IMBOLC – Brighid’s Blessing
by angeliska on February 1, 2018
Every year on Imbolc, I honor the sacred wheel’s turning by doing some ritual spring cleaning: I like to clear out my tarot trailer, tidy my house, wipe down my hearth and altars with sweet oils. I sweep the cobwebs (…)
Winter's Embrace
by angeliska on December 21, 2017
Photo by Clint Redden Today, the sun stands still – the scintillating convergence of the Winter Solstice is upon us, and at the darkest moment in our winter, the light begins to return to us. That light, the little candle (…)
This Bitter Earth – Vernal Equinox
by angeliska on March 22, 2017
The Vernal Equinox heralds Persephone’s return into the light, beckoning her back up to the land of the living. Coming back slowly into consciousness – the body wakes up, remembers how to breathe, sigh, sing again. This Pluto transit I’ve (…)

by angeliska on January 12, 2017
Tonight is the first full moon of 2017 – a warm and unseasonably balmy night, even for January in Texas. I don’t really feel like writing, at least not much here – but I do feel like sharing, just a (…)

11.11.15. – NEW MOON IN SCORPIO
by angeliska on November 11, 2015

NIGHTBLOOMING IN THE DEEP DARK WOODS
by angeliska on July 9, 2015
I started writing this almost a year ago: Take a picture of a dark room at 4am, slap a filter on it, capture a ghost. Take a picture of your insomniac, restless spirit, up tossing and turning way past midnight. (…)
BLACKBIRD AND GOOSE
by angeliska on November 29, 2014
Olivia Hansson is a very magical lady that I have yet to meet – though I have a strong sense that if we were on the same continent (she lives in Sweden), that we would no doubt enjoy having tea (…)
11.11.14. – HEARTFOOD
by angeliska on November 11, 2014
Last night I dreamt I was getting married. Walking through a garden with tables set for a banquet, floral arrangements spilling over with bright orange berries and paper lantern flowers. Lights were strung from the trees. Everything was being prepared, (…)
