There are lots of things involved in Paganism and Witchcraft that lend themselves to multiple offshoots and various sub-topics. When thinking about how to present the concept of the Divine Masculine, this becomes an easy thing to fall into. There are all sorts of historical, political, social, religious, and practical angles to consider that it … More The Divine Masculine
Loki I am prefacing this with saying that I’m including Loki in this section because of his importance to my Mate and some of my students. Personally, I have not made any oaths to him and do not consider myself a Loki-woman. What the future may hold, I cannot say, but for now I haven’t … More My Gods and Goddesses – Loki
Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not … More Being Human
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
I read something from a publisher’s website yesterday afternoon that I found very interesting. Most Pagans are familiar with Llewellyn Publishing. It’s the largest provider of Pagan/Wiccan/New Age books out there. It may also be the longest-running publisher for books of this particular niche, but I don’t really know. In any case, a blog posted … More We might be moving…
“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
I wish it were snowing… or snowy. But right now as I look out of my window, the sky is overcast with thick grey and white clouds and a strong wind has been knocking the bare lilac branches against my window for a few days now. For me, this time of year is very … More The Winter Solstice
I am typically surprised when I mention to people, or advise them of things that seem (to their minds) to be something Pagans don’t do… or think… or perform… My question then is, “Why would you think that a Witch doesn’t pray?” Or fast, or feel guilt or remorse, or struggle with forgiveness? These feelings … More Guilt, Shame, Regret, and Forgiveness
