A Pagan vegetarian wife and Jewish omnivore husband makin' it work!
Welcome to TCC’s [Insert Pagan Holiday] in a Week series! It’s been a while since I’ve done this, so I kind of feel like I’m throwing y’all into it, but hey, that’s one way to get a party going, isn’t it! Samhain is in less than a week, and I’ve got much to share with you before the Witches’ New Year: Lots of folklore, history, correspondences, and ritual. Since it’s also … [Read more...]
Today's post is all about tools! I thought this would be a short entry considering how few tools I actually own, but you know me -- always rather verbose. ;) Prompt: Your Tools What tools do you use, if any? Tarot or other divination tools? Athame, chalice, candles, wand, etc? Why have you chosen to use these tools? How do you prepare and maintain them? Where/how do you store … [Read more...]
The weather is cool and crisp, with a slight hint of humidity that holds the chill in the air. When this weather comes around, I can't help but anticipate days of hot drinks, warm blankets, soft couch cushions, and comforting books as snow swirls around our house. In preparation, I picked up a few books today, then realized I had a decent-sized Pagan library. Then I figured I'd share some with … [Read more...]
This week has been an absolute whirlwind, and in an effort to both slow it down and create a space that is soothing and spiritual, I've been rearranging our third bedroom as an "altar room." It's not even close to finished as I have quite a few things to move out and some decorating to do, but by the time it's done, I'm hoping to use it as a place where I can do private ritual and yoga … [Read more...]
Oh, how appropriate today's Pagan blog prompt is! Despite that, it was still difficult to answer: Prompt: Ethical Eating How does your faith guide you in how you buy and eat food? Are you vegan (or vegetarian) because of the ethics your faith imposes? Or have you chosen to be that way for other reasons? Do your beliefs even have anything to do with how you eat? Maybe I should start at … [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...]
For today's Litha In A Week, I'm also setting up a linkup where you can link to your own crafts and Litha goodies! If you want to participate, I'll have it at the end of this post. :) Looking forward to your submissions! Here are some great craft ideas to get your Litha kicked off in a festive and creative way! These crafts, unless otherwise indicated, are great for kids, too, so be sure to get … [Read more...]
Can you believe it? Litha's coming up in one short week! It really sneaked up on me this year, and between everything going on in life and things still to come, I feel ill-prepared this year. But that doesn't mean you should feel the same! ;) Just like last Sabbat, when I talked about Beltane the week before the actual holiday, I'll be doing a week-long series on Litha: Its history, gods and … [Read more...]
There's been a lot of hullabaloo recently surrounding a Top Mom Blog of faith contest, wherein a few amazing Pagan/Wiccan bloggin' mamas, namely MrsB's Confessions and Angela @ The Pagan Mom Blog, were personally called out by a Christian blogger. She was originally nominated as a Top Mom blog, resting happily at #2, but fortunately, due to her belief that "[d]ifferent faith is wrong faith", she … [Read more...]
Pagan Coming Out DayBeltane is just winding down, and I hope that everyone had a fantastic and fun-filled Sabbat! Just as this celebration is coming to a close, a newer one is hot on its heels: This year, 2 May has been designated International Pagan Coming Out Day, and what a time to do so! The very first weekday after a major Sabbat, one about love and celebrating ourselves as Pagans, so follows … [Read more...]
