Faeries and brownies and sprites–oh my!

Here’s a discussion on our friends, the little people.  You know, those small blurs you see out of the corner of your eye and when you turn to look, they’re gone?  Or that feeling that somebody’s watching you?  That tingle at the back of your neck?  Those mysterious things that go bump in the night?  [...]

A word about bellydance attire

Rather than focus on a particular bellydance move today, I’d like to talk a little about those wonderfully gaudy costumes we get to wear.  This is just another asset of bellydance, in addition to all those sensuous movements it entails.  Call me girly, call me superficial or whatever, but most exercises that women do require [...]

Finally . . . a Bright-stave!

Okay, everybody, I finally got one!  Today’s rune-stone is a Bright-stave Thurisaz, which indicates reactive and directed forces, vital eroticism (yeah!), and regenerative catalysts.  Again, while I don’t use the runes for personal readings, it’s just encouraging to know that I’m not, in fact, jinxed and forever destined to pick only Murk-staves.  But there is [...]

My soul is in torment . . .

This is enough to make me want to give Tarot cards a break for awhile, at least until the negativity clears up.  Today’s card was the 5 of Cups, which is ba-a-a-add.  Especially considering my current, extremely bizarre love situation, which I can’t even possibly begin to explain.  (Though I may make an attempt to [...]

Those damn murk-staves!

No wonder I choose not to use rune-stones for my own personal readings.  For one thing, I’m still more or less learning how to interpret them, and for another, I very rarely pick a Bright-stave rune.  At this point I’m still using rune-casting as more of a divination study tool more than anything else.  Anyway, [...]

Bellydance corresponds with Tarot–who k …

Getting out in nature is obviously great, especially on a beautiful day such as this one promises to be. But there’s always my indoor exercise to tend to before I partake of the outdoor variety. This, of course, is bellydance. Strangely (and wonderfully) enough, I have found that there is a particular [...]

Today’s Tarot reading . . .

Greetings, everyone, and welcome to the start of a new week!  In keeping with that, I have done my Celtic Cross spread, which gives me guidance and insight into what the coming week will possibly hold.  I have to admit, it was a bit cryptic, but in cases like that, I always consult my oracle [...]

The joys of bellydance

Ah, bellydance . . . whatever would I have done had I not discovered this wonderfully sexy and sensual form of exercise? I have been studying this dance form for seven years, and am still discovering new moves. So in this blog I would like to highly recommend several DVDs on bellydance instruction. [...]

A discussion about runes

Rune-casting is another great form of divination, though in my opinion, a bit more tricky, especially in the choices of layout.  However, I absolutely love my own personal rune-stone collection–the stones are made of a mixture of tumbled amethyst and clear quartz, and as most magickal practitioners know, amethyst is the best stone for divination [...]

A mini Tarot tutorial

First of all, my method for doing Tarot readings is to, at the beginning of each week, do a Celtic Cross spread to find out the big picture about what the week holds in store. I love this particular spread because it more or less follows a time line of past, present and future. [...]
