Spring Snow Day
Blessings Darlings!
We have about 6 inches of snow, and it’s still falling. Spawn got an 8:00 call from work, telling him not to bother coming in, they wouldn’t be getting enough business to justify paying him.

Searching for the answers
We all have moments when we have to stop to catch our breath and take stock of where and who we are. It can be as simple as tweaking a few things, or it can be a major overhaul. I’m having days when I want to just sit myself in a corner and hide out(…)
Tumbled Dreams: March 16 – 22, 2013

A Prayer for the Dying
Death is always difficult for the living to come to terms with, although it is said that to die to this world is to be born into the Otherworld. One thing we, as modern pagans, need more of are prayers for the dying, to help the soul move on and to comfort the living left behind. This is a blessing from the Carmina Gadelica to be said at death. I have modernized it and made it more pagan….
Be Who You Are
Be who you are. It’s been a refrain moving through my head all damn day. Like an earworm you can’t unplug, the sound keeps getting louder and louder. Nice thought. Unless one has no fucking clue just exactly who that is. I have a basic idea of(…)
