Spinning The Wheel

Summer Solstice is here! Welcome to my 2 hour class/workshop/lecture/sermon on the powerful symbolism, history and Witch's Work we find here as the Northern Hemisphere steps into Summer. We will take a deep dive into Pagan/Heathen/Animist traditions ancient and modern, as well as other spiritual and magickal traditions and what they celebrate, and how we can work with all that cultural richnes...

Another end, and another beginning. Aquarius and the first half of Imbolc are over, and we approach the New Moon, the start of Pisces, and the start of the New Lunar New Year. As we pass through this portion of the Wheel, we pass through some very important fixed stars. This collection of stars always reminds me of the Martin Luther King, Jr. quote “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it be...

This Moon is going to bring into sharp focus the compromises we are forced to make to live in Western capitalist society. In what ways have you been required to sell your dreams or your ethics when it comes to survival and physical resources? This Moon is going to help us - with discomfort - to get clearer on what we want to build in this world and what compromises we are willing to make to manife...

Whoops! A lil late with this one, so much for organized and responsible! Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Pluto all snuggled up with the Moon and Sun this week. In the broadest context this is our feelings and our sense of self/purpose, feeling in alignment with the current zeitgeist, which is of course relative to our environment. This can embolden us if we are surrounded by a bunch of like minded folks...

The straightforward symbolism of the massive protests happening this weekend against the backdrop of the Waning Moon in Libra is profound. This Moon lights up the cardinal axis in a grand cross and all at once we might feel a need to be direct and purposeful in the world for our self, our partners, our family, and our collective, while simultaneously feeling over-committed and dissatisfied with pa...

Happy New Year! Cancer Full Moon energy wants to nurture. What if we nurtured our cities? What if we treated our community like our family? What if we treated our neighborhoods like they were our sacred lands? Wealth, power, and how to keep it, is the concern of Capricorn. The commonwealth is the concern of Cancer and how we maintain society is the greatest power and indication of the trajectory o...

This week's Moon and astrology are spicy! Some difficult information may come to the surface disrupting our peace and stirring up old wounds and drama. Do what you can to find peace and posi vibes. We cross over the liminal threshold marking one year from the next - don't carry old beef into the new cycle, let that stuff rot. Notes and charts for each week's podcast are available for P...

"Tell me what will you do with your one wild and precious life?" -Mary Oliver My dear Heathens, Winter Solstice and the Big Dark are upon us. What wool shall you gather as you stare into the heart of the Abyss? What arrows are you sending into the future? What is the Light you carry in the world? Notes and charts for each week's podcast are available for Patrons at the Mercury level...

Martin Luther King, Jr.: “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” But a loving reminder, dear Heathens, it does not bend by itself. Our deeds are the force that bends it, or not. This is a great star to contemplate the arc from your foolish youth, to your present state, to whatever you might become in the future. Notes and charts for each week's podcast are availab...

The Wheel turns, and The Wheel turns. Here we go again, for the first time! Our New Moon in Aquarius always kicks off a Lunar New year, but this year, it's also in alignment with Imbolc. This is a Sabbat and season of fog, dreams, abstraction, and breaking up the old forms to make way for the new. This work can be confusing, enlightening, and destabilizing. The New Moon in Aquarius is our yearly c...

Our Witches Work this week asks us to be big-hearted and push ourselves out of our comfort zones. Can we face the painful experiences of our lives with faith? Can we find the medicine in the poison? Can we remember that after the Destruction comes Rebirth?

The dark is here. The shift in the Sun's path is undeniable as the days shorten and the weather grows darker and colder. The Cross-Quarter holiday Samhain (pronounced "sow-wain") is possibly the most well-known of the Sabbats. Americans celebrate it as Hallowe'en. Samhain is the true tipping point into The Underworld Journey of Winter. Learn how to incorporate archetypes and symbols that can somet...

This moon asks us to find something meaningful to fight for and/or to turn our swords to ploughshares. Witness the fullness of your process around your sacred warrior energy, the difference between being self-centered vs centered in Self. Where can we light lamps and curse the forces that would diminish that light? Spica and Arcturus oversee the dispensation of gifts, and the consequences of withh...

Hello Heathens. Lets ground into the energy of Autumn, Mabon, and the work presented by the eclipse New Moon. As we call in the energy of the Vine and the Grape, we must consider the Seed and the Harvest. Celestial deities like Vindemiatrix and Porrima point to the labor and the oracular voices singing in the fields. The voices come from above and below, as we observe Ancestor feeding rituals. Wit...

Wake up Witches, no more time for sleeping and drifting in the phantasms of the Empire. It's time to get to The Real. And, it's time to get in touch with our inner Sun and shine like the badasses we are. Our Primordial Mother Goddesses are standing by ready to help us birth the next world, here and now. Notes for each week's podcast are available for Patrons at the Mercury level and hi...

Witches! We are officially in the last 7 days of Gemini, Beltane, and Spring! The Waxing Half Moon is a Moon for adjustment and friction, both with an eye for progress and creation. Virgo is intense about organization, accounting, and getting our work done - but it can also go overboard with exacting critiques. The astro of this Moon…is probably gonna feel moody and surreal. This Moon is opposite...

The New Moon in Gemini is a time to engage authentic communication with the people around us. It’s a time to learn from our community, as well as be ready to share and teach our skills to others. Gemini covers the last four weeks of Spring and is focused on finishing up the work of Spring and changing into the shape(s) we need for Summer. On this New Moon think about: organized curiosity, versatil...

This portion of the lunar process, and in particular this Pisces phase can be a tough moment. We may have some experiences this week, or witness somethings in the world that really shows us the shitty side of humanity. Or in particular how the illusions of the American Dream, Capitalism, The West, the Patriarchy or Hierarchy, the Piscean Era of martyr and victim have become exhausted. A super clos...

This Full Moon in Sagittarius is an invitation to consider our results, ramifications, and reflections around: self-righteous, dogmatic, and zealous behaviors and beliefs; where we are trusting blind faith or holding onto delusions for comfort; our excessive, irresponsible, wasteful behaviors; and the problems that ripple out from all of those those beliefs and behaviors. seeking and speaking trut...

NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS - Initiating and seeding a new intellectual, focused view of the future. Spotlight on friend groups, and revolutionary, communal, progressive, group-oriented work. What is holding us back from living our most authentic life? Where are we hiding behind outdated fears and inhibitions? This week we look at Lunar Magick, astrology, fixed star myths and Holy Days that bring this wo...

Welcome back! Happy New Year, and all that. Our Witch's Work this week is guided by the New Moon in Capricorn. Are you creating and feeding structures and systems that actually support the future you want and want to pass on to future generations? Where can you initiate sustainable magickal practices that support this work? MECA is on the ground to provide Gaza with medical aid, clean water, f...

This week is a mixed bag of astrology. Helpful and stabilizing at the beginning, ominous and explosive as the week goes on. If you are feeling lost, ground into your values, and get real with yourself about where you need more education. Get real with yourself around whatever privileges you may have and how you can leverage them to help the collective. Our week also offers us an interesting collec...

What a heavy time to be alive on Earth. These moments of turmoil have been building for decades, centuries. Witches we must challenge ourselves to simultaneously not doom scroll, and also not turn away. Our astrology this week ramps up the tension. Our fixed stars this week point to where, when we have been given power or privilege, we are meant to utilize this power in the world for the bettermen...
