Monday blogging – Why Elliot Rodger is a product of patriarchy

Flashback 2005 – Monday blogging
(I missed a week. Oops!) Back in 2005 an online friend had a witchcraft course running in a forum. The tradition she co-created was Wiccan based. That trad was not for me, but one of the pieces of course work I found very intriguing. It was to rewrite the Charge of the Goddess by Doreen […]

What drives you can and will drive some people away. As for me, I am Boneweaver. BorderWalker. Fine at a distance. Up close and […]
PTSD, triggers, and deflection
An interesting thing happened on the way to the reply button on Facebook. It was synchronicity at its finest. An article popped up from Patheos about a noted Pagan who had been arrested on child pornography charges. He had moved away (physically and spiritually) from his earlier Pagan tradition, but the headline included “Pagan”. Now, anyone who […]
Monday blogging – fun fact
Energy work slows my bowels. Workshops and Witchcamps, my bowels conserve the necessary physical energy for the workings. I appreciate their consideration, but really? I’d rather they remain their normal self and allow me to regulate and manage my physical needs consciously. Since it appears that is a given with intense work I will compensate […]
