A Hot Date With Yourself

Published by on July 13, 2019 | Leave a response

  As a creative being, which I know you are, it’s essential to keep the wellspring of your creativity clear and flowing. The best way I know of to do that is to take yourself on a hot artist date. Not once a year, but regularly. I first heard of this idea in Julia Cameron’s […]

The Creative Power of the Sea

Published by on May 2, 2019 | Leave a response

Going to the beach regularly makes me a better writer – a better person, even. After a visit to the ocean, I feel calmer (thank you, negative ions), more focused, and extra inspired. I’m blessed to live in a spot in Maine where a trip to the ocean takes less than 30 minutes. It’s a […]

Water Priestess in Winter

Water Priestess in Winter

Published by on February 19, 2019 | Leave a response

First let me say that I love living in Maine. I adore the summer, the beaches, the lakes, the forests, the autumn, the mountains, cool people, spring flowers, and yes, even the snow. Mostly. As a Pagan priestess and a hippie chick, Earth-based spirituality is the way I live. I enjoy the turn of the […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Summertime, Summertime

Published by on July 5, 2018 | Leave a response

As I write this, it’s less than two weeks until my daughter and her boyfriend come home for a visit. I haven’t seen my dear ElvenTiger since January, so I’m very much looking forward to it! Although I’ve been missing her, summer has been lots of fun so far. I’ve been swimming a lot, spending […]

Starcat’s Favorites: A Taste of Spring

Published by on March 31, 2018 | Leave a response

This is how we roll in springtime in Maine. Snow and new growth, co-existing until one day the melting accelerates. As I write this, the rain is helping with the melting process. It’s also the eve of the Full Blue Moon, and nearly the end of March (can I get a resounding “huzzah!”?). It’s been […]

Weaving the Cord

Published by on February 1, 2018 | Leave a response

I’ve been having some fantastic in-depth metaphysical conversations lately – it must be the time of year. Winter seems to hold more space for slowing down and going deeper. BlackLion and I are leading a series of calls over at Good Vibe University called “All Things Woo-Woo.” On yesterday’s call, we were talking about spellcasting. […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Greeting a New Year

Published by on January 6, 2018 | Leave a response

I remember when I used to hate winter. I don’t so much, anymore. Granted, the cold, ice, wind, and snow are not my favorite things to be out and about in. But the landscape certainly is beautiful, and I like slowing down during this time of year and going into my creative cave. Thankfully, I’ve […]

Play Powers Creativity

Published by on July 20, 2017 | Leave a response

In the society we live in, it can be tempting to take things oh-so-seriously. I mean, that’s what the news media (and the advertising embedded within it) is all about. It’s jam-packed with fear, things going wrong, and how to plan for the worst case scenario. It’s based on doing The Right Thing and following the […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Quiet Time

Published by on December 31, 2016 | Leave a response

Ah, Winter… I like you more than I used to, dear Winter. I like the quiet lull after the Winter Solstice, when the wind and snow comes and all is swathed in drifts. I enjoy the opportunity to dive deep into visioning what I want the New Year to be, for me. I like the […]

It’s That Time of Year

Published by on November 2, 2016 | Leave a response

I woke up this morning with no blankets, and one tiny corner of the bed where I was squished to the edge of the mattress. Why? Snuggling dogs. We have two medium-sized dogs, who somehow become Great Big Giant Bed-Stealing Canines when the weather gets cooler. Still, they’re so cute – who could kick them […]
