I recently visited Bongeunsa Temple in Seoul, South Korea. It was my first visit to a Buddhist temple, and I’m not sure what I expected. It was a week before Buddha’s Birthday, which is celebrated in Korea on May 25th this year. The temple was decorated with lanterns and floats for the celebration. As I…
This post was inspired by the Pagan Experience May posts. Lately my daily divinations have been … interesting. They speak of a trial, of healing a hurt, and walking through the experience. In my Soul Work class at Cherry Hill Seminary last Fall, we talked a lot about moving through the Fire. When you walk…
Greetings to the few of you who follow this blog! As I’ve mentioned before, I am taking classes at Cherry Hill Seminary. One of the classes that I’m taking now is a Public Relations class and our current homework is to understand our audience better! My project is to come up with a PR plan…
Some folks may be aware that I’ve been taking classes at Cherry Hill Seminary I’m into my 3rd semester and I’ve enjoyed all the classes I’ve taken so far and am really enjoying the current classes on Modern Paganisms and Public Relations! This week, I managed to have three reasonably large peices of homework due and…
This week’s Pagan Experience post is about our personal practice. I am following a Druidic path – one that balances reconstruction and experimentation. I find that understanding, why the practices that I’m doing, were done before, helps to deepen my experiences of them. Knowing that what I do today has echoes to the past is…

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!
“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,…
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…
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…
