In keeping with my working with Nancy Blair’s Goddesses for Every Season, (Copyright 1995, Element Books, Inc., Rockport, Massachusetts), the Goddess of the Second Week of Summer Is Yemaya. Yemaya Is the Yoruban/Nigerian/Afro-Caribbean Goddess of the Ocean Waters, and the Defender and Protectress of women and their children (human and animal, too). Like all the […]Read Post ›
No matter how many challenges you face, no matter how much you may be disgusted by hazy, hot and humid weather, no matter how many setbacks you may have in your personal (or professional, for that matter), life, please remember: it is temporary. Now more than ever, I AM crystal clear that there is very […]Read Post ›
As any one who truly knows anything about me can tell you, I AM quite literal. So, here is a “Goddess-Graced Guideline” regarding the upcoming Summer Goddesses. As I mentioned in previous posts (specifically, SEE “Isis” and “Zodiakos: Cancer”), the Sun entered Cancer on Friday, June 21, 2013. As per Nancy Blair’s Goddesses for Every […]Read Post ›
When I wrote my recent post, “Interludes: Spring to Summer,” I had stated that I felt as though I was forgetting about other posts. Well, now I remembered. Although not necessarily part of a series, I promised myself (and others) that I would write more posts about my life as a Gay Man and my […]Read Post ›
You know, I should have known that I would write a second post about the Illustrious Isis, the Great and Glorious Auset of Kimet (the original name for Egypt). And here it is. She spreads Her Wings, She welcomes you home. Home to desert sands and grassy lands; Home to Her Love and Bounty, […]Read Post ›
As per Llewellyn’s 2013 Daily Planetary Guide, the Sun entered Cancer at approximately 1:04AM, EDT, today, Friday, June 21, 2013. Today is also the first day of Summer. Many of my fellow Witches call today Midsummer, but I prefer to call it Litha. The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year. Ironically, with […]Read Post ›
The Great and Glorious Isis, The Awesome Auset, “Queen of Healers,” “Lady of Words of Power,” “Mistress of Magick,” “Queen of Heaven.” Or, as Rowan Galahadria would say, my “Soul’s Creatrix.” I refer to Her as Auset, as She instructed me several years ago, but She Is known to many as Isis. As per Nancy […]Read Post ›

I wanted to take a few moments to give all of you a brief overview of the series of posts that I AM currently writing; this is especially good for those of you that are new […]Read Post ›
This past Sunday, June 19, 2013, I was out and about in my neighborhood. I had called a guy to confirm my date with him for tomorrow. Truth be told, the date was cancelled; he cancelled it, and I AM OK with that. However, there was something that he said that I found very funny […]Read Post ›
In my life, I never met my biological father. It used to upset and bother me until I was eighteen, now I AM OK with it. It is rare that I have those moments when I feel depressed, angry or upset that I never met him, and I have heard everything from, “Well, what if […]Read Post ›
