Guest article by Claire Sierra, MA, LFT, author/founder of The Magdalene Path “This is a ministry not a business.” I heard these words clearly from Mary Magdalene one morning, as I was coming out of meditation and prayer. Let me share the context for this inspiration. As an author, art therapist and spiritual coach I’ve […]
Helping to Create New Sacred Circles in the World
“Hi! I wanted to thank you for your help (and the circle at the Midwest herbal retreat). I began a circle in August, I just have reached out to my circle of friends and they reached their friends, we now have 32 members in my circle. We do not all go at the same time, […]
These Times – Where you Put Your Attention Grows
Theme for Today’s Sacred Circle. Okay, actually theme for our lives. Where you put your attention grows. I have always known this and that is why I have always put my money, my time, my love towards the things, the people that matter in my life. But more so than ever before I understand how […]
Keep Turning Towards that Feeling
Keep Turning to It. The feeling: surrounded by love, surrounded by hope, surrounded by the Earth. I am watching Alone, and I get it. The people who stay, Surrender. They figure out how to live in tune with the Earth and its cycles. They express gratitude to the animals and fish who give up their […]
Witches’ New Year: She is Everywhere
Samhain, the Witches ‘New Year’ was a busy time for me. I did a workshop at a local large artist facility Lowe Mill Arts in Huntsville, Alabama.

Calling on the Ancient Ways to Make a New Future
Dawn follows the dark. Call on Elen of the Ways for the ancient pathways revealing the mysteries of the deep wild wood where your heart resides. Well, duh. Of course. I camped out alone on my newly bought land in North Carolina for the first time this weekend. From Judith Shaw’s incredible Oracle of Celtic […]
Ebbs and Flows and Conflict in a Sacred Circle
We address and are open-hearted honest when we feel wronged, again listening to each other and allowing each other our different perspectives. Learning. And realizing that we are all works in progress. In the nine years that I have hosted Circles, I have only asked one person to leave. This was many years ago, and […]
Connecting with the Resilient Wild: The Crows
On Thursday, I was driving into town and spotted a Raven in the middle of the highway. As I got closer, I could see that it was hit by a car. The bird was in the middle of the lane and about three miles from home. Knowing Ravens well from living alongside a family for […]
