Happy Halloween, Samhain, All Hallows Eve🎃

Leave a light in the window and a warm meal for those beloved dead as they pass by this season.

Leave something for the restless dead as well, outside, to appease them as well.

May all be Blessed.
May all be at Peace

As 3I/ATLAS passes behind the Sun this Samhain week, an interstellar messenger meets the heart of our solar system. The meeting, science confirms, is extraordinary.

The meaning, the ancients already knew.

This is not apocalypse. It’s awakening.
The dead return, the sky speaks, and we remember: light never travels alone.

Surrender can be a tricky word, especially for those who's very survival, acceptance, safety, and well-being are wrapped in a manipulative, submission.

What is a Ritual Circle good for, if we are just going to allow Spirit to light the way?

Why cast a spell, if my will is not The Will at the altar?

In Foundations of Ritual, we explore this dance between our Will and co-creation with Source, the Guardians, and the Elements not as competing forces, but rather the mirror through which we learnt he missing piece needed to make manifest our desire.

When I lay Circle, or call in spirit allies in a spell, I am not seeking to usurp their power and bend it towards my Will.

I come with my own Sovereignty and Authority and meet them in relationship, allowing their own Sovereignty space to work.

Together, nothing is out of reach.

No manipulation or control, no dominance or submission, just the magic that happens when bridges are made and soul meets soul.

Foundations of Ritual 101 is well underway, but will be offered again in the Spring.

Already took 101? Foundations of Ritual 102 starts this January.

See you in circle

Know Thyself.
Mary Magdalene works remind us of the power of our voice. To speak our truth. To know ourselves. To love ourselves. To go inward and see how powerful we are. Even when others don't see you or hear you.

Winter can be tough, both externally and internally. Invite in spirit, deity, ancestors, your higher self. However, you relate to the world of Other, and find support for your journey.

The year turns, the veil closes, and what we’ve tended in love endures.

Samhain reminds us that endings are beginnings in disguise.

The dead do not leave us. They change form, just as the earth does, before they return.

Gather with us beneath the dark sky.
Let us honor what is passing, and welcome what is waiting to be born.

As the nights lengthen, we remember that nothing dies, everything changes form.

Hope, love, and community are not feelings.
They are choices we make in the dark.

The fire of Samhain gives us courage to act.
The waters our ancestors crossed fill our hearts with faith to continue.

Together, we carry the light through the turning of the year.

October 23 • 7:30 PM
Join us for our final Samhain gathering in Swedesboro.

Door washes are a powerful and easy way to care for the spirit of your home.

Get rid of all the old and stagnant energy with a physical and energetic clean.

Employ the help of spirit plant allies and the energy of your moon Water to create and attract.

These powerful female elements, earth and water, are completed with the Masculine fire and air by the candle and my spoken words.

Using all 4 elements in your spell work is a great way to get things done.

Ancestral intercession honors what was and heals what will be.
It faces the lineage as a whole. The harm and the hope alike.

Deconstruction without reconstruction is only demolition.
Intercession asks us to rebuild what was broken.
In ourselves, our families, our communities.

This work belongs to the living together.
Healing is not solitary. It happens in remembrance, accountability, and shared care.

At Samhain, we honor the past and begin again.
