Summer Solstice – Strawberry Rose Moon
by angeliska on June 26, 2013
Hot on the heels of the Summer Solstice, the full moon in Capricorn has waxed gravid over the horizon – a supermoon to boot, pregnant with all the intensity and magic of a grand water trine (Sun in Cancer, Saturn (…)
Beltane Fire – Pink Moon
by angeliska on May 1, 2013
Calloo, callay, it’s May Day! I’ve been fighting off the annual Scorpio moon lethargy that apparently strikes me every year – strange but true, I find myself struggling to climb a seemingly endless mountain of correspondence, household chores, gardening et (…)

by angeliska on January 6, 2013
Pandora Gastelum of The Mudlark Confectionary and The Mudlark Public Theatre lovingly created this incredible art doll of the Two-Faced Goddess Perchta for my birthday last year, and I’ve been meaning to share both images of her creation and her (…)

Autumn Heralds
by angeliska on September 24, 2012

DRIVE ON, BRAVE CHARIOT
by angeliska on August 1, 2012
Yesterday, I crossed a milestone that has been waiting for me for half my life. At the age of 33, I passed my driving test, and at long last – got my driver’s license. It’s an odd feeling: at once (…)
Full Moon in Capricorn
by angeliska on July 4, 2012
This month’s full moon falls into my own sign, Capricorn – and has brought with it a cornucopia of Saturnine horrors: disintegration, separation, and yet more loss. Once again, the rug has been pulled out from under me, and I’m (…)
