  • Spring break Update

    Spring has sprung here in the Midwest. Snow has melted and the birds are flocking to the feeders in my yard. We are still supposed to have some ups and downs, but I think the worst of it is over. It’s still rainy, but to me the rain is far less bleak. Soon, soon, the world

  • I might be a little more scattered than usual in this video. I have been feeling a push to share this particular theme, so here it is. It’s not just instructions on how to make a prosperity bowl, but a few thoughts about the spiritual aspects of money, and the negative beliefs surrounding it that

  • The Choice

    I actually wrote this about 6 months ago. I knew what my choice was. It just took me too long to make the right one. Must there always be a choice  Between sacred things and the safety and security this world offers? I know I’m being called to make a sacrifice, but I fear what

  • I’m single again

    So, I’m single again. It sucks. I still love my ex, but we weren’t well matched. Many of our values did not match up. He is a good person, but I don’t believe we could build a life together. I made the hard choice. Perhaps one day we could even be friends, but not right

  • I’m just finished reading Sophie Reicher’s “Spiritual Protection: A Safety Manual for Energy Workers, Healers, and Psychics“. When I wasn’t working I had the luxury of just ignoring my empathic gifts and simply centering, saging and saying a quick prayer before going into public. Now I have repeatedly been put into situations that have basically

  • Odin and Anxiety

    I have been thinking about why someone like me would worship Odin. Or more rather, why a God like Odin would be interested in worship from someone like me. I suffer from a rather severe anxiety disorder. Sometimes it’s mostly under control and I can function close to normally. Sometimes … not so much. This

  • Originally posted on The Slavic Polytheist: Being a mentally ill “pagan” is all sorts of fun. (high levels of sarcasm here) Mostly because of all the people out there the broader community who all seem obsessed with how everything has to be “naturally” done, or go back to nature, etc. etc. ad nauseum, blah blah…
