Buddhism, Magic, and the Ethics of Spells Integrating Karma, the Bodhisattva Vows, and the Dharma into Witchcraft

“Buddhist Witch” might sound like a contradiction.
But karma, the Bodhisattva Vows, and the Dharma all show up in my spellwork as magic rooted in ethics, interconnection, and vow.

I Did a Love Spell—And It Actually Worked I cast a spell, not to control love, but to welcome it. Here’s the story. And the ritual.

I did my love spell during a Libra moon, which is ruled by Venus. But if you're calling in love now, the upcoming New Moon in Cancer on June 25 is a beautiful time to root in care, belonging, and a love that feels like home.

Believe the Cassandras On Titan: The OceanGate Disaster, Narcissism, and the Cost of Ignored Warnings

I watched the new @netflix.com doc about Titan: Oceangate, the Titanic submersible that imploded a few years ago. And it has me thinking a lot about a larger cultural pattern that destroys truth-tellers. Charisma isn’t wisdom. Confidence isn’t care. And power will gaslight you if it can.

“Silence Will Never Be the Way” Buddhist Practitioners Gather to Confront Genocide and Spiritual Betrayal

“Silence will never be the way.” Not when genocide is happening. Not in the name of the Dharma.

I recently attended a powerful online gathering about Buddhist complicity, Gaza, and the vow to speak even when it’s costly.

"For me, my Higher Power is the Dharma (the Buddha’s teachings), the moon, the elements, the ancestors, the web of interbeing. I found sacredness in zazen and spellwork, in shadow integration and ritual offering."

When Sangha Isn’t Safe Zen, Betrayal, and the Search for Trustworthy Community

You know when you love something enough to stay with it, even after it’s broken your heart? That’s me and Zen.

I write about betrayal, sangha, and ways to find a community where truth is welcome and practice doesn’t require silence around harm.

You’re Not Smudging—So Stop Calling It That Why it’s important to know your terms in sacred spaces

You’re probably not smudging, so stop calling it that. If it’s not your tradition, there are better ways to name what you’re doing. I’ll explain--
✨ what smudging actually is
✨ what smoke cleansing can be
✨ how to practice with clarity + respect

NO Is a Powerful Spell. So Is FUCK OFF. On boundaries, power, and the sacred practice of refusal.

“No” is a boundary. “F*ck this” is a spell.

Let’s talk about anger as sacred fuel, about what happens when we stop performing grace and start protecting what’s sacred.
⚡ why anger is holy
⚡ how “no” is a form of clarity
⚡ when walking away is spiritual power

The Scam of Being 25 Spoiler Alert: This Isn’t the Best Time of Your Life

Being 25 is a scam. You’re broke, raw, performing chill, and everyone keeps calling it “your prime.” I wrote about HBO's “Girls," Lena Dunham, unlikeability, and the tenderness in looking back with a decade of distance.

Is Quaker Parenting the Next “It” Trend? Move over, gentle parenting, there’s a quietly radical method on the rise.

ok but… is Quaker parenting kinda iconic?? 👀

This @theatlantic.com has me thinking a 400-year-old faith tradition might actually have the gentlest, chillest, least ego-driven parenting vibe out there—no sticker charts required.

You are right. All of us mothers should center all of our mothering energy around ending the brutality being committed against the mothers and children in Gaza (everyone in Gaza is someone’s baby). When I look at my son, I think of the mothers in gaza. Which is why I keep fighting for you.
