A whirlwind came with the snow last night -- it was Jeff and a ritual. He showed up at about 7:15 with dinner from China Star. We sat and I ate my honey sesame chicken while he ate garlic chicken -- I had to have at least a bite of the broccoli so that later, … Continue reading Sad

Just Me and My Shadow
So part of my problem is that I'm simultaneously excited about going back to Arizona and sad about leaving Bloomington. My friend Rowan, who made this move almost two years ago, tells me that's just the way it's going to be -- yucky. I really don't like that answer. 😉 I'm anticipating the community building … Continue reading Just Me and My Shadow
Angst
Delivering the news of my move has forced me to face the issue of my impact on others. See, I like to think that when I leave places, whether it be for a short while or a long while, it doesn't really matter to anyone. I don't want to assume that I mean as much … Continue reading Angst
Me, A Nihilist?
Nihilist Bear Which Dysfunctional Care Bear Are You? brought to you by Quizilla Well, that's only partially true. While I do occasionally get depressed about the state of our world, and while I do consider myself both Goth-ish and intellectual, I rarely get into the "I don't care" mentality. If I were brooding about something, … Continue reading Me, A Nihilist?
Organization is a Sign of a Sick Mind
I spoke with Rowan this morning about organizing her events down in MS. I assured her of three things -- first, she will at some point think that she will never be able to cover her costs. Second, she will think at some point that no one will come -- or at least that not … Continue reading Organization is a Sign of a Sick Mind
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
I M UU R U?
Yesterday we had the dubious distinction of being the youngest guests at the UU Church's Thanksgiving potluck, as well as the only one with kids. Since we're out here in the Midwest pretty much away from family, my covenmates are out of town and since we didn't feel like travelling because we'll be going to … Continue reading I M UU R U?
Dilly, Dally Dilemma
Yes, friends and neighbors, I find myself on the horns of a dilemma. What a great way to begin a diary, right? Well, writing is supposed to make everything so much clearer, so what the fuck. Let's give it a shot. I quit my job working for a major corporation recently. It was a good … Continue reading Dilly, Dally Dilemma
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
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
