Four Reasons to Keep the Ritual Simple

Last updated on: August 18, 2018 at 9:32 pm By Courtney Weber

A ritual is like cooking: sometimes, you have the resources to make a three course meal. But it's likely that you may only have the time and ability to scramble eggs or grill a cheese sandwich. If every meal had to be a three course meal, you probably wouldn't cook very often. Read more

Last updated on: August 6, 2018 at 8:05 pm By Courtney Weber

We equate desire with sex and food. Yes, desire can mean those things and often does. But what if many desires are simpler? A touch, a breath of fresh air, a moment of quiet, a place to cry? Read more

Magick As We Are…Perfectly Imperfect.

Last updated on: July 2, 2018 at 9:25 am By Courtney Weber

Magick is never perfect. The astrology will never be exactly right. The herbal blend will always be one note off. And that's a good thing. Read more

Tragedy at the border: Helping through the practical and the Magickal

Last updated on: June 19, 2018 at 4:05 pm By Courtney Weber

Like so many, I’ve felt anger, sad, horror, terror, powerlessness over the separation of families at the border. I’ve wanted to smash my computer with a brick. I’ve struggled to concentrate on work. The sounds of weeping babies stays in my ears. I want it to stay. I don’t want to forget. I don’t want to normalize. I’m not alone. I shouldn’t say, “I feel powerless.” I should say, “We feel powerless.” Yet, we are not without power. An Irish friend... Read more

A day–alone–with the Goddess

Last updated on: May 29, 2018 at 4:39 pm By Courtney Weber

“When will you spend a day with Me?” She’d kept asking. Things like work and travel schedules, family obligations, and occasionally having a date with my husband were likely strange to Her immortal ears. She wanted me all to Herself for a day. She must not have known how difficult that was for a modern, over-scheduled person like me. Perhaps She did and didn’t care. I didn’t know how I would do it–offer an entire day to a Goddess–but the opportunity blossomed.... Read more

Last updated on: May 17, 2018 at 9:49 am By Courtney Weber

Oh…”evil.” Back again? Today was weird. Here’s the synopsis (courtesy of a Tweet I wrote this morning). Hahahahahahahahahahha. I’m so clever and awesome. Look at how much I’ve grown over the years! Look at how nicely I handled that! Look at my clever Tweet and all the love that came with it! (Thanks for that, all, by the way….) Yeah. It happened to me today. Again. Yes, I get strange emails offering me salvation if I would take down my... Read more
