I performed this ritual this morning. I meditated for a while, then did the ritual, and then meditated for a while afterwards. In my meditations, I tried to make myself open to guidance on where I should be going from here. What are my next steps in life. I was using one of the techniques [...]

Yes…again…
I’ve had marginally more energy this week, so I decided it’s time to try working on the grounding exercise again. I tried in the morning, but I tend to just fall asleep, so I thought I would try some while I was taking the doggies out before bed this evening.
I started by taking my [...]

I’m always running across interesting people as I surf the web, and you know, I never share them with you folks who read my blog.  So, today I’m a sharin’ (sorry, the lady in question is a Texan, and she’s bringin’ out mah accent here).  If you are offended by profanity, I suggest you not [...]

It comes as no surprise to anyone who has read this blog for more than 5 minutes that I consider myself at least somewhat Pagan and am very attracted to Wicca and to the Reclaiming tradition.  The one thing I’ve always felt a disconnect on is this whole idea of “earth based religion”.  I mean, [...]

A couple of things running around in my head today….
First…for you Pagans out there…the Pagan Unity Campaign.  I actually had a survey last week that included Wiccan under the religion question.  It’s a start, but it kind of ignored every Pagan out there that wasn’t Wiccan.  I answered “Other”.  Still, remind your representatives that this [...]

I’ve had a lot of convent dreams since I left the convent about 13 years ago. At first, they were persecution type dreams. I was still in, but was being constantly belittled. Later, I was going back, but it was obvious that even though they took me back, I wasn’t really wanted. Lately, the dreams [...]

So, as I’ve said before, I’m reading the Twelve Wild Swans.  I started it before surgery with my Pagan Book Discussion group, but had to quit while I was so sick.  I’m back to it now and working through it on my own, since the group decided to close membership while I was gone.  The [...]

I started back this morning on reading The Twelve Wild Swans.  Since it’s been a good 6 months since I last worked on this book, I decided to start over from the beginning.
It’s always interesting when I start reading about anything regarding the Goddess.  Obviously, anything by Starhawk is going to include discussions of the [...]

Do you ever have these great thoughts while in the shower or doing laundry or washing the dishes or something, and think to yourself, “I really need to put this down in the journal”. But later, when you sit down in front of the computer to type up those profound thoughts (*snickers* profound…I crack myself [...]

I've been spending a lot of time updating my website lately, which of course leads me to thinking about religious life.  (For those curious, my website is Consecrated Life, a site for women wanting to become a sister or nun in the Roman Catholic Church).  Many of you may not know this, but I seriously [...]
