Yup, that last post was almost three years ago. I've just been busy. I don't advertise this blog or do anything with it anymore. It's always just been a place to speak my mind where I don't have to argue with anybody much. A "little birdie" told me this morning that picking back up the [...]
Childhood Sacrifice
I think the biggest thing that I left behind in my childhood was the idea that I could dance and perform on stage as a dancer...
What Is Studentship?
As the High Priestess of Weavers of the Web, I've been saying for a while now that I am taking students. But what does that mean? I've written before about what a church is, and what it does. Weavers of the Web is here to provide community for all Pagans, and the ability to come [...]
Now Accepting Students
Over the past few weeks, I have not only received my second Second Degree, I have received a powerful message from our Mother Goddess Demeter.

The acoustic neuroma that appeared out of nowhere, so big that every surgeon looking at his MRIs had to do double-takes and come back to us saying things [...]
Need New Routines
Before we get started, I'd like to announce that anybody who says, "You need to get your kids to do more of that," is automatically drafted to come live in my house for two weeks while I take a much-needed mental health vacation alone. You get my kids to do that, and then you can [...]

The Plan
God has a plan. Pick your god, they all seem to have a plan. Or at least that's what people tell me. The message comes in many flavors. Some of them I have expressed a personal belief in myself.
