The idea of coherence was recently brought gently back into my attention, and it feels like something we all need to be aware of and practice. When two things are in sync, when brainwaves and heartbeats entrain, we call that coherence. Entrainment is when, for example, two clocks started at different times in the same space […]
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
“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
For years now, I have been reposting what I wrote years ago for the Solar Holiday Cycle instead of writing anything new, but those of you who have been following this blog know that I am starting to have a bit of a re-think on all of that stuff. We’re not in the Mesolithic anymore,

He has a good
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
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
Betty White’s death last week was an impossible-seeming event. Most of us had never lived in a world where there wasn’t a Betty White. She was born in the ’20s and started working in television pretty much the minute it was invented, so she was, literally, a regular guest in our homes for decades. And
I’m a wildly spiritual seeker who eschews all organized religions. I tried on a few of the mainstream Christian religions when I was younger, and found them all problematic in their own ways. If a sect was logical, rational, sensible, based in reality, focused on kindness and being charitable and living in the most Christ-like
