Are You In the Autumn Groove?
Happy Autumnal Equinox, also known as Mabon! Fall has officially arrived. Fall is associated with the element of water. Last night I led an online ritual that was focused on both water and Mabon, and the two energies worked well together. We invoked Yemaya, mother of the sacred waters. I’ve been working with Her for…

Why Is Rest So Difficult?
I’ve been having conversations with some friends and biz sisters lately about rest – and in a bigger sense, receiving. Why is it so challenging, sometimes? An obvious factor is mainstream culture’s focus on hustle. Here in the United States, particularly, we’re continually encouraged to DO more. What about some time to just BE? Nope.…

It’s been 3 months since I wrote about some of my experiences with sovereignty. It’s time for an update! First of all, I now have a crystal crown – well, more of a tiara, really. I love wearing it. If you need one for yourself, or any kind of crystals, I highly recommend this Etsy…

I Don’t Mind
There’s a quote that’s been rolling around in my head for a few months. In his later years, the Indian sage and spiritual teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti gave a talk in which he offered to share his secret to living a joyful and fulfilled life. “This is my secret,” he told a rapt audience. “I…

Starcat’s Favorites: Retreats!
I absolutely LOVE retreats. I love leading them. I love attending them. This week I attended my biz coach’s spring retreat. It was virtual and ran for three days. The picture is my space as I got ready for the first day. Yes, we use Tarot cards and candles at our biz retreat. You know…

Sovereignty & Synchronicity: Some Thoughts
My Word of the Year for 2020 was SOVEREIGN. I know we’re in a whole new year (my Word for 2021 is MAGICK!), but I’ve still been experimenting with the concept and practice of sovereignty. To me, being sovereign is about being centered in your own experience, and leading from a place of grace and…
