The Job Hunt Spell

A few years ago – before this blog was really a thing, I was in a situation where I needed a new job. I didn’t have one at the time, but I had some savings so I wasn’t desperate to take any job, I wanted one that fit me. To help me focus and to help get me job I did a little magic. For folks who are looking for a job, here’s what I did. May it help you to find a job that suits you!

It’s about Framing

“Framing” may be a term that many of you aren’t familiar with … and since I’ve only heard it in professional management and leadership arenas, I don’t expect you to be. 🙂 “Framing,” in this context, is about how you phrase things.  If you want to say something that you’re not sure will be taken well, … Read more

Review: Visions of Vanaheim

This is the 2nd edition of the book. The original edition was removed years ago, and now has Svartesól has revised the book and re-written sections of the book. This book is more of an explanation of the author’s personal beliefs than a re-constructionist text. If you’re interested in the Vanir, however, it’s an interesting … Read more

On Returning from the Sacred Grove

It’s been a few weeks since I returned from my Cherry Hill Seminary Intensive: Into the Sacred Grove. I went to the Intensive expecting days of academic instruction and more than a few glazed-eye moments. What I got was four days of comradery, learning, introspection and new friends. The Intensive was about taking our domestic … Read more

Mind Power

The power of the mind is an amazing thing. It’s something that is very important for magic workers and divination workers to keep in mind as they do their work. The mind can cause things to happen by changing the way in which we react. Our emotions can overpower our thoughts, but our thoughts can … Read more

Review: Hounded – Iron Druid Chronicles Book 1

Hounded is definitely in the range of popcorn reading for me.  The author does a great job of blending just enough “real” mythology with new and modern twists to keep you interested.  The characters are well written, showing flashes of their true identity while trying to blend into the modern world.  There are very few … Read more

Evocation [PBP]

[This is a post for the Pagan Blog Project] Evoke vs Invoke.  It’s an interesting balance.  There’s a whole LOT of grey area between the two words, and that’s without bringing any magical meaning to them!  Since this is the ‘E’ post for PBP, I’m going to focus on ‘evoke’ in this post! Both words … Read more

Dress for Ritual [PBP]

This post is part of the Pagan Blog Post project. Have you ever thought about dressing for ritual? Have you ever done it? I know many people who don’t wear anything special for ritual .. and I know many who do. Dressing for ritual serves an important function. If you’re leading the ritual, it can … Read more
