(The other primary holy days are the Summer and Winter Solstices, the Spring and Fall Equinoxes, and the Cross Quarter Days of Beltane, May Day, and Halloween.) Lammas, or "Loaf Mass," is the Feast of the First Harvest, the Feast of Bread. This Holy Day honors the women who created agriculture and bred the crops we cultivate, especially the grains, or corn.

Childbearing & Mothering

A Journey to Center, Part II: Deep Awarenessby Astrid Grove

Gasping for breath I reach the door. Sweat is streaming down my body and I feel nervous, frustrated, and agitated. I have been hurrying to get here, as I always seem to be running late. The ancient oak door is open just a crack, which I know is an invitation to enter. Using the huge block of quartz rock as a stepping stone, I reach my hand up to the gnarled piece of apple wood that serves as the door handle and gently push open the door.

Wisdom Keeper

Dance With Coyoteby JoAnne DodgsonCoyotes have a mysterious love affair with the night. Their compelling howls and echoing barks keep calling me out into the vast mesas surrounding our home. I'm enchanted by these wild dogs of the desert. Like agile wispy spirits, coyotes move discreetly among the red rocks, prickly pear cactus and piňon pines. Blending with the land, they boldly fill the night sky with their mystical calls from places unseen.read the entire article, click here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wise Woman Wisdom

Motherwort: Leonurus cardiaca Herbal Adventures with Susun Weed Herb by herb--from yarrow to wormwood, from poke to comfrey--we are making our way through my first aid kit: that little bag of remedies I never leave home without. I keep the same first aid kit handy at home and in the barn, too. Not only are these herbal remedies simple and safe, they are subversive. Healing ourselves with common weeds found in city as well as country is part of being a radical green witch.read the entire article, click here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anti-Cancer Lifestyle

Herbs for Hags by Susun S Weed I'm so glad I'm finally old. Sadly, many of my friends don't like me to use that word. They say they don't want to be "old.". I think what they really mean is they don't want to be the kind of old that's infirm and dependent. I agree. Vigorously old, excitingly old, sensuously old, daringly old --- those are the adjectives I like to apply to myself as an old woman.read the entire article, click here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Goddess Speaks

The Journey of the Rose A Shamanic Herbal Tale Part II Breathing the Breath of Roseby Julie Charette Nunn, Crow’s Daughter The wild roses are in full bloom now on our land, enough for all kinds of herbal preparations. We discovered a variety of wild rose buds as we wildcrafted recently. One flower bud being is dark fushcia pink; , another more mauve in color. Last fall as we gathered the ripe rose hips, we noticed even more species of rose. Some large and fat, some round, some oval, some ripening quite early and others not quite ripe.read the entire article, click here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grandmother Gaia

 

The Vulva, Part Two by Susun WeedWe are the first guardians of the inner treasures. We hold the keys to your creative power. Proudly we show ourselves, fiercely we protect. We look delicate, flowing and floating, waving and weaving — and so beautiful in our gowns of mauve and pink, pearl and coral. Like the blush of dawn, we blush. Like the glow of health, we glow. We are the ones who open and close the outer gates. We are the muses who sing to those who journey within.
