Allowing the Flow of Life
I had a really big year of change in 2017. I know, I know – we all did, really. On global, national, regional, community, and personal levels. It’s been crazy! Change is the only constant, as the saying goes. But, seriously. It was intense. I have a friend who is an astrologer, and he predicted…

Starcat’s Favorites: Transformation and Witchery
Wow. What an autumn it’s been so far. I’ve been undergoing a huge transformation – which seems to be a theme for many of us, lately. I like to think that the Universe is helping us spiritually-focused types to “level up” (to use a gaming term), so that we can continue to help with the…

Evolving Spiritual Practices
This summer I celebrated an unusual anniversary: 20 consecutive years of daily spiritual practice! Yes, really. My practice, as you might imagine, has evolved quite a lot over the last two decades.

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…

Ahh, this is the life.…

Starcat’s Favorites: The Wheel Turns
Happy April to you! No joke. I’m so glad to be here in a new month, though of course the calendar is pretty arbitrary. Still, I will revel in having moved on from the dreaded March, and that the weather will continue to improve (she wrote, determinedly ignoring the snow outside the window). What are…

Magick and the Law of Attraction: How Does It Actually Work?
There are so many misunderstandings about magick and the Law of Attraction and how they actually work in everyday life. I wrote about this in my most recent book, The Heart of the Goddess: A Handbook for Living Soulfully. Here’s an excerpt: Let’s start with a couple of definitions. What do I mean by “magick,”…

Creativity As Portal
Now and then when I talk to people about daily spiritual practice, they immediately get resistant. And defensive. Sometimes even blustery! (What’s up with that?) For some, meditation can seem boring, prayer outmoded, and the idea of a daily practice feels restrictive. Yet for many of the same people, talk to them about their favorite mode…
