A few months ago, the goddess Freya called to me at a ritual at Stone City last year. Since then I’ve worked with her a bit and done some research on her. Freya is one of the Vanir who went to Asgard as a diplomatic hostage in the war between the Vanir and Aseir. She…
For some reason E is giving me a hard time in the Pagan Blog Project .. with so many options, you’d have thought that it would be easy. I dread what happens when we reach Q! Today I would like to talk about what we do everyday. I don’t mean the whole sleep-eat-shower-sex (if we’re…
There are so many different ways to define the elements and most of it depends on what traditions you follow. Wiccans are often heavily involved with the elements, using them to define their working circles as well as invoking them in their work. Other traditional witches that I’ve known use the associations and energies of the elements in their working.
So I’m late with this week’s blog post for D, and I couldn’t decide what to write it on. There are a lot of different topics to choose from, but given my last few months I think that a “Duh” is in order. There are those times where you think you can do it, you…

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…
