Empathy and the Empath
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. It was suggested to me by someone that empaths naturally express empathy, so if the person doesn’t feel much empathy, then he or she couldn’t possibly be an empath. I responded with, it depends on what you consider empathy. From…
Boundaries and Energy Vampires
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I’ve been experiencing some vampiric energy of late from several people.

Elemental Beginnings – A Tarot Reading
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Looking at this tarot reading, beginnings seem to be in store.

Witch as Reality, Not as Religion
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. For some witches, the practice of witchcraft is as much a religious practice as a personal reality. Others take issue with the word religious and would say it’s a spiritual practice. For witches such as myself, it’s simply a reality. But…
A New Rune Set and a Visit With Abraham-Hicks
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Yesterday, Jerry and I attended an Abraham-Hicks workshop.

A Cursin’ and a Healin’
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. To suggest that a witch can’t heal if she can’t curse is an interesting idea. As a Reiki Master and herbalist, of course I disagree. As a witch, I always thought witches were more versatile than that. And I’m not exactly…
Runecasting: A Witch’s Focused Presence
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Today I drew the runes and cast them intuitively without using an existing spread.

In Presence, We See Past Illusion
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Before I begin, I wanted to send blessings of love and healing to all of my LGBT friends and family. It’s sometimes in tragedy that we understand how important and necessary we are to each other. We cannot lose our…
Seeing Otherness
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I’ve said it before, but life in physical form is tricky. Instead of feeling our oneness with each other, all too often all we see is the otherness. Today is an example of this as another lunatic with a gun killed…

20 Minutes of Rape
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Another rape on a college campus, this time Stanford.

Rite of Awen and the Pentagram
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I’ve always liked performing the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram.

Empath Strategies: Tunnel Vision
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. What if it was never about experiencing life in duality, but simply about experiencing life? Definition limits us. The more we define something, the more narrow the box in which it lives. What if we were never supposed to…
