In the past, I’ve done a lot of thinking about the validity of worshiping ancient gods with modern rites. I have wondered if it is right to take Them out of the framework of the culture where They first appeared and import them into a new land and honour Them with new rituals. I have […]

I am declaring myself a feminist. No, not one of the man hating variety. Rather, I what to support women in anything they want to do. If I woman wants to have a high powered career, more power to her! If she wants to be a stay-at-home mom, I will support her right to that […]

I’ve decided to do embrace a bit of a turn-around in my spiritual viewpoint.

Lately I’ve been trying to remember what it was that made me decided to looking into other religions.

I did something pretty tough yesterday–I left both Delphi and CFFN. Truthfully, leaving CFFN wasn’t that difficult. While I have learned a good deal and still feel it is an excellent course, I felt that it was really lacking something for me. The only reason I was sticking it out was because I felt that […]

Somewhere along the way I lost my sense of humour. It’s pretty sad to wake up one day and realize that. Very rarely to I laugh out loud at anything, and my jokes tend to be sarcastic. I was very distressed by this revelation, and have been making an attempt to rediscover the humour in […]
