You climb to the top of the hill and notice there are other witches there waiting. The moon is high in the sky and a wolf howls somewhere in the forest. Down below, the town is asleep, unaware of the powerful magic that’s about to be conjured. A woman in flowing black robes stokes a ...
I don’t know about you, but when Ostara rolls around in my part of town, I feel ALIVE. I enjoy the Winter season, but I can’t deny how vibrant and joyful my entire body feels when the Spring Equinox comes. It’s a great time to get outside and re-connect with Mother Nature and ...
