Here is an old lesson of mine from October 27, 2019. --- The first sliver of light in the sky is the New Moon, or in Hellenic Polytheism, the Noumenia, marking the beginning of a lunar month and new beginnings energy-wise. For some cultures, the new moon was a time for rest or celebration! The Ancient Greeks celebrated Noumenia by honoring their household gods with honey cakes and wine, in hopes that They would bless the home and family for another month. For others, the new moon was a time to celebrate the return of the light (a theme that one sees on the Winter Solstice and in spring as well). The new moon is often a time of purification of home and self. Sometimes if I’m not able to clean on the dark moon, I usually do/or continue to clean on the new moon. Removal of the old month’s or old cycle’s stagnant and unwanted energies to make way for the new cycle’s energies. The new moon is a time of rebirth and renewal. A time for new magiks, or those magiks and rituals that foc...

 An Old Journal Entry About My First Known Possessory Experience. July 9, 2020 A couple of years ago, I was having some issues with an aunt, who was making fun of my Dyslexia, saying that it wasn’t a real thing—it was all in my head (of course it’s all in my head, it’s a learning disability). I was on my Wordpress (From the Mud), working on a post, when I zoned out, and came back to a typed out message from Dionysus. It was a message to me, all about how I shouldn't take that crap, no matter how much I loved my aunt, before she was on Facebook. Better to know now...and cut her out of my life, too. (For some reason Wordpress was a favorite platform for Dionysus to do that. I believe it was my first automatic typing experience.) Despite this incredible experience--which had me exploring channeling and trance work in more depth--I was still on the fence. Mrs. Indecisive. I thought He was being too harsh. She was my aunt after all (although shortly before this, I had cut her brother--...

  My 41st birthday was on Friday, and it was a great weekend. My hubs got me a patio chair and table that I’ve been wanting forever. I love it. After a sushi dinner and some gluten-free cake, I did a Birthday reading for myself, using the Bee Tarot and the Fairy Tale Fortune decks. My guides pretty much said to keep on weaning myself from the internet and screens, and good things will come from it. “Abundance in all areas of my life—wealth and other forms of positive abundance.” It’s going to required work, effort, and discipline, and a push through the fear. The stagnation I’ve been trapped in is coming to an end. Yay! The Fairy Tale Fortune deck told me to have fun on Saturday and buy what I want without guilt. (I get terrible buyer remorse when I buy for me.) The Sun and The Lily. Success and Happiness. We had beautiful weather yesterday. I went to a hippie liberal town here in Ohio called Yellow Springs with my BFF and her mom, as we’ve done once a year since our Wright State U...

Happy 41st birthday to me and others who share this birthday! My hubs surprised me with something that I’ve been wanting for years! A patio chair! I can finally enjoy my porch.

 In the ADF Member Discord, there’s a discussion about the best and worst connections that people have with the Kindreds. Kindred’s being the Ancestors, Nature Spirits, and Deities/Shining Ones. Naturally, it got me thinking about my own connections. When I was a little witch, before I knew that witches and Pagans were real, I was surrounded by spirits that I could see. Imaginary friends, the adults call them. But I knew they were real. My Unseen Friends….unseen by those without certain abilities. Certain abilities that most kids tend to outgrow. Mine outgrew just a tad. I had to work to reawaken them as an adult. When I was a kid, I remember human and animal spirits, and other creatures and beings that had no names. Shoot, one of my earliest pleasant memories was being a baby or toddler and looking up from a bed or a pen in the living room, at people who were slightly glowing and see-through. Ancestors. I’ve long since confirmed this. (I’ve also seen my little ones rea...

  After my  last post , I decided to follow these waves of change that I’ve been feeling, just going with the flow. I’ve been going back and forth for months about whether or not I wanted to delete a blog that I’ve had for 14 years. A site that was my safe space, where I could go and talk about whatever. A place that I really put a lot of effort, love, and care into. A place that I’ve done a lot of healing and growing. A place that’s helped me come across a lot of cool and interesting people, and learn from those people. A place that I no longer need. After I left Facebook in August last year, and then the rest of Meta in November, closing accounts just got easier. Weights that I didn’t realize I was carrying were lifted. I missed some aspects, but overall I didn’t miss it. The stress, the doom scrolling, the trolls, inconsistent rules and standards, fighting algorithms—I realized just how bad it was for my mental and physical health! One of the best decisions of my life was d...

I was really angry and unfocused today. I decided to ground by watching something that makes me happy and is educational: bee keeping videos. I’ve also been studying bee communications and dancing—experimenting with those movements with belly dancing, too.  Figuring out the Waggle Dance as a way to honor The Melissae. When I experience dancing Melissae, they’re usually doing some kind of belly dancing, or a hybrid with another style. I’m certainly not well versed in dancing, so I’m not sure exactly what kind of dancing. I do know that back when I belly danced before my back injury in 2019, I was often joined by nymphs and Melissae. I’ve been working on my strength and flexibility so I can dance again. I miss it. And I’d like to honor more than just Medusa.

 (Posted on my Substack .) Originally posted to my Blogpost Book of Mirrors . I attended a monthly trance study with a FB group called Mud Lotus Project. I pulled from  Tarot of the Divine  first, which for me is a deck claimed by Kuan Yin. Again for me, often Kuan Yin and Green Tara are one entity and sometimes separate. Kuan Yin/Green Tara, what is your message? “ Listen .” Judgement  – Improvement The Sun  – Accomplishment, joy, luck, vitality (big pendulum swing on this one). We got into a posture--a posture that Green Tara is often depicted in, and we chanted her mantra 6 times. "OM TARE TUTARE TURE SVAHA" 6 times. Then the host began to rattle, and we all went on a little journey. I was greeted by a Bee Nymph—a honey bee. She stung me, filled me with venom to cleanse. Our Bee Sisters also stung me, purifying me. I opened my arms, accepting their stings. I woke up on a white flower. Shiva picked me up and put me across His shoulders. He dance around a fire,...
