The Aging Witch

Last updated on: April 19, 2017 at 10:07 am By Phoenix LeFae

For a long time I blamed my fears on a lack of experience. I just didn’t have enough experience and someday, after years and years, I wouldn’t feel like that anymore. As the years went by I started to blame my feelings on age. I started to think that someday when I was older, I would finally feel confident, and without doubts on what I had to offer. Read more

I’m Kinda Over Beltane

Last updated on: April 23, 2017 at 6:43 am By Phoenix LeFae

This is not the Beltane for flower wreaths and kissing under the winding ribbons of the maypole. This is not the Beltane for waking up at dawn and dancing with the sunrise. This is the Beltane to step up, speak up, and band together. Read more

Elements Of Magic – Becoming Fire, Magic, Heat

Last updated on: March 26, 2017 at 4:29 pm By The Witches Next Door

Fire. Just saying the word gets me all tingly and I feel my temperature rising. I’m instantly transported to rituals around a fire. Rituals with witches and gatherings with friends. Fires inspire dancing and drumming, sitting and talkin, sweating and staying warm. Staying connected to the Element of fire, in all it’s forms, is one of the core pieces of magic I teach in the Reclaiming Tradition. I revisit this work every so often as a teacher and as a student. In... Read more

Last updated on: March 23, 2017 at 12:33 pm By Gwion Raven

I am breath. I am chaotic. I am whispers on the wind. My thoughts can take flight. I give my voice to these thoughts and in speaking them aloud, imbue them with meaning and substance. Read more

Spring Equinox – Making Runic Eggs

Last updated on: March 15, 2017 at 7:11 am By Phoenix LeFae

One of my favorite, fun activities for the Spring Equinox is making Runic Eggs. This isn’t an official, traditional Nordic ancient holiday tradition, described in endless detail in the Lore. You won’t find this in any books about ancient Germanic peoples and their pagan practices. This is totally modern. It’s a bit of fun. Our family and local community has done this for years and years. And it can be pretty powerful too. Whether it’s because Spring Equinox (or Ostara)... Read more
