Family, Faith, Food... FUN!
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...]

I fully admit, I am typically not a prayerful person. Perhaps that's a result of being a lapsed Catholic (more about my journey to and through Paganism at a later time) or just because it wasn't the medium of connecting with Spirit that I thought was right for me, but it's not often that I find myself compelled to prayer.When I do, though, there are some prayers that I find comfort and solace in, … [Read more...]

Parental Advisory: Due to the possible explicit nature of this post, it is not recommended for children under the age of 18. I can give you one good reason why Beltane is Matt's favorite holiday, and it's definitely not the food, the rituals, the customs, the history... shoot, it's not even about spring! Not entirely, at least. Beltane is a time of fertility and lusty magick, and Matt gets … [Read more...]
All right. So you've been stuck inside all winter, with nothing to entertain you but the boob tube and maybe a few games of checkers. Now that it's bright, sunny, and cheerful out, let's make some crafts to celebrate the thawing of our creative juices... let's get 'em flowing!Many of these crafts involve items that can be found outdoors, from flowers to sticks to the images of animals. Below are … [Read more...]
