One of the perks of my new job is that I start very early, on the 9th floor of a building that faces east. For the first time in my life, I’m regularly watching sunrises (and moonsets!) Over the last 11 weeks I’ve gotten to see the progress of the sun across the horizon and [...]

Wren Watching

All my life, it seems, I’ve had a weird kind of connection to wrens. They lived in my yard as a kid, and slept in the wreath my mom kept on the back porch. In college, there was a wren’s nest in the courtyard of my apartment complex. Once I got married, they slept in [...]
Rain!

Tonight will be a night of fun and thanksgiving. My fall garden is planted and I plan on doing some growing magic and asking blessings for it – and the rainy blessings falling from the sky all day today are worth celebrating as well. It’s a bit odd to be doing (essentially) fertility magic at [...]
Lammas passes to Mabon

And the wheel turns. I try to do a big “What do I need to know for the next 6 weeks?” tarot reading on each Sabbat. The one I did for Lammas was incredibly encouraging – to the point where I didn’t believe it. I actually looked at the spread and said “wow, Deck, you [...]
Full Corn Moon

Simple ritual this evening, mostly just basking in the full moonlight with my bare toes in the wet grass (it rained earlier, so double blessings today!) and reading the Charge of the Goddess. I brought an offering of cornmeal and some homemade bread, which I left on the big tree-trunk section that I have as [...]

I’m going to try out a “weekly check in” kind of post, to keep myself honest about what I’m doing (as well as to keep me “aware” of the things that are going on around me, from a seasonal perspective). I think this will usually be on Mondays, but I still had houseguests yesterday, so [...]
