Your Existence is the Resistance – Reclaiming Power

Last updated on: February 6, 2025 at 11:17 am By Esa

0 Comments

“Your Existence is the Resistance.” During our Witchy Wed chat this week, as we discussed some current events, the above message from my Deities kept creeping in. One of those messages that have taken deep root within me. Not everyone is going to be on the visible front lines of a battle, yet we are all part of it. Yet, in our current climate it feels if you are not publicly “fighting” than you are hiding your head in the... Read more

The Green Witch and The Death Witch: Merged Paths

Last updated on: January 31, 2025 at 3:03 pm By Esa

As I get more clarity on the current work from my Guides (Deities, Elements, Guardians, Ancestors) I am realizing this isn’t about adding – it is about merging the two paths into one movement. I know you won’t get this yet, but let me tell the story to explain… The Beginning I was young when I started my own exploration of spirituality and witchcraft. In my teens I explored everything I could get my hands on and talking with who... Read more

Where the Gods Dwell: Imbolc & the Fire Within

Last updated on: January 30, 2025 at 12:02 pm By Esa

I have seen the 1st cross-quarter day, or Imbolc in the Celtic Wheel, talked about in a couple of ways. The first being the light, whether returning or the spark of the creative fire within us. Light, particularly fire, external and internal, being the main theme. The second is the first sparks of Spring. In my climate and landscape this is a harder one to connect to, and one reason why I never followed the Celtic Wheel. Here winter is... Read more

Deepen Your Practice: How to Map Your Year

Last updated on: January 16, 2025 at 12:14 pm By Esa

0 Comments

In previous years I used to offer a yearly Outlook Reading which gave people an overall path for the year to come and specific month by month readings to help them go deeper. Last year I shared how to do this kind of reading in my article How to do a 2024 Outllook Reading. I loved doing them and throughout the year I would get emails from people who purchased them telling me how spot on and useful they were... Read more

The True Cost of Your Energy: The Realignment

Last updated on: December 29, 2024 at 1:00 pm By Esa

Winter is a good time to take stock, do some reflecting, and prepare ourselves for the flurry of activity that comes in the warmer months. One of those reflection points I have been considering for myself the last couple of months is: Where am I putting my energy?

Gather for the Feast! Nourishing, Body & Soul

Last updated on: December 22, 2024 at 11:17 am By Esa

In the US, from the beginning of November through December, seems to be a never ending feast. Not one long one, but a series of them at various times. Celebrating the harvest time, Turkey day, and all the various holidays/ family/friend gatherings that take place during these months. As I sat with my Ancestors last night on Winter Solstice, I started thinking deeper about the idea of “feasting” in our modern age. Perfection is a Myth I see people stressing... Read more

3 Candles of Bringing to Light Spell

Last updated on: December 16, 2024 at 12:11 pm By Esa

0 Comments

There are many variations of this kind of spell, this is just mine – It starts with a Bring to Light, then a banishing/ clearing, and ends with a bringing in resources. This is a great kind of spell for anyone who is ending a journey and preparing for their next, for New Years or Winter Solstice, or during the Phoenix Moon. You will need 3 glass pillar candles (you can get these at a dollar tree), a permanent marker,... Read more

New Phoenix Moon Cycle Workbook!

In my studies of Nature’s Time – the cycles, energies, and flow of nature – I noticed a very distinct macro cycle of the Moon called the Phoenix Moon. It is a cumulative cycle of 3 years, or 36 Moons and one Phoenix Moon which represents the ending and a new beginning. I have been working in this cycle, starting on an unconscious level, to a purposeful one for a long time. This year marked the 3rd year of this... Read more

Walking With The Morrigan: Unlock Your Power Through Shadow

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 8:54 am By Esa

Shadow work is so much more than just healing wounds, it is a journey of self discovery and empowerment. I have had a difference of opinion when it comes to shadow work as I often see it presented in the mainstream. The focus is usually on wounds being carried, opening them up, and then healing them. Yes, this is part of the process but from my perspective it is a much smaller portion of the whole process and reason to... Read more
