My entire path is about activism. I’d be lying if I said otherwise. Morrigan and Brighid want me to do Their work, and They want it done everyday. They want me to be a witch, and They have been very clear that to be a witch — to do Their work — I must also …

Trigger warning: fatphobia, ableism, mention of disordered eating, suicide So recently there was a question on TC regarding whether or not we have a religious duty to take care of our bodies. I refrained answering, and for a while even refrained reading the thread. Threads like that have a tendency to fall into fatphobia, fat-shaming, …
then she drinks herself up and out of her kitchen chair and she dances out of time as slow as she can sway as long as she can say this dance is mine this dance is mine One of my favourite musical artists is Ani DiFranco.

Trigger Warning: rape. I am a bee head-butting the aggressor; a snake poised to strike; a cat with its ruff all up, pupils gone large, claws extended. I was just upset. Upset as in sort of sad, sort of disappointed. I was just that, just that lower amount of emotion, that lower energy output of …
TRIGGER WARNING. When I was 19, 20, 21 I was okay with rape jokes. I told them frequently. I laughed when others told them. And I often used the word rape to refer to anything but. I had been raped, at this point. I was a victim, survivor, whatever terminology is appropriate. I knew I …

While I wanted to do a post on Justice for a while, much of this post is inspired by this one, and adds to the argument presented there. TRIGGER WARNING for discussion of rape, abuse, murder, marginalization, etc; do not read the comments in some linked articles unless you have a strong stomach. Witchcraft gives …

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. …

I just got home from Point-Aux-Chenes again. I’ve been there four days now, tagging along for various things. This video below is one of them. Which is huge f-in news for the Little People, the hoi polloi, the regular folk who don’t know their voice is so much stronger than the corporation which is currently …
In my post about activism and the path of the Warrior, I said that to be a Warrior means to realize that something needs to be done, and then going out and doing it. I’d like to elaborate further on that. In my last post it seems I’m saying that some sort of action is …
