Have you ever gotten that itch to get up and clean, or to tidy up that pile of blankets that’s been crumpled for 3 days? How about to finally hang up that piece of art, or fix that squeaky door? What if that very inkling to do the thing was your home asking you to tend it? This is definitely one of those things that I hadn’t thought of before, at least not like this.
Read MoreDeity relationships are never the same for anyone. Many times we are the ones to go after and seek out gods and goddesses to work with. Sometimes, though, they come knocking all on their own. When we seek out deity, often we know what we desire to work on, we have some idea of a plan and how to go about getting done what needs doing
Read MoreThis time last year, I was sitting at my altar thinking about what I wanted to do in life. I took a hard look inside and started wondering what life would be like if things were different, if I was actually doing the things that brought me joy all of the time.

Read MoreToday marks the dark moon, a perfect time for reflection and observance; it's also a great time to begin new things. Even more auspicious about today is that it's a solar eclipse, which in and of itself is potent energy.

Between February and March, many of us are lucky to get even 1 day off from having to do a thing. Most of us maintain day jobs, several of us have families, and we all have lots of planning and coordinating around PantheaCon and then Ordination Retreat - not to mention our social lives. So, now that PantheaCon is done and over with, the focus shifts to the next thing.

I've had the deck for a little more than three weeks, and I only discovered about its' origins after that. So, I'm a bit late to the party. Yesterday, however, James R. Eads announced that the Second Edition of the deck would be available on Feb. 2 - it seems fitting that I would write this review now.
Read MoreWith the Dark Moon upon us, and still considering the new year, now is a good time to evaluate any shielding practices (or lack thereof) we may have. It's always good to check-in with any personal practices we set up, though with the way life tends to go - I know that I regularly forget to do so.
