alight with sadness
for that which is passing
my words conform
to that which is around me,
within me and without of me...
i am alone,
though i am by your side.
we want to walk together, holding hands
but always there is a point of letting go.
it is so sad
to lose you,
as we've lost before.
the only consolation
ever, is that we meet again.
this life, or next,
in time,
we are all everything to one…

You lean in as my breath is taken, Oxygen pulsing threw my veins, A steady beat, Keeping me alive, And yet still I catch you off guard, As I say, “This human condition” With tears in my eyes, “No longer sleeps” Beneath the skin, The blood begins to boil, “Freya why do you not hear me?” This heart of mine contains strength, But maybe my fate doesn’t contain love, “Or is this a test?” To measure the power within, Find where my faith lingers, A spirit of hope and dreams, My soul will rest with my…

When you cast your circle and create your magicks... do you use poetry? The reason I ask is because when I was new to paganism I was told that all spells had to be done poetically. I was very frustrated because though I love to read poetry... it takes me days to write a poetically correct passage. I no longer need poetry.. I just communicate and that seems to work for me. But what about you?

Today at work all I heard from every direction was what people were going through trying to get ready for the "big day" (Christmas). It didn't bother me... I just oohed and aahed to everything they said. Later in the day someone brought up that I had it easy because I wasn't Christian. A fairly new... and rather young woman.. asked "you aren't Christian?" I responded no, I am pagan. She asked "Why did you become a pagan?" I responded... so I don't have to do any shopping in December. She looked…

A question was posed on the Hounds of Anubis bulletin board on www.theneopagans.com (an online Pagan community - essentially a MYSPACE for PAGANS).
Sometimes, when I have a moment of deep meditative thought regarding the answer to question, I like to share it with friends - hoping maybe it'll help or just give them a smile.
Here is my reply below...

It has always interested me to hear opinions on this topic. Personally I prefer solitary, with some fun with groups on line and social rituals.
I find people to be NUTS and hate to say it..so many groups focused on Drama. I like finding peace in nature and although I truly enjoy large group rituals, or social gatherings. I tend to stay solitary. It is so hard to find the right mix of people to have a closed coven with and keep the focus on what is important and not all the silly human…

"Bide the Wiccan Law ye must,
In perfect love and perfect trust.
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:
And ye harm none, do what ye will.
What ye send forth comes back to thee
so ever mind the law of three.
Follow this with mind and heart,
Merry ye meet, and merry ye part."
The one law that we are to follow, but it's an extremely important one. To cause no harm doesn't mean only physical pain but any hurt or pain in the slightest. To show…

Hi all,
What a great site (already made so many new and interesting friends). I'm sitting here on a cold, gray, and rainy Pittsburgh day thinking about the long strange trip that led to my eventual foray into cyber (and real-time) neopaganism.... The survey that we take when joining this site is a bit strange, so this blog entry is my feeble attempt to provide a suitable (hopefully not boring) introduction(!)
I was raised a country boy (lots of chickens around, along with…

Hecate
"I am Hecate, Goddess of ancient Greece, guardian of the unconscious, mistress of the night, the dark side of the triple moon Goddess. I am Hecate, Queen of all witches, sorceress, seductress, phychic, crone, hag. I ride through the night sky, bathing the landscape in supernatural light. I am Hecate, I command earth, sea, and sky. I control your menstrual cycles; I am the ultimate feminine." During medieval Times, pagans were being tortured based on their belief in the Goddess…

Spiral Lord
He Who Creates from His Heart
The God of the underworld embodies life, poised at the moment of beginning. Even in the dark of night we have the promise that a new day will dawn. And also in the darkness the earth in the rich black soil, encased in a hard dark seed coat, seeming lifeless, exists all the energy of new life. The fallow period of our natural seasons assured the ancients that the cycles of our lives also continue on.
The Underworld God…

A psychologist friend recently told me that all prayer is self talk. He is an athiest. He says that no matter if you pray silently like most Christian religions or chanting out loud like many non-christians... it is still just self talk. If you want something bad enough you will talk yourself into figuring out a way to get it. When we get the "idea" of how to get what we want... it is then considered an answer from our God or Goddess. In his opinion when we ask a question, we already know the…

Often I will hear of an atrocity that one human has done to another... or to a child or animal. When I hear of these things my first response has always been "I don't get it" or "I don't understand how someone could do that". Someone told me once... "Be thankful you don't get it, or don't understand it. If you did... you would be just like them!"
I thank Goddess... I don't get it!

Enlightened about chakras great, now its time to regress.
Take a moment to reflect on the day's experience good or bad, or both , and envision a miscellaneous trash can.
ball all your concerns up like a piece of paper, and throw it, drop it, or dunk it in to that trash.
now all you will be able to see is black.
Now as big and bold as day in bright white cartoon numbers, count from 100 to 1.
OUT LOUD please...
I want you to
see and say these numbers take your…
