The Dark Goddess. Who is She? What is She? The dark goddess rules over everything we fear. She offers us wisdom in exchange for pain. The dark goddess is sometimes terrifying, her lessons often painful, but the dark goddess dwells within each of us and is a vital part of our being. She is the force that shines within us in our darkest hour and the face we turn to when we seek rebirth. She Teaches Us She likes nothing... Read more

Astrology is prevalent throughout tarot, as many tarot practitioners know. On the spring equinox, Aries season begins and takes us through mid-April. Many people may be familiar with The Emperor card in tarot being the big Aries card, and it’s easy to understand why. But did you know there are more cards in tarot associated with each zodiac sign aside from their major Arcana card? For Aries, the suit of wands contains many cards that capture the drive and passion... Read more

Earlier this year I wrote about the numerological value for 2024, the number 8. That blog post focused on the Strength tarot card (number 8 in the Rider-Waite-Smith system) and how it can help us through this year. The major arcana Strength card is not the only card in tarot that encourages us to be strong and persevere. All of the 8 cards in tarot reflect our need to be strong, just in different aspects of our lives. The Meaning... Read more

January often reminds us to go back to the basics and reset ourselves energetically for the upcoming year. Many people have new year’s traditions that they do, such as eating certain foods, abstaining from certain chores, and magick to bring prosperity and luck to the household. This year, I decided to cleanse my house on New Year’s Eve instead of waiting until New Year’s Day. We were having house guests over the new year and I did not want to... Read more

Monday kicks off a new year, and that means new year’s resolutions are on people’s minds. Even if you don’t make new year’s resolutions, you are still seeing them mentioned on social media and TV commercials. One of my favorite social media memes about new years resolutions talks about making fun ones, instead of always trying to make serious ones such as trying new foods or being silly. I like this sentiment because setting deep, often difficult goals puts a... Read more

Mother’s Night, or Mōdraniht in Old English, is sacred to Frigg, Freya, and the Disir in Norse Paganism. The disir are our holy ancestral mothers, both those people we knew in life as well as older ancestors long before our time. Mother’s Night is typically celebrated on December 20, or the night before the Winter Solstice/Yule, and kicks off the 12 Days of Yule. I consider December 20 (last night) to be Mother’s Night since today is the Winter Solstice.... Read more

The Yuletide season is here, which means social media is full of memes about the Icelandic Yule Cat and Krampus. The Yule and Christmas season has always been a favorite for me, but my fascination with the Yuletide season has greatly expanded since I began learning about the different Yule beings from across the world. Krampus Many people are familiar with Krampus. He has taken over the internet as the darker, edgier side of Yule. There is a lot of... Read more

I love having a relationship with my local land spirits, but I understand they are not perceived as being as exciting to work with as deities. They are, however, amazing beings who make great allies or terrible enemies. Land spirits are spirits or beings who live in the land or specific features of a land – such as a much-famed hill or pond or mountain. There are land spirits everywhere, multiple ones most likely. It is possible to have spirits... Read more
