Gods, Goddesses, Spirits, Deities
So maybe this is lazy… Or maybe it’s just something to do while the big idea keeps percolating in my brain and I’ll come back with a full-fledged blog post for this topic all on its own. Who knows? Essentially, it comes from this: I am a member of a few different websites and message … More My response to a Crisis of Faith
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” -Aristotle Recently I’ve had the thought cross my mind as to how to define particular spiritual paths or more precisely, my own. It was spurred by reading an article on the Patheos site that talked about whether … More What is “Paganism”?
Athena Athena was the first Goddess that I connected with strongly in a spiritual and religious way. By that, I mean when I really began to dig my heels in and study this path, Witchcraft, as a religion and not as an academic intellectual pursuit, Athena was right there helping me through that transition. So … More My Gods and Goddesses – Athena
I wrote this after meditating and doing a ritual working with Cernunnos. Cernunnos I have a blog post I did a while ago about Cernunnos specifically and my first real experience of him. I have also wanted to write more about him, and some of the other deities I have a strong relationship with, but … More My Gods and Goddesses – Cernunnos
One of the really interesting things about getting into Paganism is the realization and later understanding that all those gods and goddesses that you might have learned about in school — Zeus, Aphrodite, Apollo, etc. are still around and kicking. That’s right, those wonderful stories about gods and heroes and legendary tales of monsters and amazing … More Finding a patron deity
Bast I think it is safe to say that Bast was the first goddess I was ever introduced to. I read a lot as a child and some of the first books I remember reading were about cats. I checked out several from my school library that were all about cats and later on when … More Bast’s Blessing
It’s been almost a year since I last posted the conversation I had with a person called SharedTears. While I wasn’t expecting a response, and while it took so long to get one that I thought the conversation had been dropped, I did receive an email from her. (I only assume it is a her, I … More What about Jesus? (part deux)
Journals are valuable tools, especially for spiritual matters because looking back on them, reading entries made at specific times, can teach one a great deal about oneself. Mundane journals describe situations and feelings at the time they occur (if the entries are kept current). While spiritual/magical journals record thoughts and beliefs about the nature of … More They aren’t all the same
I have been a Witch all my life. I did not know this until I came to accept and understand what it meant, consciously making the decision to follow it as my life’s path when I was 17. I’ve wavered in activity, in belief, and understanding. That’s how faith roots and grows: through being tested, but … More My response to a loving friend
Important note: I am saying that Christianity (the religion) and Wicca (the religion) are both separate, distinct religious beliefs. Wicca is not the only place where one may have a practice of Witchcraft. One may be a Christian and practice Witchcraft, calling oneself a Christian Witch. This is something different from being a “Christian Wiccan”, … More Why Christian-Wicca doesn’t make sense
