Like many astrologers, I have had more than one career. I worked in an accounting firm, directed the operations of academic libraries, had my own psychotherapy practice, with a partner and owned an independent bookstore. I also taught at both high school and college levels. Right after I earned my master's degree, I went to work for a CPA in Denver, Colorado. His secretary was taking an astrology class, and one day she asked me about the math. I didn't know anything about astrology, but I figured I could understand the math. It turned out to be systematic addition and subtraction of numbers derived from books of tables. Not all that big of a deal, but I could tell math was not the ...

One of the things I have commented upon in my writing is that for some practitioners, certain aspects of the Kabbalah and ceremonial magick are very "left-brained." These practices, which are a focus for some people, though logical and well thought out, lack passion. Indeed, I was there once. I was a member of a magickal group where you were required to choose a magickal name.

The congregation knew by heart the answers to the officiating ...

Through yoga, I first had exposure to the Eastern traditions of spirituality. At the time though, I didn't think of it as spiritual. I was looking for a form of exercise that didn't involve lifting heavy weights or spending hours on a treadmill. I think that's how a lot of Westerners come to yoga. We find it at our health clubs, gyms, or on videos that allow us to exercise at home. It sneaks in, but soon, if we are lucky enough to have a good teacher, the precepts can sneak in too. Yogic philosophy becomes integrated into our outlook on life. The postures become not just exercise, but life teachers. We manifest their qualities in our day-to-day life. We know to hold strong with the power ...

Plants that may seem so familiar and ordinary can be surprisingly magical. Of course, we can nip out to the store or go online and buy whatever we want regardless of the season, but when you start...
