I’ve been so ill for the last week or so with a sinus infection. But I’m back from the dead with my big ole head.

I'm writing a book, a memoir that deals with my youth, until I was about 24. Here is a sort of preface that I wrote last night.

"What follows is an account of my youth, from my earliest memories through my undergraduate years. It’s divided in three parts of 8 years each, for a number of reasons. Other than abiding affection for the number 8 and its multiples, there are ley lines that suggest themselves in the landscape of my life and they seem to occur in increments of 8 years.

At 8 my childhood, in a lot of ways, ended.

At 16 I became a witch. And that’s the fulcrum on which this book balances. What does becoming a witch entail? For me, it meant discovering the peculiarly female nature of witchcraft and the fact that by looking at the world through a certain lens, I could define myself by the very sexy term WITCH. It meant that I wasn’t, or at least I needn’t be, a victim of patriarchal circumstance. It meant that there were other girls and women out there with whom I shared this title, this mantle, this thing that had killed us in earlier days but that hinted at the possibility of being able to save us now.

Greetings, Witches and other friends! It’s not quite summer yet, but it’s plenty warm.  I’ve been working with Mary Greer’s fantastic book Tarot for Your Self, and I’m learning so much. The book’s purpose is to teach the reader to engage with the cards on a very deep level - specifically for the reader to use the deck to get to know herself better (which in turn leads to knowing the deck better).

One technique she advocates that’s new to me involves how to determine your “personality” and “soul” cards. The personality card indicates what your soul has manifested in this lifetime to learn. The soul card is more far-reaching, and indicates the entirety of your soul’s journey - across all its lifetimes of manifestation.

So, how do you determine what your personality and soul cards are? It’s easy. It just takes a little bit of math...READ MORE
