  • Starhawk Writes Awesome Stuff About Trees

    Starhawk sometimes get’s described as stuff like “the godmother of modern wicca”. Her book The Spiral Dance was supposed to be one of THE books on wicca. Frankly, I read it and, although alright, it wasn’t anything riveting or anything I didn’t know already. It’s so not in my top list of books I didn’t […]

  • Happiness in the Kumari Sector

    One of my colleages at work is a very spiritual Brahma Kumari. I’ve always been interested in asking her more about what she believes in, but keeping my spiritual interests on the low and the fact that I find her relentlessly chipper attitude a bit annoying sometimes, I have not. However, the other day we […]

  • Will the real fairy/alien/angel please stand up

    Earth Angels by Doreen Virtue! Hurrah! Doreen, bless her, writes incredibly positive-sounding books about angels, mostly. In recent years she’s come over to the Goddess side a bit and has met the world of faeries. Her spiritual autobiographies leave you thinking, there is no way in hell that ANYONE is that in communication with the […]

  • Why I Have Stopped Buying Witch Books

    Most of us wiccans/witches/ex-wiccans/somthing witchy types seem to stockpile books in case of emergency, I guess. We read about what interests us. I have loads and loads of books about witchcraft, wicca, witchy topics, faeries, goddess, auras, teen witchcraft, spells, devotional practices, astral stuff, history, meditating, chakras…. And what I found out in the end […]

  • Thank the JESUS that is the end of 2010

    I would like to start by congratulating everyone who reads this for making it through another year of life. Hurrah for continuing to live! I am pretty sure 2010 sucked for a lot of us. My last year dragged me deep into the inner demons that I didn’t even know I had, and I spent […]

  • Blatant Thievery! Perfect love and Perfect Trust

    Been skipping round the blogosphere and onto Dewdrops which is IvyMoonPanther’s wiccan blog, which very sensibly only talks about wiccan things and not the pursuit of crazy dancing dreams or what’s happening on House MD this week (five kinds of AWESOME that’s what). I thought I would be sensible for a change and contribute on […]

  • This Yule – Wicca is not good vs evil

    There is a tendency in young enthusiastic wiccans and in hollywood to identify everything as either black or white, good or evil. In wicca, apparently we banish the “evil” to make way for the “good”. One of the basic points of wicca as I understand it is that there is no pure evil or pure […]

  • I am NOT a poet

    I am not. I despise poetry, I dislike flowery prose, hell, practically every wiccan liturgy I have read and used I have had to rephrase because I couldnt take the endless poeticisims. I say this as I’ve been haunting one of my regulars, which is high on the imaginary demons front and new enthusiastic teen […]
