It's Monday (again!). Time really needs to slow down! 😁 I hope you had a great weekend--and you are ready for the Fire energy! The Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune are all going to be in the Cardinal sign of Aries at some point this week. 🔥 This particular energy will allow for bold, courageous actions personally and globally. Aries energy can also be impatient--when you are feeling ready to leap before you look--SLOW DOWN! Take a breath--then ensure you are making the best decision. In the Coven Community this week ~ ☕️ Our Witch's Tea Time on Tuesday, April 14 will be EARLIER this week--at 1:30pm ET (instead of 2pm ET). This will be the time for the next four weeks--then we will go back to 2pm. Make sure to mark your calendar! 🌑 The New Moon in Aries Circle will be on Friday, April 17 at 12pm ET. Bring a candle, your cards, and your journal for this intention-setting ceremony. ☀️ Our next Planning Session will be on Sunday, April 19 at 3pm ET. Come plan for your week in this informal gathering. In the Coven Curriculum (in the Premium or VIP membership) ~ 🌬️ Airy Pairs - Crazy Lace Agate + Scolecite is now in the classroom. In this lesson, we explore the airy energy of these crystals and how together these stones can support us when we want to be intentional in how we word our magical practices. This pair is especially great at fostering harmonious communications. If you feel you are simply not being heard clearly--join today to gain access to this lesson (and all of the Coven Curriculum!) 💦 Card of the Week (from The Penumbra Tarot) ~ The Element (Page) of Cups lets us know that emotions often go far deeper that what we see on the surface. So as you are moving into deep experience with any emotion, ground yourself first. Take three deep breaths. Put your feet on the floor. Hold a crystal in your hand. Any small act that brings you physically into the present--so that you can then explore your emotional body safely and securely. Also, lean into the flow of the element of Water as the planets fire up this week!

Since dandelions are just starting to bloom in my area, I was looking forward to this lesson. I enjoyed all the information provided and learned new ways to use this plant. Thank you for including the PDF.

Today we planned for the upcoming week by first being grateful for Mercury retrograde being over! These past few weeks were tough! Then we centered and grounded--preparing for a quiet independent planning session. We shared our card draws at the end! Decks we used ~ The Secret Language of Animals Oracle by Chip Richards The Herbcrafter's Tarot by Latisha Guthrie and Joanna Powell Colbert Sacred Forest Oracle by Denise Linn See you next Sunday! 🩷 Kelly

I went live today for the Tea Time (Tuesday, March 17) and had some trouble getting connected to the room. And the recording did not work so no replay! 😫 During the live, I chatted about this being St. Patrick's Day--how we connect (or not) to this day for a variety of reasons. So instead of looking to the saint for advice on this day, I looked to The Morrígan instead. The Morrígan is a triple Goddess sacred to the land of Ireland. She is integral to many of the myths and stories of that time. However, much of her mythology has probably been lost due to the lack of written records by the Celtic peoples as well as the recording of the stories by Christian missionaries (like St. Patrick!) many years later--with their own particular views. However, we can look to what we do know about Her for messages, support, and deep work when facing personal battles or stepping into our own sovereignty. During the live, I drew a card from the Call of the Morrígan Oracle along with two cards from the Crow Tarot for a message from this ancient Goddess for today's time. The oracle card I drew was Lady of Sovereignty--ruling over own authentic selves. The two guiding Tarot cards I drew from the Crow Tarot were The Tower and The Hierophant--when the ground seems to be crumbling underneath our feet, we can rely on our own traditions, wisdom and knowledge to build something new and better.
