The Song of Spring ~ Encountering Omens in Nature

Posted on April 25, 2022April 24, 2022 by GlasseWitch

The return of spring is so joyous here in Western Maryland. It seems like the dawn chorus of birds gets a little louder every day as the warm sunlight convinces more spring flowers to open. With grateful hearts, we welcome back the growing season. We begin dusting off our hiking shoes and gardening gloves; we…

A Divination for Spiritual Growth

Posted on January 31, 2022January 25, 2022 by GlasseWitch

I designed this spread as the result of a query: “What are the next steps along my spiritual path?” I have a few different spreads I could use to answer this question, but none of them felt right for some reason. I browsed around online and didn’t like any of the spreads I saw there,…

The Power of the Playlist

Posted on January 17, 2022January 14, 2022 by GlasseWitch

I will never forget the first time I heard the music from the Pure Moods album in the early 90s. I was a tweeny and my parents brought home a copy of the CD. I clearly remember dancing around the living room while listening to it.  I needed to move my body in order to…

One Word ~ An Intention for 2022

Posted on December 27, 2021December 22, 2021 by GlasseWitch

Many years ago, I was introduced to the idea of selecting a single word for each calendar year to act as an intention, touchstone, and big-picture goal. The beauty of a single word intention is that the simplicity means multiple ways of connecting are possible. For example, my word for 2020 was ‘Manifest.’  An interesting…

Fallow Season ~ Burnout, Fatigue, and Sacred Rest

Posted on December 13, 2021December 10, 2021 by GlasseWitch

Within the world of agriculture, there is a vital part of crop growing known as letting land “lie fallow.”  To fallow a piece of earth is to leave it deliberately unsown – to let it rest. This time of rest allows more fertility to gather in the soil, guaranteeing a better crop later. It is…

Witchcraft is Dead. Long Live Witchcraft!

Posted on October 25, 2021October 20, 2021 by GlasseWitch

“No one writes good music anymore.” “All the best movies have already come out.” “Fiction today just isn’t what it used to be.” I’ve seen the same complaint leveled across multiple interest areas. Over and over again, the refrain of ‘the new stuff is terrible’ rings out. From people who think metal began and ended…

The Autumn Awakening ~ Returning to Center

Posted on September 7, 2021 by GlasseWitch

Sometime during summer, I go a little dormant. The high heat and humidity where I live in the mid-Atlantic weighs heavily on me. I begin to drift, to slip into the doldrums. I tend to slide out of my patterns of practice and choose checking out rather than dialing in. I go through the motions…

Freyja ~ The Power Behind the Pin-Up

Posted on August 30, 2021August 26, 2021 by GlasseWitch

“Freyja says there’s going to be trouble.” I didn’t know the man speaking to me.  I had never met him before – we were in the same workshop at Sacred Space Conference.  He had turned back to look at me several times during the class, and I steeled myself for the inevitable come-on.  However, when…

The Gratitude Project

Posted on August 2, 2021July 28, 2021 by GlasseWitch

When I look at the path of a river, I sometimes marvel at the way it cuts through stone to wend its flow through the landscape around me. I’m lucky enough to live near both the Potomac and Monocacy rivers and I’ve spent a lot of time wandering their shores and paddling kayaks along their…
