  • Hedge News

    First up in the News
    I soapbox rant of mine made it on Witchvox last week. No great surprise there right? Another rant on the Vox.
    What was surprising was is it actually lit a fire in the online pagan community at large, albeit a very small one.
    I am no psychologist nor sociologist so I will not hazard a guess as to why this article, of all articles would catch on so well myself. Well I will but I’m not sharing them [...]

  • Beltaine at Misty Acres

    I am hosting Beltaine (May 1st to 3rd, its a weekend) at my farm, Misty Acres.

    Please come out and enjoy 55 acres in southern British Columbia that backs onto thousands of acres of back country. Misty Acres is located on a mountainside between Grand Forks and Greenwood.
    Misty Acres has access to the Trans Canada trail on the property. There are several lakes nearby as well as the Kettle Valley river, which is world renown for its inner-tubing (though [...]

  • Who I Am

    Trickster is what I am
    Crooked is the Path I walk
    Satire is the language I speak
    Knowledge is what I seek
    Acceptance is what I will never have
    Space cadet is what they call me
    Lost and not-lost is how I feel
    Trust and truth is how I cope
    Before the Horned One do I kneel
    My soul was part of the deal
    Strange is the life I lead
    Lonely is what my heart beats
    A different road lies beneath my feet
    Curiosity is what drives me
    Controversy is what I stir up
    Coyote [...]

  • Patty and the Snakes

    One upon a time
    On the misty moors of old Erin (Ireland)
    The people had a faith
    We now call pagan
    They loved the land and honored their dead
    They were good folk
    Folk like you and I
    And their Druids were oft called
    The “serpents of wisdom”
    For the snake did symbolize
    Wisdom
    Hidden meanings, cycles
    Life and death
    And the gods and goddesses
    Then along came a man named Patrick
    Who said to his priests and armed men
    “Lets us drive out these snakes
    From the shores of green Ireland”
    And so he did, with word [...]

  • Another Article on Witchvox

    An article I wrote a while back about how people need to stop complaining there are not enough Elders and start working on becoming Elders themselves was put up on witchvox this week. I was out of town and didn’t know until I got home!
    Thank you everyone who has emailed me, and I promise to get back to everyone. Might take me a week but I will.
    I have gotten the strongest response from HPs and community leaders, half a dozen [...]

  • What a Flagger Does for a Living … and Dies for

    (I wrote this one years ago, but I still bring it out every spring when the roads open up and the construction season begins)
    My mother is a Traffic Control Person, also known as a flagger. You know, one of those people in the orange or yellow vest who stop you at construction sites.
    Many people hate to see a flagger with a stop or slow sign in their hand step in front of their vehicle. After all, you don’t want to [...]
