  • Full Blood Moon Eclipse in Leo: Heart-to-Heart Tarot Spread for Self Love and Acceptance - "On the 21st of January there will be a stellar astrological event. The Leo full Moon (also known as the Wolf/Snow Moon in the Northern hemisphere) will be fully eclipsed thus, transforming it into a Blood Moon. The eclipse will enhance the effects of the full Moon, adding extra oomph to the emotions, the magick, the madness, and the beauty of the night. On this night, the Sun will be in Aquarius and the Moon will be in Leo. Aquarius is the air to Leo’s flames meaning that there will be a lot of quick, emotional, and fiery energy during this full Moon. As such, this is not the time to be making any big decisions. Be mindful of your feelings. Is what you’re feeling true, or is it an overblown reaction compounded by the Moon? If you’re unsure, wait and watch and keep your silence, for now. The same goes for interactions with others, try not to take any outburst to heart over the period of full Moon. Issues can always be addressed after the full Moon passes. It is true that Blood Moons are intense and swirling with unruly energy. But it is also true that you are strong and you are magick. You can command the Blood Moon energy as you see fit. If you choose, you can surrender to the night and flow wherever the energy takes you, or you can stand firm and direct your course through the dark. There is no right or wrong. Just know the choice is yours."

  • “Stand just here and indulge my snow-struck heart for a moment. Hold my hand so tightly our pitiful flesh loses all meaning; then and only then will our wild communion begin. A bone to bone kinship is what I need now, you see, as we ride this holy rock ‘round that arrogant and lusty star one more time, as we fatten ourselves with the promise of a new year done right. I’m calling this the Year of the Hag, even as the blue-skinned Cailleach hardens into a hillside crag, and I need you to humor me, just this once. I wouldn’t ask, but I know you feel it, too, my sister-in-lawlessness. That great Imbolc swell is upon us, and the browning ground is rising and falling under our chilled feet like faintly pulsed but still breathing land, like the soul of this Wolf Moon went underground to dream us all into being one milk-silver breath at a time, like the loam-skinned and grey-eyed crone who rules this ground is hissing in rhythm with the songs of our foremothers somewhere in the deep below. Surely, this is the midwinter of my heart’s longing, and I’m pressing my aching face to this iced-over mud, whisper praying with an urgency that I might hear the echo of prophecies foretold long ago by those old gods who were made of bone and lightning, who held the whole world together with their rough-woven stories and hard-loving commandments.” Read the rest of Danielle Dulsky’s @Wolf womanwitch words on her #versesofthewildwitch column on #thehouseoftwigs #thot #witchesofinstagram #heathensofinstagram #pagansofinstagram #witchywriters #imbolc #fullmoon #wolfmoon
  • Life, Light, Death, & Darkness: How Brighid Became Maman Brigitte - “Within modern witchcraft and Paganism there’s always some discussion or other about cultural appropriation, whether or not to mix pantheons, who can worship what and so on and so forth. Sometimes we get too caught up in these issues, we let them dictate what we practise, think and feel; all the while never realising, or perhaps forgetting that the Gods and transformation go hand in hand. Within many pantheons, the Gods represent natural and supernatural forces. And sometimes, those Gods transform and lend themselves to those in need, no matter the divisions among us. When I first began my own witchcraft journey, I struggled a lot with issues of what to practise and what to believe. I’m mixed race; my mum is white English, my father black Jamaican and it didn’t matter what I practised or how I tweaked my practise. I always felt like I was ignoring some vital part of my heritage. Perhaps that is why the Celtic goddess Brighid and the Vodou loa Maman Brigitte speak to something in my soul. Let me explain…” #vodou #witchesofinstagram #pagansofinstagram @emmakathrynwildwitch out now on #ObeahWomanWhispers #mamanbrigitte #brighid #goddess #witchy
  • New column out by @sourceandstone #sourcespiritguidance on #TheHouseofTwigs #THoT ~ "We have entered a powerful & transformational year in which many things will be shifting and aligning in accordance to all of the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical work we’ve put into 2018. I felt the call to contribute something that would be a tool as well as an accessible connection to divine feminine energy, so after taking a shamanic journey to get an idea of what that would look like I was guided to create a goddess oracle! Each month will present the available goddess energy for us to tap into, with channeled messages from each one detailing how they are making themselves available for us. Without further ado, for the month of January I present Fortuna, Shakti and Kali. Fortuna…I am the Roman goddess of fortune in all its forms – luck, chance, windfalls, opportunities and synchronicities. My energy is available for you to call on while you weave your future, so that I may tip the scales in your favor. My blessings don’t always show themselves in riches; sometimes they manifest as an opportunity missed and a valuable lesson learned! If this is the case, do not fret as you can rest easy knowing that when one door closes another one opens..and you may try your luck again! Shakti…I am a Hindu goddess charged with lighting the fire of creativity within you. I activate the power of creation within you through your inner divine feminine energy, so that you may meet it with purposeful action powered by divine masculine energy. This will help you to create new worlds, new realities and of course, manifest your heart’s desire. You are always creating, whether you’re aware of it or not and I am here to help you do so with heart. Kali…I am known as the fierce Hindu goddess of change, transformation and destruction…and I can certainly help you with breaking through obstacles...” Stay tuned for more #witchschool #goddesscast #witchesofinstagram #pagansofinstagram #astrology #channeled
