Happy Samhain!

Happy Samhain, dear ones. The veil is thin. Use that opportunity well. And have a magickal New Year!

On the craft of magick in social activism

Christopher Penczak, author and
co-founder of New Hampshire-based Temple of Witchcraft

I have learned so much this morning from these leaders in the neopagan movement--including Christopher Penczak, whose work I've long admired, and Gwion Raven, a West Coast witch and priestess who is new to me. So many smart, talented, committed people are speaking out in this way, thinking globally, locally and, most of all, forward about magick as an awareness, orientation and philosophy that can and must infuse social justice action.

Please visit the link below at Intersections. Read, enjoy and work with the questions posed and wisdom offered.

Bright blessings,
Eva

Winter Solstice: Have a joyous season of light!

Here comes the sun, and I say 

It's all right...

Abundant blessings to you and yours in
this season of returning light.

Pillars of Her Traditions

I'm proud of my old friend and Tarot student--Adrianne Cumberbatch--who, through many years of work and devotion, has seen her dream come true. An inspiration!

Happy Winter Solstice!

Here comes the sun, and I say 

It's all right...

Happy Samhain!

To my pagan kin, Happy Samhain!

To everyone else, Happy Halloween!

Happy Imbolc -- Brigid's Day!

I know it sure doesn't look like it now, but Spring is out there--somewhere--on its way to us. I wish you a happy Imbolc and warm intimations of Spring and all of its joys.
