Sit with these thoughts for awhile
On another journal a discussion was rounding out about crime and people committing them being more rather than less poor, younger rather than older, non-white rather than white, etc. One commenter rather eloquently spoke about it. I wanted to share it because I believe it is worth reading and just sitting with it for a […]
Old habits, hard death
When things get really tight in my life I start to fall back on old bad habits, the kind that die hard. Why is that? Why do I not fall back on the old good habits? So, partly based on work we did in coven last night, partly based on self-reflection surrounding what’s in my […]

“Busy, busy, busy!” said in the magician’s voice from Frosty the Snowman
This past weekend was another trip to Baltimore for a spiritual intensive. The focus in this one was the Black Heart of Innocence. It is a testament to the quality of my covenmates that when one of them taught the black heart to me it stuck in a way that will never leave me and […]
I seem to tend to pieces of myself instead of the whole

Does checking Facebook count as Daily Practice?
Sure it does. It may however not count as Daily Spiritual Practice (DSP). Perhaps it depends on who shows up on your newsfeed there. I have some pretty decent friends who post some wondrously deep articles, graphics and posts. Farming them out of the humongous heap of political angst and LOLcats can be a bit […]

I have ~issues~ They look like this o_O
I sometimes have difficulty with household tasks because I get distracted. It is similar to the way I tell a story and I run right and left and diagonal tossing off tangents. I start a task and while I’m deep in it I see the next task. Far be it from me to put it next […]
Eggshell Walking and Sticky Feet
We’ve done it and we’ve had it done around us. When someone is particularly prickly and either we are ill equipped to deal with it or simply not feeling up to dealing with it we "walk on eggshells". I was talking to The Daughter this morning about the upcoming vacation and her SO. I’ve been […]
