As the summer unfolds with the upcoming solstice (or winter, depending on where you are), consider skipping out on the circles, gatherings, chants, rituals. Consider spending it quietly, in nature, with your soul, Spirit, and a sacred stone.

I feel now more than ever that having a daily spiritual practice is not only necessary for your spiritual growth and wellbeing, but a healing practice that grounds light and high frequencies in this world. A daily practice with crystals doesn’t need to take a huge amount of time.

If you’re looking to create significant change in your life, yourself, or your world, you can work with alchemy stones to help initiate or effect powerful inner and outer transformation.

I think many of us (myself included) could do with a little Leo moon juice + some joyfully mad-passionate crystals right now...

The purpose of this ritual is to charge a crystal with the moon’s healing energy and guidance, so that you can connect with healing light energy in dark times, and ask to receive guidance or clarity to help you navigate the challenges and understand the meaning or lessons from what you’re facing.

Even if it’s just taking five minutes to tune in to myself, center, and connect with my soul or the Universe, those five minutes can initiate a palpable energy shift that can help set up my whole day for the better.

Here are some crystal suggestions for this magical day. You can wear them to tune into the energy of these magical days, and to enhance any of your manifestation, healing, ritual, or spiritual workings.

While many of us focus on what we intend to attract, create or achieve in the new year, not as many contemplate what they’re willing to release in order to create space for their dreams, opening the road to success.

We have quite an incredible month ahead of us! It begins today with Lughansadh, the first of three harvest festivals and the transition in triple goddess lore from the time of the Mother (fullness, life) to the Crone (wisdom, psychism, death). So how does all of this translate into our everyday lives?

The bards were playing their lyres as the priestesses prepared offerings and libation for the sacred union. The festival of Beltane is here again. The celebrations begin on the eve of April 30th (though traditionally, on the eve before the sun is in 15 degrees of Taurus).

While having your aura shielded and protected from lower and/or harmful energy is an essential part of self-care, you also need to be mindful of the quality of the energy in your space. Your space, after all, is an extension of yourself.

In our modern mystical age, many people tend to focus on the theme of balance when it comes to the equinox (which is today, March 20th!).

In ancient times, the equinox was a celebration of the return of spring, and of all the good things people were hoping for in their lives.

From dawn til dusk they gathered: Druids in a circle around the great oak, priestesses clasping hands in the sacred grove.

Get real with yourself in terms of how you’ve been interpreting your past and present, and how that’s been setting up your future (cause it has!).

Fully committing to a ritual, big or small, is a deeply healing act.

The Equinox is about balance, and it's up to us right now to find and achieve that balance between light and dark in our lives.

The Autumnal Equinox, also known as 'Mabon' in some spiritual circles, marks a the balance between the day and the night. This is a perfect time to celebrate the abundance in your daily life: food, friends, music, and your achievements. It's also a good day to reflect on where you're at in your life, as well as where you'd like to be.
