Take this sweet dew from the earth,
Take the honey.
I will help you on your way.
I will give you strength on your path.
~ Mayan Poem~
As we continue to enter into the dark half of the year we bear witness to the death of nature. This awareness allows us to return into the depths of ourselves. At this time, we yearn for gentle support to digest and allow ourselves to process our lessons. This December Limpias ~ Spiritual En...

New Moon in Taurus May 15th + Uranus Moves into Taurus
New Moon in Taurus May 15th + Uranus Moves into Taurus
On May 15th at 7:45 am we are experiencing a new moon in Taurus. New moons are always a good time to plant seeds for the upcoming cycle, and Taurus is a particularly fertile sign occurring in spring as the earth is blooming and new growth is everywhere.
This is no ordinary new moon, as a few hours later the planet Uranus- the planet of the unexpected, unusual and unstable- moves into the sign of Taurus. Uranus is one of th...
The Wiccan Series: The Practice of Connecting and Wiccan Spring Spell
The Wiccan Series: The Practice of Connecting and Wiccan Spring Spell
It is time for life. The sun has broken ground with the Spring Equinox on March 20th, 2018, a celebration Wiccans and pagans call Ostara. With the return of the sun, it continues to warm the Earth, and to invite life. As the Earth warms, the seeds within the Earth, the bulbs, and the roots, spring to life and make their way towards the light. The light calls, becons, and draws towards it life, and life responds with a thirst for the sun, a relationship with the sun that is...

Welcome to 2018!
Welcome to 2018!
Here in the deep freeze of Toronto’s winter, we at The Rock Store are celebrating a pivotal year for the store, and you our community. 2017 brought monumental change as we moved homes from Markham Street to Harbord Street, and in the spirit of celebration and growth, we extend heart-felt thanks to you for being with us on this ride to anchor our new home in grounded earth offerings.
At this start of a new calendar year, we are often encouraged to reflect on the year we are ...

Major Astrological Transits of 2018 by Emily Todd
We began 2018 with a full supermoon in Cancer on January 1st. Cancer is about home, nurturing, family and sensitivity- marking an emotional beginning to the year. This moon also highlights the elements of water (Cancer) and earth (Capricorn), a theme this coming year.
Right on the heels of this full moon, Uranus stations direct at 24◦ Aries on Janu...
The Wiccan Series: The Dark Night of the Wise Crone Draws us
The Wiccan Series: The Dark Night of the Wise Crone Draws us
By Lady Samantha Coven TCOTM 3rd Degree High Priestess in the Norse Tradition of Witchcraft
The trees are bare, the ground grows cold, the animals that remain fall silent, and the darkening days, are all markers that winter is now upon us.
The chill in the air states clearly its intention of slowing us down, to reflect in our visible breath, the importance of warmth and the light we hold within.
In the Wiccan tradition, we experience the Goddess in her old age...
Saturn into Capricorn - Freedom within Structure
Saturn into Capricorn - Freedom within Structure
Saturn moves into its home sign of Capricorn on December 19th and will stay there until the spring of 2020 when it begins to transition toward the next sign. As it shifts out of Sagittarius, we can feel like we are tying up loose ends from the lessons we learned the last 2.5 years- the ways that Saturn has asked us to restructure through this sign. You may notice some themes coming up again for a final clearing- take the opportunity to make the shifts necessary for your growth.

By Lady Samantha Coven TCOTM 3rd Degree High Priestess in the Norse Tradition of Witchcraft
There is something to be said about the energy of autumn, particularly in the weeks leading up to Samhain, the Witches New Year, pronounced sow-in in Gaelic. The magic that fills the air with the presence of spirit, the decay of life we witness around us, the migration of birds, fall...
