving out of Mercury Retrograde
We did our monthly New Moon Gathering tonight, and had some new people, which is always lovely. It was a powerful meditation for me.

The Importance of RSVPing
We all get busy. Life happens. Mercury Retrograde or Murphy’s Law can throw a monkey wrench into the best laid plans. We frequently think that our ability to show up (or not) for an event won’t affect anything. We even forget to let people know that our plans have changed (because, well, busy). You do…

A Very Tardy Writeup of Pantheacon
Over Presidents’ Day weekend, I attended Pantheacon in San Jose. Envision 3000 pagans, 4 days of workshops and rituals (with up to 14 of those being held simultaneously in any given time slot), plus vendors and readers and book signings and hospitality suites, in an airport hotel.

Angels, Gods, and Aliens
Throughout the known history of the world, we have had stories of encounters with otherworldly beings, who we have called angels, gods, or aliens. Many of these beings have given us the ability to write, to build, to create things way beyond our capabilities. They have shared information with us, helped us to see things…
May Newsletter
Apologies for the tardiness of this newsletter. April was eventful… Hopefully we’re back on track now. In the Northern Hemisphere, Beltane is here (or nigh, depending on how you calculate)! It is a time of fertility, a time when nature blatantly displays her beauty to being about the conception of life. Flowers and trees are…
Healing Sounds
Sound is a powerful tool; it is used cults, motivational speakers, and advertisers to influence your mood and your thoughts. You may have noticed how different music and sounds affect you. Music can make you more productive, it can energize you, and it can help you relax. Some sounds are more beneficial than others. Tonal…
The Divine Feminine
Either the Divine is everything, or it is nothing. Ok, well, sometimes it is both, but it depends on your point of view. Regardless, there is nothing that the Divine is not. Which essentially makes each of us a cell in the Body Divine. Every cell in your body contains YOUR entire blueprint within it….
New Moon and Ostara
I’ll be doing ceremony on Thursday… We are honoring both the New Moon (in Aries) and Ostara, the Spring Equinox. Additionally, we are in a Mercury Retrograde that started in Aries (new beginnings), moved into Pisces (creating emotional balance at the end of a cycle), and will move back into Aries after Mercury does direct….
