I Grew Up in the Goddess Movement, but it is no longer home
I talk sometimes about how I was raised pagan; sometimes about how I was raised Buddhist. Both are true. My mother is Buddhist and taught me about Tara, played the […]
The Morrigan Chose Me…and I chose Her right back
There’s this idea in neo-Pagan or polytheist circles that the gods choose us, we don’t choose them. Sometimes that’s correct — sometimes, yes, the gods do search us out without […]
Beltane’s Battle Plan
I had a bit of an epiphany the other day. May Day is a day of political upheaval; of revolution; of fighting against oppression. No wonder the Morrigan was so […]
Conquering the Hekspoffer (Hexipuff) and oh gods not this fight again

Sunset from the ferry and a crescent moon
On my trip up to my mother’s home I took some pictures on the ferry. I was going to post them here on Monday but I forgot; here they are, […]
There is no such thing as a square god
This post is in response to something Star Foster wrote recently, which frankly is full of vicim-blamey, ableist, classist nonsense. But don’t let me tell you what to think! Read […]
The Pagan Unity Campaign: why I joined, why I left, and why I’m tired of hearing how horrible all PUCers are

A Pagan Response to Savita’s Death, and the ongoing fight for reproductive justice worldwide
After my last post about Savita, I emailed T. Thorn Coyle to ask for her help in finding ways to respond to this tragedy. I felt that something needed to […]
A Call from Brighid & Morrigan: Justice for Savita
My entire path is about activism. I’d be lying if I said otherwise. Morrigan and Brighid want me to do Their work, and They want it done everyday. They want […]
Fit to Worship

Jukebox, mental illness, ritual, and community

I am angry. (Trigger Warning)
Trigger Warning: rape. I am a bee head-butting the aggressor; a snake poised to strike; a cat with its ruff all up, pupils gone large, claws extended. I was just […]
I used to be a “cool” rape victim. Until I wasn’t anymore.
TRIGGER WARNING. When I was 19, 20, 21 I was okay with rape jokes. I told them frequently. I laughed when others told them. And I often used the word […]
Justice — it’s not an idle concept. It’s a responsibility.
While I wanted to do a post on Justice for a while, much of this post is inspired by this one, and adds to the argument presented there. TRIGGER WARNING […]
Feminism, Anti-Feminism, and the Pacifism of Pagandom
I’m pretty uncompromising in my feminist views. I believe that all people should be equal. I believe that we all carry around programming that causes us to be oppressive, bigoted […]
Eve (yeah, THAT one, the one from the Bible) from a pagan feminist perspective

I just got home from Point-Aux-Chenes again. I’ve been there four days now, tagging along for various things. This video below is one of them. Which is huge f-in news […]
Doing what’s necessary
In my post about activism and the path of the Warrior, I said that to be a Warrior means to realize that something needs to be done, and then going […]
