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 …
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 …
Goodies from Seattle!
Mom and I went to Seattle a week ago, and she bought me books because they are cheaper in the States. She also gave me a gift before we headed down! Here’s a picture of two of my witchy treasures: The one on the left I found in Barnes and Noble and was about to …
44 Days of Witchery, Day 24: Your moon sign.
Sagittarius. This is what about.com has to say on Moon in Sadge: The Sagittarius Moon can be described as radiant, fun and visionary, with many notable pioneers born under this sign. They’re often optimistic about the future and open hearted, both qualities of which can be contagious. They appreciate life as a grand adventure, and …

A favourite candle.
I have a big, yellow jar candle that smells like maple-walnut. I think it’s a Martha Stewart candle, but that doesn’t really matter (I bought it at Liquidation World because of how it smelled — like my bedroom in our home in Kihei, when I went to high school). It sits on my stove, along …
Current moon phase.
1.6 days before last quarter. Waning, in other words. Disseminating is another term for the part between Full and Last Quarter (according to We’Moon’s moon phase drawing, which is one I quite like).
44 Days of Witchery, Day 20: A picture of a tarot or oracle card, and its meaning.
This card is from “The 5 Keys to Happiness” oracle deck, which is based loosely on Tibetan teachings. The deck is by Gordon Smith and Dronma. The deck is divided up into 5 suites: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. Each element has 6 cards. 1 through 4 represent the 4 stages of life (embryo: …
44 Days of Witchery, Day 18: Have you had any paranormal experience?
I’ve communed with ghosts in theatres, I’ve seen UFOs, and I’ve fought off demons in graveyards. Yep. Kind of part and parcel with the job, in my view.
44 Days of Witchery, Day 17: Picture of nature (fire element)
Granted, this isn’t literal fire, but trees in fall have always spoken of the fire element to me. Add in that it was a very sunny day and one spent on Granville Island — I was happy and in my element, which is, of course, fire. (Picture taken October 23rd, 2011. I’m posting from …
