On this Samhuinn, I kept to traditions I established for myself over the years. I rededicated to my Great Queen and then drank as much mead as I could and spent the night divining by stone and bone and star and pool. I visited with my neighbors, shared a smoke and drink and wished them well, hope they felt all the good spirits that walk the land and converge in our …
tricks or treat
I opened the door and there he stood in all of his ash-ness. Ghede. “May I help you?” I asked. He smiled and held open a bag. ”I have brought your costume M’lady” he answered. Costume I thought? The hell? “I wish to try out your treating” he says. Light bulb clicks on..Okay..give me a […]
Obligatory Sandy Post
Blessings Darlings!
Hurricane Sandy has just about finished having her way with my area now. Howling winds, torrential rains, 5 leaks in the house, etc. We didn’t lose power, in fact very few in our county have lost power – probably because the derecho took down most of the at-risk trees at the end of June!
Being a prepper, I didn’t have to hit the store for supplies. I did hit the stores before the storm because the Spawn wanted to make lasagna so he gave me $ and a shopping list. Most of the other carts had one or two cases of bottled water and other supplies each. Which was a surprise ….
NeoWicca Is Not Wicca?
I was trapped in a time warp earlier today. I was stuck in the late 1990s where a group of people actually felt the the word “NeoWicca” was so blasphemous that the mere mention of it brought about threats of being removed from an internet forum. Of course,(…)
Contradictions
“Because you’ve become someone distinct to me. Maybe I’ve gotten used to you. I’m certainly not afraid of you anymore.” The burdens were gone and a sudden tiredness was pulling me deeper. “Because there’s ‘Ravenwoman’ the role, and ‘Ravenwoman’ the person. And even though you’re still quite the snide bitch, you’re not that bad a person. Now that I’m not afraid of you.”

Emergency!
Blessings Darlings!
The other day, in “The Life You Save”, I pointed out how a volunteer firefighter was useless in the face of an emergency. She’s no longer my problem now that I don’t work with her. My problem is…
Cold and Calculating? I Think Not
Over on The Wall Street Journal‘s website, Matt Ridley posted an article entitled “Inside the Cold, Calculating Libertarian Mind” which referred to assertions made regarding libertarian mindsets in a paper by Dr. Jonathan Haidt and Ravi Iyer. Among these assertions was the inference that we “displayed less emotion, less empathy and less disgust than either conservatives or liberals” when it came to moral dilemmas. I disagree with this assertion.
Who Controls You?
Blessings Darlings!
So you say that you are a Witch, or Wiccan, or some other form of Magic User. You Create Change in Conformity to Will (a phrase that goes back to, gasp, Aleister Crowley). Or so you say …..

Tumbled Dreams: October 13 – October 19, 2012
What are “Tumbled Dreams”? These are the posts I made to my tumblr during the week because I felt they did not warrant a separate post on this blog. However, these “interstitials” often explain some of the backstory to the larger dream posts. For those readers that only read Three Different Ways, they may help … Continue reading →
