Fireball Rockets through the Midwestern SkiesThis morning as I was getting ready, I was listening to the Eau Claire, Wisconsin, news station and heard that what people were calling a meteorite (although they were not confirming that it was such a thing) was spotted rocketing through the sky in at least five states and that a sonic boom was also [...] Advice for Young People Who Want to Become MagiciansIt seems like every week I receive at least one person asking, “I want to do magick and join a coven or magickal group, but my parents won’t let me. I’m only fifteen and can’t move away. What should I do?” Being an older teen (or even a younger one) can be such a difficult [...] Playing With The CardsThere are two areas that I plan on exploring rather intensively over the next few months and I’d love to hear about any adventures you may be having with similar ideas. Ever since I learned Josephine Ellershaw’s Life and Anchor Reading in Easy Tarot, I’ve been bewitched by the idea she presents. This reading is [...] 5 Worst Astrological Love PairingsYesterday morning, my mother sent me a link to an article in her local Albuquerque newspaper regarding the “5 Worst Astrological Pairings for Romance.” While there are going to be ups and downs in any relationship, no matter the sun sign (we are, after all, more than a simple summation of our sun signs), I [...] Creating SpreadsDo you know people who love to make jewelry but don’t wear it, love to bake but don’t eat sweets, or something like that? I am that way with spreads. I really love creating spreads; I don’t mean the on-the-spot specific spreads, but more general spreads. I make them up, test them, use them a [...] Magickal Tools for All MagickiansIn my novel, The Resurrection Murders, I described a magickal order called “AMOCT.” For years I was a member of a similar organization. They were set up to give home lessons, and the lessons were set up into three basic sets. First came the introductory set of lessons that lasted about a year. Then came [...] New Moon in Aries, April 14, 2010This New Moon in Aries occurs on Wednesday, April 14th at 8:29 AM Eastern (12:30 UTC). This New Moon highlights the fiery qualities of Aries (independence and confidence) and those of the self (the astrological first house). Things begun during this time of the Aries New Moon will come to fruition with the Full Moon [...] Magick, Hypnosis, and Self-EmpowermentIn his 1973 book, Time Enough for Love, Robert A. Heinlein wrote, A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, [...] Structure but no MeaningDuring my “I don’t need no stinkin’ spreads” phase, I threw cards down in a long line or in several shorter lines in rows. I looked at the cards and often had no idea of how to start interpreting the reading. If any of you do practice this and can either explain or point me [...] Consistency & HobgoblinsWho was it that waxed pithily about consistency and hobgoblins and small minds? Well, I’m sure someone else came up with a snappy comeback about inconsistency and flightiness. In my twenty years of playing with tarot, I cannot claim any sort of consistency in any area. Not one. And that includes my practices regarding spreads. [...] MEET THE BLOGGERS
