my team of champions

December 14, 2016October 23, 2017 / thefirespiral / 1 Comment

Yesterday's therapy appointment was illuminating. I nearly didn't go because I have a shitty cold, one where I am prone to coughing fits and losing my voice. I generally get one like this once a year, and apparently now is the time. So anyway, I drug my carcass in and as usual, I'm glad I … Continue reading my team of champions

messages from Bríd

December 8, 2016December 8, 2016 / thefirespiral / Leave a comment

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

My ritual and working will be a bit late, but I laid the foundation for it last night and this morning. Imbolc has always been a special holy day for me, given my calling to Brighid many years ago, given that I gave Jasmine over to her Fire with a prayer I wrote, given that … Continue reading imbolc 2014

no matter where I go, there I am

October 8, 2013November 23, 2016 / thefirespiral / Leave a comment

If you've been here before, you know I've renamed the blog. I've been spending a fair amount of time lately thinking about my roots in Wicca, why I moved away - and then back - and then away - and then back, and seriously, may I have this dance? A lot of my movement and … Continue reading no matter where I go, there I am

Embrace the Change

February 19, 2004November 22, 2016 / thefirespiral / Leave a comment

We came home yesterday after receiving Jasmine from the funeral home. Jeff had made a seat for her in the front seat of the truck, with all her stuffed animals and her quilt from the hospital. She would have been so smug about riding in the front seat. We drove home, and when we got … Continue reading Embrace the Change
