Awakening the Feminine

I am pleased to tell you that one of my essays has been included in a new anthology curated by Karen Tate. My essay is called “The Path of Sacred Magic & the Goddess,” and those of you who know me will not not at all surprised at that.

The book as a whole is a collection of essays looking toward the future of the Goddess movement and how it can help us change our world for the better. Can we achieve the ambitious goals discussed by the authors in this book?

You can check it out here.

Tamala and the cutting of the thread

Tamala, the culmination of the Mysteries of Life season, is a three-day fire festival known as the Feast of the Dead. The three Fates are closely associated with the season, and at Tamala the central Fate is she who cuts the thread. This may refer to human death, to the collapse of a civilization or to the eventual end of the universe itself. All these events are circular, for maids die and are reborn, civilizations rise, fall and rise again, and even the universe, after the night of time, shall be re-manifested. Read about the inner meaning of Tamala

Late is better than never

Just a note to tell you how wonderful each of you who joined me for the Isis Magic classes this past semester is. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You inspire me. You make me do research to answer your very excellent questions. You have experiences that are different than mine and make me think of things I hadn’t considered. You make me work hard to figure out how to share all of this with you. And, oh yes, yes, yes. You teach me; we teach each other. Which really is the best way, don’t you think? I am humbled by your dedication, your Work, and your love of Her. May She bless you abundantly. And may She kick your ass when necessary (I say this only because one of the most recent comments on my blog was about Isis the Ass-Kicker…which She will do. I love You, Isis. Thank You, Isis.) And if I may say so, each of you has kicked MY ass this past semester and I am so thankful for it.

Rose of the World

The High Feast of Rosa Mundi is the central festival of Summer, opening the season of the Fire and the Rose. The season is a solar-lunar one, beginning with the summer solstice and ending with the full moon, this year a week later. The festival is traditionally celebrated with a bonfire and outdoor revelry, and roses are often given as gifts. Mystically it relates to "the innermost temple of your heart, whose form is the form of a rose". Read more about Rosa Mundi
