Okay. So my dear Bren may or may not have eaten his “Totem” for dinner last week. And I joked about it. A few people had panic attacks about this. So in my usual sweet but sarcastic way let me address this.
First of all, I am the kind of woman who has been known to start pillow fights in the middle of the afternoon in downtown Ottawa. I don’t take life all that seriously. I take my Witchcraft seriously, but [...]
Build you up to tear you down
Spitting on their heroes
Tearing you part
Then holding their hands out
What the hell do they
Think that they doing anyway?
*
They say toughen up and deal
If you want to be our leader
Then harden up your heart
And don’t take it oh so hard
Do they not understand?
Can they not comprehend?
It is that very soft spot
That giant loving heart
That makes you willing and able
To be a Pagan leader
*
They say it’s all trade off
Part and parcel for the fame
As if you [...]
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 [...]
Had a blast in Calgary and in Regina. I will write more about our wonderful experinces in the West as soon as I can
Many thanks to our gracious hosts Susan in Calgary and Erin in Regina (and their families) I will wax poetic about what wonderful hosts they are … when I have a bit more time and am on my own computer.
Today we head for Winnipeg! The city my mother was born in. Hurrah!
In the meantime, I [...]

The laypagans have been getting on my nerves lately. That’s my problem, not theirs, I’m big enough to admit it.
I believe that people need to shake free of this McWicca mentality and stop looking for easy way to anything.
However … we can’t fault laypagans for being laypagans.
Not all of us are called to a deeper path, not all of us are smart, or educated, or disciplined.
Some of us may have learning disabilities or have other things going on in our [...]
