Do You Prepare Yourself for the Winter Blues?
Cloudy days, sharp winds, icy streets, and cold temperatures are just some of the conditions that New Yorkers and folks in the Midwest and Northeast deal with during the winter. Oh, and of course, short days when the sun is setting by 5pm. It’s not really the ideal weather to be outside enjoying nature and…

Delight in the Summer Storm
Summer storms – nature’s party that joins the forces of wind, water, clouds, thunder, and lightning. This combination ushers in such invigorating energy; it’s one of my favorite things about Summer. It feels like you’re in a movie — all of a sudden the skies get dark and you know something is on the horizon.…

Have You Seen These Three Medicinal Herbs (“Weeds”) in the Northeast?
When I say New York City — what do you envision? Skyscrapers, lots of people, stores, crowds, concrete. I’m so sure. My hometown of NYC certainly has plenty of bright lights and activities to keep you busy, but did you know that there are so many parks and lots of designated green spaces as well?…

Can You Feel the Change of Seasons Upon Us?
Winter is the barren season. It’s when we nurture ourselves, reflect, and slow down. Our patriarchal society wants us to constantly be one way when the matriarchal flow of nature is about cycles. Though I still understand the need to take things easy during this time (because it’s still hella cold), I can sense change…

A Time to Reflect Before Moving Forward
Happy New Year! TBH, I don’t really recognize a new year until the Spring Equinox in March. That’s when we enter a completely new season (spring), and we enter the first zodiac sign of the wheel, Aries. But, as a collective, we’re officially in 2022. And it seems like many of us are just taking…

Do You Change Your Diet with the Seasonal Transitions?
Figs, pomegranates, and apples, oh my! Do you notice the change in market offerings with the shifting of the seasons? I remember the curiosity I felt while seeing a range of new fruits (and vegetables) out in the markets in Brooklyn this September. In the Pagan tradition, Mabon (which I previously wrote about) is celebrated…

Take Things One Day at a Time
This Virgo season, I feel like I’m still getting my footing on the ground after a bit of a shake-up from Leo season. Something about the energy this summer felt unusually draining. I had high-intensity moments of euphoria, and days where I felt like I was literally walking through fog and had no concept of…

Let’s talk about HEART HEALTH! Since it’s Leo season, and I’m a Leo sun, moon, and mars, I’ve been thinking of matters related to the heart; Leos are ruled by the heart (and sun) after all. I was reflecting upon the ways I’ve changed my own habits and lifestyle to improve my heart health over…

A Call to Nurture and Balance Yourself <3
Ok y’all, it’s officially summer!! And I’ve noticed that the theme of duality from Gemini season continues. We transitioned from light/dark to masculine/feminine. With the sun in the feminine, watery sign of Cancer, I’m called to look at how we balance these tender vibes with the hot, masculine energy of summer. How did we get…

Rest and Nurture Your Home this Cancer Season
It’s time to get comfy because we’re in Cancer season, which is one of my favorites, actually – because now we’re officially in summer mode! Spring just kind of flew by.

“You’ll be the Lion and You’ll be the Deer” — Gemini Season and Our Dualistic Nature
I came across a message from a Rumi card pulled I once pulled in my “Rumi Oracle: An Invitation into the Heart of the Divine” deck and it sparked a thought related to Gemini Season. “When you enter the garden of the heart, you become fragrant like the rose.When you fly toward Heaven, you become…

Are You Cleansing Your Energy? 3 Different Smoke Cleansing Methods
Do you cleanse by smoke? It’s a ritual I partake in almost daily. Between burning intentional incense and palo santo or sage, I constantly find a way to clear out stagnant energy around me. Sometimes, I feel particularly heavy after being outside and I’ll smudge myself with sage to completely remove negative energies. I love…

Feeling the Ground Gives me the Feels
At heart, deep holism means a refusal to join the zombie apocalypse— to not be numb, unfeeling, disconnected, on autopilot, unable to feel yourself or others.— Pip Walker The other day I intentionally walked barefoot in the grass. I dug my toes into the earth as I walked, I made sure the bottoms of my…

Are You Grateful for the Abundance that Earth Provides?
On this week that we’re celebrating Earth Day, I’ve been thinking about the myriad of ways in which the earth provides for us. Water for drinking, bathing, and simply enjoying. Herbs and plants as medicine; fruits, vegetables, nuts, animals, and more for food. It’s truly amazing how bountiful this planet is. In recent months, I’ve…
