Candle Magic
Sacred Fire by Renee Starr
Fire is wild, primal, awesome, and sacred. It is magic at its most powerful. When working with fire, we are working with one of the most ancient of elemental qualities, which is that of creation/destruction, and also with the essence of desire, or will in order to manifest and materialize something into existence. Fire is […]
Ways to Celebrate Brigid’s Day and Imbolc by Kimberly Moore
“The Sun’s path has returned to where it was at Samhain. Take some time to notice the quality of the light, for it is the same now as that shimmering magical glow of late October. But instead of the season of dark and silence before us, in the Northern Hemisphere, the season of light and growth […]
Hathor, Lady of Jubilation and A Candle Working by Brandi Auset

Goddess Devotions – Prayers to Yemaya by Kimberly F. Moore
The Goddess Devotions practice has unfolded for the last two Sundays, that is, until Yemaya happened today. We had so many petitions for Guadalupe that I lit a second candle mid-week which mysteriously flickered out this afternoon. I noticed this after arriving back from the market with white roses. There was still no inkling of […]
