One of the ways this year and this virus is infecting us the most is through fear. All of us live with fear but mostly we push it to the back of our minds. Times like these have made that an impossibility. There it is in your face and on the news and in the stricken…
As we set sail towards the glimmering new moon horizon, we still have blessed hours in the quiet of the dark. I am a rabid fan of these cauldron spaces and what is always held in the void between. Sinking deeply into their magic and mystery is its own reward. Here we try to tie…
Dear Saturn, You bastard. It occurred to me that a pertinent ritual to perform at the time of Saturn’s motion direct would be to write a letter to old Father Time. The first draft (above) was a little less eloquent than I had in mind but it has been an eye rolling week indeed as…
Acquire all that you will need for your new moon ritual during the dark moon. You will require seeds or seedlings, a pot to plant in or a well-nourished garden bed and a fully cleared amethyst crystal. Ideally purchase a new amethyst and bathe it in salt water to clear any residue from its travels…
All too often we still feel tethered to the energy of something or someone. Yet we know intuitively that it no longer serves us and that it is time to move on.

Eclipse season is always a long player that ripples along many lines. The moon cycles that mirror this nineteen years previously and nineteen years hence. The six months back to the last pretty pair of eclipses and the influences that take us up to the next in six months time. This moment is akin to…
We are approaching the mid point between the eclipse we have had quite enough of already and its pretty partner, at the shimmering new moon in Aquarius next week. Is it just me or is this an arduously glacial gamechanger whose minutes are whizzing past as the days drag by? Mercury already in Aquaria may…
The ancient tales of eclipsia are shrouded in an uneasiness, as peoples dependent on the sun and moon gods for their very lives were rattled by this cosmic disappearing act. I wonder if very much has changed even in our terribly modern world, jammed with knowledge and short on understanding, as we stand starstruck still….
Our first full moon peaks later today in Cancer, the bright lady’s home state and the hallowed realm of nurturing and nourishment. She is the divine feminine supercharged: as close to us as she can be (perigree) as earth too moves as close to the sun as she can (perihelion). These powerful astronomical markers are…
