#FediCoven 2026 Q7: What have seasonal changes taught you that books or teachers could not?
I've learned more from nature in general that I ever would have in school when it comes to many subjects. I allow myself to truly feel (and love) the changes during the year, throughout the seasons, and that alone has done a lot for me. Just as we as people change, Mother Earth does as well throughout the year. Change is good. It cleanses and renews.

#FediCoven 2026 Q6: What relationship do you have with the moon and its phases, and how does that show up in your craft?
Ever since I was little, I've always felt connected to the moon. That hasn't changed, nor will it. The moon plays a big part in my practice, as I'm sure it does for many others as well. I usually work my schedule and spells around its phases.

Greedy industrialists are destroying the Earth. Mary and her weather-wrangling wiccans can stop them. They are succeeding, until someone uses their powers against them.

@floofpaldi I love when somebody hits it off with you & we start talking energies, herbs, or spiritual court. Then others join in with their experiences.
What doesn’t work for me when you bring something up that could be better & you’re greeted with apathy. I’ve left circles over this. #Pagan #Paganism #Wicca #Wiccan #Heathen #Fedicoven

#FediCoven 2026 Q5: What helps you feel welcome in a pagan or witchy space? And what doesn't?
A true feeling of "otherness" and a lack of crosses. LOL. In all seriousness, though, just a genuine sense of self, unapologetically and authentically them, so I can get a read on the person, an idea of who they are or what they like, and we all decorate differently. That final part makes things fun.
Just be yourself.

#FediCoven 2026 Q4: How do you identify? (Witch, druid, pagan, shaman, medium, 'all of the above'?)
These days, I generally only use a single word: pagan (because it's simple, easy). Feel free to call me anything you want, though. None of those words bother me. Also, random: I'm a medium, or a clairvoyant, psychic, etc. I even have a paranormal podcast.

Jake is an electrical engineer, and a wizard with ancient devices. But he didn’t know real magic until he met Mary, who uses her powers to control the weather. Together, they team up to heal Gaia from the ravages of human industry. Is it science or magic?
Read “Our Better Nature”, and you can decide.

#FediCoven 2026 Q3: Are you out of the broom closet?
I was raised in an Irish Catholic family. With that being said, my father practiced his own sort of Paganism, having been close to and dear friends with so many indigenous peoples, and my mother is Wiccan. So, of course, to some family members, I'm out. To others, I'm not. I actually live with my grandmother, my nana, and she thinks I just collect crystals. She also thinks I might be agnostic. It is what it is.
-
#FediCoven 2026 Q2: What role does self-care play in your practice? Any tips?
Self-care is a huge part of my practice. A major one, actually. We have to take care of ourselves before we can even think of taking care of those around us. No matter what your religion is, that should play a role.
As for tips? Do what's right for your body. Listen to what your body needs. Drink more water. Take your medication if you're reading this and you haven't yet. Every little thing matters.
-
#FediCoven 2026 Q1: For those who have a form of divination in their practice, does this indicate to you that the universe is predestined or deterministic?
Thank you, @HeliaXyana! :11111:
In some ways, I believe it is. In others, I do believe we forge our own path. You could ask any pagan and they would probably give you a different answer. While I think some things are set in stone, others might be changed.

One review called “Our Better Nature” a modern fairy tale for hopeful adults. Mary, a thoroughly modern woman, uses her ancient weather-wrangling wiccan ways to heal Gaia from the ravages of the global industrial complex. Along the way, she and her consort Jake find love, intrigue, good food, mystery, danger, and an ultimate challenge. On Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and at the Boulder Bookstore.

Even though I'm known as The Minoan Lady, this continues to be my bestselling book. I'm not crazy about most self-help books, so I wrote my own: for ordinary mortals, those of us with less time and energy than we'd like. You don't have to be Wiccan to use the methods I share in it.

Remember, folks, authors are small businesses!
I'm much better known for "the Minoan stuff," but this book continues to be my bestseller. It's the self-help book I wrote because I don't like self-help books. And you don't have to be Wiccan to use it! Be sure to get the updated second edition, with the hands holding a candle on the cover.

Blooming into Balance: Celebrating Ostara 2025
The air is changing. A gentle warmth replaces the winter’s chill, and the world awakens with a vibrant burst of life. Ostara, the Spring Equinox, is upon us! This Pagan Sabbat marks the moment when day and night are of equal length, a perfect balance before the sun’s power begins to dominate. In 2025, we’ll be celebrating Ostara on Thursday, March 20th.
Ostara is a time of renewal, rebirth, and growth. It’s a celebration of the Goddess Ostara (or Eostre), associated with dawn, spring, and fertility, and a welcoming of the returning sun. Let’s delve into how you can celebrate this vibrant Sabbat, whether you’re a solitary practitioner or part of a coven.
💫 Correspondences of Ostara
💫 Deities:
Ostara/Eostre, Persephone, Flora, Green Man, any deities associated with spring, dawn, and fertility.

💫 Symbols:
Eggs, rabbits, hares, flowers (especially daffodils, tulips, and crocuses), seeds, budding trees, lambs, butterflies.
💫 Herbs and Flowers:
Daffodils, tulips, crocuses, violets, honeysuckle, sage, and anything new and green.
💫 Stones:
Rose quartz, aquamarine, moonstone, and any light-colored crystals.
💫 Incense/Oils:
Floral scents like jasmine, rose, and violet, as well as light, fresh scents like lemon and sandalwood.
💫 Foods:
Eggs (decorated and plain), leafy greens, spring vegetables, seeds, honey cakes, and fruit.

______________________________
Ostara whispers of fresh starts and the quiet strength of budding life. It’s a time to turn inward, to examine the seeds of your own dreams, and gently coax them into bloom. Whether you find solace in solitary reflection or joy in shared celebration, take this moment to truly connect with the earth’s awakening. Listen to the birdsong, feel the sun’s gentle warmth, and let the promise of spring fill your heart. Plant your intentions with care, nurture them with kindness, and watch as your own unique potential unfolds. May your Ostara be filled with personal growth, renewed hope, and the blossoming of your truest self. Happy Ostara!

🌈 Ostara Ritual for Renewal
The Seed of Potential: An Ostara Ritual for Renewal
Choose a space where you feel connected to nature, whether it’s outdoors or a designated sacred space indoors.
Welcome, fellow seekers, to the vibrant dawn of Ostara. As the Earth awakens from its winter slumber, we too are called to embrace renewal and growth. This ritual is designed to honor the Spring Equinox, the moment of perfect balance, and to plant the seeds of our own potential.
__________________________
Preparation
🌈 Timing:
Perform this ritual on the Spring Equinox, ideally at dawn or during the day when the sun is high.
🌈 Location:
Choose a space where you feel connected to nature, whether it’s outdoors or a designated sacred space indoors
🌈 Altar:
Set up your Ostara altar with the correspondences mentioned in the previous blog. Include a small pot of soil, seeds (representing your intentions), and a bowl of fresh spring water.
🌈 Tools:
You will need candles (pastel colors), incense (floral or fresh scents), and a representation of the Goddess Ostara (or your chosen spring deity).
____________________________
⭐ The Ritual ⭐
🌈 Casting the Circle:
If you typically cast a circle, do so now, invoking the elements and guardians.
🌈 Invocation:
Light your candles and incense. Stand before your altar and say:
“Ostara, Goddess of Dawn and Spring, we welcome your light. The Earth awakens, and so do we. We gather here, at the point of perfect balance, to honor the return of life and the blooming of potential.”
🌈 Honoring the Equinox:
Take a moment to feel the balance of light and dark. Close your eyes and visualize the sun rising, bringing warmth and vitality to the Earth. Say:
“Day and night are equal, a moment of perfect harmony. We honor the balance within and without, the dance of light and shadow, and the promise of growth.”
🌈 Planting the Seeds of Intention:
Take the pot of soil and the seeds. As you hold the seeds, visualize your intentions for the coming season. What do you wish to cultivate in your life? Speak your intentions aloud, infusing the seeds with your energy.
“These seeds represent the potential within me. I plant them with intention, nurturing my dreams and aspirations. May they grow strong and vibrant, bringing forth the fruits of my labor.”
Plant the seeds in the soil.
🌈 Blessing the Seeds and Water:
Hold the bowl of spring water over the planted seeds. Say:
“Water of life, nourish these seeds of intention. May they be blessed with growth, vitality, and abundance.”
Sprinkle the water over the soil.
🌈 Meditation and Visualization:
Sit or stand comfortably. Close your eyes and visualize your intentions taking root and flourishing. See them growing into vibrant manifestations of your desires. Feel the warmth of the sun and the gentle breeze of spring.
🌈 Offering to Ostara:
Offer a small gift to Ostara, such as flowers, a decorated egg, or a poem. Say:
“Ostara, we thank you for the gifts of spring. We offer our gratitude and respect, and we celebrate the renewal of life.”
🌈 Grounding:
Take a few deep breaths, grounding yourself in the present moment. Feel the connection to the Earth and the energy of spring.
🌈 Releasing the Circle:
If you cast a circle, release it now, thanking the elements and guardians.
🌈 Closing:
Extinguish the candles and incense. Place the pot of seeds in a sunny location and water them regularly, nurturing your intentions as they grow.
🌈 Reflection:
After the ritual, take some time to journal about your experience. Reflect on your intentions and how you plan to nurture them throughout the spring and summer. This ritual is a powerful way to connect with the energies of Ostara and to embrace the potential for growth within yourself. May your spring be filled with joy, abundance, and renewal.

It's Shameless Promo Thursday, wherein I remind you that I write books that you might be interested in (in an attempt to make a living from my writing).
Today's pick: The Wiccan Wellness Book! (2nd edition)
I've long been skeptical of most self-help books. So I wrote one that's a little different.
* You don't have to be Wiccan, just open to Earth-oriented spirituality
* It's for real people with real problems and not as much time or energy as they'd like.
* Realistic goals, practical hands-on activities, do what you can, when you can
* M/B/S journal, plant partners, wellness rituals, natural healthcare resources
* Imperfect human beings experiencing healing as a sacred journeyDetails on my website (link in bio)
