This coming Sunday, October 30th, the Dark Scorpio Moon arrives (also known as the New Moon in Scorpio). For a little info about it, from someone more well-versed in astrology than myself, here's a snippet of an article over at Elephant Journal. New Moon in Scorpio: Only those who Believe in Magic will Find It.... Continue Reading →
Last month, for Mabon, I talked about spending this year coming up with my own, simple rituals for every spoke on the Wheel of the Year. However, given my current circumstances (on crutches), I've had to come up with something slightly different for a Samhain ritual. I luckily had access (thanks to my eldest helping...

Last year, not only did I do a regular blog post about Samhain, I also had one called, "5 Witchy ways to celebrate Halloween" published on the SheKnows site. For Samhain 2016, I plan to put together another simple ritual like I did for Mabon. I'll have that posted for next week's Witchy Wednesday -... Continue Reading →
On Sunday October 16th, the Super Full Aries Moon (also known as the Hunter's Moon) arrives. Oh, and did you know that the October Full Moon is the only moon of the year to stay in the sky all night (rising at sunset & setting at sunrise)? To suss out what this all means, I... Continue Reading →
On Friday, not only do we get a New/Dark Moon, we get a Dark Libra Black Moon. First up - just what is a Black Moon? Essentially, it's the New Moon version of a Blue Moon, when it happens twice in once month. Here's the science of it from Science Alert - A rare 'black... Continue Reading →
For Ostara, way back in March 2015 (serendipitously, the seasonal bookend to tomorrow's Mabon), I started putting together graphics for my Witchy Wednesday posts. I did them for each "spoke" on the Wheel of the Year, as well as the Full and New/Dark moons. The idea was to get myself back in a magical frame... Continue Reading →
Next Thursday marks the official start of Autumn. I had no idea there was a bit of controversy in Pagan circles about the "proper" name for this particular occasion until last year, when a Facebook post by Christopher Penczak got me Googling. However, when all is said and done, I have no problem using Mabon... Continue Reading →
On Friday, September 16th, the Full Pisces Moon arrives, along with a lunar eclipse. While it won't be visible in my neck of the woods, it is elsewhere (click HERE to check your location). To suss out what this means, I once again scoured the interwebz for people more well-versed in astrology than me. First,... Continue Reading →
Tomorrow, along with a new month, we get a new moon! The Dark Virgo Moon, to be exact. There is also a partial (annular) solar eclipse happening, but since Central Africa is a bit of a commute, I doubt I'll be able to catch it in person. If you're in the same boat, and happen... Continue Reading →
Fasten your seat belts! The third of four Mercury Retrograde phases in 2016 begins on August 30th and lasts until September 22nd. It starts and ends in the sign of Virgo, an Earth sign associated with perfectionism and problem solving. What does this mean for you? Since my astrology skills are still rusty, I turned...

Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day 2016! While our cat Sid (short for Obsidian) would argue that this should be every day, today is the official celebration. I wrote about this last year (and scored a featured spot on BlogHer for it!), but since it falls on a Witchy Wednesday this year, I thought I'd give... Continue Reading →
On Thursday, August 18th, the Full Aquarius Moon arrives, and brings with it a kinda sorta, itsy bitsy, tiny almost, little bit of an eclipse. To suss out what this means, I once again scoured the interwebz for people more well-versed in astrology than me. First, a little blurb about the non-event eclipse from Astrology...
