Seeing Hadestown live was nothing short of magical. From the powerful retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice’s story to the unforgettable performances of the national tour cast, every moment swept me away. With themes of love, survival, and fate woven into a jazzy, soulful score, this show proves why it has captured so many hearts. If you ever have the chance to see Hadestown, take it—you won’t regret the journey to the underworld.

Missing Witches is a book that weaves history, ritual, and remembrance into the rhythm of the Wheel of the Year. Inspired by the podcast of the same name, it highlights the lives of overlooked women—like Pamela Colman Smith, the true artist behind the Rider-Waite tarot—and reclaims their voices for modern witchcraft. With rituals included for each sabbat, this book is both a resource and a remembrance. If you’re seeking to deepen your practice and honor those erased from history, Missing Witches is worth adding to your shelf.

Hekate has been the guiding presence in my practice from early on, a goddess whose energy feels like home. Known as the triple moon goddess and mother of witches, she embodies duality, crossroads, and the mysteries of magic and night. Working with her has deepened my understanding of myself and my craft, offering both guidance and growth. This post is a glimpse into why I chose to walk with Hekate and how she continues to shape my path.

While its modern name has Welsh roots, the heart of the celebration is about gratitude, abundance, and preparing for the turning of the year. From apples and cornucopias to warm autumn colors, this season invites reflection and renewal. For me, it’s also the perfect time to refresh my altar and honor the shifting seasons in simple, meaningful ways.

Katherine was recently diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition where the heart walls begin to harden. While her vets remain hopeful that it may not progress beyond a murmur, it’s still difficult news to process. For now, I’m focusing on keeping her comfortable and cherishing each day we have together. This journey has reminded me how much your support means, and how deeply grateful I am to not be walking it alone.

When I bring a new tarot or oracle deck into my practice, I have a ritual to get to know it properly. From slowly flipping through the cards and noting which ones call to me, to reading the guidebook, cleansing the deck, and even doing an “interview” spread, each step helps me understand the deck’s energy and how it communicates. This process not only deepens my connection but also ensures I’m working with decks that truly resonate with me.
