Cowry Shells have many different sizes and colors. The ones we are most familiar with are about 1/2 inch long. They can get as large as 2-3 inches in some cases. They are beautiful very feminine shells. Boasting beautiful colors, round womanly shapes, and very feminine lips. Treasured for thousands of years by many different cultures this prized shell can make an excellent bath divination tool. My Bathtub has a nice little corner which I have made into a altar...

Happy Eostara! Eostara is one of my favorite Sabbats (hmmm I might say that for all of them) As many of you know I love flowers. Being that this is the Sabbat of spring time, the time of the maiden, who shows her face through the beautiful flowers, and hints of spring. I thought it appropriate to celebrate and give offerings of beautiful flowers to the Maiden Goddess. I spend time this past weekend down at the River. I... Read more
Lately I have found myself to be more of a Celtic Reconstructionist. This is not a solid thing, I have decided, but a part of this organic path. I have been really drawn to the more “authentic” and “historical” practices of the Celts, Roman occupied Britton and the Brittons and their religious practices in general pre- Queen Elisabeth I. This means that some of my beloved practices have brought me some heart ache and confusion.I have recently seen many people... Read more
I dont have what she has, this is a common thought that races through my head. I see someone that has a wonderful practice, business etc. She is successful, pretty, and kind. I think WOW I want to be that! I wish I was her, I wish I could do that, She is so pretty, and skinny, I want those legs, I wish I could paint like that, I wish I could dance like that, I wish, I wish, I... Read more
I am a Priestess. This is something that I earned, something that I have literally put blood, sweat, and many tears into. If you are wondering if my training required these things the answer is no. My training demanded academic and spiritual work. The training from Goddesses demands blood, sweat, tears, time, and complete surrender. It was when I had started to teach my students in the craft that the reality of what a Priestess really was came to me.... Read more
Recently in my practice I have been feeling like there was something missing. Something sacred that during ritual I just needed to have on my altar, dip my fingers into etc. Well after several times of feeling this way, I meditated and found that I needed to work with a sacred bowl. Not a cauldron, which is very important to me as well, but a bowl. Something to told sacred waters. I started to look around. I wanted it to... Read more
*This article has been updated for accuracy* This blog has been almost exactly 9 months in the making. I chuckle at this, 9 months is the time of gestation, from conception to birth. It is also a very magical number! If you have been following my blog you know that I was in the UK last May. I wrote several blogs about my experiences, but time got away from me and finishing these blogs were last priority. Then last night... Read more
Blessed Imbolc! I hope that the turn of the wheel, and the first month in 2013 has treated you well. While the rest of the world is experiencing the first glimpse of spring with snow drops and crocus peeking out of the ground. Here in Arizona we are experiencing a mix of death and birth. The leaves are still golden and falling to the ground from our first frost. The bunnies are out as if it were already Eostara. I... Read more
I have a million things to do, some things to write, tidy up the house. I’m cold and and I am trying to focus, but it isn’t going to happen. Nope, because all I can think about is Courage. I am just not going to get anything done, nope not until this blog is written, it wants to be written and needs to be written……. Lets start several weeks ago. The full moon in December 2012, I was asked to... Read more
During the holidays I have a hard time focusing on writing, mostly because there are so many distractions. So I like to take advantage of these times, the times I’m not writing, grading, etc etc to feed my soul with a little Witchy crafting! First! There was a little gem show here at the Community college. The prices were pretty reasonable, and there was a great selection. I did a little shopping for a friend, as well as picked up... Read more
