I had the best time with Glenda Dawson! Here we go, loved doing this interview, it was more like a fun girl chat. When we were done, I said, "I wonder how much trouble I've gotten myself into."

Chronicles of a Madd Housewife... coming soon!


















This book is dedicated to everyone who has experienced the insanity of a toxic relationship and have shouted: "I should write a book!"

I have, so I did.

Part 1: Coffee & Ruminations

Coffee and Ruminations is a skewered look at an individual's very personal headlong journey through a toxic relationship. Names and locations have been changed to protect the anonymity of the individuals whose story is laid bare in these pages.

Part 2: Things You Should Know

This section is full of issues you may be dealing with while you're in the midst of this toxic experience. Everything from how to recognize emotional instability, how to know when flirting turns into cheating, what to do about a partner who's not over their ex, a look at the serial over-lapper, and so much more.

Part 3: Healing & Rebuilding, or Moving On

So, the dust has settled, now what? This section will give you advice on knowing when it's time to abandon ship, how to deal with relationship trauma, surviving repeated infidelity, setting boundaries with an ex, and more information to help you heal and recover.



There's a little goddess in every woman... yes, there is, and you're going to find the little goddess in you with the help of this book. Take an unorthadox look at the history, myths, and legends of goddesses from around the world. Learn how to tap into their energy and harness it to aid you in your mortal journey.

Along the way, let's "Face the Mirror", and take a good look at what you need to concentrate on to be the best you can be and let your inner goddess shine.


"This book is written to help you explore and experiment and discover a spirituality that you might not even be aware of. This book is here to help you embrace your inner pagan, to reconnect with your ancient roots and an earthy spirituality based in nature and magic and inspiration."

It is my wish that this beautiful and inspiring handbook & journal becomes your companion as you explore spirituality and seek enlightenment.



BEST SELLER!
The Gray Witch's Grimoire @ Amazon


What makes this book unique? The world of the gray witch has been largely avoided, misrepresented, or glossed over with various books geared gingerly towards 'protection magic'. These books, though informative and well written as they may be, have totally missed the spirit of the gray witch -- who she really is, how she relates to the world of shadow and light, and exactly what she's willing to do to stand her ground. In our society 'dark' is automatically viewed as 'evil'; and 'light' is automatically viewed as 'good'. 

We're expected to live completely within one realm and to totally avoid the other. This creates imbalance and is a great injustice to the true spirit of the ancient wise woman. This book puts matters to right and gives the public a view of just what the gray witch is -- and what she isn't. The gray witch does not live in a world of chaos or unbridled black magic. She has a code of honor, a sense of propriety, and a relevance in today's society.




Natural Magick the Gray Witch Way explores the magick and mystery of old world traditions from a unique perspective, that of the Gray Witch. While the modern world and everything in it are often viewed as either black or white, there are those magickal practitioners who recognize a more realistic normality ~ that shady gray area where the lines are blurred, and the adventuresome practitioners will discover that witchcraft can consist of power and justice, as well as love and peace. And in this realization comes an epiphany, one is not so different from the other. Natural Magick the Gray Witch Way is an excellent companion book to The Gray Witch’s Grimoire!


Follow author, Amythyst Raine, through the realm of Tarot, uncovering life's mysteries along the way. Explore esoteric connections through the cards with astrology, numerology, and the Kabbalah. Delve into criminal cases explored intimately through the intricacies of the tarot and intuitive reading. Connect with and experience the human psyche through the court cards. Discover tarot's power within the magick of the occult world. Begin your journey through the realm of Tarot today.


This book takes you on an inspirational journey into the realm of tarot. Traditionalism and mediocrity are left behind. The author flings open doors and expands horizons to reveal amazing connections with tarot and it's intimate influence on our world. As you make your way through this tarot study guide and workbook, you will develop a very unique and personal connection with the tarot and a deeper understanding of yourself.

Whether you're interested in learning how to read the tarot, or you're ready to fine tune your skills, or you'd like a completely new perspective on the cards, this is your book. The physical book is actually set up like a workbook, there's room for you to fill out and actually complete each tarot spread shown here. Also, I do add an unusual twist, and that's my own personal connection with each of the minor arcana cards, and it can get mighty personal, let me tell you.


Tarot for Grownups is a no-nonsense book written to tell it like it is in a black and white, cut-and-dried way. This book is written for grownups, and it looks at their world through the magick and mystery of the tarot, addressing adult issues with unabashed candor and a healthy dose of sarcasm.

If you haven’t already purchased a copy, you can follow the links provided here. This book is written for adults, so expect a healthy dose of sarcasm, some explicit language now and then, adult topics, and a healthy dose of realism when it comes to the interpretations, as well as the personality profiles for the court cards. There’s not a fluffy bunny to be found here, and I concentrate on the nitty-gritty of life. We have plenty of tarot books out there shrouded in rose colored glasses, fairies, the white light, and fantasy. This is definitely not the case with Tarot for Grownups.



The Spiritual Feminist @ Amazon

Crystal Clear
Because blogging is cheaper than therapy


I embrace arm-chair psychology in all of its mundane glory. You'll find topics at this page, everything from "The Psychology of Women Attracted to Serial Killers", to "The Psychology of People Who Pretend to Like You". Some of these posts are inspired by personal experiences and the desire for clarity, and some of these posts are inspired by a video I've watched, an article I've read, or a dream that inspired me to ask questions.

Sources for each post are listed at the bottom of each post, and as you can see, a lot of research and time and thought has gone into "Crystal Clear".
Soulful Meditations


I post short and impromptu readings at this page. Sometimes these readings are meant for me and I share them because I believe there's someone out there who will share a connection with the same topic; and sometimes I am inspired by Spirit to post a reading that I know is for someone specifically, directly. When I receive this kind of inspiration, I don't question it, I just do it.



I've been writing books now for sixteen years, with a total of 11 publications, one a best seller, which surprised me as much as it must have some of my associates. Posts at this page are not just filled with endless boring links, but are filled to the brim with generous excerpts from the books themselves, as well as inspired blog posts on many of the topics found in my books.
