Starcat’s Favorites: High and Low All at Once
I know I’ve referred to one of Quester’s favorite quotes here before, more than once. It’s by the band Moe, and goes “it’s high and low all at once, not one or the other.” This month has been one of those times when the quote comes in handy. We lost two dear people from our…

Starcat’s Favorites: Books and Bookstores
Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Yes, that’s really a thing. Today’s a wonderful day to visit your favorite local bookstore. I thought I’d kick off the festivities by sharing photos of my “to be read” and “currently reading” piles. The shorter pile is what I’m currently reading (or re-reading, in the case of Women Who Run…

Why YOUR Story Matters
To doubt oneself is a common experience in our modern culture. So many of us have a story to tell or a tale to craft, yet wonder whether or not our experience is unique or profound enough to share. We don’t fully trust our imagination, or the impulses that urge us to create. If you…

Starcat’s Favorites: My Community
I’ve had kind of a struggly winter, blah blah blah. Who hasn’t? I hope you haven’t, actually. But the cool thing is that I have such a vibrant and supportive community. I’m so thankful. I’ve surrounded myself with some extremely excellent folks. This wasn’t always the case. I’ve been blessed with an amazing and close…

Opening Pandora’s Treasure Box
It feels like writing about the Law of Attraction means opening up Pandora’s mythical box. On the one hand, there’s so much treasure in there, and it has helped me to vastly expand and improve my life. On the other hand, there are many misconceptions about the philosophy and its validity. So of course BlackLion…

Starcat’s Ten Best Books of 2018
Hey there, bibliophiles! Before January is over (how did this month fly by so fast?!), it’s time to share my ten favorite reads from last year. In preparing this post, I noticed that I apparently didn’t create a “best books” post last January. Huh. I know I read some great books in 2017. Maybe I…

Starcat’s Favorites: Transformation

by
We’re already almost finished with the first month of 2019, but I’m finding that I’m still processing 2018. Can you relate? It was a hugely transformational year for me and my family. We became empty-nesters. Quester broke his ankle, badly, and had to have (not one but two) surgeries. BlackLion got a new job outside…

Starcat’s Favorites: Sun & Water
It’s no secret that I love summer. This one has been especially hot and humid here in Maine. Most people I know have spent time complaining about it. Not me. It’s actually a joy to me to feel super warm. I know, I’m strange. After a rough winter and spring, though, this summer has been…

Starcat’s Favorites: Wake Me Up…
It’s hard for me to believe that summer is coming to an end. This is an especially poignant time, as my beloved daughter ElvenTiger is moving to Colorado in less than two weeks (on the day before my birthday, as it happens). I’m so thrilled for her, to be launching herself into adulthood in such…

Unpacking Those Old Patterns
I know I’ve written about this before, but March is my least favorite month. I’m very prone to the March blues. That’s a story I’ve been telling myself for a long, long time. This year has been no exception. It hasn’t been fun. Knowing what I do about magick and the Law of Attraction, it…
