Last night at my full moon ritual a very strange and wonderful thing happened. Somehow in the midst of my magickal work, I had a strong sense of being called to Brighid. Now I've never honestly felt called to any one goddess. I spent time working with the Morrighan - years in fact - but … Continue reading Called to Brighid

Speaking Engagement
I've been asked to "speak" to an audience via IRC about a Pagan issue... I have no idea what to write about! I'm thinking balance will probably be it since there's so little of it in our world today. I'll post whatever it is here when I'm finished, probably in the Essays section. If anyone … Continue reading Speaking Engagement
Hm. Well, it's been quite a four month stretch. The group I was working with turned out to be something of a disappointment. They called themselves Druids -- adamantly, in fact, denying any sort of Wiccan connection -- but the truth was, they were more Wiccan than Druid. The straw for me was when I … Continue reading
Many Changes
Wow, what a month it's been! Many, many changes...where do I start? Well, my conversations with Christians have continued...not surprising considering my high priestess converted! So that was a bit of an adjustment. It wasn't easy to deal with the news, but above all she is my friend and I wish her well. Before she … Continue reading Many Changes
The Curious Christian
I'm in a weird rut right now. I haven't had any contact with the high priestess I was working with for several months now...it's a long story, involving graduate school and I don't know what else. My studies with CTOD have come to a halt, mostly because I can't seem to get any response out … Continue reading The Curious Christian
Summer News
Whew! What a summer it was! The clearing ritual I did in May really helped us in a big way. In June I decided that I was going nuts staying home and that it might be time for me to find a job. Money was tightening and we were concerned about Jasmine's health coverage. I … Continue reading Summer News
Dedication
Things have been kind of hectic this month. Planets must be in a strange alignment or something... Anyway, the Study Group that was generated from my Wicca page has really taken off and I've made friends and deepened my knowledge via that avenue as well. This website is shaping up nicely and reflecting where I'm … Continue reading Dedication
One Year Later
Looking back at the last year, I'd like to address some of the things I said in my first entry. My views of divinity have matured a bit, with the Wiccan philosophy of the All and I've done so much! I've read many, many books and had lots of interaction with other pagans. While in … Continue reading One Year Later
Well, the more you know, the more you want to know, I guess. Since moving to Tempe, Arizona, I've had a lot more serious contact with other pagans. Some of my experiences have been good...others have been, well, educational. I've always been interested in Celtic history and lore and I've taken the next logical step. … Continue reading
Embarking on Active Practice as a Witch
All my life I've been spiritual. I've always known on some level that there was some force that created Nature and all it encompasses and I've always felt dissatisfied with Christian explanations. From the time I was about seven I searched every church I could find looking for answers and never feeling like I'd been … Continue reading Embarking on Active Practice as a Witch
