My dad used to have a badass ability that kind of drove me nuts, even as I envied it. Dude could melt into the scenery like nobody was there. I swear I spent days of my life just looking for him in the woods, and I would walk right by him over and over and […]
How arrogant are we? Well, I’ll tell ya. We are so arrogant that we think we have to “create sacred space” before we do any magical working, when we are actually living on the body of a Living Goddess. Western Magical Tradition is bound up so tightly with the Christian idea of the separation of […]
I’ve been reading and thinking about the Pyramids. You know the ones, pointy, crumbling, surrounded by desert, associated with dead kings and such, Yeah, those pyramids. Valley of the Kings type pyramids. Scientists, archaeologists, engineers, architects, mystics, Egyptologists, and crackpots have been trying to figure out for literally centuries, how they did that. How the […]
What would happen if, instead of a boy, the Earth-Mother’s Solstice birthing produced a girl? I have a fuzzy idea of where that thought came from, but I don’t think it really matters.

When you visualize yourself on your mind’s movie screen, are you simply watching yourself do things, or are you inside your body experiencing the world around you? This is important for your spiritual development. Which is it? Are you simply watching your, for want of a better word avatar, go through motions, or are you […]
The Sun God stood in the tower at sunset and allowed melancholy to seep into his bones. He was tired. So tired. It had been a long summer, and climate change was making his job so much harder. Trying to control the strength of storms and the intensity of light, trying to hold back the […]
No, I’m not saying felt is sentient (though I have seen some smart felt), nor am I saying that felting is a sensible thing to do (although it is pretty cool). Heartfelt thanks go out to my dear friend Lynn for putting these two words together in my ears. Felt. Sense. Felt sense. Here’s the […]
