I may have mentioned recently that I am struggling a little bit with the whole … binary/agrarian imported-mix-and-match-pantheon-of-your-choice Neo-Paganism thing. It has been bugging me for a really long time, honestly, not just the male-female fertility thing, but honestly … all of it. Let me see if I can break it down without going full […]
After over two years hiatus, I am getting back to an old routine, and I think it’s helping me more than I realize. I am a sporadic journal-writer. I am religious about it for a couple years, and then I just stop with no warning and don’t do it for months or even years at
So, what do we do now? If you read last week’s post, I introduced the idea that our brains have forgotten how to recharge our energy levels, whether we are introverts or extroverts (and I confirmed that with a couple extrovert friends over the weekend, they’re not getting the recharge, either), and talked about how
“Hello, Introvert Services, this is Liz, how can I help you?” ‘Hi Liz, I am having trouble initializing my Introvert Recharge and Recovery functions.” “Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. Let me pull up your account and see what we can do for you. Is this phone number the one you’re registered under?” “Should

Spring Damp air, gray skies the snow melts and freezes freezes and melts Wind has a tantrum but bores quickly We huddle in the fog Clammy-cold creeping, steeping, infusing, dulling our senses Damping, smothering A longer gray day isn’t much better than a short one But maybe the Sun is working on it? He has a good
I am done with “famous” healer-types rejecting science in misguided attempts to prove their schtick can beat Covid. You know what? Fuck those people. As you know, I do not ordinarily use that kind of language when referring to anyone (unless they are icky politicians), but people people people, it is unconscionable to encourage your
As a genderqueer person, I have been struggling for several years with the strong binary of the Pagan holidays. Yes, I tell myself, they are about fertility and making food (and making people) and one needs both ends of the spectrum to do that. Absolutely. It’s not like none of the Celtic gods and goddesses
Spring is powerful. The life force is rising ridiculously. It’s almost like life is starting over. In the mud. Again. Ah, the mud. It’s everywhere. Sticky and squishy and everywhere. There is no place mud can’t reach. I used to dread spring out on the farm because I could mop the goddam floor twice a
A young person of my acquaintance has been ranting and raving lately about someone who is Pagan, which apparently goes against everything said young person believes in and is the cause of much distress for them in a FAUX News kind of way. Fortunately, they have not seemed to notice the Broom hanging in my
