• Annoyed

  I am growing tired of wishy-washy Pagan speak:
  Well, that is your opinion, this is my opinion.
  But opinions don’t really matter, because everyone is different.
  Unless you place value on other people’s opinions, that is.
  Neither of us is right and neither of us is wrong for anyone but ourselves.
  I however do not judge, I simply perceive for my reality is perception.
  So just do whatever feels right for you, but only if you want to.
  Let each walk their own path.
  You may choose to [...]

• Repost: Instinct vs Research

  This one is on Witchvox this week and is host to a number of typos, I’m not sure how they got there. I must need a proof reader or something. So here is a cleaner version for y’all:
  “This is what happens when you dabble! You can’t practice the Craft while you are looking down your nose at it.” ~ The Aunts from Practical Magic
  So why do I have to do all this required reading and research? Isn’t that work? Its [...]

• Me

  I will be me
  Unequivocally
  Always
  And in every situation
  No audience
  No following
  No friends
  Or family
  Will make me be
  Anything other than
  Me
  I am not a one dimensional character
  I am an onion
  I have many layers
  It may take time
  For them all to see
  All that is me
  Sometimes happy
  Sometimes sad
  Sometimes compassionate
  Sometimes stark raving mad
  Though I am a human being
  And thus I will change and grow
  And often be a different me
  I will still always
  Be me
  But always and forever
  I will be me
  Consistently
  With integrity
  I will be me

• Musings About Life and the Land

  I am a farm girl; I “get” the lambing season at Imbolg as I have spent many sleepless nights in the barn, praying to Brighid as I midwife livestock. I don’t need to be reminded of where my food comes from, I have grown it!
  I don’t need a lesson to tell me how to experience the elements, I have lived in them, and I have worked in them. I have been up to my knees in frozen mud and in [...]

• Things I Understand

  A Simple Life
  By Kat Ballew

  Cows grazing on the mountain side
  horses running wild along the seaside
  Birds singing as they journey past
  and old men telling tales that are unsurpassed
  Butterflies fluttering their wings in the breeze
  And the sun doing everything to appease
  This is the simple life of living
  This is a day of thanksgiving

  The tumbleweed rolls across the desert floor
  The owl sings a song and is the nights decor
  The fireflies flash their lights in harmony
  And the crickets they do play for all a symphony
  The [...]

• Don’t Think!

  Balance.
  Yes yes yes.
  That checkbook, that bank account, that job you do, the errands you run. Keep pilling shit on the teeter totter and never stop to wonder … why is this shit on my teeter totter? Whats does it mean? How do I feel about it?
  The things that need changing and fixing the most is our society and culture. This conformist, mindless, horrid world where the gross domestic product, and keeping up with the Jones’, is the most important and [...]
