QotD: Sept. 25th, 2013
HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly, …

Everyone unravels just a bit in the dark. Arachne’s Song, Dyonisis
(things we should keep away from Morag)
This theme has different types of post formats, and “Status” is one of them. Now that I have discovered this, I expect to post here more often. ETA: though it seems, on further exploration of this post type, that they do not allow comments or permalinks. So perhaps I will not use them as often …
Rainy Fall Morning
It is almost 8am. I’ve been up for three and a half hours. I slept for seven and a half (five of those uninterrupted, which is a big deal for me). It is rainy and gray, which I love, during my favourite season of the year, and I am simply relishing the fact that I …
Fire in the Head

Mabon
Let’s face it, I was never going to write about mandrakes. What the heck do I know about them? Nothing, that’s what. So, Mabon. IE, the Autumn Equinox, according to the Neo-Wiccan wheel of the year. It’s tomorrow, officially. I don’t follow the WotY, but I do. It’s this sort of weird…thing. Solstices and equinoxes …
Witch Skills: Shielding
Shielding is a pretty essential tool for — well, for witches, but also for anyone else, really. I’ve used shielding effectively against unwanted physical contact as well as unwanted energetic contact. We’ve all met someone, or know someone in our friends circle, who is a total energy drain. Sometimes they don’t even know they’re doing …
Santa as a Secular God
There are people who, when they find out Santa isn’t real, feel betrayed. That…doesn’t compute for me. I mean, I respect that in some cases there’s trauma there, of course. But for me, I never stopped believing in Santa. Even when I realized that my mom was the one putting the gifts in the stockings …
Kore: Accepting the Past, Preparing for the Future
This is an article I wrote for Immanence Magazine earlier this year, though I don’t know if it made it in or if the magazine even came out in the past few months. I’ve decided to use it as my Kore post for the Pagan Blog Project. It’s written for a non-pagan, lay-audience, as an …
