Things are shifting. So many of our coven mates are moving right now - leaving countries, states, towns, apartments for new environments. Maybe it's the big move of Neptune into Aries (thanks Killian for this astrological assessment), but something in the air and stars is whispering, or sometimes shouting, "it's time to move on."
Whether your Big Move is literal or metaphorical, to all those in flux, motion, or upheaval, we cast a spell of ease and protection, and offer three spell songs to help you move your way towards your destination.
For a joyous move, have Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up:
Just move on up for peace you will find
Move on up and keep on wishing
Take nothing less than the supreme best
Just move on up to a greater day
With just a little faith
If you put your mind to it, you can surely do it
For a wistful move, have Tom Petty - Time To Move On:
It's time to move on, it's time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, time to get going
And if you've just absolutely had enough, take Janis Joplin's Move Over:
I can't take it no more, baby, and furthermore, I don't intend to.
The episode on the podcast this week, the halfway point in our Spring Kinship season, is an episode about how wild beach grass holds shifting banks together, how it holds on but not too tight, how it stays long enough to encourage life back into barren places and then moves on. And there's a message of love from 6 year old May in there too.
That's the medicine that's showing up: we make our calls, attend our protests, support our libraries and museums, do what we can in the bodies we have to insist upon love and protection.

Witchcraft 101-3: Sigils
What is a sigil? How do we make them? How do symbols enter and change reality with their creation?
"Novices and experts to gather together to learn and teach some of the basics of Witchcraft! Bring your favourite modes, stories and resources!
I'll do a brief introduction to the topic, then we'll open the floor to questions and discussions! My hope is that the Sigil-crafting Fluent will share their knowledge, and the Sigil Newbies will share their queries in a "There's No Such Thing As A Stupid Question" kind of environment."
