“I pin my hopes to quiet processes and small circles, in which vital and transforming events take place.” —Rufus Jones Last year in August, I wrote here at FAR about my own pattern of getting sick each July and the steps I have been taking over the last three years to change that pattern for […]
About Molly Remer
Beltane Moon by Molly Remer
I didn’t just stop to smell the lilacs I sang to them too praising their beauty as I pressed my nose into their blooms. I rolled redbud flowers across my tongue and ate dandelions straight from the stem feeling yellow petals in my teeth. I savored the flavor of a violet and rubbed mint leaves […]
Book Review by Molly Remer on The Other Side of the River: Stories of Women, Water and the World by Eila Carrico
“Braids, tapestries, and currents in the river show us the way again and again–it cannot be one clear way or another, it has got to be both ways and together.” ~ Eila Carrico, The Other Side of the River It took me many months to review this book and as I sit down to write about […]
Magic and Sustenance by Molly Remer
“Eating the first corn, cutting the first ripe tomato, grilling fresh fish in the open air: if done consciously, these can become rituals of love and thanksgiving to the earth that sustains us.” – Patricia Monaghan, The Goddess Companion What is sustaining you lately? We went to the river over the weekend and I laid on my […]

The Gaian Tarot Deck Review {Molly Remer}
I distinctly remember my first Tarot deck and the sense of anticipation, “danger,” and intrigue it held for me. I was about 13 when I got it, a Rider-Waite in the yellow box, and I did NOT like it. I never connected with the deck, the book was way too esoteric and, frankly, boring, and […]
Dream Blossoms {Molly Remer}
“Instead of planting our solitude with our own dream blossoms, we choke the space with continuous music, chatter, and companionship to which we do not even listen. It is simply there to fill the vacuum. When the noise stops there is not inner music to take its place.” –Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea What […]

Facing the Moon Alone {Molly Remer}
“When all is said and done I think every Witch should, at some time, face the moon alone, feet planted on the ground, with only his or her voice chanting in the starry night.” –Laurie Cabot, Power of the Witch I will never forget the first time I heard someone recite the Charge of the Goddess […]
