The Bright Side of Empathy
Och, okay. I have been seeing these articles about “The Dark Side” of being an empath or some nonsense like that. I admit, being an empath is not an easy gig and it can be pretty rough, especially in a society where emotions are not only unvalued but actively shamed. No doubt, it’s rough and…

Empaths Gone Wild!
I had a pretty weird childhood and I grew up in a weird household, so it’s no surprise that the road I’ve taken (which is only visible where I have already passed because I am creating it as I go) is also pretty weird. And it seems that the older I get, the weirder things…

Tarot Readings – There’s an App for That!
In one of the groups I am in online, the topic of tarot apps (applications for your phone, tablet, or computer) with electronic card decks came up. I think everyone I knows has had the same initial reaction: “what?! no! Can’t be!? Well… maybe…?” It’s that moment of confusion, rejection, and then reconsideration. So, I…

Mike Yip, Photographer, Find Enclave of White Ravens on Vancouver Island
As I’m sure you’ve gathered from the name of this website (CrowSong Lodge, in case you forgot), I LOVE Crows… but, really, all corvids (the scientific family that includes jackdaws, ravens, crows, magpies, and more). And Ravens, of course, have a very special place in my heart. Crows and Ravens, especially, have long been considered…

The Witch’s Jar – Good and Bad
Hallo all! So, I was thinking about this after writing my last piece on the cleansing and blessing rituals I enjoy for Samhain. For those of you unfamiliar with the Witch’s Jar, let me tell you about it. It’s a curse where you take odious things, such as urine, feces, rusty nails, broken glass, and…

Writing on Samhain
So, those who ask me what Halloween traditions I celebrate are told about two very similar rituals that I do. One is to let go of the old and cleanse myself of their energies, and the other is to bring in the bounty of what I want for the next year. The rituals are very…

A Sigil Artist Named Rose
Hi there! You guys may remember that I touched on the topic of sigils, or more specifically, runes and symbols WAY back when I started this crazy old journey! Like, a really long time ago! I MOVED my channel to it’s new home 6 years ago and this video was already several years old by…

The Between Places
Weird phrase, right? But let’s talk about those Between Places. The phrase refers to the places where one place becomes another place, like doors, passageways, forks in the road, etc. It is in these between places that fairy magic is abundant. If you think that means that fairies are absolutely everywhere, then you’re completely right!…
