Something old, something new something borrowed, something blue... Okay, I'm not sure what's blue, but the rest of it... I am experiencing a reconnection to my Wiccan roots, and in particular to the tradition that Boudica and I created together, a call to Hekate and Hekatean witchcraft, a yearning for the ancestral connection to my … Continue reading something’s brewing
Cassandra / Liminal Tradition
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
the draw to druidry (Bardic Course – NOD)
When presented with the question, “What drew you to Druidry?” I have a hard time pinpointing the moment. I feel as though I’ve always been drawn to “Druidish” things, whether it be in the sense of a pull towards Irish myth and culture or in the sense of a connection with the land, sea and … Continue reading the draw to druidry (Bardic Course – NOD)
Just What AM I Doing, Anyway?
My two main spiritual pursuits as of late have been ADF-style druidry and a smaller group of women I'm working with locally. The work I'm doing there, in concert with the work I did last year with the Woolston-Steen Theological Seminary (primarily traditional Wicca) and the work of my more distant past with Reclaiming, Diana's … Continue reading Just What AM I Doing, Anyway?

Beltane 2004
Some quick and dirty thoughts about Beltane -- because after all, what other holy day is deserving of quick and dirty? I charged myself the night before by having great sex with Jeff. It's kind of a tradition. We didn't do it last year because I was painfully pregnant, but this year... mmmm. Anyway. I … Continue reading Beltane 2004
Release
Tonight we had our ritual of release. I'm just now letting it settle over me, so I can reflect on how it worked. I have a bit of a headache, so that's making it cloudy, but I do feel very cleansed. We built a great ritual together and I was very moved by the outcome. … Continue reading Release
Uh Huh
Recent events in my coven... I'm not even sure I'm in a place where I can have the objectivity I need to journal about it. Maybe in a few days I'll try to put down a timeline of the pertinent events. I know there are lessons to be learned from it and am in the … Continue reading Uh Huh
Dirt Under My Fingernails
I'm dedicating to Earth this year because I think I'm really needing to get in touch with my body and also attend to other earth things, like boundaries, safety, material issues and the like. I've been thinking about it for a time, mainly since I smugly said to MarshAster that I don't ever think about … Continue reading Dirt Under My Fingernails
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
