The Magic of Rainbows, Planting a Genius Garden, + Revamping Sacred Space
Last night, a wicked line of thunderstorms rolled through my neighborhood. The dark clouds roiled and undulated until they unleashed a torrent of rain on the world below, and while heavy drops were still falling, the sun shone brightly in the west. “We're going to have a rainbow,” I said to my husband. Five minutes … Continue reading The Magic of Rainbows, Planting a Genius Garden, + Revamping Sacred Space
Am I Even a Witch Anymore?
When I began practicing witchcraft eight years ago, I was in a really dark place. I'd ceded nearly all of my power and agency to others, and I was willing to do anything I could to reclaim it. For reasons I still can't explain, I cast a spell, and the experience was one of the … Continue reading Am I Even a Witch Anymore?
How Being Sick Teaches Me What’s Truly Important
It started on Friday with a tickle in my throat. “It's just allergies,” I rationalized, shrugging it off. I went about making my spring break plans and did the best I could to ignore the creeping feeling that I was coming down with something. Next came the stuffy nose. Then the crushing fatigue. By Saturday night, … Continue reading How Being Sick Teaches Me What’s Truly Important
Lessons from the Dark Goddess
My journey with the dark goddess began in the early days of my dabbling in witchcraft. As a former English major, I was deeply drawn to the landscape of characters and archetypes, and I knew I'd have much to learn through working with them on the astral plane. Accessing the astral was never very difficult … Continue reading Lessons from the Dark Goddess

Spell to Banish Frustration + Anxiety
I woke up this morning at 4:37 AM, and I was up for the day. This actually happens a lot. At some point during the pandemic, I challenged myself to be an uber-early riser so I could get work done before my daughter logged on to online school. Even though she's back in the building, … Continue reading Spell to Banish Frustration + Anxiety
Social Media Witchcraft: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly w/ Owlvine Green
This is probably the most important interview I've ever done, Beauty. What my guest and I have to say here is honest, vulnerable, and reflective of a larger conversation that's taking place. I guess there's no polished, filtered, way to say it: those who use social media are more depressed, scattered, and insecure than those … Continue reading Social Media Witchcraft: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly w/ Owlvine Green
Soulflower Plant Spirit Oracle by Lisa Estabrook
I've done neither an oracle nor a tarot deck review in two years, mainly because I'd gotten to the point where I had too many decks I didn't use and I felt I needed to slow my roll when it came to collecting (if you're a collector of tarot or oracle decks, you know how … Continue reading Soulflower Plant Spirit Oracle by Lisa Estabrook
Weird, Magical Things Are Happening to Me
This morning has been a crazy morning, Beauties, because magical miracles keep happening to me that I simply can't explain: things I need are appearing out of nowhere, posts are randomly publishing themselves, and empty things are filling themselves up again. It's like I'm a basic witch St. Brigid--whereas she spontaneously conjured milk and cheese, … Continue reading Weird, Magical Things Are Happening to Me
