It turns out that Junior is a fantastic douchetard.

It was on FB that the Captain … Read the rest

celebration of nothing

I find myself walking down a familiar road. I observe that the wheat field is covered in a sheen of frost. The ground crunches beneath my feet and I’m like wth? It’s supposed to be spring. “I believe your gran called it blackberry winter” says a voice beside me. I look to see my old […]

Start Menu – Part 3 – Energy Work for Beginners

Blessings Darlings!

In preparing to write this segment, I pulled more than a dozen books off my bookshelves to see what THEY said about beginning energy work.  The books, none aimed at  adepts or masters or anything, ranged from Women’s Spirituality to Qabala to Ceremonial Magic and beyond, and since I couldn’t find my copy of The Spiral Dance yet I looked at the index of that one online.

Ragnarokk: Getting Organized

I think I am going to be starting a semi-regular feature on my blog that highlights free online, tablet/phone and computer tools for organization and other things. I tried it once before on my old blog, but there really wasn’t any focus involved. Going to start from scratch.

Therefore, you’d start with things like…

Fairy Witchcraft: A Neopagan’s Guide to the Celtic Fairy Faith

Author: Morgan Daimler
Series: Pagan Portals

Review: If you know me well, you’d know that the moment I see the word Fairy in any book title I tend to run away and hide. The only reason I actually read this book is because I knew the author was a great researcher and an honest writer who tells it like it is. Plus it was a fairly short read and I was curious about the subject matter.

Public Sigils

Chaos Magic works very heavily with sigils. And one fun technique involves viral sigils: sigils copied and placed in public locations so that random people will activate them (without realizing it). The idea here is that you get a scattershot approach, and instead of one result from your spell you get numerous. This works well […]

Prepare Ye The Way of the Lords (and Ladies)

Blessings Darlings!

I’d like to expand on a theme I’ve touched on before, over in http://fernsfronds.blogspot.com/2009/06/intimacy-with-gods.html .

I’m in a lot of Facebook Pagan groups.  It could well be argued that I’m in too many Facebook Pagan groups.  At any rate, I see recurring themes in all the groups, one taking place around spell-begging (asking strangers online for spells for X, Y, or Z, or even for ANY spells) the other around ‘how do I know what God/dess is my patron?”
