I'd like to say a huge thank-you to everyone who came out for the first Full Moon Night at the Simple Life in Frederick, MD. Folks, if you haven't been there and you are anywhere near Frederick, MD, it's about to become your favorite little metaphysical shop. Am I bias because Helen, the owner, lets me take over her kitchen to teach Lilith classes? Maybe. But it also has an ENORMOUS herb wall, a room full of crystals and stones, and is loaded with metaphysical items from local artists that you won't find anywhere else.
It's on Patrick Street -119 East Patrick Street, to be exact- and is LOVELY. Right downtown. You know how some people just have a magick eye for display? Helen has The Eye. More info on the shop at: https://www.shopthesimplelife.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoq5EF93CZ9UVVhyyhyZQAdhrf_kbLJ1o0C8BdUMDuxHph0yFQSr
Walking into The Simple Life feels like wandering into a Witch's cottage from a fairy tale. Last night we held our first Full Moon Gathering there for Imbolc. I was blown away by the response. We had a big group, and people brought food, and we made Brigid corn husk dolls and Brigid's crosses together. People trekked up from The Darkflower Collective in Winchester. It was a fabulous night of community and a bright spot during our dark days of late.
So, we're doing it again. And again. AND AGAIN. Here are the dates for 2026:
FULL MOON CIRCLE: THE DARK GODDESS
May 30th, 2:30-4:30 PM

August 29th, 2:30-4:30 PM

FULL MOON CIRCLE: HECATE, KEEPER OF KEYS

NOON GATHERING:
2:30 GATHERING:
We hope you can join us for a Full Moon Night or one of the other classes going on at the Simple Life. Safe spaces to gather are more important than ever, and Helen's shop is a bright light in my life.
We're going to make things better, people. With magick, and community, and remembering how powerful we truly are. One gathering at a time.
If you'd like to attend a Darkflower class or gathering and funds are tight for you, please write me. I have a limited number of discounted tuitions and volunteer positions available. There's also some free gatherings that pop up on my site (check out the one at A Galaxy of Happy Art with The Darkflower Collective in March.)
And thank you for supporting Pagan education and my small business and Helen's. It matters so much to us.
