In a lot of the pagan community I see an approach to spirituality that is a bit like a video game: you start and you achieve different levels as you go, until you beat the game and win. This bothers me on a couple levels which I’d like to address before I get into the meat of today’s blog which is going to be about my own experiences of living as a priestess of the Good Folk. Firstly the idea…
That OTHER “10 daily things witches do list”
Blessings Darlings!
It occurred to me that I should really do a blog on what was in that OTHER ‘what witches do’ list. The items and my brilliant (why doesn’t this have comic sans as a font option) commentary.
Here goes – …
Mystic South 2018
This past weekend I flew down to attend the second Mystic South conference in Atlanta Georgia. As I understand it the conference is focused on an appreciation of uniquely southern magic and practices but also open to looking at the wider pagan community, and includes a special track for academic presentations. Quite frankly they had me at the idea of academic material because that isn’t something…
BJ’s “Top 10 things to do as a Witch” list.
Blessings Darlings!
BJ responded to my ‘suggestion’ list with this. It is, of course, wonderful, because that’s how BJ is.
So, in it’s entirety, and shared with permission:

Friday the 13th this year is Chaotic Neutral.
Blessings Darlings!
I’ve been rather gobsmacked by all the memes and such that I’ve run into today along the lines of “Friday the 13th is the Witch Day of [Good] Luck!” Look, folks, this is just …
10 Daily Things Witches Might Just Consider Doing.
Blessings Darlings!
I just read a really masturbatory and inefficient list of ‘What Witches Do’. It was immediately obvious to me that I had to create my own list! Really, almost all of them come down to either “Work to bring down the Patriarchy” or “Do your craft more efficiently” But for details…
Bring Your Vegetable To Work Day
Blessings Darlings!
This post is not about bringing garden surplus to share with your coworkers. Maybe next year I’ll be able to post about that. My garden’s not going to …
Remembering Uaimh na gCat
The entrance is in a field, beneath a hawthorn.
It is an unassuming opening into the earth, but there is something intimidating about it. The darkness beyond the stone and grass is deep and full. It invites you in at the same time that it warns you away. But this is why you have come to this place, seeking this cave, seeking this darkness, and you won’t be deterred now.
You move into the…
Fairies and Aliens: an Opinion Piece
To begin, nothing I am going to say here is groundbreakingly original. But this is a topic that comes up from time to time and I want to address my own opinions on it, as within the community of people who believe in the Good Neighbours there tend to be a couple schools of thought. Suffice to say that the people who hold the opposite opinion to mine use the exact same evidence but argue the other…
There’s plastic in the Ocean!
Blessings Darlings!
I’m hoping that your reaction to the title of this was “No Shit”.
Now, read this on an idea on where to put your efforts on solving the problem. And feel free to point out why banning single use plastic or whatever is better. We can argue here.
