A random collection of thoughts on a variety of topics
Today I’d like to talk about community. It seems to be a very appropriate subject for the Pagan Blog Project which is all about building the online pagan community. In the last year, I have been getting more involved with the local and online pagan communities. I’ve joined a local ADF grove, a local working…
Cosmology is defined as the study of “the universe as a whole: its birth, growth, shape, size and eventual fate.” (“Introduction: Cosmology”). In modern science, this study is limited to the stars around us and the evolution of the physical galaxy. To the ancient people, there was not a whole lot more universe than the…
For this Pagan Blog Project post, I’d like to introduce you to an exercise that I learned first from T. Thorn Coyle in one of her Battle Goddess seminars. When I was a little Witch, I learned how to ground, but I sometimes have a challenging time not grounding out too much energy. This technique…
Here’s the fourth post in the Pagan Blog Project Series. Bone breathing is a technique that has been used by yogis for a while, but is also very useful for anyone with any kind of health challenge or who wants to maintain good health. I first learned of bone breathing from a yoga practioner friend…
A little late again this week on the Pagan Blog Project, but at least I am posting 🙂 This week I’d like to talk about our breath. On a purely biological level, breathing is crucial to our survival as it brings oxygen into our bodies and gets rid of the toxic-to-us carbon dioxide. On a…

Over on Medowsweet & Myrrh, Alison is working through a meme based on the 30 days of Paganism. My goal is to write a post for each of the 30 Days of Druidry .. but not in 30 days, and not without interruption for other things, and maybe even not in order 🙂 So come…
Why Druidry is an interesting question. As readers of this blog will know, I came to paganism through the Wiccan path and got to a point where it didn’t fit any more. Or not totally. I’m not quite sure when I realized that I was more of a Druid than a Witch .. I’m still…
I have to admit that I’m a bit of a geek .. okay a lot of a geek, and I love having electronic versions of books! I find it easier to read eBooks because I can have all the books with me wherever I am with my iPad, and as such I can read whatever…
One of my challenges in finishing a project, course of study, etc is distractions. I’m terribly distractible . “Oh Shiny!” and I’m off … this does not bode well for finishing projects, courses, etc. I am going to finish the ADF DP. This is a notice to myself, and a request to others to help me keep focused….
