Weekly Wisdom: Bringing Fire & Light to Cold Winter Snows

January 16, 2012

Over in the Gaian Tarot Circle, we’ve been talking about Winter.  We began by wondering where the heck Lady Winter was, with reports of unseasonable warmth around the continent and the globe.  Then (almost because She knew we were whispering about Her), She swept in with a vengeance in a number of places, notably the [...]

January 10, 2012

An interesting card to turn up for the second week of the New Year.  Perhaps some of us are feeling discouraged already at all of the messages to make resolutions, improve ourselves, set goals, reach for our dreams.  (Even though I am personally very big on setting goals, I did write about rejoicing in non-goals [...]

January 2, 2012

Today the Sun is in Capricorn, the waxing Moon is in Aries, and we are a third of the way through the “tide” that began at Winter Solstice.  We’re also a day past New Year’s in the Gregorian calendar, and it’s a legal holiday here in the states. It’s a good day to contemplate the [...]

Weekly Wisdom: Reflecting on the Year Gone By

December 27, 2011

Like my friend Waverly Fitzgerald, I always do a Life Review during the week between Solstice and New Year’s. Before dreaming new dreams for 2012, I take a look at the year gone by. (Waverly calls this “shutting the door on the old year.”)  This week, I gave the following exercise to the folks who [...]

Gaian Soul Chat with Danya Smith

I met Danya Smith online last year, when she joined the Gaian Tarot Circle as a charter member. As I got to know her, I became more and more impressed with her gentle spirit and her commitment to what she calls “Contemplative Tarot.”  I was very happy to get to meet her in person at [...]

Weekly Wisdom: Silence & Solitude

December 13, 2011

This week’s card reminds us that, even though celebration is in the air, and there are cookies to be baked, gifts to be made, and a dozen other things to do — Mama Gaia Herself is slowing down, and dreaming deep dreams. Likewise, we need to schedule in quiet time during these busy days, to [...]

Weekly Wisdom: The Medicine of Music

November 28, 2011

In the states, Thanksgiving is over and our thoughts turn towards Yuletide.  It’s a liminal time, as one tide becomes another. We take down our All Hallows ancestor altars and bring out the holly, the ivy, and the bayberry candles.  Yet we are still technically in the season of the Old Ones, the Elders. The [...]
