This is a post I wanted to do back when the F first came up. However, I had very little time or energy and no practical experience in using flagellation for religious purposes. (Fun, on the other hand…well. That’s another story.) This post deals with Sacred BDSM and Godslavery; if this squicks you or you …

Faith in Fallow Times
I’m a week late on this PBP post. I could give you a rousing round of excuses, but it’s kind of pointless. Life happens, and I’m sure y’all don’t begrudge me the week of silence. I’m in a fallow time currently. It’s a fallow time of my own making; the mundane world is overshadowing the …
The Elements Path in Reclaiming
When one goes to Witchcamp, one has an option of several paths to walk while there. These paths vary from camp to camp, but the one that’s always offered is The Elements Path, because it’s considered the foundation to practice within Reclaiming Witchcraft. I have a confession: I’ve only been to Witchcamp once, and I …
Eve (yeah, THAT one, the one from the Bible) from a pagan feminist perspective
Eve, she wants to know things Eve, she wants to know things Eve, she wants to know why we’re belly down, you’re not supposed to think –Eve’s Song, Dyonisis [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYVeisnY3U0] I’ve been listening to this song a lot the past week and a half, and something occurred to me yesterday when my mom was visiting. …

(PBP catch-up) The Ancestors are Thirsty
I started giving water to my ancestors/Mighty Dead this week. I don’t know; it just seemed time. I’ve been dealing with a lot of ancestor stuff in the past months, and there’s this sense of release. I had so much trouble connecting with dad’s side of the family, but since he cut me out of …
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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …

Cunctatitis (or, the disease of procrastination)
I had a real struggle with this week’s Pagan Blog Project. I could not, for the life of me, think of anything that started with a C. All I could think about was procrastination, my constant companion throughout my spiritual life. Enter my super-nerdy boyfriend, informing me there IS a word that starts with C …
