Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! It's time to think about the next planet to go retrograde which is Pluto! Pluto will be retrograde for about 5 months from 6th May to 16th October in the sign of Aquarius. Pluto is an outer planet, which means that its influence is less obvious and more internal within our communities (even on a global scale). It is the planet of transformation, change, evolution and personal power. Aquarius is the sign of the rebel, of bringin

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! I know I wrote about Bodily Autonomy as a twin flame last week, but I feel like Respect is tied into this and wanted it to have its own post. This is inspired by the Money As My Twin Flame workshop hosted by That Witch Karena At The Witch's Inn and the post I wrote about my experience. So here's what I explored about Respect as my twin flame: What would a better relationship with Respect do for me? Ace of Hearts When I first

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! It's time to look back on the first three calendar months of 2026: January, February and March. This is from the Prophecy 2026: Becoming the Seer workshop hosted by Emily of Wise Woman Witchery for her Diving Deeper members. During this workshop, I pulled cards for each month based on the energy of that month and then the resources that would be available to me. I used the Lord of the Rings tarot deck by Tomas Hijo. Energy for

Merry Met and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! I experienced something recently that inspired me to continue with a "series" of posts that were initially inspired (and hosted) by That Witch Karena At The Witch's Inn. The series is all about different things as a twin flame to me. Twin flames are usually described as two people sharing the same spirit or soul-flame which was split when one was born. This couple usually act as reflections of each other's deepest traumas, vulne

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! Just a couple of weeks ago on 13th and 14th March, I attended another virtual conference hosted by Wise Woman Witchery. It was The Cauldron of Wisdom: Tarot Edition. By the title, it was all about tarot, how to read the cards, different spreads and how to apply them to doing readings. There were nine live workshops across the two days, and anyone who paid to have lifetime access to the replays also received: six workshops, disc

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! It's almost time for Ostara, which is another name for the Spring, or Vernal, Equinox. This event typically happens around 20th March, perhaps even celebrated for three days but how long you want to celebrate for is up to you. This is the mid-point between Imbolc and Beltane, as well as the mid-point between Yule and Litha (the Winter and Summer Solstices). This is one two times where light and darkness are equal and balanced.

Merry Meet and welcome to you magickal souls!!!! It's time for my final post about the "Be A Goddess" book by Francesca De Grandis. This will cover the entire book rather than each Lesson/chapter individually. This was a rather interesting book, something I wasn't sure I would enjoy with the heavy leaning towards Wicca. I'm not anti-religion but it just doesn't sit right within me, and that's okay. Anyway, I did my best to set aside my feelings around Wicca and managed to hav

Merry Meet and welcome to you magickal souls!!!! It's time to share my thoughts about the final Lesson within "Be A Goddess" by Francesca De Grandis. This Lesson was titled "Merry Meet and Merry Part" and it was all about saying goodbye without it being permanent. This was like the final comments within an essay, recapping everything but in a way that wasn't too much. It was also peppered with examples from Francesca's own clients of what had worked for different people, who

Merry Meet and welcome to you magickal souls!!!! It's time to share my thoughts on the Fourteenth Lesson from Francesca De Grandis' book, "Be A Goddess" which is titled "Everywhere You Go, There Is Power to Be Had". According to Francesca, the goal of a Witch is to control all of their situations. Apparently, this is because true power and control is cooperative in the sense that everyone and everything helps everyone (and everything) else. Power and control are mutual but no

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! It's time for the first retrograde of 2026 and, of course, it would be Mercury that kicks things off. This retrograde will last from 26th February until 20th March, so we'll be able to start the new astrological year without the main retrograde influence. A lot of people have some trepidation when Mercury goes retrograde and will go on to blame everything that goes wrong on Mercury being retrograde. This is likely due to people

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! It's time to write about my experiences and thoughts while reading Lesson Thirteen: A Cup of Love. It really was all about how love (and sex) are at the heart of creation and therefore at the centre of life. There are some things I disagree with as I am asexual and don't really feel sexually attracted to anyone very often. The act of sex serves a purpose but isn't a fundamental part of what I look for in a relationship. Anyway,

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! It's time to review Francesca De Grandis' "Be A Goddess" book, specifically Lesson Twelve which is titled: Healthy Spirituality Means Striving for the Good Things in Life. It started off with acknowledging that at least some of us are taught that we aren't supposed to care about ourselves or the material things in life. That it's bad to want nice things for ourselves. That we are supposed to transcend the material realm. The pr

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! It's time to start thinking about Imbolc! This is believed by some to be a modern celebration brought in by Neo-Pagans but it is based on an ancient Celtic festival that was documented within early medieval Irish literature from 10th Century. Imbolc is seen as the first of the four Celtic fire festivals within the Wheel of the Year. It is the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It might be better known

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! It's time for this year's Prophecy: Becoming the Seer series. For anyone who hasn't seen the last couple of years, I attend a workshop in late December run by Wise Woman Witchery's Emily Morrison. During this workshop, she leads the group through a tarot reading for the whole of thhe year ahead as well as looking back on the past year. I break my experience down into five parts: the first looking at the review of 2025, then fou

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! So at the end of November, I attended what has become a yearly "ritual" where That Witch Karena at the Witch's Inn hosts a workshop to see what visions I might have for the next year and how I might achieve those visions. This is always a deep experience that I usually need to take a day or two to recover from but this year it was so much deeper than even I expected that I ended up taking a couple of weeks instead. However, it

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! It's time to look back on the last three months of 2025 as well as the overal energy of the year. This will be the final review of this year before I start the next one for 2026. October's Energy Crocodile & Octopus These cards are both associated with the element of Water which was really interesting as it was quite the emotional month. When I first pulled the Crocodile card, I thought of a danger that was hidden, present, and

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!! I'm sorry I've been so absent but I needed a break after everything that October held for me. But now I'm back and what better way than to continue with the Be A Goddess book/course by Francesca De Grandis? This Lesson is titled The Ethics & Laws of Wicca. While I admit that after my own research Wicca is not the religion for me, I still have respect for it and so I went through this Lesson with my eyes and heart open. I did lo
