The key to understanding it is the concept of “binary.”Binary refers to the number 2 and [...] What is Your Pet’s Sun Sign?My husband and I have two cats, Bosco and Buckley. Both are seven-year-old males, Buckley being adopted by me from the Humane Society when he was 6 weeks old and Bosco being adopted by my husband from a different Humane Society when he was 3 years old.

Or do you work with them to develop a really good, well-thought-out, clear question? For most of my reading practice, I was the Queen of the Questions. I felt that questions were Very Very Important. They had to [...] Ancient Fertility RitualsIn Modern Magick I write about the two histories of the Kabalah. One, the most well-known version, is mythical and metaphoric. The second is factual and historic. This second history indicates that there are predecessors to Kabalistic thought and magick. One of these predecessors was local (i.e., Semitic) folk magick and beliefs. Sometimes, the folk traditions [...] Sun Enters CancerCancer, The Crab June 21 to July 22 Modality: Cardinal Element: Water Ruler: Moon Keywords: Receptive, patient, intuitive, nurturing, sensitive, imaginative As a Cancer, you are known for your nurturing nature; you will do your best to make others feel secure, and will go to great lengths to ensure that you have strong family relationships [...] What is the Summer Solstice?Today marks the beginning of summer, the longest day of the year, and a time of celebration at Stonehenge and everywhere else across the northern hemisphere.
