So I picked up a copy of Sasha Graham's 365 Tarot Spreads to give myself some structure in getting to know the cards again AND to pick up some cool new spreads. It came last night, so I got started with today's entry - the Bird's-Eye View Spread. The trick with this spread is that … Continue reading 365 tarot spreads: bird’s-eye view spread

taking a new name
In the Craft, we are often taught that names have power. We choose names to become or to represent who we are. And sometimes there is a big enough life change that names change too. In my case, I've had two names during my 30-ish years as a Witch. The first name I crafted was … Continue reading taking a new name
life as improv
Some people live a very scripted life. They go to school like you're "supposed" to, K-12, followed by four more years in college, work, get married, and so on. The script is written by various factors in society - you do this, you don't do that, and you get this reward and avoid that scary … Continue reading life as improv
don’t tell me
This week there have been a few images circulating on FB that I found to be helpful in regards to bias in the news media. The first, I reposted. It looked like this: I thought it was pretty straightforward and helpful, even though they had to leave out SO many sites because, well, space and … Continue reading don’t tell me

A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If he is simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. If he is committed to the spread of evil and chaos, he is even worse. … Continue reading gaming alignment irl

From my New Order of Druids studies: The Relevance of Druidism Today Stubborn reliance on fossil fuels have led to more ecological disasters than I care to count. Landfills are overflowing with refuse that could largely be recycled or reused, including vast amounts of food waste. Deforestation continues to threaten our world even decades after … Continue reading keeping the hearth fire

forgiving our fathers by dick lourie maybe in a dream: he's in your power you twist his arm but you're not sure it was he that stole your money you feel calmer and you decide to let him go free or he's the one (as in a dream of mine) I must pull from the … Continue reading forgiving our fathers
messages from Bríd
Lately I've been spending some intense time with my Bríd devotionals and study time. This morning during my prayers and meditation, I received a message pretty loudly - that I need to continue building the groundwork for the Liminal Tradition (formerly Cassandra, and may change during the process). She said clearly that I need to … Continue reading messages from Bríd
living life out loud
For years, I've lived my life out loud, online and very publicly. I felt safe doing so, and if I'm honest, I felt like it was my birthright as an American woman to do so. I haven't been feeling that safety since the infamous Trump tape broke. In fact, the days after that story went … Continue reading living life out loud
a woman who writes feels too much
THE BLACK ART Anne Sexton A woman who writes feels too much, those trances and portents! As if cycles and children and islands weren't enough; as if mourners and gossips and vegetables were never enough. She thinks she can warn the stars. A writer is essentially a spy. Dear love, I am that girl. A … Continue reading a woman who writes feels too much
