Ye Olde Reading List
I came across this old reading list on Mysticwicks the other day. I like the MW Magazine (I have a couple of articles in early editions) but have neglected the forum for a while now. Anyways it seems 4 years later people are still using this reading list and I realized its not on the Hedge!
It used to be, back in the early days when the Hedge was lavender, pink and pastel green … written by hand in novice HTML code. Remember those days? hehehehe
So for old times sake, here is an old reading list. Not sure if all these books would be on this list today, and I wouldn’t be so bold and arrogant as to separate things into categories such as Beginner or Advanced. But I will let it stand as it was some 4 years ago (or however long its been, has it been that long???)
You can find a somewhat updated list here.
Some Book Suggestions for a Nature Witch
* Books with an asterisk are on Juniper’s favorite list.*
I would recommend reading at least one book in each subject group before moving on to the next level (beginner to intermediate, intermediate to… Continue reading
Leave Room For Me!
A while back, the wife of the creator of Tarot comic book emailed me saying they loved my website and sent me a page from the comic book. I didn’t know there were pagan comics books! Cool.
I love this I had to share it as it shows my own fears for the future of paganism. Well … actually I am less concerned about Paganism becoming suburban and sanitary than I am concerned about Witchcraft. (Yes dammit there is a difference!)
I realized the other day I sound a lot like the older folks from the hippy generation out here, afraid that if we keep getting more and more PC and mainstream that one day we will find ourselves sitting in a square building on pews, the congregation being lead by a soccer Mom in a pink sweater-vest.
It a funny balance you know, the Otherkins, the Elfs and the Vampires and stuff drive me up the wall. I mean people think I am crazy; they haven’t met someone who thinks they are a wolf from outer space.
But the Martha Stewart Witches drive me up the same damned wall. I guess you just can’t please me eh?
Now don’t… Continue reading

Trees are good for you.
Everyone is the hero of the story in his or her own mind.
Chances are, no one is out to get you.
A spiritual path wouldn’t be worth it if it were easy.
There are many approaches to everything.
Please yourself first, but not exclusively.
The sort of people who set up a yurt on the beach and spend a summer cleaning up oil spills, without pay, are amongst the least respected in our society. No good, longhaired, tree-hugging, hippy, eco-terrorists!
If there is a way off this crazy merry-go-round only Buddha knows it.
You can tell the difference between a curse and a run of bad luck, but I couldn’t explain it.
Education does not equate intelligence.
The majority of white people will be pagan again someday, but not any time soon.
Thou art God (really).
But don’t get full of yourself now; most of the entities in the universe can kick your ass.
There is a trend to claim to be god owned in pagan culture right now, this is not something you should lie about kids. The gods are real and not all cupcakes and bunny rabbits.
No one has any… Continue reading
Only The Good Die Young
Two ladies, sisters and both breeders who lived closed to each other, had taken on Maia’s pups. Good friends of my Mom and kind enough to help care for the babes and bring them to their momma dogs.
Sadly, two days ago the hubby of one of the ladies came home to find her passed away on the couch. We still do not know what the cause was but it was probably her heart. Her sister is of course devastated. She was only 56, and had spent her adult life breeding healthy dogs and taking on foster dogs and abused horses.
She was, like many people who take on such causes, the kind of person who would not buy the medication she needed for herself in order to afford medication for an animal that had been abused at the hands of another human being. She was the kind of person who would miss a doctor appointment rather than make a litter of pups miss a feeding.
She was, like many of the best people I have ever met, yet another girl born onto a farm, pulled out of high school by the family (still a common practice amongst farm… Continue reading
