instructions for Wicca magic
Moon magic is one of my favorite types of magic! In this article, I’ll lay out a ritual I led for the Crow Women that revolved around some of my favorite pagan moon songs. You realize that, in addition to being a musical group, the Crow Women are a very active women’s circle, right? We …
Crow Magic was my first foray into recording with the Crow Women. Imagine my elation when our most prolific and arguably most talented songwriter Alane Crowomyn asked me to sing a lead on one of her songs. If only because of that, Farewell, My Familiar holds a special place in my heart. But it isn’t the …
By Roki the Crow Rabbit I like the Crow Women. They come over to my house and sing to me and tell me how cute I am. They never bring banana, but no one’s perfect. So, it’s with love and respect that I must tell you that they are full of pellets. I understand that …

We run into many circles and solitaries who love hearing music far more than they are comfortable making it. My own mother swears she could drag an entire church …
In the Fire is a movement song. It generates physical movement with its rhythm and spiritual movement with its message. Hindu Goddess Kali dances in the fire, and is a fearsome, dark and very popular manifestation of the Goddess in India. She destroys what is ready to be reborn, and in this way she urges …
This post is dedicated to my crowsister Donna Pauline. Remembering you, the magic and the love. -“The Other Dona” Sister Dearest, I was thinking of you and our walks along the river path. Walking, talking, sharing secrets. And singing, of course. Singing the tunes we sang with our CrowSisters. The Crow Women had developed a …
For many pagans (and nonpagans!) our homes are our sanctuaries. They are where we spend of much our mundane life, as well as where we nurture our physical, emotional and spiritual selves.
