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 →
WW – Lammas 2016
Lammas 2016 is almost here! Here's a little blurb about the holiday from The Goddess & The Green Man - At Lammas the Goddess is in Her aspect as Grain Mother, Harvest Mother, Harvest Queen, Earth Mother, Ceres and Demeter. Demeter, as Corn Mother, represents the ripe corn of this year's harvest and Her daughter... Continue Reading →
WW – Enchanting Coffee
Most mornings, I'm lucky my brain works well enough to find the kitchen, let alone managing something like enchanting coffee. However, I found this spell over at Llewellyn website, and it looks easy enough even for me. I plan to make this a daily thing, as part of my resolve to bring more magic into... Continue Reading →
WW – Litha and the Full Moon
On Monday June 20, both Litha and the Full Moon occurring at the same time! Well, technically the full moon happens at 7:02am, and Litha is officially at 6:34pm, but still - pretty awesome. First up, a bit about Litha, from someone who is having a birthday in a couple days! June 20, 2012 Summer... Continue Reading →
Witchy Wednesday – Inspiration Spell
Not too long ago in the Smart Witch Community, there was a request for an Inspiration Spell. I found this one over on the Llewellyn site, and liked it so much, I decided to turn it into a graphic. I get the feeling, as I start to rework my Maeve Sawyer series, I'll be using... Continue Reading →
MM – Safe Place Ritual
When our three kidlets were little, hubby and I started doing a "Safe Place" ritual at bedtime. A friend gave me a similar meditation to help them feel protected from some weird juju that was manifesting at the time. In the early days of doing it, we'd hold their hands, and once they'd imagined their... Continue Reading →
WW – Dark Leo moon
This Friday, August 14th at 10:53am EST brings us the Dark Leo Moon (otherwise known as the New Moon in Leo). Here's a graphic I created for the occasion - feel free to share it. Also, if you're able, try to take advantage of the opportunity to see the Perseid meteor shower during that moonless... Continue Reading →
WW – Protection spell
Another (mostly) #WordlessWednesday post for Witchy Wednesday, this time for a simple protection spell. Bright blessings! Text from the graphic - Protection Spell. Candle and matches. Quartz crystal point. Piece of Jet (Fossilized wood, God, Receptive, Earth and Spirit, absorbs negative energy). Piece of Amber (Fossilized pine resin, Goddess, Projective, Fire and Spirit, gives life... Continue Reading →
WW – Litha aka Summer Solstice
Since the dark moon was last night, I figured I'd do a quick update first on the ritual I posted last week. When I set things up to take a picture for the blog entry, I had this wonderful vision in my brain of heading out into the woods last night, tools in hand, and... Continue Reading →
WW – Kickstarter & Full Moon Good Fortune Spell
Since the graphic posted below is pretty self-explanatory, I want to take a moment to talk about the project I cast this particular spell for. There's a Kickstarter project currently running to create a DVD called, Ever Ancient, Ever New: Witchcraft by the Hearthside, and it looks amazing! Even though Raven and Stephanie Grimassi live...

WW – Protective stones
I spent a huge chunk of today convinced it was Thursday. Hubby worked overtime on Tuesday (his work week usually starts on Wednesday). It was just enough to completely throw me for a loop. But somehow I managed to put together a quick graphic for today, inspired by a post on The Smart Witch Facebook... Continue Reading →
WW – Happy Earth Day
While the original Earth Day was founded by Christian peace activist John McConnell and put into action mostly by students around 1970, it's a natural fit for witchy types like myself. The day kinda snuck up on me, so I didn't have anything planned, but I managed to do a few of things. First, I... Continue Reading →
