Anti-Valentine’s Day Contest
I’m entering my Love Lost necklace in Dabbled‘s Black Heart Anti-Valentine Contest v. 2.0. If you are crafty and inspired to do so, you should enter too.
More on the Animating the Spirit of Democracy ritual
I just thought I would share some coverage of the ritual from the Monday before the inauguration. Caroline Kenner, one of the main organizers, wrote a feature article of the whole process at Witches’ Voice with a few pictures. Interfaith Voices, which airs locally on WAMU 88.5 on Sundays at 3:00pm, had a segment in [...]
Invoking compassion and heart into democracy
Angela, originally uploaded by Carly & Art. On Monday, January 19, about 100 people attended a Ritual of Unity and Blessing to Animate the Spirit of Democracy at the Jefferson Memorial. I was honored to invoke the powers of Water to the occasion. With a strong and open heart, I call upon the power [...]
Love Lost and Love Found — New Jewelry
I have recently found that I like designing and putting together beaded jewelry to go with my collage-y artwork. All the little, shiny beads in their translucent colors…. Although I do need a magnifying glass for the smallest ones, and my hands feel a bit cloddish, I am in love again. Perhaps just a phase, [...]

The second from the left features my very own photography skills, such as they are. I have to [...]

Yesterday at 10:27pm EST, the full moon was in Cancer. I am trying to keep with my new practice of doing Touch Drawing at the new and full moons. Prior to my session, I wanted to set an intention and started with a little thinking about the planets, signs, and houses influencing this time. I [...]
Do What You Love
Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library speaks about passion at the Web 2.0 Expo NY. I have watched this video at least 3 times today, but cannot get it to embed correctly here, so go…watch it…do it. Look in the mirror and ask yourself, “What do I want to do everyday for the rest of my [...]
Cosmic Building Blocks
What do you give a pagan baby to welcome him or her into the world? Cosmic Building Blocks of the Magic Universe! With these tools, that baby will learn how to manifest his/her dreams from a very early age.
Reaching Out
I wanna hold your hand, originally uploaded by batega. Today I am feeling alone. Quiet. Yearning. To reach out and find someone’s hand reaching back out to me. I find that much of my motivation in this life is connection — hand to hand and heart to heart. Whether it is through my art, ritual, [...]
