The Month of Unity In this episode, Michele discusses some of the magical correspondences to the month of Sivan. Sources Gemini (Sivan) The Month of Sivan According to the Book of Formation Quote of the Week It is a lesson of Gemini, the twins, that polarity exists within us all the time. Therefore, as we enter this month, and always, let us not fall to the mistake of the mind that says, “I have done something negative, I am now negative,” or, “I have done something positive, so the totality of me is positive now and I don’t have to worry anymore.” Because if we truly understand this teaching, then we know that the greatness of the Light of our soul exists even at the time of great negativity, even at the time of great darkness, and vice versa.   - Michael Berg Jewitch Calendar This week’s Parsha: Nasso Shabbat Candle Lighting Time: 8:08 PM EST Havdalah: 9:18 PM EST Next week’s Parsha: Behaalotecha Shabbat Candle Lighting Time: 8:11 PM EST Light Holiday Candles: 9:21 PM EST Jewitch Torah Study Q & A Do you have a Jewitchy question you’re itching to have an answer to?

Miriam the Water Witch In this episode Michele discusses a new look at Miriam and her role in the Exodus of the Hebrews. Quote of the Week Miriam, the drumming prophetess who danced at the shore of the Sea of Reeds, is like other prophetesses in the ancient world who used the drum to represent the rhythm of time and the heartbeat of the Divine Mother.9 Miriam combines the air-ripples of the drum with the waters of birth. According to rabbinic legend, Miriam is a midwife. In Nisan, she midwives us into the flow of time, and on Passover she shows to us the Divine face of dancer, drummer, musician, and healer. - Rabbi Jill Hammer Jewitch Calendar Rosh Chodesh Sivan is Tuesday May 31.
