Last updated on: January 4, 2022 at 8:40 am   By Sidney Eileen

This is a sigil to help support efforts at managing prolonged stress and anxiety. I created it specifically to help cope with the stresses of the COVID-19 quarantine situation, but it is potentially applicable to any time when you are experiencing prolonged stress and anxiety due to external situations. Read more

The Corner Crone: Happy Beltane! Light a Fire! Have an Oatcake!

Last updated on: April 28, 2020 at 5:08 pm   By Martha Kirby Capo

Whether you’ll be celebrating Beltane as a Solitary, with your family, or with your QuaranTeam, chances are whatever those celebratory activities were that you’ve participated in pre-COVID19 are going to look and feel a little different this year. But two aspects can remain the same: fire and food. Read more

The Balancing Path: Book Review – Outside the Charmed Circle

Last updated on: January 4, 2022 at 8:40 am   By Sidney Eileen

Outside the Charmed Circle speaks to the human experience, in all its diversity. It is an exploration of that diversity, and how that diversity is reflected in you and your truest self and your truest practice, whether you yourself are queer, genderqueer, cis gendered, or heterosexual. Read more

The DruWitch Way: Gnomes, Sylphs, Salamanders & Undines – Oh My!

Last updated on: April 23, 2020 at 2:01 pm   By Tara Sanchez

Nowhere are Elementals called “growers & harvesters”, “air or water purifiers” or “sparks of global change” nor do they create those elements just because they live in them and are of them. Does that mean we shouldn’t consider them like that? My jury is still out on this one. Read more

The Balancing Path: Meeting Aradia

Last updated on: January 4, 2022 at 8:42 am   By Sidney Eileen

An older looking woman looked up from stirring the cauldron to give me a warm and welcoming smile, while she cheerfully informed me that it was about time I came by for a visit.  There wasn’t any real rush, and she understood why it had taken so long for me to come visit, but she had something she needed to give me. Read more

Irish-American Witchcraft: A Simple Bealtaine

Last updated on: April 21, 2020 at 2:55 pm   By Morgan Daimler

It's easy to fall into a mindset that says if we don't celebrate holidays with full ritual and pomp we aren't "doing it right" but I don't believe that's true. Even small simple actions can be spiritually profound and even a small effort can make us feel like we are engaged and participating. Read more

Hadrian’s Garden: How Can I Believe in Monsters and Gods?

Last updated on: April 19, 2020 at 6:38 pm   By Adrian Marcus

In popular culture, the term Pagan brings up images of monsters, magic, and temples to ancient gods—the stuff of fantasy novels or the alien beliefs of a bygone age. How could a reasonable person in today’s age of science and secularism believe in such things? Read more

Starry Eyed Witch: Embodying The Morrigan – the Lady at the Ford

Last updated on: April 16, 2020 at 3:15 pm   By Joey Morris

I stole away to the sanctuary of a well-worn cave, where shadows dwell with fungi, and the spiritual ecosystem unfurls across the floor in its bioluminescence. "I came, as You requested," I speak in low pitched growls. "You called, I came," She corrects me, battle-scarred and beauteous. Read more

Phoenix Rising: Stillness In The Dark, Vibrant In The Light . . .

Last updated on: April 14, 2020 at 9:13 pm   By Robin Corak

How many of us truly listen to ourselves? For some odd reason, it was as if the darkness prompted by the pandemic and its impacts was giving me a unique permission to go within, to be still, and to align myself with what I was feeling and what my body needed. Read more
