Witchy Woman Walking

The way we walk through the world matters. Far too often, we move through our days feeling unworthy of taking up space. We feel the need to apologize for our presence rather than stepping into the brilliance that our souls yearn to express. So how to we connect with something deeper? We must choose to tap into our divine presence; the force that knows the true value of our souls. When we walk in this light, we lead with power and presence beyond measure. As we listen to the raindrops fall, re...

Who is the face in the mirror? Beyond the facial features and the various masks we wear, what is real underneath it all? We spend a great deal of time analyzing our reflections, but we rarely look deeply enough to uncover the authentic self within. If you took the time to gaze into your own eyes, without breaking contact, what would they tell you? When there was no one around to impress, what secrets would they reveal? A mirror, a dimly lit room, and a candle for illumination is all you need ...

Anxiety has a way of creeping up on us. Sometimes the source of our unease is easy to pinpoint, while others times it seems to bubble up without cause. The natural tendency is to push away the anxious thoughts or deny they exist at all. Unfortunately, this rarely helps matters; in fact, it often makes things much worse. But what if we were able to face our anxiety head on? And what if we could use our spiritual practice as an additional tool to support ourselves through these anxious periods?...

Most of us can recall a time when we did something purely to please someone else. Maybe the action didn't sit well in our gut, but we did it anyway to avoid conflict or rejection. This desire to please others is hardwired into our survival instincts. When we make others happy, we're less likely to be cast out of the herd. This behavior makes sense, but when it becomes excessive we risk emotional and physical burnout. So how can we tell when our behavior is genuinely kind and helpful versus pe...

There are many reasons to feel uneasy these days. Most of us are walking around with frazzled nervous systems that we don’t know how to soothe. Stress and anxiety have become so commonplace that we don’t even realize how off kilter we are on a daily basis. Thankfully, there are many ways to calm our bodies if we’re willing to pay attention. Tending to our nervous systems is not frivolous, it’s critical work if we want to show up fully to our lives each day. Take a breath, find a pen and paper...

In the past couple of generations, there’s been a lot of talk about finding one’s passion. Many people find themselves dissatisfied with their work because it doesn’t feel passionate enough. This begs the question, should our choice of vocation be fueled by practicality, passion, or calling? What even is a calling? And do we all have one? In today’s conversation, we’ll endeavor to define the differences between what lights a person up and what provides a deeper service. We’ll explore one’s mo...

Our world is full of light and dark. There are times when it feels like the darkness is threatening to overtake. One only needs to glance at the daily news to determine that humans are capable of unimaginable cruelty. It can be hard to believe in the power of love when so much hate persists. So what do we do? How do we hold onto hope and faith in humanity when the rage burns so intensely? This is a question we must all ponder for ourselves. Resistance can take many forms. As we sit by the fir...

The Year of the Snake is coming to a close. This is the perfect time to shed that outgrown skin. We must let go of the old, heavy energy holding us back if we’re going to meet the fast-moving energy that the Year of the Horse is bound to bring. One of the greatest drains on our energy comes from comparing ourselves to others. Every time we measure our worth against someone else, we snuff out our own light. It’s time to stop worrying about what they’re doing and start taking an interest in you...

Many of us were relieved to leave the heavy energy of 2025 in the rearview mirror. The desire to return to the "good old days" was experienced by more than a few people. But is a return to the past likely for 2026? No one knows what this next cycle will bring, but there's astrological indication that we may be looking toward sweeping change. As Neptune and Saturn move into Aries, we have the potential for massive shifts on a societal level; long held systems may begin to dissolve. So what do ...

After weeks of buildup and anticipation, Christmas and Yule have now passed. Whether your holiday was joyous or challenging, you’ll likely be experiencing a let-down after the outpouring of holiday energy. There’s a great temptation to dive headfirst into the new year without taking time to pause… but pause we must. Nature shows us that January is not the time to push and bloom, it’s the time to rest and plan. Before taking action, follow nature’s lead and lay dormant for a little while. Allo...

Do you ever find yourself fighting against the moment? Sometimes the season we’re in is not the one we would choose for ourselves. This can be especially difficult during the holidays, a time when we just want things to feel easy and merry. It’s tempting to create an illusion, rather than looking at the moment for what it truly is. But what if laying bare the truth will actually set us free? Instead of wasting energy on conjuring a false reality this holiday, perhaps we can simply let it be… ...

The holiday season is officially in full swing! This is the time of year when traditions really take center stage. But before embarking on the usual holidays customs, consider if these rituals still align with who you are today. Do holiday traditions bring you comfort and joy? Or are there traditions that feel restrictive and oppressive? What are you eager to carry forward and what would you rather leave in the past? This season, embrace the traditions that feed your holiday spirit, and give ...

It feels like just a moment ago that we were ushering in Samhain, and now Christmas and Yule are a mere 6 weeks away. For some, this time of year is steeped in excitement and gratitude, for others it’s cloaked with stress and anxiety. What if we could shape our holiday narrative by acknowledging what really matters to us this season? Rather than getting caught up in the traditions and expectations of years passed, what if we first asked ourselves, “What has this past year been like for me?”. ...
