The Sun has just moved into the earth sign of Taurus. This is the first of the earth signs and is associated with things like stability and comfort. But, we have another friend that is positioned right now in the beginning of the sign, and that is Uranus. He is rebellious, unpredictable and likes to stir things up. As the sun moves through the sign and passes over Uranus, we can expect unexpected things to happen. Yes Read More...

by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle A member of our community asked me if I thought our elders sold us out by seeking to be accepted by the mainstream. Essentially, did I feel they watered down Witchcraft to the detriment of us all by working with other religions and the community at large? I asked him to examine how he and many of his peers came to “real” Witchcraft, and by “real,” I meant effective and Read More...

by Renee Bedard It is easy to get caught up in the panic of the moment as we try to navigate the global health crisis that we are in. Being unsure of what will come next, feeling overwhelmed, confused, and afraid are natural reactions to have while we are experiencing something that we never had to face personally. Yet, the fear of the unknown can hinder us and our ability to move forward. It takes away the Read More...

Saturn, the planet of limitation, time, and structure has just left his own sign Capricorn and entered into the sign of Aquarius. Even if we all are, more or less limited at the moment because of the situation with the coronavirus, Saturn moving into Aquarius can bring a breath of fresh air and hope. Even if we still are restricted in the same way, chances are good that at least it will feel a tiny bit better Read More...

At this critical time, the Temple community particularly recognizes and honors the work of those who provide care and support to people and society, often at risk to themselves, so we are also offering a Care Worker Protection list, a place to submit the names of people who work in the fields of medicine, public safety, service, or other care-giving work, who are in need of additional protection at this time, for their highest good.

I grew up in the northern parts of Sweden in a small town by the name of Örnsköldsvik (which translates as "eagle shield bay"). It's known as part of the beautiful high coast of Sweden, with steep cliffs descending into the sea. Also for producing talented hockey players like Peter Forsberg, Markus Näslund, the Sedin brothers, and many others. If I take my birthplace and go directly to the west, I end up in Canada or Alaska Read More...
