The other day while cleaning I came across one of Jasmine's journals. I've found several and like me at her age, Jasmine was fond of writing one or two entries in one journal and then getting another one. For me, I felt vaguely guilty about not keeping up with the daily writing I wanted to … Continue reading Warning Sign

Questions and Exercises from “Tarot for Yourself” Chapter 1
I started to study this book back in 2001 and the first half has lots of notes. This year I'll finish it. The Tarot Profile I posted earlier today largely comes from this book, though I did a lot of supplementing with Angeles Arrien's "The Tarot Handbook". So following are exercises and meditation notes from … Continue reading Questions and Exercises from “Tarot for Yourself” Chapter 1
Ruminations on Chapter 1 of “Tarot Shadow Work”
I am studying Christine Jette's "Tarot Shadow Work" this year less as an outward study and more as an inward study. I figure with so much shadowy stuff going on this year, it would be good to review with tarot. It fits in with that work, even if it's not necessarily about skill. The way … Continue reading Ruminations on Chapter 1 of “Tarot Shadow Work”

Two Things in the Morning
Two things I want to write about this morning. First, I had a dream about my uncle and Jasmine. At first my dream seemed to be about Jeff and I. We were arguing because he had made plans for Sunday without talking to me. I said, "You've done it again! I asked you the last … Continue reading Two Things in the Morning
Like the Rain
I'm missing Jasmine today. I found the bottle of rosemary essential oil we used to anoint her body prior to cremation and opened it to smell. Instantly I saw her small, cold little body in the parlor of the crematorium -- the last time I ever saw her whole. Rosemary used to be a scent … Continue reading Like the Rain
Enid’s Moon
Information on Enid can be found here: http://www.prairiefirecoven.org/aprmoon04.html Last night's moon ritual was really a huge step for our coven. I wish MarshAster and Barleycorn could have been there. It was a moon ritual, and very much in keeping with our theme, but we did individual work for each of us, working on the challenges … Continue reading Enid’s Moon
Meltdown
I have been avoiding my diary this weekend. Not sure why, but last night Jeff finally gave me The Look after again checking my diary to see if there was an update. "What do you care? You never leave any comments anyway!" The best offense is a good defense, I always say. "Why should I … Continue reading Meltdown
I Need A Schedule!
It has become clear to me that I need to include my spiritual stuff in my calendar or else I will keep putting it off. So the books that are part of my self-study? I just entered them into my calendar. It will go something like this: Monday: Witch Crafting Tuesday: Inner Temple of Witchcraft … Continue reading I Need A Schedule!
Springtime Ruminations
My lawn turned green in a matter of minutes this week and all the trees and bushes are either full of buds or full of those tiny, spring-green new leaves. I love springtime in the Midwest. Today I stood outside with Nina and showed her the new leaves. She grinned a delighted little grin and … Continue reading Springtime Ruminations
