What is a “Witch” Part 2-Deep Feelings
My last post has struck a nerve for some of you, and I’m glad to know I’m far from alone in critically examining this word “witch” and trying to understand what it means in an original sense, rather than a pop culture, commercial, colonial, Christian or patriarchal...
What is a “Witch”?
...cause I've been called one! Seriously! The town we used to live in, small as it was, had several churches. There is a meeting of the spiritual leaders of those churches called the Pastoral Alliance. And, as it goes in small towns, there is not a lot to talk...
Epiphanies on Epiphany
I’m not a scholar on Christian holy days; I observe spiritual traditions that make sense to me, that have personal meaning to me. Until yesterday, Epiphany flew by unnoticed. The 12th day of Christmas, Epiphany is the oldest of the Christmas festivals and originally...
A Response to Avatar, the Oldest Story in the World
I saw the movie that is taking the world by storm the other night, and it has taken me several days to have some words to be able to describe my experience. First let me say that I am not so much a popular movie buff. I do like some movies that happen to have fallen...
Eleven Life Lessons (or 2009, the Year that Kicked My Butt)

Thoughts on Christmas 2009
I have a few precious moments of serenity as the boys have run down to the neighborhood park for a football game, and my sweet husband has retired to the haven of our bed for a much needed nap. It is Christmas, again, and we were up late last night wrapping presents...
Happy Solstice!
In the Northern Hemisphere, we are seeing the Winter Solstice today. It is a special time of year for me....only because I feel the holiness of this energy internally. It FEELS like the darkness, it feels like the time to drop the deadwood, it feels like the time to...
Back on the Topside
The completion of the last moon cycle on the 15th saw me on my knees, raking through the deep sand and mud in the subterranean waters I have been visiting of late. I swam with the dark fishes through underwater caverns, navigating dark, narrow passages as I searched...
Nature is the Balm
Relationship with Nature as a Step Towards Healing our Fear for Our Survival My last entry scared even me....why would my inner guidance urge me to write about the fear for our survival that seems to be permeating even those of us devoted to bringing sweet thought...
