Submito Silentium This was not the post we thought to write. It is not the post we want to write. It is, however, the post we felt we needed to write. On February 11, 2022, Spiral Rhythm lost part of its soul when our beloved PJ Seale passed through the veil. She had been doing …
Just recently, we saw a lovely full Moon in Virgo, with the Sun in Pisces. Yes, I know, pre-Eostara. However, that ties into other things going on which are pretty big this period. As you can see in the chart, Neptune and Jupiter are running very close together. In fact, by April 12th, they are …
Microseconds following the Big Bang (approximately 14 Billion years ago)… the Cosmic Fireball expands, inflates, creating waves and ripples… they persist over eons of time, becoming Fields and Particles… and galaxies, and stars, and planets, and… Us? and Magic? Can what we know from Ritual and Ceremony be compatible with the story told by Science? …
By any other name…. The word as defined from Oxford Languages is “a man who practices witchcraft: a sorcerer”. Given my own specialized past, I will state here that any form of the Goddess who finds themselves resounding with this name is completely entitled to it. While I will refer to Warlock in the masculine …
As the light starts to noticeably return I start to think of spring and what I want to grow in this year’s garden. To get further into the mood as I pull out my seed catalogs and ooh and ahh over the beautiful pictures of vegetables, fruits and flowers, I often listen to Lisa Thiel’s …
Wow, this blog has now been alive and growing for 3 years! It’s time to celebrate our birthday with our annual year-in-review post. (My reflection on year one is here and year two is here.) We started Pagan Song in February of 2019. We’ve now published a total of 188 posts by 21 authors. That’s …
The last couple of years of COVID-19, social distancing, career pivots, and cancellations has been hard on live performers. Even career artists are feeling pretty rusty as they step back onto the stage. It’s a good time to remind ourselves of our strategies for showing up at our best as performers. Here are ten tips …
The days are getting longer. Depending on where you live, the first little green shoots might be poking up. It’s time to celebrate Imbolc! I’m musing about the many Imbolcs our coven has celebrated, in many different conditions. They are priestessed by the out-going Maiden, Mother, and Crone priestesses. (I wrote about the Crows’ priestess …
Imbolc (also know as Candlemas) this year astrologically is on February 3, 2022, 1:50:36 PM, MST. As usual, the observance does not directly connect to the placement of anything in the sky. But then, our ancestors, I suppose, did not bother with such things. Midpoints between solstices and equinoxes may have been a bit “whatever” …
This is the fourth and final episode of my self-care series for pagans. We’ve been around the Wheel of the Year now, with Aphrodite at our side, and a specially crafted playlist of music to move to each season. We began in spring, with Aphrodite Rising: Spring Fever. The wheel turned, and I gave you …
