I recently was introduced to Raven Grimassi’s The 13 Goals of a Wiccan by a friend. To say I was amused is putting it lightly. Here I thought that my goals as a Wiccan were to honour nature, the divine and myself. I guess I was wrong. According to Mr. Grimassi, I’m supposed to be […]

I’ve been at total lose ends lately because I haven’t had a project to work on. Actually, now that I think about it, that isn’t really true. I’ve had a lot of projects (cross stitch database, studying Tarot, my main site, etc.) but they were all for me, so they just don’t seem all that […]

I’ve been meaning to comment on this article since I first read it. In a nut shell, the author says that if someone isn’t out of the broom closet and in the public eye, then they are a “fair weather witch.” I am somewhat offend that the author feels she can judge other people in […]

Ellen Cannon Reed has passed away. I am sad, but I’m not going to write a personal message of mourning. I didn’t know Ms. Cannon Reed. In fact, until this morning, I didn’t even know she had any sort of presence on the internet. If I had know earlier, I think I would have done […]

It’s amazing the way you can dream up a personal history for someone based on what they are wearing and how they carry themselves. Now, I’m not saying it’s right to judge a person by their appearance, but, honestly, it’s hard not to form some sort of opinion. If it wasn’t, then why would we […]

Wiccans seem to be pleased that we have no sacred texts, no written scripture. Many of us claim that it is better this way. Practitioners can rely on personal experience instead of the experiences of others. We can discover things on our own, and make things up as we go along. Yet, at the same […]

I’ve been thinking about joining the Pagan Speak web ring. I was waiting for the new August topics to be posted, but since they seem to be delayed, I thought I’d try one of the July topics. Also, it ties in nicely with an essay I’m working on for my main site, part of which […]

I’ve been thinking about the Rede a lot lately. Although it may cause some snickers amongst people who know me, I’m actually really interested in ethics. The biggest Wiccan ethic (and the only, according to some) is the Wiccan Rede. An it harm none, do as thou will. Or in simple, “If it is not […]

My first real ritual, many years ago, was to empower some pieces of rose quartz to give to several people who were going through different health problems. I had a few jitters, to say the least. First, at the time my parents were only mildly tolerant about my choice of religion. They were coming around, […]

*sigh* Work on my pages has totally stalled lately. I haven’t done much work on Tarot in the past week. I’m not really sure why. I guess other things seem more important sometimes. And it wasn’t really a great week either. But things seem to be calming down, and the Christmas/Yule decorating is done. I […]
