Whether it is astronomical convergences, or historical cycles, or just coincidence, these past few months have seemed to be time of galactic change in the lives of many people I know. Whatever the cause, upheaval, forced truth-facing, losing one life and embarking on a new one, emotional anarchy, creative excitement and inspiration, initiations and rebirths… Continue reading Gathering Roses in Galactic Maelstroms

Snow for the Winter of Life
The older I get, the more I love the snow. This winter, as more snow has fallen than in almost any winter on record, I hated what it did to the convenience in my life at first.

So, this is for that… Continue reading To the Hermit’s Cave

The ABCs of Goddess in Everyday Life
I was just sent a fun meme game by Aerolin in which you are supposed to write 26 things about yourself using the alphabet. Well, since I love to change rules, I’m going to write instead about 26 things in which I find Goddess around the house. Here goes! A is for apple, that fruit… Continue reading The ABCs of Goddess in Everyday Life
