“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 […]

Sacred Fire by Renee Starr

Fire is […]
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 […]
