“Connunctio Nigredo” When our teacher Lorie Dechar put those words on the board, I turned to the person next to me and said “Now I know we’re at Hogwarts.” They sounded like spells to me. And then I learned what the words mean. “Connunctio” in alchemical terms is sometimes called “divine marriage.” It’s the union…

It may not solve everything but right now, but this meditation I learned from my yoga teacher helps me. I have been unable to go to the vigils for the hate crime that happened in Orlando at Pulse club. I can’t look at photos of the Stanford rapist anymore because they trigger me. Remember to take…

by Nisaa • • 0 Comments
This is a few days late but I wanted to reshare this post I wrote last year: Yule or Winter Solstice marks a turning point in the Wheel of the Year. It’s the moment of dark turning towards light. The days start to get longer. I could write about comparisons between Winter Solstice and Christmas.…
