Ya’ll know that I don’t mind people praying. If that is their thing, then by all means do that. Spells are after all prayer in action really. it all comes down to the intent. But here is where I’m having a problem lately. In voodoo/hoodoo groups, and even in some of the pagan groups, I […]

Just a little introspection
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche There are monsters all around, but none worse than the one that resides within us. We can often times be […]
Let me spell it out for you
I have issues…I tell you all the time, that I like to be the one in control..of my life, my path, my….EVERYTHING. It goes way back to a time when things in my world spun beyond my control, filled with abuse fueled by alcohol, insanity and perversion. So at a time when I could not […]
Assumptions and all that carp
Don’t you love when you see things people post that make a broad statement about “everyone?” Today I get home and peruse through status and see this one from Pagan Coalition: A Pagan is a person who believes that everything has a soul or spirit. This is called Animism, and all Pagan religions share this […]
And the dance continues
Sometimes it is amazing that one receives validation from various places when you are not looking for them. Such has been my case the past week. Hell has been calmer, I’ve worked hard enough to get a 3 day weekend, and then there are the little things,, such as the feeling of getting water flicked […]
ORIGINAL THOUGHTS? ANYONE?
I’m beginning to feel more than a little frustrated really at reading some of the pagan groups as of late. They all seem to be of one coven: Copy/Pasters of the Unimaginative, Uninformed Fae of the Great Beyond. Yeah, can smell all that glitter from here. In truth, it’s frustrating, both to the […]
Hey soul sister!
I’ve been trying to behave this week. I’ve not done not a lot of ranting, kept the blood pressure in its proper sphere, and just watched the discussions as they move past. I’ve even posted on a few…just enough to keep me awake and involved, not enough to have a relapse. But one has […]
Fluff and fold
Sometimes there are things that make one just want to shake your head. It’s either mind blowing in its whatthefucktiveness, or in its stupidity. Sometimes its a little of both. The other day I was reading on a group of christian wiccans. Yeah, oxymoronic is my thought as well, but they seem to think they […]
It’s not my job
Wow, nothing like a health scare to get one to thinking about priorities huh? My apologies to the kith and kin who were alarmed at my mini vacation this week into realms of doctors, hospital rooms and tests. Yeah I’ll live..sorry to the prey who were expecting a reprieve of sorts. Anyway, I’ve done some […]
UNCOMMON ETHICS
You know this past weekend has been a major blur of accusations, plagiarism, and impersonations as well as lies and theft. Wow..what a lot of bullshit huh? We have people lying by omission by not crediting authors’s works and posting them as their own, lifting whole posts from psychology reports for a class, trying to impersonate […]
