A Pagan vegetarian wife and Jewish omnivore husband makin' it work!
I consider this our first "autumn" season since Matt and I moved to Maryland in December 2009. Our first such season here, we pretty much missed it as we were in south Florida gettin' hitched (and if you're from or have ever experienced Florida, you know there are two seasons: HOT AS BALLS for about 10 months, and NOT QUITE AS HOT for about two. Fortunately, our wedding fell on a day between those … [Read more...]
This has been a rather insane week as far as the weather is concerned, especially for the Midatlantic region. We experienced an earthquake on Tuesday (my first, Matt's second) that rippled through Virginia and affected North Carolina all the way through New England and even into Canada. Shortly after, preparations were underway in these same areas for a hurricane that still looms on the horizon … [Read more...]
I've been following Pagan Blog Prompts for a while, and though I just finished a whole series on a Sabbat, I figured... why not one more Pagan-related post this week. Ooh, and it's Theological Thursday, yay! This one is inspired by the blog mentioned above, wherein they ask a question regarding shopping for your magickal tools and other tchotchkes (I love that word, it makes you think of little … [Read more...]
Thanks so much to everyone who participated in Beltane In A Week! It was a fun week indeed, and an equally fun weekend was spent celebrating the Sabbat.But the festivities don't end there... absolutely not! For those of you local to the MD/DC area, a festival this weekend to honor the Green Man is going on in Greenbelt, Maryland, and Matt and I will be attending to dance the Maypole and … [Read more...]
It's a beautiful day to be green. :)I hope everyone who celebrates Easter has or had a wonderful day! Since we don't celebrate Easter around here (at least, not in the religious sense, and since this is a VERY special holiday, we don't even bother with anything), our Earth Day celebrations instead went on well past the actual day on 22 April, as we got both a lawn mower and took a trip to Lowe's. … [Read more...]
"Brief Repose"Despite my allergies (which are raging and disastrous and just generally making life miserable at the moment), I absolutely love this time of year: When the cold air gives way to warm breezes, when the bare tree limbs suddenly appear lush with green foliage, when the daffodils come out to play and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. It's spring in Maryland, and I'm reveling in yet … [Read more...]
Not long ago, I made a post about going green. Most notably, my water bottle usage was off the charts -- while my kidneys were dancing with excitement (all the way to the restroom, I might add), Mother Earth was shaking her head in disdain. After a friend of mine and fellow blogger pointed out, there's a way to make water straight out the tap taste so good, you'd think it was bottled.Enter: The … [Read more...]
Earlier this week, we discussed the broad types of vegetarianism (and diets in general) that exist today. Today I'll be covering reasons why one would want to pursue a diet that completely or partially eliminates meat. While this is, like the last, not at all a comprehensive list of reasons, I hope it serves as a starting point!People go vegetarian (or flexitarian) for many different and often … [Read more...]
I noticed something kinda cool at work today.See, I'm a recycler. One of the greatest perks about our new house is that it came with recycling bins... that are actually utilized. I haven't had a recycling bin that you could just set outside your house to be picked up since I lived with my parents. So I was stoked when I discovered not one, but two recycle bins next to the trash cans on our patio. … [Read more...]
