Family, Faith, Food... FUN!
Back when I first started this blog (and, let's face it, when I still needed something to write about, lol), I did these "[Insert Sabbat Here] In a Week" series, where I would share a little something every day for a week leading up to each sabbat. I really should do that again! Especially since I apparently have never done it for Ostara and therefore have nothing to link. Bah. Anyway, I … [Read more...]
This time of year always evokes some pretty strong emotions in me, mostly because I have such fond memories of the holiday season from my childhood. Despite not celebrating Christmas in the same sense anymore, there's still this magickal feeling that takes over every year, a feeling that I absolutely want to instill in our own children. Since we are interfaith, there are many ways in which our … [Read more...]
A very happy holiday to anyone observing this month. Like the ones in February, April, July, and August, below is the section of the email sent to all NASA Goddard employees with the holidays for the month of July, including some links at the bottom with additional information and a diversity calendar. As always, thank you to Matt for sharing! October 1 Sukkot (Feast of Booths) (Jewish): … [Read more...]

Holidays to balance out your hot and sticky summer! Thank heavens, too -- we all need something other than air conditioners, swimming pools, and ice-cold lemonade to keep us afloat as we roast. (Though honestly, none of those are all that bad.) Nothing for us Pagans this month, but still plenty to go around! A very happy holiday to anyone observing this month. :) Like the ones in February … [Read more...]
Happy Pagan Coming Out Day! :D Pagan Coming Out Day Every year, the day after Beltane, comes a time when you get to come out in all your Pagany glory. I've asked y'all to share your coming-out stories on my Facebook page, and as promised, below is a survey that you can share with everyone as well. According to PCOD: Coming out to someone is a decision only you can make and it’s a decision … [Read more...]
To those in the Northern hemisphere who celebrate, a very happy and fun-filled Beltane to you! And to those brothers and sisters to the south, happy Samhain!! Since Matt and I will be out celebrating his favorite Sabbat (lol) with a bunch of friends and good drinks tonight, and considering I have work today, I don't have a great amount of time for a large Beltane post. Therefore, I'm going to … [Read more...]
I was hoping to get one for last month, but sadly, I didn't. That's okay, though! Matt's workplace still does these, and it's nice to see how inclusive they are of all religions. (See all the way at the bottom for Beltane!) Like the one in February, below is the section of the email sent to all NASA Goddard employees this morning with the holidays for the month of April, including some links at … [Read more...]
On the first of every month, my husband's employer (NASA Goddard) sends out an email with activities and events going on at the Center, including a list of all the celebrations for that month. One would absolutely expect nationally-recognized holidays to be on there, as well as Christian ones as they're the religious majority. Surprisingly, though, and this was pointed out to me by Matt when he … [Read more...]
I feel like such a slump recently. This year has been incredibly busy around here: My job is really picking up, I'm helping my sister and her fiance plan their wedding for the end of this year or so, we're doing a lot of traveling for various reasons (family, vacations, work-related), I've got a side project that is currently in the works, and I've been trying to get out a little more because, … [Read more...]
