April Quotes
“Beneath these fruit-tree boughs that shed
Their snow-white blossoms on my head,
With brightest sunshine round me spread
Of spring’s unclouded weather,
In this sequestered nook how sweet
To sit upon my orchard-seat!
And birds and flowers once more to greet,
My last year’s friends together.”
– William Wordsworth

Learn Religions: Beltane Planting Ritual for Solitaries
By Patti Wigington
Updated on May 09, 2019
This ritual is designed for the solitary practitioner, but it can easily be adapted for a small group to perform together. It’s a simple rite that celebrates the fertility of the planting season, and so it’s one that should be performed outside

MBG: Energy Reading April 19-25, 2022: Clearing Out Limiting Beliefs To Remember Our Worth
Each week, join author and energy healer Natasha Levinger as she reads the communal energy to predict what’s in store for us in the days ahead.
When we are young we don’t yet know who we are, so we believe what the people around us tell us about ourselves. Unfortunately, sometimes what we’re told is not the full picture or even the truth.

Patheos-Pagan: Remaining Positive in a Dark World
APRIL 18, 2022 BY LISA WAGONER
A few years ago, I wrote a blog on Witch, Indeed called “Being A Positive Pagan in a Dark World“. It seemed to hit a nerve about the topic of positivity. And it remains the blog entry I receive the most notes from, still to this day.

Inner Journey:
FOLLOW THE 80/20 RULE
“Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets.”
— Nido Qubein
The 80/20 rule says that on a list of 10 tasks, only 2 of those tasks will return 80% of the value of the entire list. Look at your ‘to do’ list for today. Which tasks are directly related to what you most want in life? Find the 2 high value items on your list and tackle them first. These tasks are the ones that really move us forward.
Many of us actively avoid the top 2 priorities because they are more challenging than the rest. If they are to lead us to worthy goals, they are undoubtedly asking us to move into new territory in thinking and acting, and this can be scary. But this is also REWARDING!
“Don’t kid yourself: it’s because you’re doing all those C’s (low priorities) and NOT because you haven’t any time, that you don’t get to do your A’s.”
— Alan Lakein

A Note from the Universe
The evolution of faith usually spanning millions of years, typically looks like this:
Not believing in “the Universe.”
Believing in “the Universe,” but secretly doubting it, too.
Fearing “the Universe,” but secretly loving it, too.
Loving “the Universe,” but secretly fearing it, too.
Realizing that “the Universe” was you, all along.
Thanks for having me,
The Universe

Work
“Working is so satisfying that if we didn’t have to work to eat, we’d have to invent some other reason for doing it.”
-Andrew S. Rooney
Can you just picture Andy Rooney sitting on the set of “60 Minutes” and talking about his topic of the week? I can hear his voice saying just what he said above! Aren’t we funny about our work? When we enjoy what we’re doing there’s this timelessness about it. It is satisfying and gratifying. It is fun!
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: Death
A change has been in the air for some time and today the actual transformation could happen. There’s nothing to be afraid of, or to dread, or to fear losing. Room is being made and energy is being set aside for something new and better for you. It could be something small or something large, but whatever it is will be meaningful and affect your daily life.
