La Bona Dea's Journal of Everyday Magic

Storytelling which touches the heart and awakens the soul

WELCOME TO THE CAULDRON


Become an Ordained Priestess in 2025 !

The Wheel of The Year is in Full Spin

This year the Wheel has been in full motion and running downhill! The ride began with many changes happening in my life, the beauty of birth and death, becoming a grandmother for the first time, and finding my pace as a spiritual leader and High Priestess for our Iseum of Priestesses.

Invited guests came to our Imbolc celebration held in Rohnert Park. We had over a dozen women come to celebrate the wakening and quickening of our Mother, and we rejoiced as Brigid returned to walk across the land.

We walked the Labyrinth and opened our vision to what will come to us this year.

Baby Lilith arrived just before Ostara. Naturally, I think she is the most perfect baby that ever visited this realm!
My stepdad passed away the evening he met Lilith. I imagine their souls passing from one realm to another as if passing a baton. Tag-you’re-it! I love this picture–it is very precious to me.

Ostara’s warmth and rain brought many fungi to the woods. I walked the big grandkids around and we had a ball finding flowers, mushrooms, and even a few banana slugs. Time with them is like living in another reality. They see things through the eyes of youth! I love how I feel when I am with them.

Beltane arrived and we headed to Isis Oasis in Geyserville to celebrate the Maiden and her ripe lust for life. We shared in song, dance, crafting, and of course, feasting. Sing Dance Make Love In Her Name! Blessed Be!

Summer Solstice we celebrated the Mother in all her Fullness along the California Redwoods in Gualala.
We held a circle in the sunshine, danced the Spiral Dance, and again, made our way through crafting and feasting. We lit a bonfire and manifested what we most desire at this midway through summer.

We gathered for our annual Priestess Reunion for Lammas/Lughnasadh. Goddess Mall, a Talent Show, and so much food! Of course, visiting and catching up are the joys of this reunion. The Iseum as established in 1998 and this is our 26 years of gathering.


Mabon was celebrated at Stafford Lake in Novato where we gathered around to shed the crusty old year off our backs, bring in new hope, plan for rebirth. We shared what we must release to make room for growth, and we held one another as we prepare to enter into the darkest days on the Wheel of the Year. Next up, Samhain.

The Iseum of Mary Isis Samhain gathering took place in Geyserville at Isis Oasis Sanctuary. We stayed overnight in the Cabernet Cabin and performed ritual and held circle in the Temple.

May all beings in this world and beyond remember how precious life is. What will we do, what will YOU do, with your one and precious life on this earth? Cast away your fears and step into the NOW for NOW and LOVE is all there is. May you be at peace, may you be happy, and may you be well. So Mote It BE!! So it IS!

Yule and the Turn of the Wheel are up next!

Welcome, 2024! Let’s begin with some great play and moon magic! I am hosting a full moon circle on Thursday, Jan 25 (in person and on Zoom) from 11 am–to–1 pm. Meet new friends –some with old souls– with like minds, and delightful visions. The vibrations rise when we gather and cast intentions, and the universe listens.–

Sing, Dance, Read, RISE!

January’s Wolf Moon invites us to wash away the past. We will hold a salt purification ritual to step into the new year.

This month’s full Moon falls on a Thursday, a day for financial success. We will cast a prosperity spell for personal wealth and worldwide abundance.

Bring positive vibes and clear thoughts when you can join in person, and if you are Zooming, you can have a few other items ready…..

What you may want on your Altar: Silver coins, abundance attracting crystals such as pyrite, aventurine, carnelian, citrine, and malachite. Clear crystal quarts or your luck stone will work, too.

What you will need for the ritual: a dish of salt

What you will need for the spell: GREEN CANDLE (or white; white is a perfectly good stand-in for any color or intention), a gold-colored KEY that opens nothing. . . an uncut key from the hardware store works, and your WALLET

Suggested donation is $15; light refreshments will be served.

Email me, HP Tina, at mammadeason@gmail.com for a Zoom link or location. Blessed Be and Happy New Year!

Lammas Eve, 2023

Welcome, Most Precious Beauties, to Lammas Eve!
We are on the brink of our Harvest. We are about to reap our rewards, kick our failures, rise with the sun, and bury our worries.

Blessings from the Goddess surround us every day. Our breath, just the act of inhaling her, our step, the act of walking upon her, and oh, the glory of drinking her down on a hot day! And let’s not forget the ever-striking spark that sets our souls on fire!

We are so grateful for this beautiful, difficult, marvelous life. Let us pause a moment and absorb the subtle change in the air. . . for She has shifted and we are now aware of our bounty.

Demeter, Corn Mothers, Ceres, Isis, and all great Goddesses of agriculture and harvest, we honor you at Lammas!

This year, I seemed to have grabbed a packet of seeds and without looking at the label, tossed them into the fields. Imagine my surprise at what grew out there! A full ten rows of Humble, four rows of Grace, an acre of Compassion, and out there, way out on the south forty, there are bushels of Wisdom waiting to be plucked from the trees. There will be a variety of Wisdom to consume this winter!

No matter our intentions or plans, what must be will be. And when we are lucky, we follow the moonlight to our dreams and they intersect with the path the Goddess has paved. We have no choice but to walk, but she lovingly offers her hand along the way.

I hope your days have been filled with recognizing what you have cultivated this year. I have read many emails about accomplishments and struggles that have been overcome. I also know that some of the paths have been rocky, sketchy, and downright frightening, but as Priestesses and strong women, you have courageously taken every stride. Keeping faith near, and accepting opportunity as it arises. (And if you haven’t, it’s time to start.)

At Lammas Eve I invite you to take a moment to wipe the sweat from your brow. You have labored hard and your sweet bounty awaits!

Break bread. Give thanks. Recognize your sacrifice, and honor your rewards. Blessed be, so Mote it Be, and So it Is!

Blessed Be! Blessed Be the Witches, Blessed Be the Wise Women!

For this gathering, you might like to sip a cup of tea and nibble a cookie or two, and have your materials ready for Magic! You’ll need about a 4×4 square of cloth, or near that size, any kind is fine. I like to use dark fabric for magic bundles. Then, go on a scavenger hunt for herbs from your kitchen or garden. Also, some ribbon, yarn, or jute to tie your bundle together.

Choose a purpose or intention for your bundle and then gather at least three of the magical properties to fill your bundle.

Protection: Rosemary, Fennel, Garlic, Basil, Barley, Clove, Cactus, Aloe

Psychic Power: Rosemary, Orange, Peppermint, Borage, Marigold, Cinnamon, Bay, Wormwood

Bring your favorite Divinating Tools– Tarot, Pendulum, Mystic Cards, or Runes, whatever you use to communicate, meditate, or concentrate to find answers from beyond.


We have plenty of divination tools to share. We will share readings and explore the many ways to retrieve information from beyond the veils.
And, as always, we will have our specially made Samhain Chai and a crafty charm to make which will carry you through the winter’s darkness.

WE HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE THE EVENT INDOORS AS IT IS QUITE DAMP AFTER THE RAIN. WE ASK THAT VACCINATED PERSONS ATTEND. I have plenty of room for Divination Readings throughout the house, so we can spread out. Thank you!

SPRING CELEBRATION

Intention Setting with Candle Magic

THURSDAY, MARCH 12 from 5-8 pm Ritual begins at 6 pm.
At my home in Rohnert Park
$20 donation includes all materials and light refreshments will be served

Candle Magic Rebirth Celebration

Spring offers the opportunity for renewal and rebirth. It is a magical time of discovering what wonderful and intuitive gifts we were born with, and how we might tap into them. At this gathering, we will examine how to unblock our gifts and apply them to our daily lives.

Discovering our life-work and sharing our passions are ways to express ourselves and honor Mother Earth.

What will we do at this gathering?

Learn to use candles to set intentions; dressing candles, writing sigils, and selecting proper colors are a part of the preparation.

We will hold s Sacred Circle and listen to a guided meditation focusing on our personal gifts from the universe.

We will pass the talking stick and share if we desire, the images or feelings that come up as well as what may be blocking us during creative times.

We will set our intentions through candle magic and as our candles burn, releasing our intent to the universe, we will partake in light refreshments.

I am proud to announce that two new Priestesses will be assisting us with this year’s first ritual at La Bona Dea

Please contact me with any questions or to reserve your spot! and celebrate the arrival of springtime!

Candle Magic and Keeping Focused Intent Strong at the Fiery time of Year!

Candle magic sigils

A bit about Chaos magic: Chaos magic is a “set it and forget it” magic where we can perform our ritual and so the Universe carries our wish. To do this we must be specific in our intentions and learn to use our intuition to guide us for our best possible outcome. (You can even say “best possible outcome” knowing that you are allowing all things that come to you to be in your best interest.)

We hope to see you there!

February 2016 DELAYED TO SUMMER 2016
Priestess Apprenticeship Begins!
Travel with blessed Mother Earth as completes a full cycle during the Wheel of the Year. Meet the Goddess archetypes, follow the seasons and learn how the ebbs and flows of nature reside in our beings. This journey will introduce you to your personal Priestess-hood.

This is an 8 Sabbat journey identifying your personal power, strengths, challenges, and more as we embark together and bond through sisterhood priestess-ing. We will practice sacred circles; learn about traditional pagan holy days, rituals and goddess archetypes; magical tool crafting and more. Each Sabbat will be from 9am-3pm and the cost is $650 for the yearlong program. Fee includes materials and most supplies. Ordination at the end of the Apprenticeship is optional, additional fee required.

Sabbats will be held primarily in Petaluma.
