Neos Alexandria devotional to Female Divine. Link here. —- We celebrate the divine feminine in all forms. From well known deities to those not so widely appreciated, we want stories of goddesses. Take us to Asgard, to Olympus, to the far East or ancient Egypt; to the great plains, humid jungles, or mountain heights of the Americas; to…

This one looks like it will be very interesting. Link here. —– They are the dark gods: Hecate, Kali, Loki, Set, Lilith, Ereshkigal, Hel, Hades, and others. Even benevolent deities such as Apollo, Freyja, Isis, and Brigid have their shadow sides. Dark is often associated with things like death, war, destruction, and violent change. But…

I believe the deadline has been extended. Link here. ——- I am seeking submissions for an anthology of prayers suitable for Pagan children (ages 0-12) from many different traditions. Categories for prayers will include the typical mornings, bedtimes, and mealtimes, but will also include things like gratitude, starting school, the death of a pet, safe…

Okay, don’t want to jinx it here, but I **may** be buying a 5 acre wooded property, even with an unfinished cabin on it already, in a few weeks. If this works, it should definitely go through before Yule. If it happens, it won’t be ready to live at full-time for 6 months to a…

Winter is almost here. My garden’s harvest may be over, but there is still much work to be done before the snows cover the yard. I don’t know how long I will be here, and as much as I want out of the city and into the country, as long as I am here I…

I’m going to start practicing rituals again, even if I don’t necessarily believe. I am comforted by the rituals and the symbolism. I recently traded bedrooms with my brother (we live together), because he may need surgery eventually, and if that happens I don’t want him to have to go up and down stairs every…

Last spring semester I took a class on Enviromental Biology. What follows is my research paper for that class. We were allowed to write about any subject we were interested in, so long as it was somehow related to the environment or biology. I worked so hard on it, and only the teacher reads it!…

I recently read Barnyard in Your Backyard: A Beginner’s Guide to Raising Chickens, Ducks, Geese, Rabbits, Goats, Sheep, and Cattle by Gail Demerow (check it out here). I got my relatively-new copy from Amazon just about three weeks ago, and already I’ve succeeded in dog-earing it all to hell. For the last three weeks this book lived…

I meant to post in the first week of October. Obviously that didn’t happen. Autumn is upon us now, the nights are getting chillier, the leaves are turning colors, nuts are dropping, and squirrels are running around crazier than normal, fanatically storing up fat in their bodies and extra nuts for the frozen winter. I,…

I am not going to take down this blog. But I am still considering whether to leave it up, as is, but basically abandon it. The other option is to transform it into something completely new. My whole life has been transformed, and going forward it will be impossible to ignore that fact. I’m not…
