by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle When you do the work of the Witch, you take certain things for granted. If something wasn’t spelled out for you, you often didn’t spell it out to those around you, including students and peers. Such understandings can come in the silent knowing. But as we grow as a community, we need to be more skillful in transmitting the mystery techniques. Some things need a little more vocabulary and context Read More...

Some relationships get us deeper in the heart than others. That's just the way it is. And it's not necessarily the length of the meeting or the relationship that determines how deep it will affect us. Some wounds of the heart heal and mend over time, others need more help and assistance. Right now the planet Venus (love, relationships) has moved into the sign of Aries (self) right next to both Chiron (healing) and Lilith black moon Read More...

by Renee Bedard As Reiki practitioners, part of our calling is to assist others to begin their healing. We provide comfort and sacred space. We offer support while a client is releasing fear, sorrow, guilt, and pain.

by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle I was recently speaking to a high priestess who was a bit bereft. During her years of training, the intensity of the classes helped her keep focus.

She compared herself to those around her, who all seemed to have a clear road of mystical work and service before them. She couldn’t help wondering Read More...

The asteroid Pallas Athena has just moved into the sign of Capricorn. There she is helping us to have a strategic plan on how to move forward with our career, work, and how to reach success and fame. Pallas always has a plan, because she is very clever and when she strikes she rarely misses her point. When in Capricorn she can also assist us with protection, boundaries and how to say no to things that are Read More...

by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle I am on a quest for the Holy Grail of nuance in a wasteland of hyperbole and bravado. I seek a holy cup bejeweled with sensitivity and sharing, and I find a cup filled with salt and fire. No, I am not talking about a deep and powerful pathworking through otherworlds, but my experience on social media this week. I have become That Guy, the one who argues with people Read More...

JT Mouradian is a panentheistic, monotheistic, pantheistic, polytheistic, animistic, and agnostic, eclectic witch, enamored with all things Irish, and with a healthy obsession around Jesus of Nazareth and his companion Mary Magdalene. He has been studying everything that he can get his hands on since he was a little boy. In his late teens, he focused this energy on spiritual, ontological, and metaphysical matters and that work has shaped him for the last thirty years. He is actively Read More...
