Day 1 I arrived at Waking Persephone late, I was so excited to get there but the traffic was against me the whole way. There were 2 major accidents that put me about 30 min behind. I hate when students arrive at my class really late and I hated it even more that “I” am the student that arrived not just late but rudely late. Regardless the ladies at the front were very kind and encouraged me to sneak in... Read more
The unknown and accidental Glamour that comes with Priestesshood and how to not make the same mistakes I did. Peeling back the layers of the rose, we are all the same, but what makes the difference between the seeker and the Priestess? The Priestess has been where the seeker is, not just once but many times. They heard the call, fearlessly jumped off the ledge and then proceeded to fall, stumble, scrape their knees; yet they got up and moved... Read more
Over the last 6 months, I have recently found myself telling my students over and over, “It sounds like you need an evil eye talisman.” I have said this so much that I have started to see my Roses (aka students of various mediums) regurgitating the same information back to others, implementing it into their own work, and actively shielding against it! “Well”, I said to myself, “If you keep saying this so much, perhaps it is you that needs...

Behold we arise with the dawn of time from the grey and misty sea, And with the dusk we sink in the western ocean And the lives of a man are strung like pearls on the thread of his spirit; And never in all his journey goes he alone, For that which is solitary is barren. ~Dion Fortune~ Pearls are some of the most beautiful creations on this planet. While they are incredibly beautiful they are actually formed from... Read more

Since it is spring I decided to start with the Chalice well. The Chalice well has so much history both Christian... Read more
It was time to return to the hot mineral waters of Tonopah. El Dorado Hot Springs which means “Hot water under the bush” is a Hot Spring in Tonopah Arizona. These hot waters bubble up from the subterranean hot springs that lie under the hot desert sands. The waters are thick with a soothing mix of natural minerals. Ducks, Peafowl and wild birds roam the desert oasis, which is full of life. Don’t let the hot desert fool you, there... Read more
One of the most common things I hear is “What is a Priestess of Avalon?” To really understand what a Priestess of Avalon is, we must first explore what being a priestess is and what or where Avalon is. In addition to this, there are many that believe that Priestess is a title that is earned, while others say it is a path of service they were called to, and still others say it is devotion to a particular deity...

Last month I was out of town much of the month. Part of my travel was to San Francisco for a lovely well needed vacation. The second part was to attend my 2nd year at Pantheacon. It was a fantastic time, and I will be blogging about some of the things I learned very soon. However this blog is all about a Sea Charm for protection. I was very excited to attend Pantheacon this year, a good friend was planning... Read more
Avalon is the Isle of Apples, the Mystical place of intense healing and rebirth… So this spell is just a little rhyme that I use to help me part the Mists and journey to Avalon to heal… I anoint my brow with the red waters of the Chalice well I anoint my hands and feet with the white lime/calcium saturated waters of the White well Then I whisper… Waters of Avalon draw me near To the place that I hold...
