  Elemental Castings
  Druidcast
  Hedge Folk Tales
  Celtic Myth Podshow
  SpiritsCast

  Whew, that’s plenty for one blog post. Now go turn off Dr. Phil and start downloading!

• Another of Those “About Me” Posts

  What’s your Path?
  I am a Hedgewitch. Meaning I am a shamanic practitioner of folk magick (that’s the short explanation). My spirituality is Celtic/Anglo-Saxon Paganism. I started in Wicca like many do, but have moved further away from it more and more of time. I am not however a Wicca-basher like many non-Wiccan Witches are.
  Do you have an altar?
  Sometimes I use an altar and sometimes not. An altar is simply a workspace to me. I have laid out elaborate altars on [...]

• 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 [...]

• Diaspora

  Although my feet
  Have never walked
  Upon ancestral lands
  And I’ve never heard
  The winds sing a song
  Across the Motherland
  Though I have never
  Laid my own hands
  Upon a standing stone
  I will sing the old song
  I will honour the old gods
  I will learn the old ways
  And make them new again
  For a man or woman
  Who is without roots
  Finds it all too easy
  To cut down another’s tree
  And so I will connect
  With this New World
  I will love, I will learn
  This, my dear land
  New ways for me to make
  Like forefathers [...]
