I often wonder why I blog things. Part of it, of course, is to just have a place to think about it out loud. I suppose I could use a journal, but a journal doesn’t have commenters who throw lightbulbs at me, helping me refine my idea. And there are dangers associated with keeping your …

Discrimination
(I think we all saw this one coming.) I heard about PantheaCon 2012 (no, I did not attend though I wanted to), picked up my ten-foot pole, put down my ten-foot pole, and walked away calmly. (Wording stolen from a friend.) Then I came back screaming holding a blue bucket. Because apparently, I cannot leave …
Arachne and Her Children
Since choosing a name, one that literally means I’m becoming the spider, I discovered some new music (really the wrong word, there — the music existed before, so it’s not new; just new to me). Specifically an UK band, and I can send my thanks out to Ms. Dirty for posting a song of theirs …
Name Chosen!
Some of you may have noticed that I’ve chosen my name for this blog and all of Pagandom (which, I think, is the word I shall be using for the erstwhile pagan community; it’s shorter than “Wizarding World” and doesn’t hold as many possible copyright issues). I went with Spinner. There were two yes comments …
Follow-up on Dedication Blogs
I’ve followed through with my idea to create different dedication blogs to my gods, and have created one so far. Milk and Honey: life serving Brighid. Only one post so far, but there should be another one on next Sunday. The link to this blog and the others (as I make them) will be appearing …
Aspberger’s, boundaries, and alienation from pagandom
Roughly a month ago, Star Foster wrote a post on being pagan and having Aspberger’s. I wanted to cry when I read it because it speaks so clearly to my own experience. I have Aspberger’s. Like Star, I haven’t had a diagnosis from a doctor (for various reasons)*, but I have taken the DSM-IV test …

Names
This is not a post on the power of names. I wish it were; it’s a favourite subject of mine. But I fear I do not have the words in my head for such a post. Not yet, anyway. No, this post is a bit more mundane — but I hope y’all will be able …
Experiences with Devotional Dance
A while back I purchased T. Thorn Coyle‘s Devotional Dance DVD so I could start working through Evolutionary Witchcraft and actually know what the heck I was doing. (I can’t learn dance moves from a book. I just can’t.) It arrived right before I left for Orlando, so I promised myself I’d start with dancing …
I won a lovely blog award! (Why, I’m not sure. But I did!)
SatSekhem gave this to me, with a very sweet note. I blushed. A lot. Rules 1. You must thank the person in your blog entry that awarded you the award. (Done!) 2. You have to list seven things that make you happy. (See below.) 3. You then tag seven blogs that you think qualify for …

Candles (and my ridiculous obsession with them)
For this week’s PBP entry, I’m going to talk about candles. I’m obsessed with candles. Seriously. Take me into a store that’s having a sale on candles and just try and stop me from buying them, why don’t you. (You will be injured. Fair warning.) Actually, I think that’s one of the main reasons I …
