New Moon Ritual: January 2026
Happy New Year! Welcome to the first New Moon Dream Divination ritual of 2026. I’m frequently reminded of what my friend Irene Glasse says about spirit communication when I engage in this dream ritual: spirit pulls from images or sensations that make sense to you in order to convey a message, and sometimes that can result in some pretty weird moments. This is why she and I, and lots of other folks really, encourage y’all to read, create art, watch movies, etc. Consider it like expanding your vocabulary and giving the unseen the ability to provide more nuance in their messages.
All of this to say, I really enjoy Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke, both the novel and miniseries adaptation, and apparently that was the media spirit was pulling from last night.
Book Review: Chronically Magickal: Navigating Chronic Illness with Witchcraft
Danielle Dionne’s recent book, Chronically Magickal: Navigating Chronic Illness with Witchcraft, is something I wish I had ten years ago. As someone who identifies as a witch, pagan, and disabled person with a chronic illness this book spoke to so many aspects about both my daily life and my spiritual practice.
Ritual: Storytelling As Healing
Storytelling has become an increasingly important part of my practice. It is a way that I connect with, call forth, and honor ancestors. There is power in being remembered and, when it comes to Queer Ancestors, power in having the lessons in your life shared with the next generation.
Ritual: Healing and Strength for Marginalized Communities
After the attack on Pulse a poem began making the rounds online that really stuck with me. Over the last month or so I’ve found this poem floating into my conscious mind more frequently without really realizing why. A few weeks ago I turned to Google to find the entire poem and, upon reading it, I realized what my Queer Ancestors were trying to tell me.
