Baby Blessing

I’m having a rough time this week with migraines as the weather is changing, so instead of not blogging at all, I decided to offer a published (but under my copyright) piece that might still be of some interest.A Baby Blessing Ritual

   The child should be dressed in something beautiful and meaningful for the family. If indoors a small altar can be created with a candle (triple wicked if possible) and a …

Spam-casm?

First of all, waves at everyone, look who’s back! How much did you miss me? Feel free to send lots of fan mail describing in detail just how much you love me and how you’ve missed my presence.

Heh, you see, I’d just run out of inspiration. There certainly was… Read the rest

Rising Fire

Settled down. Tucked into bed. At rest feeling the day’s issues slide into the past. Only thinking of the pleasure of sleep. Not considering the troubles that would wake with the dawn. It’s good to rest. To feel the blood in my veins, the air moving in my lungs. Engaged in the symphony of senses. …

Book review – 21 Spells for Assured Sucess

 And now for something completely different…. 21 Spells for Assured Success by Boudica

   I really enjoyed this book, being fond of spellwork that is pragmatic and intended …

Samhain and Halloween Prep

On samhain, I’ll celebrate by having some good old fashion secular Halloween fun by dressing up and getting drunk at a club with Andrew and my mom.  But when the night calms down, and I somber and sober up, I’ll return home to light the candles on my altar, set out the prepared food for the beloved dead, open my windows to let the cold autumn winds carry in the spirits and all their wisdom.

Harvesting Change and Healing

When we go through tough times, we seek ways to find comfort.  As you all know I have had hard times lately with the loss of Jessie.  But the last six months have had more than just that held up in store for me.  I have had everything happen to me from my car dying to financial problems (I am the 99% for sure) to discovering friends I had for years were never really friends.  To top it all off,

Defining Me

I’ve been having issues last little bit with definition.  Not my definition, but the way others define who I am and how I believe by their own personal standards.  It kind of rocked me for a second because I actually thought I was past that.  Apparently not.  So I’ve been whining, complaining, and tonight, I’ve […]
