Spirit Update: 09.16.19 You don’t want to deny what happened, You don’t want to pretend it didn’t hurt, Or was OK in any way whatsoever by assuming any of the blame, Or by-pass it by saying ‘I’ve let it go’ when really it’s...

Why That Insane Sex You’ve Been Having may not be the Best Thing for Your Relationship.

Who would argue with hot, consuming sex 25 years into a relationship? Why would all that connection and raw passion be something that would someday give you pause and have you question everything? That’s what I asked myself a while ago, when my partner and I went...

In case you missed the memo, August has been emotionally intense and there’s more to come! To recap this month: Mercury was stationed direct on August 1st, with a shadow of its retrograde just ending, and I don’t know about you, but I’m still fending off all kinds of...

Opposing the Sun in Libra, September's Full Moon i Opposing the Sun in Libra, September's Full Moon in Aries is a blance of honoring personal needs with the commitments we have within relationships. By commitment I mean what we willingly wish to offer to the relationship, as well as considering the needs of our partner or family, or friend. 

It goes without saying that all things being equal in a relationship, things are not always equal, haha! There is a give and take tension that at times feels unfair. I think that we all know that feeling, but being present to oneself, taking space, asking for what we need is key, while considering another. And there are times when we cannot consider another. That's where honest conversation becomes the alchemist.

Recently, after a cuffufle between my partner and I, we arrived at a conversation that has resulted in a SEISMIC shift in our lives. The argument revealed our needs with great clarity. This occurred after the latest eclipse. And now, at Full Moon, we are experiencing this shift glad that we had the courage to face our angry words.

(No, not getting a divorce) 🖤

Merry Moon, Witches! What is rising with the Full Moon for you?

Sending love. 🌕

Re-reading The Alchemist's Daughter for the fourth Re-reading The Alchemist's Daughter for the fourth time, excellent writing, inspiring much thought. This quote is exercising my brain around Autumn Equinox and the purpose of death and decay. 

Merry Equinox Witches!
The last eclipse opened up something powerful for The last eclipse opened up something powerful for many of my readers, clients and friends. For some, seismic shifts. For others, a gentler path towards the next portal... Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.

I like to celebrate all convergences on the Wheel of the Year as mini seasons, to open to it for one day seems too fleeting.

Our cells respond to gradual shifts in the Sun's journey across the sky until we come to the height of it, and then the descent.

And descend we will. Onwards now to the darkest of days. There is a thrill to this season that massages all our dreams, wounds and introspections.  This simple ritual and incantation open the door to whatever may be.

Blessings!

On the old pastoral calendar, Autumn Equinox is mid-autumn.
Days shorten. Shadows lengthen.
The Spirits stir.

Spring Equinox,  Southern Hemisphere
Why does this season feel so energetically charged Why does this season feel so energetically charged? Exhilarating, somewhat tinged with danger, pulling us deep into the psyche of the Underworld – the Dark Moon Season of the Year is a catalyst for rebirth. We descend, descend, descend! With Hekate, with Persephone, with ancestors, the Dark Mother, with all our soul’s longing to taste what matters and discarding the detritus.

This three-month journey may be the most impactful of the whole wheel of the year. I like to create small rituals for slow living during the Dark Moon Season.

1.  Slowing down activity – less multi-tasking, more presence to each activity.

2.  Cultivating slowness through singing, reading, writing, working crafts, naps.

3.  Taking time for prayer, co-creating dreams with the Universe, freeing the imagination

4.  Slow meals, conscious eating, slow chewing, blessing food, conversation at the table

5.  Presence to thoughts, noticing the slowness, deep listening to messages from the Underworld.

6.  Relishing, long, quiet evenings

Here we go Witches!
One of the most frequently asked questions from my One of the most frequently asked questions from my writing clients is… am I doing it wrong? Every person who has asked me that has been doing it right. The reason is that they are following their intuition on how they function as writers. Sure, there are tips I can offer on how to stay on pace if they have a deadline, or we can dig around to truly know their process according to their personality, habits, lifestyle. We can explore their fears about writing – but there is no one formula that will work for everyone.
I’ve had writers who can only write between 6 and 9 in the evening, all other hours are dead flat in inspiration. I’ve had writers who power-speed through their manuscripts, barely taking a breath. Some can only write between 3 and 6 a.m., and almost none of them could make anything happen within a strict schedule or formula.

"Sit down every day and write something, anything", has worked for no-one in my sphere. Maybe it’s the type of client I attract, but I know that each of them had to flow with one thing… being open to the muse. When they show up, you show up. Wherever that muse is arriving from (mine is from the Pleaides), they don’t care about your schedule or time zone, they’re going to wake you up from a dead sleep and expect you to be pen in hand.

If you work with me on your book, I’ll be asking you to be you, not Hemingway. We’re going to break rules. And we’re going to have fun.
