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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
Happy Beltane! This Sunday, the magical bookend to Samhain arrives, amidst the chilly New England version of Spring. As I said last year (in much the same words), there are a bazillion sites out on the interwebz with information on the holiday, so I'm going to keep things simple. Once again, I decided to put...

Spring is springing! Of course, this coming weekend has a different "S" word in the weather predictions, thanks to an approaching Nor'easter, so much like my ritual last year, my Ostara 2016 celebration will be a simplified (and probably indoor) affair. In brief - I'll spend some time (hopefully before the weekend, but knowing me,... Continue Reading →
Interestingly, this Witchy Wednesday post about Imbolc, which is the first Sabbat in the Wheel of the Year, is also the last one I've created a graphic for. Last year, I wrote a couple of posts about it (here and here), but I hadn't started putting together my Pinterest Pictures (as I sometimes call them)... Continue Reading →
I had such high hopes for Yule this year. Even though I'm still recovering from surgery, I thought I'd be far enough along at this point to plan a family meal, set up a simple ritual, and sit back to enjoy celebrating the return of the sun. However, my body had other plans - no... Continue Reading →
It's almost here! Samhain, the most magical and witchy day of the Wheel of the Year arrives on October 31st. Yes, the same day as Halloween (which I'll talk about for this Friday's Fandom post), but for witches and many pagans, this is the end of the old year, and the beginning of the new.... Continue Reading →
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 →
