It’s been a busy few weeks, but I’ve finally gotten back to this series on Discernment. In my last post in this series, I talked specifically about my religious background, just to give you an idea of who I am and where I come from in this discussion. In the next couple of posts, I’d [...]

Dianne Sylvan wrote at her blog, Dancing down the Moon about what happens when you have a crisis of faith and you don’t have a community to turn to. That’s been the hardest struggle for me in being pagan, finding community. This is what I replied to her post: I’ve been somewhat pagan for years, [...]

Last week I talked about my belief that we each have a path to follow in life. This week, I’d like to explore the idea of how we discern what is true. To start talking about finding truth, though, I must first give a bit of background information about my own belief systems. During my [...]

I was reading a book this morning, and one of the heroines was asked, “Would you be as happy without him?” The question made me stop and think about my own path, and how I came to be where I am, and that being on this path, while hard, has brought to me a level [...]

Seriously, a Leaping Goddess. I want this wall plague so, so, so, so much! I found it at Goddess Gift in the UK. It’s 83 pounds (which is what, about $120 US or so?), and I can only imagine what shipping to the US would cost. You know, I don’t wish for money very often. [...]

You may have heard that Barack Obama has canceled two days worth of campaign events to visit his sick grandmother. If you’re a healing type, join me in sending some healing energy for her over the next couple of days. The word is that she’s deteriorated a great deal and her condition is very serious. [...]

I found this image on another site, and I absolutely love it. The author doesn’t know where she found it. Anyone recoqnize it and know the artist? I seriously want this statue or one like it. I mean seriously. Someday in my copious spare time I want to learn to sculpt.

So, I got laid off a couple of weeks ago (I’ll do a catch up post to let you guys know everything that’s been happening to me recently, there’s a lot). The agency I worked for has just been losing money hand over fist, and they didn’t have many places they could cut. I was [...]

I was following a discussion on a mailing list to which I belong, and someone mentioned the power of our thoughts, not only over ourselves, but over our magic as well. I believe that our thoughts hold great power over us. They constantly affect not only us but the energy we send out into the [...]
