    Hello, loyal readers! I assume you’re loyal, since you’re still here even though I haven’t written for a while. October was insanely busy. I had said “yes” to a whole bunch of (admittedly fun) social events, we still had lots of soccer games, our car situation remained…interesting, and by the end of the month, I…

    The element of Air swirls around us, unseen but essential to life. Air’s direction is East and its time is spring and dawn. Air’s colors are light and peaceful: sky blue, pale yellow, and pure white. Air’s essence is expressed by capricious winds, the flight of birds, and music of all types. We need Air…

    Last month, I went with my sister-in-law and daughter on a backpacking trip to Baxter State Park. I was born in Maine and have lived here my whole life, but I’d never been to Baxter before. It was amazing! Mt. Katahdin is the tallest mountain in Maine and there are many Native American legends about…

    As most of you know, I’m an avid reader and self-described bookworm. I love books of many types. But once in a while, a book comes along that just totally sweeps me off my feet. I am reading one right now (see number 13 on the list below), and it sparked the idea for this…

    Last night we participated in a global cleansing ritual, thanks to my friend Aurora over at Wiccan Life. She wrote and posted a ritual to help heal the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Since I don’t currently have the resources to donate money to help with the cleanup, or go there and volunteer myself,…

    I’m glad and relieved about the coming of the spring and the month of April. It was a long, hard winter for me. Yes, the weather was relatively mild up here in Maine, but in my own personal weather system it was often quite stormy. The blue skies and fresh air are quite refreshing. In…

    The following is a slightly-modified article I wrote for presentation to my Elements Study Group this past weekend. We’ve been exploring the Earth element, and to me the body-mind connection of yoga fit in well. I presented the article, then led them through a half-hour of gentle yoga. Most everyone seemed to enjoy it. Yoga,…

    There hasn’t been as much blogging this week, as I’ve been busy, well, doing stuff. So I thought, as promised in my post about this year’s goals, that I’d give you an update. In particular, lately I’ve been combining my goals regarding exploring spirituality and giving back. I really enjoy volunteering in the Pagan community.…

    Earth is the element most closely associated with manifesting. Manifesting could also be called creating, or fulfilling your goals. When you want something in your life, whether it is a material thing such as a house or a new iPod, or perhaps a love relationship, or your Master’s degree, or something more abstract such as…
