Abuse. Trauma. Healing via Nature and the Old Gods

Yearly Archives: 2015

When the Christian types accuse Pagans of devil-worshiping, we generally reply that not only do we not worship him we don’t even believe in him. But I think this week I’ve discovered him. Here’s my logic. The whole basis for my path is nature. I love nature. I love being […]

I’ve Discovered The Devil In Paganism

April 20, 2015 in My Pagan Path by admin

On Friday, April 10, 13-year-old Nauman Masih was walking home from his job as an apprentice tailor. Two men, whom he did not know, stopped him and asked him what his religion was. “I told them that I am Christian,” Masih said. “They started beating me, when I tried running, both […]

Today, Deborah Maynard became the first Wiccan in Iowa history to deliver the morning invocation at the State House. And of course the conservative Christians have gone apeshit over it. According to local news coverage: “It was kind of a rush,” said Maynard, 43, a project manager for a company […]

Finally! After missing last full moon completely – I had just pulled a tendon and was drugged out of my mind at the time – I actually made it outside for this one. She was glorious, the weather was perfect. I really needed the time under her gaze. This month’s full […]

Full Moon Meditation: Compromise or Self Betrayal?

Poor Crystal O’Connor. The owner of Memories Pizza in Walkerton, IN barely looks old enough to vote, much less own a restaurant. And there’s no way she could have been prepared for what was about to happen when a reporter looking for a story wandered into her establishment. ABC57 News […]

Indiana’s Religious Freedom and Memories Pizza

April 4, 2015 in Recovering Right Winger by admin

I have finally figured it out! I was in the middle of writing a post about the mess in Indiana this week, and about the little Pizza restaurant that has basically been shut down because the owners said they would hypothetically refuse to cater a hypothetical gay wedding with their […]

Christians Have Decided To Stop Converting Sinners

So this week I posted an article about Spirit Husbands and the ridiculousness it entails. I also linked to that article in the comment section of the original ad on Facebook. Yeah that might have been a bit “in-your-face” but I really wanted to say something to the poor women […]

Am I Angry Or In Rebellion?

April 2, 2015 in My Pagan Path / The Christian Cult by admin

Well I just discovered something awesome! Technically, two things. I was surfing Facebook and found a great new page: Pagan – It’s Our Path. And they had a post about “Witches Burrs.” Witches burrs are the seed pods of Sweet Gum trees. Skymomma signed the post and says: “A very […]

Witches Burrs

For the first time in US history, a Wiccan priestess will give the invocation for a state governing body. While most reasonable people will see this as a sign of diversity and tolerance, let’s not hold our breaths for the right-wing Christians to agree. I’m sure many will be most […]

Wiccan priestess to give invocation to Iowa House

March 30, 2015 in Recovering Right Winger by admin

It was the full moon and the weather was nice for the time of year. So I was sitting in my front yard, in an isolated spot with my candle. I imagined roots growing from my base reaching deep down into the Earth, pulling up energy like a plant does […]

Speaking in Tongues: A Familiar Energy

March 29, 2015 in My Pagan Path / Pagan Basics by admin

In January my grandmother was in the hospital. She very nearly died, and I drove back to the town I grew up in to see her. I didn’t know if it would be the last time I’d ever see her. My grandmother and grandfather practically raised me. I’ve always been […]

Nature Trip: Comfort In Tough Times

March 28, 2015 in My Pagan Path by admin

Ready for something completely ridiculous? This ad keeps popping up in my Facebook feed: If you click on the link, you’re greeted with a ridiculous article about how you poor pitiful single women can’t get a man because your sex drive has enslaved you to a demon. And that demon […]
