Gender Agnosticism
There are very few things I know for sure. This is true in all areas of my life, but right now I want to talk about just a few. About […]
anti-oppression work
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 […]
Ebooks, Disability, and the Morrigan
You may have seen my Twitter rant the other week (later c&ped to my FB page in chronological order, for easier reading), when I started talking about how pagan booksellers […]
Places where the gods are NOT
So I was thinking about my wording in my post from the other day, about how my faith has helped me in difficult times: In my faith I’m well aware […]
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 […]
30 Days of Paganism: Beliefs – Patronage and other deeper relationships
I suppose I’m odd in that I don’t consider patronage a particularly “deep” relationship. I mean, I did used to, when I first started out in paganism/polytheism and everyone else […]
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
I have spent the past few days working out how to make a hexipuff type thing — a double sided hexagon that can be stuffed with fleece or scrap yarn […]
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 […]
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
Trigger warning: fatphobia, ableism, mention of disordered eating, suicide So recently there was a question on TC regarding whether or not we have a religious duty to take care of […]
Fat-Shaming In Pagandom — a story
I want to share this story from a friend of mine. Back in May, my friend — let’s call her Rachel — went to a Beltaine celebration. This celebration was […]
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 […]
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
Eve, she wants to know things Eve, she wants to know things Eve, she wants to know why we’re belly down, you’re not supposed to think –Eve’s Song, Dyonisis I’ve […]
Don’t make me get Old Testament on your Universal Peaceful Matriarchy [Bullshit]
Recently I picked up a copy of Becoming an Ally: Breaking the Cycle of Oppression, by Anne Bishop. It’s required reading for an English class I was planning on taking […]
