La Bona Dea's Journal of Everyday Magic

Spring always reminds me of being a teenager. I wanted so much to be grown and in charge of my life! I was learning about boy/girl relationships, how I liked to dress, how I felt when I wore Kissing Potion…. yeah, remember that sticky sweet lip gloss… bubble-gum flavor! Yeah! I remember the angst of […]

A little check in with the Tarot…. I spent last year writing a book. (Still needs the rewrite and to be published…. but WRITTEN!) I am so pleased with myself. I had an essay published, a poem too. I have dedicated my time to this website and expanding La Bona Dea. I am a Sag. […]

WHAT IS THAT CAT DOING HERE? I am full of talk, and I do like to have my way, but being independent is not one of my strong suits. I prefer to be the boss sometimes, that way I feel independent, but I am with the crowd. Bast came to visit me as did the […]

At our last gathering of Manifesting with the Divine, my meditation led me toward networking. Yikes! That is scary for me, even though I talk…. a lot, it is tough for me to go out and to talk about me. What I do and who I am, and why I am. Hm. How can I […]
