Ostara: When the World Begins to Wake
If you live anywhere near Ottawa, you’ve probably spent this month feeling a little whiplashed. Warm days that tease us with spring, followed by snowstorms that remind us winter isn’t done. Gentle rains that melt the world into softness, followed by ice that snaps everything back into cold. It’s been a season of mixed signals,…
Witchcraft Starts With Yourself
When Life Pulls You Away From Your Practice Do you ever feel like you should be working on your witchcraft, but life is pulling you in a hundred different directions? You want to feel connected, but the dishes are piled up, the laundry is buzzing, your phone is vibrating, and your mind is already halfway…
What Is Magick?
Magick, distinguished by its spelling, focuses on the movement of energy within the universe, contrasting with entertainment magic. It embodies intention, action, and belief, shaping outcomes through active collaboration with universal energy. Practitioners face ethical dilemmas and must remain humble, while the mysterious nature of magick invites continuous exploration and understanding.
What Is a Witch?
Claiming a Title That Has Always Been Yours In a world overflowing with connection, many people have never felt more alone. We scroll past thousands of faces, yet so many of us move through life feeling unseen, uncertain, and unsure of where we belong. For those drawn to witchcraft, that feeling can be even sharper.…
Intention IS the Witchcraft: Why Big and Small Rituals Both Matter
Witches are often encouraged to “find their path” — kitchen witch, ritual witch, folk witch, green witch, solitary practitioner, coven member, ceremonial magician, intuitive witch, hearth witch, and so on. These labels can be helpful, but they can also create the illusion that once you choose a lane, you’re meant to stay in it forever.…
Trusting Yourself: The Witch’s First and Lifelong Lesson
I’ve been thinking a lot this week about trust — not the kind we place in other people, but the kind we’re supposed to place in ourselves. And if I’m being honest, it’s the kind I’ve struggled with the most these past few days. As I mentioned in my last post, I had a rather…
A Small Delay, A Big Reminder
My friends, I want to acknowledge that I missed yesterday’s usual Monday post. A family emergency pulled me away, and while I won’t go into the details, I didn’t want to let the silence pass without a word. Thank you for your patience and understanding. What’s interesting is that this came right on the heels…
Imbolc: The Quiet Return of Light
Imbolc is often described as the first whisper of spring, but it’s more than a seasonal marker. It’s a shift in the soul — a subtle awakening that reminds us that even in the coldest months, something within us is stirring, stretching, preparing to rise. If Samhain is the descent and Yule is the stillness,…
Brigid the Healer: Fire, Wells, and the Art of Mending
As we discussed last week, Brigid is complex, with multiple aspects. We explored her as the crafter — the one who provides fertile ground for birthing new projects and creative sparks. This week, I’d like to speak to her healing aspect: the part of her that is supportive, nurturing, and profoundly human. Life is as…
Imbolc Approaches
This week we focus on Brigid as Crafter at the Forge, the aspect of fertility and new beginnings. Imbolc is a time of intention‑setting: starting a project, joining a coven, or stepping into a new chapter of life.
January’s Threshold of Renewal and Liminal Power
