Tis the Season – of the Witch!

Last updated on: July 18, 2023 at 11:47 pm By Esa

From about August through October there is always an influx of interest in witchcraft, the occult, and the world of Spirits. There are many reasons – the shifting seasons, many of the plants and trees moving into a state of slumber, more dark than light hours, and of course Halloween, to name just a few. With the influx of interest also comes the ghouls… No, I am not talking about the ones stalking around in the dark, but the ones... Read more

9 Days with The Goddess Hel – a Chant and a Prayer

Last updated on: July 17, 2023 at 12:54 pm By Esa

So a lot happened along this 9 day devotional with the Goddess Hel. Some is private, some is for those who will be in the upcoming Seidr/ Death Doula Course, but some I can share… Meditation through Chanted Prayer I come across people all the time that have difficulty or just flat out can not meditate in the way meditation is generally presented. They can not quite their mind, concentrating solely on the present without getting distracted. Guided meditation may... Read more

Become Death’s Emissary – Seidr and Death Doula Course

Last updated on: July 14, 2023 at 12:36 pm By Esa

This course has been a long time in the making. It combines decades of work, both from my professional and spiritual life. “To Guide others through Death, we must first Know Her and Walk with Her.” Welcome to the realm of spirit and the Well of Souls. Something has drawn you here, whether it be curiosity, a lust for knowledge, a desire for connection, or perhaps even a grief that still holds you. No matter the reason, the journey... Read more

I had One Plan – She had Another

I love the Seasons of the Witch Oracle Decks. The art, the poems, but mostly how I use them. Each decks correlates with a specific season of time, so my plan was to use them as focus cards. Daily energies to focus on, be aware of, and so forth that was aligned with the season of time I was in. It hasn’t quite gone as planned though… The Samhain Deck The Samhain deck was the first one they put out,... Read more

A Guide for Building Your Own Foundations

Last updated on: July 11, 2023 at 6:01 pm By Esa

I wrote Goddess, Sacred Words of Transformation for two reasons. First, as a Devotional. Contained within, are all the words, lessons, and messages my Guides gave me. What I had to go through in order to build real foundations for my life, my spirituality, and my magical practices. It is primarily The Morrigan but there are a couple of pieces that came from Hel and Kari. All the work I did though was with The Morrigan, for She is who... Read more

Metal Never Lies: An Introduction to Metal Magic – Book Review

Last updated on: July 10, 2023 at 6:50 pm By Esa

I met Sam, the Author of Metal Never Lies: An Introduction to Metal Magic, a couple of years ago at The Morrigan’s Call Retreat. I had the opportunity to sit and talk with him about the roles of Metal in Magic. Learning about his perspectives, experiences, and processes. I was completely intrigued. I had never heard someone talk about metal the way he does, or the processes he uses to infuse deep magic into it. Recently I was able to... Read more

I am a Death Witch and Walk with Death. A Seidkona of Kari, a Tower of Hel, a Seneschal of The Morrigan. Day 4 in Hel’s Devotional On the first day of this 9 day devotion, Hel called me “Her Tower”. My immediate reaction was like – “Are you kidding me?? Haven’t I been through enough this year??” I took it to a place of what was coming – not a job She was giving me…. My Bad. As you... Read more

Our triplets (one boy, two girls) are 13 years old now. You can imagine the craziness this presents with the hormones flying, them trying to figure out who they are, topped off with all the normal teenage stuff. As you can guess, it can get wild at times because it isn’t just one – it’s three who are all at the same stage at once. Some days can bleak. Not that they aren’t great kids, but they are also siblings... Read more

Not All Dark Goddesses are the Same

Last updated on: July 7, 2023 at 12:37 pm By Esa

0 Comments

In my experience, not all Dark Goddesses are the same. They may have some overlap and similar domains, but Their particular work in that domain can be very different. Another interesting similarity to all of them is an association to fire and light in the sense of illuminating or uncovering. A little hint at the duality within. I have worked with three particular Goddesses that are considered Dark Goddesses – The Morrigan, Hel, and Hecate. Each experience with Them was... Read more

My Sacred Space and a 9 Day Mantra

I thought this would be a good time to share what my indoor Sacred Space looks like, a few special pieces within that, and a 9 day working that I begin today with the Goddess Hel. My Sacred Space My primary indoor space is a small mud room in the basement. The room has a sliding glass door that takes up much of one wall. It allows for a ton of natural light and a view of our valley, so... Read more
