This week contains our last Waning Half Moon and last Balsamic Moon of Gemini, Beltane, and Spring. This week is encouraging review and consolidation of all we have experienced in this portion of our cycle around The Wheel. What needs to be embraced and carried forward? What needs to be modified or adjusted? What needs to be ended and left behind? Entities like The Muses, Orion, and Fortune help us with this appraisal. Entities like Suijin, Isis, and the Spirits of Holy Waters help us bath and purify ourselves to prepare for what comes next.

Tarot: Magician

Witchcraft: finishing up Beltane work, Divination for Summer

WE ARE GOING HARD THIS WEEK WITCHES! Soooo many Gemini and Sag oriented festivals this week. We are stepping into the rushing stream of energy that will carry us into Summer. Deities like Artemis, Bendis, Ochosi, Dano, and Jarlio oversee and guide our work, just to name a few. Our astrology is asking us to engage some tough and murky emotional terrain, but we are gifted with. some sweetness at the end of the week.

Tarot: 8 of Swords

Witch's Work: Protection Magick, offerings to Local Spirits

Adjustment is the name of the game this week. Don't get lost in the sauce, ask for help and guidance from Holy archetypes like Mary Mediatrix, Vesta, and St. Joan D'Arc, or clear thinking from the Goddess Mens. We step over another threshold into the last weeks of Beltane and Spring. Reach up and call down the lightning to empower your Works.

Witch Work: fecundity, divination, sensuality

Tarot: The Magician

Are you ready to FECUND? Because it's time. To. Plant!! Goddesses like Carna, St Sara la Kali, and Athena oversee our process this week. It's time to burst out of our shells and begin establishing ourselves on the physical plane.

BELTANE - MAY DAY / WITCH’S NIGHT - Wheel of the Year Series 2023

Witchcraft: Initiations

Plant helper: Willow

Tarot Helper: The Tower

Holy Healing is on the agenda this week! A Heart-Clearing conversation may find you weepy but washed clean. There's a real "suck out the poison" type vibe to our work this work, so engage in that at whatever level is healthy for you. Deities like Kybele, Attis, and Asklepios are here to assist in shedding the skins that no longer serve us. Deities like Persephone, Ishtar, and Hathor are back from their Underworld Journey to remind us of who the f*ck we are.

OSTARA - SPRING EQUINOX - Wheel of the Year Series 2023

Uncover the deep history of this grand resurrection festival honoring  the returning life of the Awakening Earth and the Increasing Sun, witnessed in religions and cultures all over the world. For Pagans, this marks the return of The Maiden - a playful and curious side of The Goddess. 

The Spring Equinox has been used to mark the great eras of  time, and marks the halfway point to Summer Solstice, the apex of the Sun's powers. And the growing light matches our increasing enthusiasm!  

Learn how to gently wake up from Winter's Sleep and prepare yourself for the action and transformations this season will require from us. Discover how best to harmonize with this work for yourself and your community!

Many Pagans align rites of passage to this holiday season, honoring those who have hit a certain age or responsibility level, reached puberty, reached menopause, or other forms of maturation. 

But the work isn't done after one night! We'll take a look at what we can expect for the coming 6-8 weeks of each season, learn how you can observe this time of change for yourself or with your community, and get ready to Do The Work. 

Topics covered in the lecture, generally:

As well, we’ll discuss ways to bring this information into your personal  spiritual practice, including:

Grab a friend, a journal or some art supplies, maybe make a pot of tea and a snack, and settle in. I also encourage folks to create sacred space for themselves by lighting a candle and/or some incense. You might also include magical tools like Tarot and your natal chart. (Or just  put this on in the background while you make dinner, fold laundry, or work on a project. Make it right for you.)
