Echoes of Imbolc – Recentering with the Dark Moon

Posted on February 4, 2019February 4, 2019 by GlasseWitch

I felt it for the first time Saturday.  I don’t know if it was the bright sunlight on the snow, or the way the light was angling through the window of the car, or just the awareness that I was headed to an Imbolc Ritual that night.  But the knowing came through, like the softest…

A New Year’s Releasing Ritual for Solitaries

Posted on December 31, 2018December 28, 2018 by GlasseWitch

I have a lot of reservations around New Year’s Resolutions.  I do completely honor and understand the desire to draw a line between one year and the next – the desire to start with a clean slate.  I love it when people take charge of their lives and implement needed change.  My objection has more…

Breathing in Between – Thanksgiving thoughts

Posted on November 22, 2018November 22, 2018 by GlasseWitch

I spent this morning making All The Desserts for my family’s Thanksgiving get-together later today.  As I was cooking, I was thinking about you.  About the different ways we’ll all spend today, the different challenges we’ll face.  The way that a holiday can change its shape and impact so dramatically from year to year and…

Made the local paper again ~ article on modern Paganism

Posted on October 28, 2018October 30, 2018 by GlasseWitch

You know, it really is lovely when a journalist elects not to go the sensationalist route when writing an article about modern day Paganism.  As an ‘out,’ public Pagan, I’ve had the anxiety-laden role of being a ‘token witch’ for someone’s piece several times.  I think Wyatt Massey did a really great job here in…
