As a hospice chaplain and death doula, I could not agree more.

The earth always holds me. The earth always supports me. When I lay my tired body and wounded spirit down upon it, I will never fall.

I'm a new hospice chaplain and have been invited to speak at a Veteran's Day pinning ceremony next week. Do you have any veteran appropriate blessings or prayers to share?

I had two visitors this Samhain, my maternal Gma and paternal Gpa. They both wanted to hear all the family news! My Grandma visited while I had my morning coffee since she was a coffee addict in life.
I love that, as a witch, I can still talk to those who are no longer among the living.

I looked that up in my correspondence book just out of curiosity and cardinals apparently are associated with a bunch of stuff!

Look at this cool chaplain thing I got for my hard of hearing/non verbal patients!

On my way to work, just outside my apartment, I spotted a flock of black vultures (and no carrion) on a grassy hill.
Black vultures signify the ending of cycles, cleansing and rebirth. A flock tells me that I'll need community as I go through the next cycle.

I took a trip to Luray Caverns in the Shenandoah Valley & this formation"Pluto's Ghost" is my favorite. I have been to several caverns (including this one) & I have never felt the slightest bit uncomfortable. Just a sense of deep peace and safety.

I picked this up today finally and if you're pagan, I CANNOT recommend it enough if you are able to read about the persecution of suspected witches in Puritan society. It's fictional and it grabs you from Chapter 1 and doesn't let go! I read the entire book in one sitting!

I've been feeling drained/chaotic lately and struggling to move through my days. Yesterday I did a reading about how to regain my equilibrium.
This guy basically screamed STRUCTURE in my "ear"! I struggle with the traditionally masculine aspect but sometimes I guess I need them!
