It is hard to love you now
Relationships with the gods and spirits are for many reasons. For gifts, for help, because you like them, because you share some element, some essence. Reciprocity. I give to the […]

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 […]
Joy & Grief: figuring out my Samhain Advent
I completely dropped the ball on doing fire festival advents this year. In the wave of grief following the death of my friend and the death of my mentor, it […]
When the Magick Dies
I skipped Beltane advent. I didn’t want to. I just did. I forgot about it until the first week of it had passed, and then I forgot again, and again, […]
Spring Equinox Ritual 2017 debrief
My spring equinox ritual could have gone better, but on the other hand, I did it only a day off from the actual equinox. Which I think might be 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 Christmas Ritual to Santa
(Note: This post was meant to go up much earlier than the beginning of February, but I spent most of January being pretty sick. My apologies! –M) It was very […]
Lantern of the Ancestors
Sermon in church yesterday was exactly what I needed. I was late, somehow, even though I made the decision to stay up later and make the 8:30 am service instead […]
The Samhain that Wasn’t
Following up on a successful, if belated, Loafmass, this year I wanted to have a good Samhain celebration. I tried to get to it by October 31st, but that didn’t […]
Church, and other notes
It’s been a while since I posted. I kept meaning to write another post for October, but then it kept not happening. So here are some brief updates on various […]
Twice Weekly Prayers to the D’Angeline Gods
I assure you all, I am still alive. I managed to hurt my back some more this past month, and spent a good deal of September recovering. (See my rants […]
My Polytheism
I am sort of fried today. Didn’t sleep well, despite the CPAP; think I’ll have to lay off the coffee so late at night. I thought music would help me […]
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 […]
Half a Deipnon
I decided to attempt to celebrate Hekate’s Deipnon on the 3rd/4th of this month, based on Deipnon described in this post on Patheos (with some alterations, of course). There are […]
What cannot be said will be wept
I feel as if I’ve spent an entire week crying; weeping out my anguish first for the betrayal of the mothers who once welcomed me, and today for the physical […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’m religious, not spiritual.
I used to be fond of the phrase “I’m spiritual, not religious.” It seemed like a good way to indicate that I was interested in spirituality, but not Christianity specifically. […]
30 Days of Hymns, Day 9: hymn round-up and reflection on my progress
Let’s start with the reflection. It didn’t take long for me to fuck this up in some way. The first three days were great. I got up, got coffee, and […]
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 […]
Veiling: a 4-ish month retrospective
Couldn’t find a velvet headband today, but did find 3 velvet scrunchies and a lace headband that works pretty well! I love Ardene, ngl. #dailyveil #coveredpagan #Otherfaith #witchstagram #witchesofinstagram #paganveiling […]
Welcome, 2016
2015 was a kind of crazy year for me. WordPress was kind enough to do the 2015 blogging report for this blog, because I have Jetpack enabled, and I found […]
30 Days of Paganism: Places of spiritual significance
There are two types of “place” that I’m going to talk about here. One is a general type of place. The other is a specific spot in the world that […]
