Blessings Darlings!
As I once again start trying to eat better (notice that I don’t announce when I’m NOT eating well?), I’ve been looking at the costs per serving of what I eat. So I’m going to start posting about it, starting with the fruits.
Oh – at this point I’m just going to talk about price type costs. Not environmental. That’s a different conversation.

"Being associated with a ceann féile (cheif festival), May Eve and May Day were supposed to be times of greater than usual activity among supernatural beings, Every lios ("fairy fort") in Ireland was said to be opened that night, and their inhabitants moved abroad in great numbers, often changing residence at that time." – Seán Ó Súilleabháin, ‘Nósanna agua Piseoga na nGael’

I write a lot on my blogs and various other places about a more academic view of my spirituality – facts, myths, translations. Hard, verifiable, provable things. Sometimes I think this may lead people to think I don’t get as much into the experiential side of things although I do try to write about that as well – its just harder to talk about the more personal end of things. In reality…
This was inspired by two things – a story called ‘A Guide for Young Ladies Entering the Service of the Fairies’ and a poem by my friend Jennifer Lawrence called ‘Tam Lin’s Garden’. Both are brilliant pieces of writing and you should read them immediately.

Ever reached that place where those around you have pushed you to the limit? They keep niggling away at any semblance of order you might have made in your life and erode that frail thread of sanity and calm you’ve managed to prop up. Yeah, there I am. So here I sit, watching small stones …
Back in 2007, I had LapBand weight loss surgery. Prior to the surgery, I weighed in at well over 400 lbs. I was in constant pain from my knees and back, I had crazy heart palpitations, and would get out of breath from simply rolling over…from rolling over…from rolling THE FUCK… Read more »

The subject comes up occasionally – what makes a God a God?
It’s a good question, really, especially if you haven’t thought about it before. I’m pretty strongly against the idea of omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience – basically all the omni’s usually attributed to monotheistic deities – as qualities of individual deities. There’s just a level of cynicism in me that finds it impossible to…
Eros may find pleasure in pricking me with his arrow of unrequited infatuation, but I don’t mind too much. The power of closure and letting go is a powerful kind of magic, but the power to rebuild is even more powerful. Though jilted, the heart still …
