My Quick and Dirty Imbolc Ritual
Ok, it wasn’t that dirty, but the phrase works better when I include it. It was VERY quick and I found myself mentally comparing it to a quickie in a […]

Imbolc 2017, Ritual Debrief
My Imbolc ritual wasn’t a full ritual, not like I did Loafmass last year. Hopefully at some point I’ll get it figured out enough to actually do rituals for the […]
Reflections on Imbolc Advent, 2017
So, this year I attempted an Imbolc Advent, and it went in a very Morag way. First, some explanation: I didn’t do 4 weeks before, I did 3. This was […]
Advents and Anniversaries
I just realized recently that this January is my 7th anniversary of beginning to keep the flame for Brighid and starting up a true devotional relationship with her, as it’s […]
A very belated Loafmass
Loafmass is supposed to be on August 2nd, making it parallel with Imbolc. Instead of focusing on any one of the Three, it’s a holiday for all of them. Loafmass […]
The Sacred Triad and the Wheel of the Year
Note: this post is written from the perspective of someone living in the Northern Hemisphere on the West Coast of North America. Also it is full of my headcanon about […]
Imbolc and the 30 Days of Hymns project
Happy Imbolc, or Lughnasdh/Lammas if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere! I finished up Imbolc Advent last night before I went to sleep (so, 10:30am), and tonight I’ve got a few […]
30 Days of Paganism: Holidays
This post is written from the perspective of someone who has lived in the Northern Hemisphere their entire life, and as such refers to the holidays accordingly. Building my religious […]
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 […]
Happy Imbolc
Today is Imbolc! I was going to write a ritual for today, but I ended up not. At this point it’ll be rushed and not that good, so instead I’m […]
‘God-Bothered’, and what I mean by that
After writing Monday’s post, a discussion with a friend made it clear to me that my definition of ‘god-bothered’ may be quite different from many other people’s definition of it. […]
Orthodoxy vs. Orthopraxy
In case you need more Morag this week, I’ve also posted at Maenads of the (R)Evolution (MaRE for short), my project with partner-in-crime-and-awesomeness Daniel Grey (aka Sage or Danny). As well, Veggiewolf also […]
Cunctatitis (or, the disease of procrastination)
I had a real struggle with this week’s Pagan Blog Project. I could not, for the life of me, think of anything that started with a C. All I could […]
44 Days of Witchery, Day 14: A favourite pagan holiday that you celebrate.
I wish I had an uncomplicated answer for this. My favourite holiday has long been Halloween, from before becoming a Witch, because it was the one holiday that people couldn’t […]
Dedication to Brighid: ritual debrief
I do a few things quite well. One is writing. I’m a good writer. I also make really excellent hashbrowns. And I do a good ritual (with some — ok, […]
Imbolc 2011: plans
I have two major plans for Imbolc this year, aside from the Cill’s group flame keeping from sunset on the 31st to sunset on the 2nd (my shift starts at […]
2011 Annual Brighid Poetry Festival: Prophecy
I wrote this last year, but it’s my only piece of devotional poetry for Brighid (so far). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Prophecy She spoke to me in a tongue of flame, light flickering […]
By leaps and bounds
I got my ADF materials shortly before Samhain (which was not the best Samhain I’ve ever had, but I don’t want to get into that right now). I started doing […]
Fires of Purification (retropost)
Note: I wrote this back in January, for the print and online magazine Immanence, which I helped birth in Powell River. I used to have a regular column called the […]
