I wrote Warrior Woman in January 2017 to go with a women’s empowerment ritual that I would priestess, part of my emotional response to the pending inauguration of Donald Trump as president. As it turned out, the huge Women’s March in Washington D.C. and many other places the day after the inauguration echoed the sentiment …

Ah spring, the time when everything seems new and possibilities are endless. Spring has always been my favorite time of year, with the summer stretching out in front of me, and all the plans…all the stuff I’m going to do and get done! As I sit here now, looking at several feet of snow on …
It’s finally my favorite time of year and the only time you humans really pay attention to rabbits. And you will pay attention. I recognize your favorite bra, and I will find it in the laundry and chew it to smithereens if you don’t. Ostara, or Spring Equinox is the holiest of holy-days here in rabbit world, …

Unlike in factory farms where lights keep the hens laying year round, my chickens take a break around winter solstice and don’t really start …
The Crow Women have been in the recording studio on and off for the past 10 months, working on our upcoming new album. Our previous CD, Crow Magic, was released in the summer of 2012. It had two main themes. One was rites of passage, including songs for baby blessings, coming of age, handfasting, croning …
I have a small drawer where I keep Crow Women-related papers and other items. In early 2018, it was getting way too full and needed to be cleaned out. There were a lot of song words that I already had multiple copies of. So most of those went to recycling. But I also found a …
I was just my mother’s daughter. You may think that being the daughter of a goddess is all frolicking and flower picking and ambrosia and harps. Okay, it is all that.

In hopes that you, dear reader, may be inspired to incorporate this song into some of your ritual work, I am sharing some thoughts about how that may be accomplished. It would honor the Crow Women greatly to know that others in the Pagan and Wiccan community find our music inspiring and useful. First, please …
I wrote the song that is the opening track on the Crow Women’s second album, Crow Magic. It’s titled The Law of Three. It’s a little chant with a big message: The Law of Three says what I give out, then, the world gives back and the world gives back and the world gives back …
