My practice changes over time. Every turning of the Wheel, I find that my understanding of my own Path has again transformed, and the shining bits of information I’ve added to my hoard are working their way into my magick. I like to joke that I started off as a Grand High Episcopagan – big…
One of more recognizable suffixes in old Norse terminology is ‘-heim.’ or ‘heimr.’ It indicates, roughly, a ‘land of’ whatever comes before that suffix.

Can you hear it? That super-high-pitched whining sound just above our range of hearing? It’s the collective stress cycles of our friends and family kicking into overdrive. The holidays are here, and we all have to somehow make it to January 2nd without body bags, divorces or involuntary commitment to a room with soft walls…
This has come up a lot since so many of us have Yuletide on the brain. Yes, I offer Gift Certificates. Gift Certificates can be purchased for both A La Carte and Subscription services (short list – tarot readings, pastoral counseling sessions, healing sessions, space clearing, training), or for a specific dollar amount. To purchase…
