A Witch Honors Dolly Parton among the Mighty Dead

What makes Dolly an important interfaith exemplar is that she did not require everyone else to drink from the same well before she offered them water. Her public theology returned, again and again, to love, nonjudgment, human dignity, and the right of other people to be themselves. Read more

Auspicious Timing: Planets, Days & Signs for Magick

When is the best time to cast a spell? Many witches align their work with planetary days, lunar phases, zodiac signs, and other natural rhythms. Understanding these cycles can help magickal intentions flow with the tides of the cosmos rather than against them. Read more

Last updated on: March 17, 2026 at 12:36 pm By Heron Michelle

Loose herbal incense is one of the oldest tools in magickal practice. By blending herbs, resins, and bark with intention—and sometimes under auspicious planetary timing—witches create fragrances that shape the atmosphere of ritual and meditation. Here is how elemental incense blends work and how you can craft or work with them in your own practice. Read more

The Triple Goddess as a Hermetic Key to the Mysteries

Last updated on: February 12, 2026 at 2:13 pm By Heron Michelle

0 Comments

The Triple Goddess has never been as tidy as we pretend. Maiden, Mother, Crone may look like a clean three-act structure, but lived experience is far messier — and far more interesting. What if the ancient rhythm beneath her masks is not a rigid life-stage model, but a living cycle of Generation, Organization, and Dissolution? In this essay, I revisit the archetype, the debates around it, and the deeper current of magickal becoming that runs beneath the surface. Read more

Elemental Witchcraft on The Occult Rejects Podcast

Last updated on: February 1, 2026 at 6:12 pm By Heron Michelle

0 Comments

Western occultism has spent much of the last two centuries refining systems of analysis, hierarchy, and individual power. In my recent appearance on The Occult Rejects podcast, I explore why Elemental Witchcraft was written as a response to the next turn of that cycle — a movement away from separation and toward integration, cooperation, and relational magick. Drawing on Hermetic symbolism and the classical elements as modes of consciousness, this conversation looks at how witchcraft and ceremonial magic can function as complementary paths within a living, evolving occult tradition.
