My childhood occurred before the Industrial Food Supply and Big Pharma took over the world, so the concept of eating Seasonally was not a completely new concept to me when Michael Pollan came out with the book The Omnivores Dilemmaand then a bit later the little handbook Food Rules. I had, by then, become a Witch, so I …
Today is Flag Day! Today I will place a commemorative flag on my father’s grave. I don’t place that flag on Memorial Day because he was a veteran, but did not die in combat. Flag Day was an idea that was started by teachers. The country already honored Independence Day, but in 1885. BJ Cigrand, a schoolteacher Wisconsin, arranged for …

I believe in Fairies! When I was a little girl my father showed his two princesses, my sister and me, where the fairies danced in the yard. I have never doubted their existence since then. I came to know that fairies are NOT always the gentle little Tinkerbell creatures that we were sold by Disney, …
Sojourns lead to so many revelations, and my most recent took me back in time so I could remember some foundation stones of being a Witch. There are two basic oaths that the beginning Witchling makes: they cannot lie; they cannot bargain for magickal items. Those two oaths are taken along with the First Degree, …
“The Full Moon belongs to everyone, but no one celebrates it like us Witches.” Here is a list of various names for the Full Moon by month. It is not comprehensive, but it’s pretty complete. The Lunar month is roughly 29.5 days in length on average, so the dates of the Full Moon shift from …
