Mother Earth, the Crone & the Angels Full Moon, October 8th, 2014 Hello dear ones ~ A power dream came to me recently – the kind of dream that you know has deep meaning and significance. I dreamed that the Earth was rising and expanding. As the thick mass rapidly inflated we had to scramble up and out in order to not be suffocated and consumed. I made it, but many did not. Those of us who survived were refugees in a world above. As I realized what I had lost, a wail began to well up from the deepest place in my being I had ever known. As it rose […]

White Buffalo Calf Woman brought the Peace Pipe to the tribal nations. She spoke of a time of healing and Unity when All Nations of the Medicine Wheel would be reunited in respect – the black, red, yellow and white in harmony – and the building of the Rainbow Bridge which is an inclusive symbol of All people in beauty and equality.

On September 1, 2014 / Activism, Priestess Stories / Leave a comment

Walking to South Dakota Why Women Should Fund this Effort (and get men to fund it, too) We are headed to South Dakota in just 2 weeks time with three generations of spiritual activists inspirationally driven by Bethany and Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul and Mary), the incomparable Nahko Bear, and Earth Guardians – a duo of Aztec brothers who at the young ages of 14 and 11 have devoted their lives to protecting Mother Earth. They will be joined by legends Arlo Guthrie and Buffy Sainte Marie with a bevy of Native American artists spanning the tribal nations including Lakota, Navajo, Cree and Apache. At their sides will be international artists […]

Own it, sister!

Full Moon in Sagitarius Dearest sisters, Are you feeling the Shakti? This full moon, as the summer solstice approaches, I am feeling the fertile, rich ground of the Earth and of our human hearts. My dreams are full of shape-shifting animals and humans. Whales, large cats, bears, bunnies, monkeys – all of Nature is showing up to play. The energy is full of Shakti, raw potential. And I feel the truth of my favorite Sofia Diaz quote: “The human heart has the light of 10,000 suns.” Take a moment and spread your arms wide. Feel your heart. What lives in your heart, right now? Let the feeling in your heart ripple […]

Full Flower Moon & Lunar Beltane

On May 13, 2014 / Moon Mysteries, Priestess Stories, Rituals & Practices, Wheel of the Year / Leave a comment

Full Flower Moon Feasting on the Fruits of Beltane! “Rise women! Rise sacred feminine! I am not afraid. I welcome you. I am at your service.“ – the Divine Masculine The healing of the masculine and the feminine is the work of our time. Last weekend, we embarked on our Medicine Path of the Priestess Women’s Beltane Retreat fully aware of the enormity of our undertaking. We knew the intentions we were working with would stir us deeply. As women, we have immense trauma from our experience with men, both from this lifetime, and in our collective memory of thousands of years of patriarchal persecution. As a community of women, we […]

The Goddess and Her Consort

RAPTURE – The Goddess and Her Consort – On this deep dark moon, there are whispers of excitement all around. The flowers dance in anticipation. The green shoots rise up, alert and expectant. The water bubbles and the faeries delight in the joy of what is to come. It is Beltane. It is the celebration of Life. The Goddess opens to Her Consort. The fertile Earth jubilantly receives the warmth of the Sun. The Divine Feminine joins together with the Divine Masculine in the Spirit of Creation, and consciousness is born. It is this union that creates the magic of new life. It is this alchemical union that ensures the growth […]

The Dance of the Masculine & Feminine with the Blood Moon Eclipse Full Moon Greetings! Tonight we experience the Blood Moon. The Earth will align directly in between the Sun and the Moon, causing a total lunar eclipse. The fiery Mars right next to the Moon will bring his fierce red glow to the night sky, adding his strong masculine energy to the picture. And we journey into the season of Beltane – the celebration of love, fertility, and sexuality. The Dance of the Masculine and Feminine. Mmmmmm… Sounds fun, doesn’t it?! In the Goddess traditions, the ritual of sacred sexuality blessed the fertility of the land and the health and […]

Passionate About Water

On March 30, 2014 / Priestess Stories / Leave a comment

Passionate About Water In August of 2012, a core group of sisters gathered at a sacred waterfall to honor the Feast of Saint Claire who brings the clarifying rain. We were unexpectedly blessed by an overlapping group of Water Warriors holding council with a Native Elder for guidance. How do we best carry out the message of how our Waters are being directly threatened? How do we help those without access to clean water? How do we protect the waters that may be at risk? It was in this synchronistic meeting between our women’s group and these activists that we were educated about the state of our water in practical terms […]

Brigid’s Cloak: Beyond the Threshold of Imbolc

On March 29, 2014 / Priestess Stories / Leave a comment

WORLD WATER DAY BONUS… Brigid’s Cloak: beyond the Threshold of Imbolc On Saturday afternoon, I walked in the Meriden, CT St. Patrick’s Day Parade with the help of the Ladies’ Ancient Order of Hibernians, Irish organization, as Brigid. It was the first time the Fire Goddess and Saint had been represented in the flesh in Meriden’s 41 year history of celebrating. I was deeply honored to walk, leading the parade with St. Patrick, waving to the crowds gathered by the roadside. Of course, it’s all quite dubious from the Goddess’ perspective – walking side by side with an Englishman who bears the title of Ireland’s most celebrated Saint who quite possibly […]

Sacred Flow of the Waters…Let Go Full Moon of the Equinox Dear ones ~ This glorious Full Moon heralds the Spring Equinox and World Water Day (March 22nd). And She has guided me into an intense wave of Purification and Spring Cleaning. “Sacred flow of the waters…let go. Weaving our Love. Surrender, release, purify, go deep, Weaving our Love.” I find myself clearing out the cobwebs of the corners of my home and heart. As I gather bags of “stuff” to give away, I am also clearing away the energetic blocks and residue from my being – the last vestiges of Winter – creating SPACE for the Springtime flow. At our […]
