The Balancing Path: Magic is Will vs Will

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

Last updated on: April 8, 2020 at 6:40 pm By Martha Kirby Capo

I’m in the process of reclaiming my Solitary Practice, spooling it out from my altar and threading it through my days, weaving a net of magic that is tensile, strong, and ever-present.

The Balancing Path: Not All Meditations Are Created Equal

Last updated on: January 4, 2022 at 8:43 am By Sidney Eileen

I have frequently seen people state that they hate meditation and it doesn’t work for them, and then proudly declare that they are proficient in some sort of shielding, grounding, centering practice.

Hadrian’s Garden: Apollo & the Plague

Last updated on: April 6, 2020 at 8:00 pm By Adrian Marcus

The Balancing Path: Moon Water with No Moonlight

Last updated on: January 4, 2022 at 8:43 am By Sidney Eileen

It is easiest to make moon water by bathing it in moonlight at night, but that's not always possible. The energies of the moon are pervasive, if more subtle in the shadows. Moon shadow energy reminds us that even when we can't see the light, can't see a way forward, such things still exist and affect us. Read more

The Corner Crone: I’m Not OK (and You May Not Be Either)

Last updated on: March 31, 2020 at 11:40 pm By Martha Kirby Capo

It’s OK not to be OK. Most of all, it’s OK to sit a little while in that feeling of not being OK, to not be in too much of a hurry to sweep your depression under the rug. To acknowledge those feelings, honor them, and then figure out how they fit into the overall landscape of your well-being. Read more
