… or how I became a witch. Growing up, I spoke with faeries in our garden, and in the woods, and my friends gardens, and I thought nothing of it. As I got older, I realized that other people didn’t see the beings that I did, in fact, other people rarely saw the world as…
Later this month, in the middle of NaBloPoMo, I’ll be moving. Part of the changes when moving is stetting up my new sacred space. There’s a number of different things that you can do for your sacred space depending on how much space and privacy you have. The key about your space is that it’s somewhere that…
Friday’s prompt asked how we write. For me it depends. I have a hand written journal that I keep for my morning meditations, and then a lot of different files for my other writings. There’s something much more personal for me about hand writing my thoughts, but I’ve spent so much of my live with…
Magic or Magick? Different people spell it different ways. I’m talking about the spiritual, witchcraft, ceremonial type of magic here, not stage illusions.

I love reading blogs .. and following blogs. Sometimes I think I like following them more than reading them, but you get some of the most interesting things from random blogs.

Around mid last year, I joined the ADF with the idea to get the Dedicant program done in a year. And then life happened. So here I am, almost 6 months later and I’m not very far into the program. I’ve waffled a bit, on understanding if I wanted to focus on the ADF…
Today is the first day of a new experiment. I’m planning on participating in the NaBloPoMo for November in an effort to try to write more. If you’re not familar with it, NaBloPoMo is the National Blog Post Month. For me it’s an experiment to see if I can actually post daily! I’m currently studying…
Blessed Samhain everyone! On this Samhain day, I’d like to share with you a re-telling of the Persephone myth that I wrote for our local group’s ritual. Enjoy The Story of Persephone Once upon a time, when the world was still young, the Harvest Goddess had a daughter, Persephone. The young woman was enamored of…
“Slow down to speed up” It’s a phrase that I have heard a few times lately … It’s great and something I should do more often. Too often in today’s world, we’re racing around to get a lot of different things done. And done all at once. There’s family and school and work and social…
