When I first began writing this blog, I had such grand plans. My first thought was, “I’m going to write five blogs a week with themed days, and it’s going to be great!” The reality was that while, one day, this may be possible, with everything going on, it wasn’t sustainable. At least, though, IContinue reading “Take a Moment”

Samhain: The Darkest of Days
There’s just something about October. Ever since I was a child, for many reasons the tenth month of the year was always my favorite. The weather was starting to feel cool which, for those of you who live on or near the gulf coast know, was a welcome relief from the scorching heat and stickyContinue reading “Samhain: The Darkest of Days”
Imposter Witch
Think back to when you first decided to fully embrace the witch in you. How did you feel? If you’re like me, you had a profound sense that you could achieve anything you set your mind to. It was almost as if I put in a cheat code on life and things suddenly seemed soContinue reading “Imposter Witch”
Brain Fog
It’s been a hell of a year, hasn’t it? I remember it was only ten months ago when I was sitting in my classroom, longing for the new year. Half way to the end of the school year, my final year of teaching, and excited to continue to grow in my spiritual journey while embarkingContinue reading “Brain Fog”
What Do You Call a Male Witch?
As a Millennial, watching internet culture evolve and grow has been one of the more interesting and exciting aspects of our lifetime. We’re old enough that we can remember corded phones and the dial-up screeching of our AOL internet and yet young enough that we know our way around computers and smart phones. In someContinue reading “What Do You Call a Male Witch?”
We’re Only Human
It’s hard describing how empowered you feel when you first embrace the witch in you. It’s almost like you know you can accomplish or achieve anything you set your mind to. Suddenly, there’s a world of possibility and nothing is standing in your way. You become aware of the potential inside of you and theContinue reading “We’re Only Human”
What is a Book of Shadows?
It sounds pretty epic, doesn’t it? Like a tome of ancient wisdom passed down from Merlin himself or a quest item in the sprawling RPG you’ve poured hundreds of hours into (looking at you Skyrim and Dragon Age: Inquisition). If you’ve seen Charmed, the Book of Shadows the Halliwell sisters consult in every episode onlyContinue reading “What is a Book of Shadows?”
Pagan or Wiccan: What’s the Difference?
One of the things I love most about the spiritual community is the diversity within it. I have had the honor and pleasure of meeting so many amazing people, all from different walks of life, united in mutual respect for one another, appreciative of our similarities, but grateful for our uniqueness as well. Because weContinue reading “Pagan or Wiccan: What’s the Difference?”
Spells and Their Risks
My grandmother called me fat last night. It’s nothing new. My whole life (even before I was overweight), she’s had this obsession with size and weight. I never quite understood the fixation, but when I was younger, it understandably would hurt to hear it. Now that I’m older… well… It still hurts. Especially since I’veContinue reading “Spells and Their Risks”
An Argument Against Love Spells
As a high school teacher, it was incredible to me how interested my students were in whether or not I was married. When I first stepped into the classroom as an educator, I was twenty-five, and when they inevitably found out that I was a Ms. and not a Mrs., they would tell me, “Don’tContinue reading “An Argument Against Love Spells”
