Weaving Your Own Web
I just finished reading Web of Life: Guidance for Your Life Journey by Yvonne Ryves. It’s part of a series of volumes called Shaman Pathways. The book is described as providing “information, guidance and exercises to help readers find ways to connect with the web of life and weave their path within it.” It certainly…

Ah, November…
I’m so glad that November has arrived. That’s not something I would normally say. I’m a summer girl, and I also love early fall, but when the skies get really grey and the days are so short, that’s not necessarily when I’m in my element. But it is this year. August was busy, as it…

Starcat’s Favorites: Busy Caregiver

Please note, this is a very basic quiz, just to get you started – there are lots of other archetypes beyond the…

I’m growing more each day, and my life is becoming more joyful. My creativity is soaring. My relationships are fun. Even the sad and…

Um, Wanna Buy a Book?
I’ve had some really excellent initial feedback about my book, Starcat’s Corner: Essays on Pagan Living. It came out last month. I was really excited for the release, and then my energy just seemed to sort of stall. You see, I’m facing a steep learning curve. In the publishing world, and particularly with small to…

Deep Winter at the Homestead
Ah, winter. The snow is pretty and the days are getting perceptibly longer. But I don’t like this time of year. It’s cold and wet out. Lots of folks are getting sick. The driving can be awful. I want to hibernate. As much as I appreciate the variety of the seasons, winter is just not…

Starcat’s Favorites: Oh the Irony
My previous post was all about health and wanting to improve mine, and how I’m rarely ill. Well, the Universe was determined to be a trickster about those statements! That very evening, I got sick with a virus of some sort. It started with a sore throat and soon moved to tiredness, a runny nose,…

So It Begins
Blessings of the season to you! The first of November brings me to a time of year when I dive deeper into my soul work and focus on a conscious re-alignment to my inner self. I release habits I no longer wish to have and choose new practices to encourage. It is a time to…
