Spiritual Practice In The Time of Corona

Last updated on: May 17, 2020 at 10:27 am By Lisa Wagoner

A pandemic seems and feels like a roller coaster. You go up, reach the top, survey all around you, think everything's okay, take a deep breath, and then down you go, screaming all the way. One week doesn't look like the next, or it does, until you scream from the monotony. I observe people all around me, going through various stages of grief, because that's what it's like, grieving what was, and not knowing what will be. Or thinking you have a handle on what will be, and then things change. A spiritual practice during this time can help ground you, and provide a guidepost for your day. Read more

Anxiety Tips from an Anxious Witch

Last updated on: May 8, 2020 at 1:12 pm By Lisa Wagoner

Although I may be known as a Positive Pagan, I myself have my moments of dealing with anxiety as our worlds shift daily with new information. It can get dark pretty quickly, as anxiety and past trauma seek to overwhelm me as I try to move forward. The darkness can threaten to engulf me, but the life raft of witch tools stays within reach, and I use them to make it to to the shore of calm. As states phase re-openings after a long period of quarantine, the thought of what's ahead can fill me with anxiety. Read more

Last updated on: April 25, 2020 at 12:48 pm By Lisa Wagoner

Celebrating Beltane solo this year? The thought may make you a bit sad, but I am here to point out the advantages of celebrating Beltane as a solo practitioner. I've celebrated Beltane in crowds, and sometimes alone, and each time had its own unique joy. No matter the reason, there are many ways to celebrate Beltane that don't involve other people.

Finding Community In The Time of Coronavirus

Last updated on: April 7, 2020 at 5:55 pm By Lisa Wagoner

We are told to stay home and isolate during this time of the Coronavirus. Social and physical distancing are part of our days, and depending on how you feel about people, this is either a painful or pleasantly solitary time. One thing is for sure: we appreciate those people who are in our lives, and we notice what is missing, as far as our community, our tribe, and circle. Read more

Last updated on: March 24, 2020 at 1:24 pm By Lisa Wagoner

As the days of the present pandemic gather in number, I have been observing my witch friends and how they deal with a crisis. They always have my admiration, and I often look to them to inspire me.
