You’ll often hear that the best tools are those you made yourself. To some extent, I have to agree. There’s just something about using (as a tool, offering or decoration) something that you’ve made yourself and are proud of. I don’t believe that you have to make all your tools, but making at least some items that you use…
[This is a post for the Pagan Blog Project – click here for all PBP 2014 posts] Breathe, it’s one of the most important thing that we do with our bodies. It’s how we get oxygen into our lungs and thus into our body, and how we get the toxic gasses back out of our…
Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to avoid it, one of the Kindred will insist that you pay attention to them. Lately, that’s Arianrhod for me. I’ve finally given in. The reason that I’ve been avoiding Her is that she is the mother of Lleu Llaw Gyffes, a god that I work with, and…
