Be the Change

Be the change you want to see in the world. ~ Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) I found this quote in a little gift book we are selling at work. I find it very relevant and inspiring with regards to how I have been feeling lately. First, a little bit of background. For several years, I have […]

Magical Bobbles

Sunfell over at the Juggler has posted an excellent piece about Pagans and Money. She writes about Pagans who can’t pay their bills, but yet must have the newest occult quick fix. I’m glad I’m not the only one to recognize this pattern. I see it in the Tarot community too, where people who are […]

Forums?

Okay, I know I’ve posted this before, but I’ve been lazy. (See, I’m admitting it.) Does anyone know of any good Wiccan/Pagan forums, Yahoo or MSN groups? I’m hoping for some place with a low amount of fluff and a good amount of posts.

Three Fold Law

Yesterday I wrote about my feelings on the Rede. Today, I’d like to look at the Three Fold Law. In simple terms, it says that any thing we do will be visited upon us three times, for good or ill. In her book Philosophy of Wicca, Amber Laine Fisher suggests that the Three Fold Law […]

Request for Forgiveness

I’ve seen a few different Pagan sites and blogs reporting the fact that the Pope asked for forgiveness today with respect to the Inquisition. (See the Reuters story, which is somewhat oddly posted under “Oddly Enough News”.) I’m not really sure this is a Pagan issue. Sure, lots of Pagans have claimed the Inquisition as […]

Some Thoughts on the Rede

Bec, over at Fat Lil Wytch, has posted her feelings about the Wiccan Rede and Three Fold Law. Although she isn’t Wiccan, she does have some interesting insights into these two things. Personally, I don’t necessarily see the Wiccan Rede, “An it harm no one, do what thou wilt”, as a rewording of the Christian […]

Valid Paths

Multi-blog The Juggler recently had an entry about the validity of paths, Recurring Rant: “All paths are Valid.”. There are several points I agree with in this entry. Quite frankly, I am tired of the political correctness that inundates the online Pagan movement. We cannot disagree with anyone lest we be branded intolerant or even […]

Significator Quiz

Over on the Lotus Pond, I posted an article a while back about all the different ways to choose a Tarot significator. (I think I might have to update my ideas to deal with my new Daughters of the Moon deck though, since it only has three court cards… *sigh*) Today I came across a […]

Colour Meanings

Last week when I was at the library, I overheard a librarian reading a book to a group of little children. I can’t remember the words exactly, but she was more or less reading the name of a colour and then reading things about it that related to attributes of the colour. For example, I […]

A Little Respect

Sometimes the online Pagan community drives me nuts. I will honestly admit to being a bit of a loner. I don’t generally join groups, but when I do I try my best to get along. It is in my nature to be a people-pleaser and a smoother-of-ways. Anyway, I’ve been poking around the online community […]
