Martin Luther King, Jr.: “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” But a loving reminder, dear Heathens, it does not bend by itself. Our deeds are the force that bends it, or not. This is a great star to contemplate the arc from your foolish youth, to your present state, to whatever you might become in the future.

The Wheel turns, and The Wheel turns. Here we go again, for the first time! Our New Moon in Aquarius always kicks off a Lunar New year, but this year, it's also in alignment with Imbolc.

The New Moon in Aquarius is our yearly check in on our process of coming into alignment with our future, and the possibilities out in front ...

The dark is here. The shift in the Sun's path is undeniable as the days shorten and the weather grows darker and colder. The Cross-Quarter holiday Samhain (pronounced "sow-wain") is possibly the most well-known of the Sabbats. Americans celebrate it as Hallowe'en. Samhain is the true tipping point into The Underworld Journey of Winter.

This moon asks us to find something meaningful to fight for and/or to turn our swords to ploughshares. Witness the fullness of your process around your sacred warrior energy, the difference between being self-centered vs centered in Self.

Hello Heathens. Lets ground into the energy of Autumn, Mabon, and the work presented by the eclipse New Moon. As we call in the energy of the Vine and the Grape, we must consider the Seed and the Harvest. Celestial deities like Vindemiatrix and Porrima point to the labor and the oracular voices singing in the fields. The voices come from above and below, as we observe Ancestor feeding rituals. Witches are called to attend the Scales, and engage the action of balancing the Light and Dark as we st...

Witches! We are officially in the last 7 days of Gemini, Beltane, and Spring! The Waxing Half Moon is a Moon for adjustment and friction, both with an eye for progress and creation. Virgo is intense about organization, accounting, and getting our work done - but it can also go overboard with exacting critiques. The astro of this Moon…is probably gonna feel moody and surreal. This Moon is opposite Saturn and Neptune, and square the Sun, Mercury, and Venus.... Notes for each week's podcast are ava...

This portion of the lunar process, and in particular this Pisces phase can be a tough moment.

This week is a mixed bag of astrology. Helpful and stabilizing at the beginning, ominous and explosive as the week goes on.

Get real with yourself around whatever privileges you may have and how you can leverage them to help the collective. Our week also offers us an interesting collection of emotions: many Pagan holy days this week are about remembering our fallen Witches and other ...
