The Empress calls us to embrace pleasure alongside sorrow. That hope sprouts forth even during and after the dark times. She reminds us that the wheel of the year continues to turn, and with each spin, we come back a little wiser, a little (or a lot) changed, and that while the cycles remain the same, the world and the self reemerge a little different than we’ve ever been before.

She is pink perfection with a dark side to boot. We love her for it. Libra truly is the ultimate balancing act between light and dark.

You can be proud that you made it through the long winter, be ready to charge forward, and simultaneously need to allow yourself the time and space to transition to the new season - the new solar year.

There are three foundational steps to a complete spiritual cleanse - purification, cleansing, and blessing. This ritual can be done as often as you feel necessary. I like doing this each season or during times of transition and transformation.

Our homes are sacred—bridging the spiritual and physical worlds. Across cultures, homes have served as a sanctuary and a portal to realms as concrete as the outside world, and as ethereal as other dimensions—places that connected our physical, emotional, and spiritual existence; a safe haven that links us to both our humanity and the divine.

Full Moons offer up a sense of balance and a reminder that we need both ends of the spectrum and everything in between, because it highlights the opposite signs of the zodiac wheel. This month we experience the influence of Pisces and Virgo. I particularly love this duo, because it gives all the as above, so below energy reminding us that the connection between our earthly and spiritual bodies is where the true magick happens.

There's a grounded element to the new moon that was exact early this morning, thanks to the influence of Saturn which is only about 3 degrees away. This also makes me think about the fact that Pisces rules over the feet which is a really lovely reminder to firmly plant your manifestations and dreams in the ground.

Join us for a fabulously magickal afternoon to celebrate The Magick Makers’ turning three with a witchy brunch and pop-up party in downtown Durham, NC.
