It’s nice that people find their paths. It’s wonderful that there are a myriad of pagan paths out there to be trod - different strokes for different folks, and all that. I’m glad there is diversity. I like seeing all the different pagan religions.
But I get -really- tired of people using Wicca as something to point to as ‘pagan lite’. It’s nice that you feel...

dark of the moon.
I have so many new shiny things coming in the mail soon. The only thing about shopping online: the waiting’s the hardest part. I am not known for my patience. Keep an eye out for new labradorite in the future - the last few pieces I made sold in less than a week. If you like it, buy it ASAP - otherwise you’ll miss it.
Worth mentioning: I also take commissions for custom pieces, and...

equinox.
I don’t usually ‘celebrate’ this holiday. We usually still have snow well into April. This year we’ve had sprouting bulbs since February. This year, we went from a killer snowstorm to 20° C. within the space of a week and a half. So. We have spring (although it feels more like summer the last couple days.)
I’m not entirely happy about this. It is nice to have the...

I got a reply from my bead supplier; they’re reshipping my order for me. That’s all I wanted to happen; I have been shopping there for several years and really hoped it wouldn’t be an issue. But they’re great. <3
Hopefully it arrives this time!
If you bead or are interested in jewelry, you should check out Beadaholique.

grr.
Just got my latest bead order. But not.
Because what was delivered to my door was an empty, unsealed envelope. It looks like the sealant failed on the envelope, flap is wide open and no attempt was made to reseal it with tape or anything else. But it also looks like something stapled to the envelope was removed. I have no way of knowing if it was seized at the border, lost due to packaging fail,...

dewognatos said: Do you mind sharing what each of them are for? I don’t recognize all the symbols or images.
The first photo is, left to right, a candle for my wildwood shrine, a crann beatha for Bíle, one for Danu, and one for Lugh.
Second photo are for a Heathen friend; Freyja, Odhinn, a bindrune candle he asked for, and a representation of Yggdrasil.
Third photo is Hathor and Sekhmet;...

The air is warm, and the breeze full-flowing. My windows are all open, and I have met the Air with joy, and pleasure. Sweet incense is drifting through my home, and my cats point their faces with squint-eyed smiles into the sun.
It’s not spring yet, but the Sun is showing its’ strength, growing brighter…
I don’t typically hold out much for spring here. But for the...

elemental.
Sometimes you’ll see people talking about ‘their’ element. It is something that you see very often with beginners to both Pagan spiritualities and witchcraft - there’s a degree of encouragement to discover what element they might ‘be’.
It’s not a new idea, but rather one that’s been around for some time. In the relatively recent past, the film...

i am attempting to beat a burgeoning migraine into submission with…loud music. i don’t think this would work for most people, but so long as i’m not having a sound-sensitive headache I crank the volume and cram my head full of grindy metal noise. it’s probably counter-intuitive to reach for the metal and industrial noise i favour as music when your head’s throbbing,...

What Is Pagan?
Not all Pagans are the same. This should go without saying, but there is a extant and prevalent belief that Paganism is somehow a single organism, a unified faith that believes the same and practices the same. And it’s not true.
‘Pagan’ is an umbrella term. It means ‘non-Abrahamic’. That’s it. It doesn’t serve as anything other than a very broad...

stuff.
I sat down with a cup of tea this morning, and sorted through some of my posts. Well, I say sorted - I got Virgo-obsessive about the whole thing, really. So there’s some new links down the left hand side of my Tumblr.
The ‘Altar And Shrine Index’ is just a linked list to pictures I’ve posted. It’s mostly just for reference.
‘The Author’ is some personal...

a small thing.
People, patron and matron are not interchangeble terms.
Patron comes from the Latin ‘patronus’, and means ‘one who gives benefit to his clients’. The root of the word is ‘pater’, or ‘father’.
Being a patron means that you are a person of status, or means, who can support another person in this way. Having a patron implies that there is a...
