Cottage Craft & Wild Witcheries

I am teaching a class for mysticwicks at their Circle of Teaching

it starts up Jan 11th, register with the CoT and message me to enroll!

Cottage Craft & Wild Witcheries is for anyone looking to integrate their spiritual and magickal practice with their daily lives, from the kitchen to the garden, from the family room to the wilderness. A magickal practice does not cease once you pass through your front door, whether you are heading inside or out, as such this class will bring the magickal into the mundane and teach you how to carry it with you wherever you go, be that in your home, a vacant lot in the heart of the city, or at a nature reserve.
Our goal is to explore creating both a Home-based and Nature-based practice of Witchcraft, the class will not be specific to any one Tradition (Wicca, Heathen etc) but provide a framework that you can use to create a workable practice of your own or build around any Tradition that you already practice.
This class will be accessible for those new to Witchcraft but will also provide a challenge for anyone looking to move beyond Paganism 101. It is written… Continue reading

All We Have to Offer

Don’t say anything negative

Don’t rock the boat

Don’t weed the garden

Just let Paganism get over grown

*

You have to stay positive

Even when it’s stupid

Just smile and sing

Even if it’s boring

*

Don’t go looking

For anything harder

Don’t think any deeper

Paganism 101

Is all we have to offer

We’ve got next to nothing

For your generation

We never once thought

The kids we raised on this stuff

Would one day find it quite stale

Might find the worry and bother

Over lighting right colored candles

To be redundant and pale

*

So shut up kid

Don’t you complain

Offering more than Wicca 101

Seems like such a pain

*

Just study the same subjects

Again and again

See how it’s just a little different

Each and every time?

We are satisfied

You’re not

And we don’t know why?

Oak and Holly

In the deepest and darkest slumber

When the world is plunged in cold and snow

The Earth rests gripped in the heart of Winter

Cloaked in ice and freezing winds that harshly blow

The King who wears the Holly crown

Sits high upon His icy throne

*

We with one ear pressed to the frozen ground

Do hear the sounds of returning warmth

With creaks and groans the Goddess gives birth

To a Son of Oak and light and mirth

Just as the Sun begins its slow return

*

As the Oak babe is suckled and fed

A meal of warming earth and melting snow

The Holly King begins to feel his age

As crocus blooms and tulips push through

Holly knows his time is near an end

Youth no more, now a wise sage

*

On the day that we call Equinox

Young Oak and old Holly now

Stand as equals in the Earth’s heart

Though we know that some day soon

Sadly one will have to depart

*

And so the chase has begun

Round from Winter to Summer’s return

Oak gives chase as Holly leads the race

When wise old Holly can no longer run

He draws… Continue reading
