My very first foray into the world of witchcraft occurred when I was 12 – I fell in love with a Tarot deck. It always strikes me as interesting that the very first magical art I learned is still the one I use the most, and the one that pays a large percentage of my…

For some reason, that skill set spills over to most other divinatory tools. Pendulums, runes, ogham, oracle cards…I can get good information most of the time from…

Some days, there’s just not enough coffee in the universe to get me going. During most of the year, doldrum days are pretty rare for me. I generally have good forward momentum: I have dreams and visions I’m trying to manifest, sacred Work I’m focused on, and a beloved community to serve. For some…
