Pan-Celtic Hoofbeats: The Birds of Rhiannon

Last updated on: November 8, 2019 at 1:48 pm By Kris Hughes

I’ve been puzzled by some personal gnosis to do with Rhiannon for ages, because it doesn’t quite fit what I was thinking of as Her story. The Birds of Rhiannon are mentioned in the Second Branch of the Mabinogi, but what do the birds have to do with Rhiannon? Read more

Between Two Worlds: Hekate and My Shadow Self

Last updated on: November 1, 2019 at 2:05 pm By Brianne Raven Wolf

For most of my life I had no idea that my shadow self was really in control of my life. I had to overcome a lot of my shadow self before I knew what it was. I kept telling myself that I was good enough. I could achieve what I wanted by working hard. I became an over-achiever. It still wasn't enough. Read more

Druid in the City: Worrying About the Wrong Things

Last updated on: October 31, 2019 at 5:24 pm By Victoria S.

I challenge you, in this season of introspection, to look at how and where you are spending your attention. Does it bring value to you? Does it help you survive or thrive? Or does it just waste time without adding any value? Your attention is precious. Be intentional where you spend it. Read more

Simple Witchery: Favored or Forsaken – When Tragedy Strikes

Last updated on: October 30, 2019 at 12:29 am By Willow Rose

In the dark cave of my grief, I still wanted to know why me, why am I shadowed by so much death when others go unscathed, when they can confidently declare Spirit or their deity or a supreme Spirit saved their loved one? And below my sorrow anger brewed—why am I forsaken? What have I done to deserve this? Read more

The Balancing Path: Mourning & Commemorating Transitions at Samhain

Last updated on: January 4, 2022 at 9:03 am By Sidney Eileen

We don’t get to choose to what we mourn. We can’t help the fact that we mourn not only other people, but animals, objects, places, relationships, activities, our previous selves, and anything else we place personal value upon. When we value something, anything, and it leaves our lives, it is natural to mourn it. Read more

Starry Eyed Witch: The Banshee Screams for You

Last updated on: October 26, 2019 at 1:34 pm By Joey Morris

If the surviving Morrigan mythology tells us anything it is of the ferocity of warfare, a determination towards victory and the body-morphing ability of battle-frenzied blood thirst. Such themes make many uncomfortable; but then if your aim was the sanctuary of your comfort zone you crowed at the wrong Goddess. Read more
