Today is a magical day, beyond the last of the season. It is our only every four years leap day and as with any statistical anomaly, folklore and superstition bleeds through the gap. The leap year is so named for reasons beyond mathematically challenged Gregorians. The explanation is actually astronomical. Our sun’s orbit is 365…
As a country pup used to still waters and river banks she can clamber up and down, it has taken some time for Stell to get her sea legs. Our daily excursions to the beach have been a gentle exercise in adjustment and trust and learning. It was never the roar of the ocean that…
Though it may not feel like it just yet darklings, this year is built on blooming. Rooting into yourself deeply, composting the shit and turning it into nourishment, learning and growing. As a constant gardener, I have resown my offerings this year to meet the changing climate. New Beginnings Reading For those taking a courageous…

Because as the statistics overwhelmingly prove, the epidemic of domestic violence in our country – and probably yours too – is beyond crisis point and only getting…
Dark moon bolthole, anyone? You know by now darklings my penchant for the isolation and wonder of the dark moon. And its blessed bliss is now upon us in the midst of madness, mayhem and a solid first week Mercing. This isn’t necessarily a sense maker, because that’s not the nature of the dark moon…
The anaretic or final degree of Aquaria is so odd and tangential, times by eleventy when mixed with fresh retrograde Mercing. That was yesterday’s prelude to the sun’s plunge into Pisces and our latest initiation point. Now we dive into Neptunia. Pisces is our shamanic sight line, the domain of peak emo as barometer and…
