As we bid a cranky farewell to 2020, and say "screw you" to the Age of Pisces...

Christian Child Reads the Bible, Chooses Witchcraft Instead

Last updated on: October 21, 2020 at 4:44 pm By Heron Michelle

So-called "Christian" zealots regularly mail propaganda to my witchcraft shop. I'm a lost cause, folks. Jesus and I made our peace a long time ago, but I don't think what evangelicals are doing has anything to do with Jesus. I read the bible, and chose Witchcraft instead. Read more

Blue Wave Water Magick for Samhain

Last updated on: October 16, 2020 at 2:34 pm By Heron Michelle

Skidding into Samhain sideways, but alive, sober and still on-line, is triumph enough! However, we still have an election on November 3rd to harvest. That societal reaping needs to be HUGE. We can't just "get by" with this magick! Lives are literally on the line. For a "Blue Wave" of Democratic victories, I call upon the elemental mysteries of Water. Read more

Last updated on: October 7, 2020 at 3:59 pm By Heron Michelle

Star Trek Witchcraft and My Prime Directive

Last updated on: October 21, 2020 at 1:49 pm By Heron Michelle

I’ve been a huge Star Trek fan since my childhood. On Sundays my mother dragged us kids to hell-fire and brimstone church services, which terrified me. But on Friday nights my Papa and I communed in the holy temple of Gene Roddenberry, which inspired me. Thanks to him, my religion of Hermetic Witchcraft is heavily influenced by both science and science fiction. Read more
