Should Not Have Done That

Okay so, last week, I broke down and installed the plug-in for wordpress that tells you how many people read your blog, how many hits a blog post gets each day, what search words make people find you and so forth.

 

This was a mistake.

 

I am now having a fucking anxiety attack. HUNDREDS of people read my blog everyday!!!!  Can’t breathe! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

 

I am seriously considering un-installing the bloody thing. Cause I totally should not have done that. It was stupid. Now I’m scared and paranoid. And I don’t understand. WHY ME? I’m NOT special!! GAH!

 

Okay. Okay. I can totally do this. It’s going to be alright.

 

*whimpers*

 

Soooo … uh, yeah. Heh.  Hi there … everyone. How are you?

 

*scuffles feet*

 

Uhhh… yeah. *cough*

 

Now I’m afraid to write stuff.

 

*hides*

Protected Birds

For those who are wondering, here is the list of protected birds in Canada. Note that Corvids are not on the list.

Now in some parts of the world you can’t even touch roadkill … in others you can safely gather found dead animals and do as you please, so long as you don’t sell the parts. In other parts of the world you can sell the parts or use them for religious purpose etc. I once found a dead owl on the side of the road at a truck stop, and a RCMP officer helped me remove some feathers and carry it into the woods and say a prayer over the body.

So please, don’t write to me screaming about how I broke laws with my dead neighbour the crow. I know what I’m doing folks.

Look! A Press Release!

The Pagan Newswire Collective continues to grow and expand as new local bureaus take root all across the country and group blog projects bring together the experience and expertise of Pagans from a wide variety of traditions and communities to share their insights into subjects from politics to pop culture, and everything in between. The most recent addition to the PNC is No Unsacred Place: Earth and Nature in Pagan Traditions.

No Unsacred Place explores the relationships between religion and science, nature and civilization from a diversity of modern Pagan perspectives. With climate change ever-present in today’s cultural and political discourse, and the realities of ecological destruction increasingly impacting our local communities and daily lives, questions about how we live as members of this jeweled, blue-green planet are no longer merely abstract philosophical musings or theological exercises. While cultures throughout history offer us examples of human beings in relationships of worship, stewardship, domination and exploitation of the Earth, modern Paganism is unique in drawing together the wisdom and ecocentric focus of ancient religions with the insights into the physical world afforded by modern science and technology.

No Unsacred Place draws inspiration for its title from the contemporary American poet… Continue reading
