Ancestor Altars: Working With Your Relatives

Last updated on: October 8, 2019 at 1:53 am By Lisa Wagoner

It's the time of the year where we hear the words "ancestor altar" much more often in conversation. The veil is said to be at its thinnest, and those who commune with those not in this realm stay busy with messages, while the rest of us wonder about our deceased relatives, and what to do, if anything. Create an ancestor altar, and really work with your ancestors, or focus on a relative. Work with them to provide what you need in the spaces you cleared in time for Samhain. Read more

Busy Samhain: Savor the Season

Last updated on: October 2, 2019 at 8:18 am By Lisa Wagoner

Do you wake up on October 1st with a sense of delight, with a layer of trepidation? Is the month exciting, as well as overwhelming? Too much to do, no time to do it all, fear of missing out, with a rapidly-filling calendar? Fear not, witches. We can do this. Read more

On the Way to Samhain

Last updated on: September 30, 2019 at 8:25 pm By Lisa Wagoner

The Autumn Equinox is akin to teetering on a precipice. We do a balancing act of clinging to the last bits of summer, while eagerly embracing all that Samhain brings. It's an exciting time to be sure, but underneath runs a current. If you are very quiet and still, you can hear it. That current, that hum, that leads us on the way to Samhain. It's not just decorations and witches' balls (although that is fun as well) it's also the deepening, the going within, the preparation of what's to come. Read more

Mabon Reset Ritual

Last updated on: September 19, 2019 at 10:08 am By Lisa Wagoner

Mabon is beckoning as a time of balance, which always strikes me as highly ironic, as this begins during the most unbalanced time of all. School routines are in place, the weekends are full of activity, there are endless chores to do, the holidays are looming, and we begin the descent into the last part of the year. This Mabon Reset Ritual will help reset your intentions and guide you through this upcoming season. Read more

Self Love September: Simple Works

Last updated on: September 10, 2019 at 9:05 am By Lisa Wagoner

"Self Love" September can make you roll your eyes, freeze up in shock (how is it September already?!), or pause for a moment. Self Love is a bit more than bubble baths and spa days, especially if you align your life with the Wheel of the Year. It is turning onward to the busiest time of year (Samhain, Samhain, Samhain!) The sense of excitement is in the air, along with a bit of wistfulness. More things to do can seem overwhelming, but here are a few quick ideas to get you focused on your lovely self. Read more

Witchy Road Trip, Part Two

Last updated on: September 1, 2019 at 4:49 pm By Lisa Wagoner

You know that wonderful feeling of being among your "people" or your "tribe"? The people you connect with on so many levels, where you can be yourself, and you feel centered, grounded, and completely comfortable in your own skin. Or that feeling of excitement when you visit magical places? I felt that during my recent adventures in Cleveland, Ohio. This is a travelogue of my magical experiences there. Read more

On A Witchy Road Trip

Last updated on: August 28, 2019 at 8:46 am By Lisa Wagoner

There's nothing quite like an impromptu witchy road trip. When days go by, and adventure seems far away, it is quite the gift to be offered a chance to go away and experience the world. Ever have that happen? When everything aligns, the journey proceeds smoothly, and time seems to expand like a magic rubber band, so that you fit in so many things that a regular twenty-four hour period seems to contain multitudes?

When Darkness Falls: Use Your Skills

Last updated on: August 4, 2019 at 7:26 pm By Lisa Wagoner

The world is horrific nowadays. Not a day goes by without climate despair, shootings, governmental idiocy, and more. It's enough to make you want to stay home and hide. Yet, yet, yet...despair and non-action don't do anything. Mourn, hide, and have a wallowing kind of day here and there, but overall, I say to you: Resist. Read more
