Religious fit and pivotal moments
There was a handfasting this weekend. In my religion this is one of the things we do in addition to/in lieu of a traditional wedding ceremony. Traditional being defined as the dominant culture’s take on it which for me is the social structure of the U.S. Being part of a minority religion can make for […]
Morning Breezes Chant
Watersong and Brook (music path facilitators at Witchcamp 2012) made me believe that anyone can sing, anyone can write chants, and that it is okay to put your voice out there. (Doing so is a fierce act of bravery for me.) Below is one of the chants I created for a workshop Bone and Briar […]

A Highlight of Witchcamp
There were a lot of well thought out parts to Spiralheart’s Summer Witchcamp Intensive this year at Four Quarters Farm in PA. One that I enjoyed thoroughly from inception to action to residual effect was the healing circle that occurred mid week. This year was billed as a shadow year and the RATs (ritual arc team) felt a […]
Gratitude Project; Day 2
Today I am grateful for the tomato plant the fairies planted. Prior to discovering the magic of invisible deer fencing a wee tomato plant grew next to the water meter. The deer of course found it and bit it to a stub, but not before I had seen it. Tomatoes are annuals and I hadn’t […]
Gratitude Project 2013; Day 1; guidelines and why I do it
Once again I nod to estaratshirai who started the Gratitude Project. I joined this myself in 2004 on Livejournal. The Gratitude Project runs from Lammas to Mabon. It entails you being mindful of whatever brings you Joy and you journal “the something” you are grateful for each day between those Sabbats. No repeats – you can be grateful […]
Black Heart of Innocence
For a good slot of yesterday this chant rang through my head and past my lips: “Humble yourself in the arms of the wild, You gotta lay down low, and humble yourself in the arms of the wild, You gotta ask Her what She knows. And we will lift each other up, Higher and higher, […]
Transformative camp in the Reclaiming tradition
Are you seeking personal and community transformation? Wishing to take a peek at the shadows that live in the corners of your soul? Explore, go deep, and touch the best hidden parts of you. Some you may want to turn inside out. Some you may choose to leave be and lovingly accept as an integral […]
What moves through you
Shimmery Dust (Ancestor/Descendant) Drink the blood of your ancestors while you sift ashes through bones; collect their wisdom in pulpous marrow. Cells of virgin blood infuse you with all the stories of joys and regrets, deaths and rebirths. All that was, is. All that is, wants to be. ~Pamela V Jones ©June 2013
Good to have my brain back
The body got jacked pretty badly from a number of things, back to neck to that damn headache. It took days this time, more than a week to get decently right again. I surrendered to the twisted pain, engaged in proper self care (mostly). Finally on oday I have just a touch of tightness from […]
