I respect authors, artists, etc – as a result, I take a hard line on plagiarism, as I’ve mentioned before. And I don’t keep silent when I see folks do it FaceBook. Oddly enough, that doesn’t endear me to some people. Specifically, it doesn’t endear me to plagiarists. Which, actually, cheers me quite a bit – if I am to be known by what groups hate me, being hated by plagiarists is a fine thing in my never humble opinion.

The question was asked on a Facebook group I belong to, why do the group’s reconstructionists follow that approach? While I no longer think of myself as a Celtic recon, per se, I do feel that reconstruction is a big part of my own practice and I enjoyed thinking about the question. I decided that …
Just some pics from me and Andrew’s small Equinox meet-up, we laughed, we drank, we hung out with awesome neighbors, we sang songs and made magic with mead in our bellies.

H. Byron Ballard, a delicate flower of Appalachian womanhood and the author of “Staubs and Ditchwater”, is A Very Bad Influence. She sent me a copy of her book, which I am enjoying immensely and will write a review of when I am done reading it. But I’m reading it slowly, because I am savoring every word of it.
What, you ask, makes a woman I just raved about a Very Bad Influence? It’s because she makes me even more shameless about what I do that draws strange looks. Let’s look at today…..
When Odin is mentioned in conversation most people probably do not immediately think of him as a healing deity. God of battle, of the valiant dead, of poetry, of kings, of runes, even of magic or wisdom, but probably not healing. However I have personally related to him(…)
“I thought I was supposed to stay put”, I said to George as I followed him. ”Someone wants to meet you”, he said. Oh..someone wants to meet me..wait..what? Who wants to meet me? I wondered. George did not answer just kept walking down the path. I sighed.. Yeah no use asking him 10001 questions because […]
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 explain some of the characters and sudden changes in plot and direction.

I am sitting on a rock in the dark. I an in my favorite spot to meditate by the ocean high upon the cliffs but do not usually come here in the dark. Unless things around me seem frayed. I don’t feel frayed really, more of a discontent from sitting instead of working and a […]
Today is the autumn equinox, and as I mentioned in a previous blog about Artio, I celebrate this day in honor of Her; this is entirely my own practice, no citation(…)
Validation. Big word with intense meanings…something that corroborates a held belief,thought or action, to officially sanction it as correct response or action. Personally, I look for validations when I’m working or from my guides that what I’m doing is correct or will have the desired results I intended. I do NOT look for it from others. Why […]
