I’m pretty uncompromising in my feminist views. I believe that all people should be equal. I believe that we all carry around programming that causes us to be oppressive, bigoted assholes — no matter how much work we’ve done on ourselves, we’re still hackers trying to bring down the Matrix from within — and that …

Dearest Friends! I would like you to help me spread the words that Singing “We all come from the Goddess” should NOT BE rewritten. It is my intellectual property. it is NOt a folk song, which by the way is the fate of many composers whose songs are stolen. You steal my song from now …
Wednesday evening I spent at my brother’s house, playing an amazing video game called Journey. The next day Mom and her friend Chris picked me up and I went to go meet Erinnightwalker (and her bf) for the first time in real life. She gave me awesome gifts, because she’s an awesome person (though this should …

As you can no doubt tell by the little box to the right, Spring Mysteries Fest is upon us. Well, upon me, and upon you if you’re going, I suppose. If you’re not it’s just Easter. I’m excited about getting to attend because when I first heard about it, two years ago (I think? Time …

(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 …

Normally I would say The Cauldron, but it’s not a witchy website. It’s an interfaith forum with a pagan focus. It is my favourite forum and one I spend a lot of time at. As I get more and more interested in rootwork, herbalism, and real earth magic (down and dirty, baby), I find The …

So, really, almost every place outdoors is magical. According to me, at least. However, Lake Sasamat is truly magical — tis the hosting ground for not only the Gathering for Life on Earth, but also Pirates and Fairies – two witchy/pagany events with rituals galore, that happen every year. The place is practically crackling with …

Please stop. Stop crying for “Pagan Unity.” The more you cry for Pagan Unity, the more divisiveness you create. There was a time when I called for Pagan Unity. I was even part of the Pagan Unity Campaign — State Chair for Hawaii. I admit this without shame; I was younger and not well educated …
