Here is the time to begin to reflect on the year about to pass. Goddess bless, I had a horrible, wonderful year.
Last year this time I was immobile, my SI joint was inflamed, I was running fever of 101, and none of the docs could diagnose me.
The uncertainty of it all … the humiliation of not being able to walk, the loss of fun and friends, my life was conducted on the phone and online. I had to cancel all obligations. And always, this possibility that they had to open up my hip replacements and redo it; putting me on antibiotic drips for three months, and then replace the hips with new ones. And, I would never walk again normally.
All this because fever in this country can only come from infections. Not so.
I talked to a woman who said she had SI joint inflammations. […]

The Apple Branch is opening her doors to new women beginning in January. The Apple Branch ~
A Dianic Tradition is a spiritual and educational tradition, created by Deanne Quarrie, known in the Craft as Bendis, for the purpose of empowering women through recognition of the Goddess within. We offer both private and public opportunities for women for ritual, classes, workshops, and retreats based on the founding principles of the Dianic tradition. Beginning with honoring and celebrating our own Women’s Mysteries we also are exploring ancient traditions that we believe to have come through the Ban Drui, and are “remembering” ancient teachings. We explore trance induced ecstasy through dance and our inner work with the
Ogham, the associated nature based correspondences, and The Three Cauldrons within our spiritual bodies. We like to think of our work as exploring ancient traditions with new eyes.
We are primarily online but do meet for gatherings. The […]

Ritual at 8

Join us at 6:30 to go caroling at the local senior housing facility
(we did this last year and it was so fun and rewarding!), or feel free
to just arrive for ritual at 8 PM. We’ll be crafting charms with Frau
Holle, capering and prancing with The Holly King, Herne and the winter
faeries, and lighting the Yule log as our inner light reaches to
connect with the divine light that glimmers on the other side of the
darkness. We’ll end with festive cakes and ale of the season.
Bring drums, rattles, shakers and other noisemakers for musical fun,
as well as any items you wish to put on the altar.

What a difference it makes when more then just a few women take on a project! Tinn’s enthusiasm and hard work got us the new Goddess camp, the teamwork with Cerridwen got us the ads out and my website enhanced.
Its very hard to get good traffic on a website, and even harder to make a living. We are no way there yet. The booksales have been stimulated by your blessed 15 women who bothered to call. Had I had this kind of lukewarm (only 15 out of 800) support when the Holy Book of Women’s Mysteries book was first out, we would never have a Goddess Movement today.
We were thinking in my witchy office, what’s happening? This list is my lifeline to the world.
If ALL OF YOU CALLED A BOOKSTORE there would have been a SURGE of sales by now. Without the […]

I settle down after 6pm on my couch, after all I deserve this, I am an Elder, lets watch some mindless stuff. I am never disappointed when I have zero expectations.
Thank Goddess for the clicker! I click madly, let’s see the News, everybody got the News, each network reporting on the very same event, why they think if they are different from each other we’ll miss out on some vital piece of news, like something has gotten blown up, there was an accident on the Bay Bridge, commuters are slowed down into a crawl. Come on!
What is this attachment to bad news? You could report on some good news too. Like in most of the world, there is no war. Yes. Imagine this, out of the many many countries, we see Somalia warring, Arabs have taken over, killing the blacks who are the […]

Dear Befana!
You are the spirit that brings the gifts of life, but you don’t live on the North Pole. You live in the Air, and fly a hefty broom. Salutations to you!
Before Sinta Klaas was adopted from the Dutch and made into Santa Clous, it was you who brought gifts to the children, sweets for the good, and you only knew good kids. Befana! Mother Befana! Granny Befana! The old year opened up her cornocopia, out poured the harvest, the grains, the fruits, the figs and the grapes, the wine, and the breads.
Then you flew off again to fill your apron with more goodies. It was you who bid grandmothers to cook and bake, create huge celebrations around food, which is the basis for all life. You promised continuity, you promised new years, you promised old age and longevity […]
