Transitions are hard, aren’t they? I’ve been noticing how hard it is every year going through the transition from winter to spring, and how it feels, here where I live, we go two steps forward and three steps back over and over again. I had a glorious Sunday outside, with sunshine and nearly 70 degrees. […]

I’ve been quieter than usual because I’ve been wrestling with a burgeoning anger, and I’m not yet ready to release it. So I decided to dive right into it head-on, and discuss it openly. Sometimes there’s a satisfaction in anger. Anger is actually a step up from feelings of helplessness, powerlessness, despondency, grief, depression, etc. […]

Okay, so I was meditating, and this happened. So I just started typing and let it go. Afterward, I did some formatting, and felt moved to add the Goddess gifs by Nina Paylee. So you can see Her dancing while you read Her message. I am the Goddess. I am the Universe. I breathe. I […]

Thoughts exist. They have vibrational wavelengths. Everything that exists was once a thought. An idea. A notion. A daydream. Thoughts that […]
Discover MoreAn Imbolc Ritual I promised in my last post, IMBOLC: The Quickening, that I’d post a ritual soon. So here it is. To review, Imbolc falls on February 4th, this year. It is the ancient Celtic holiday halfway between the Winter Solstice and Vernal Equinox, and symbolizes the life stirring awake in the womb of the […]

Aside from being Groundhog’s Day, February 2nd is also the traditional date of Imbolc, or “Imbolc Brigantina” also known as St. Brigit’s Day. The actual high holy date falls precisely halfway between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal or Spring Equinox, which this year is on February 4th. Brigit or Brighid is the Celtic Goddess […]

It’s a brand new year, and BlissBlog.org is experiencing a huge growth spurt. So I thought this would be a great time for an LOA 101 post. You know, for newcomers. It’s easier to dive into a placid lake than whitewater rapids, after all. Besides, revisiting the basics is never a bad idea. So let’s […]

Mystics and sages have always known the power of the in-between. The most powerful times for magic, for example, are in-between times: dawn which is the precipice between night and day, and dusk, between day and night. Midnight is the fulcrum between today and tomorrow, noon the tipping point from morning to afternoon, and so […]
