The longest day of the year, Midsummer is the perfect time to gaze forward in time at the path you have set in motion. This is a time of balance and beauty, light and purification. Today, the time for working magick is at its peak, supported by the maturity and power of the sun! The Goddess is pregnant with life and hope for the future, her lifeblood nurturing dreams and preparing for their delivery into the world!
Traditionally celebrated at noon to harness the full power of the sun, this is a time to burn away the past and to bring light to your visions. Rituals involving mirrors, bonfires and nature are often performed and spending time at home is considered important.
This is the perfect time to think about love spells, children, play, fertility and working with elves and fairies!
Joy and passion are in the air and in the earth! |

Thousands of quotations speak to the mysteries of wisdom from that of the child’s simple and yet profound perspective to the intricate texts on ancient tablets found in temples or scrolls found beneath the seas. We crave it, seek it and explore its millions of possibilities, often settling into the words and experiences of others and discounting our own. Perhaps our own designs are flawed and otherwise incomplete when it comes to truly claiming wisdom for ourselves. But seeking it through others is only the beginning of the quest we must make if we truly desire to attain this lofty achievement. |

1. Keeping it Real. You’re going to make the first move. Go for fun and light rather than the old stinky cheese. . .Men and women are both attracted to a genuine lighthearted approach with good eye contact and an easy smile. Start conversation with something you can actually talk about! a. Compliments are good, but over-flattering is no good! What’s the balance? Keep it to one or two complimentary observations. b. Ask if you can hang around versus assuming the person you are attracted to has no other admirers already in waiting. . . c. Watch your body proximity. There is a comfort zone determined by several factors including: personal comfort and logistical comfort (noise, available space etc.). Too close too soon is too much! d. Accept the response and be prepared to walk away or to begin an enchanting conversation with the person of your dreams!
2. Protection Responsibilities. So you know there is going to be sexual intimacy. You’ve both been grooving on one another and the suggestion to “get a room” has been made and verbally accepted. Who is responsible for protection. . .? Both parties are engaging, of course, and both are inherently responsible. a. Gentlemen, pack condoms if you are planning to get lucky, and make sure the goods have not passed their expiration date! b. Ladies, if you have special requirements (latex free or other desired items), you should have them handy! c. Protection is a no brainer. Use it or unnecessarily expose yourself to whatever potential viruses and bacteria are lurking. Sometimes carriers of STDs are asymptomatic! Don’t make yourself a petri-dish!
3. Setting the Stage. Even the greatest sexual encounters can become “run of the mill” after awhile. Explore different positions, locations, toys and moods for your encounters! The Kama Sutra offers photo and video examples of positions and any adult store will have a wide range of toy selections. Most importantly, decide what you are both looking for from the encounter! a. Exploration? Spice it up with something different and at the edge of your “standard” repertoire. Add a massage or a blindfold. . . b. Romance? Light some candles, draw a bath with essential oils and create a trail of rose petals to satin sheets. c. Fiery Passion? Wear something super sexy and torment your partner with delectable foreplay until neither one of you can take another second! d. Connection? Arrange a palate of fruits, chocolates, cheeses and a delicate wine or champagne and feed one another before indulging in a couples massage.
4. Post-Coital Reporting. A close cousin to “constant reassurance,” this sometimes strange process can kill the passion created in the bedroom (or wherever. . .). a. Systematic assessment reports are cumbersome. Asking your partner how things went, if you did “ok” and if they enjoyed the experience is basically saying that you were not paying attention during the encounter. b. Room for improvement? Absolutely! Supporting your partner’s sexual desires and needs is the key to healthy sexual relationship! Depending on his/her comfort level and familiarity with his/her own body, you can certainly ask your partner to demonstrate or share things that will enhance pleasure! c. Likes and dislikes should be open for discussion! Sex is one of the most intimate activities in which couples engage. If you’re not comfortable talking to your partner about your sexual relationship, perhaps you should not be sexually active!
5. The Butterfly & The Net. Sex is only one small part of mastering seduction and understanding the nature of relationships! In the most basic sense, the woman is a butterfly and the man is the net. Seduction is an art and the roles are simple. . . a. The butterfly is: happy, sparkling and almost within reach, pausing only to gracefully gather beauty and passionately, blissfully spread its light to that it touches. b. The net is: strong, transparent, adventurous, sturdy and anchoring, seeking to capture and tame the beauty just outside its reach.
The butterfly allows itself to be captured, playing within the net and delighting in the encounter, released again to gather passion and joy and playfully darting into the net to deliver her nectar.
The net lightly pursues, chasing the passion and joy and offering a secure and warm place to land in which both butterfly and net can share the deepness of passion and the lightness of laughter.

This ancient art has made many a “plain” or even historically “unattractive” individual into an icon of beauty and desire!
What was the secret? A magick potion, of course . . .concocted of an understanding of basic communication, confidence, passion and magnetic energy!
Today the same blending of energies works to a similar end for both men and women alike. The trick is understanding yourself deeply first and the person of your desire next.

This festival celebrates the Spring, or Vernal Equinox. On this day, as the sun enters Aries (March 20th or 21st) the light and dark share equal length and as the sun sets, the new day begins with the promise of longer, warmer days. This is the time of planting seeds, sowing not only physical seeds that will ripen and blossom over the coming months, but the time for planting goals and ideas! Sacred to Eostre, Goddess of the Spring, this holiday’s decorations include white rabbits, colored eggs, and woven baskets. The white rabbit represents innocence and fertility; eggs represent new life and rebirth, and the basket is representative of the tools once needed to hunt for and gather eggs in times before one could simply purchase them at the grocery store. |

Ah, the February chill in the air and snow on the ground. . . It is the time of the maiden, of purity, fertility and renewal! In the womb of the earth (Imbolc translates as ‘in the belly’), life begins to stir. This is the time of the sacred fires, smithcraft, poetry and healing, all watched over by the Goddess Brigid. Canonized by the Catholic Church in order to gain the loyalty of the Irish to the Church, “Saint Brigit” was reintroduced to and eventually accepted by her native land as the foster mother of Jesus, and for many, Imbolc became the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary! |

I have often been asked about what I do after one of the following three questions: “Are you a good witch or a bad witch?” “Would you ever hex me?” “What is your relationship with Satan?”

Visualization is a small but important part of the process of creation. Without it, there is no way to project desire into physical manifestation. The magickal process begins with this step. A clear picture, drawn from the spark of inspiration is the start of all things! In order to properly assign the energies necessary to move forward, there are a few simple steps to follow. First, come to a clear understanding of what you want to create. |

As another year draws to a close, I once again reflect on its highs and lows and my sometimes reckless orchestration of these experiences. My creation has brought me much in the way of lessons and clarity of vision for the days to come. For the first time in many years, snow blankets the ground outside my window and the night takes on a sort of luminescence, both eerie and beautiful. Rainclouds gather in the darkness, threatening to purge the sleeping earth of its icy blanket if only for a few short hours, and the cycle of life continues. |
