Sistahs,I have declared March as Afrikan Wombyn’s Liberation Month! As the ruler of my own universe I thought this was a timely thing to do as March 8th is International Women’s Day – a global holiday that honors Women. March is going to be about the V…

The Witch I HAVE walked a great while over the snow, And I am not tall nor strong. My clothes are wet, and my teeth are set, And the way was hard and long. I have wandered over the fruitful earth, But I never came here before. Oh, lift me over the thre…

I’ve been trying to explain to G/Son, who is a huge fan of Star Wars and Harry Potter, @ what’s going on in Wisconsin. (I swear that I did not — I did not — describe Gov. Walker’s actions today as “parseltongue.”) He’s, not yet, but he’s destined t…

Being a grandma and a Witch isn’t exactly a well-covered topic, not in today’s world and not w/r/t young children. That’s all I’m saying. Well, no, of course, with Gemini rising, that’s NOT all that I’m saying. I do, in fact, have lots more to say. …

Guest Blog by Hiro Boga Were you the kind of kid who daydreamed a lot? I was. Both my kids were too.

In Becoming Animal, An Earthly Cosmology, David Abram writes:[At a gompa, the resident lama] took my hand and led me down a long trail to the river, so I could watch his two students as they worked with temple woodblocks artfully carved with Tibetan ri…

One of the things I’ve loved about what’s going on in Wisconsin has been the chance to hear all kind of great old protest/union songs. I grew up on those and they make me happy and weepy every time. Those songs don’t ever really go away. They wait u…

Here’s an article about the opening of what sounds like a lovely store and community center, Crone’s Hollow, in Salt Lake City. Clearly a lot of work has gone into its opening and it looks as if it will be a great resource for the local Pagan commu…

This is a reminder to everyone that tomorrow (Saturday) is Moura Day. Have you decided what you are giving up and/or doing for Moura yet? Tomorrow is a festival wherein it is traditional to indulge freely in whatever you are giving up.

Wow. We were more than 800 spiritual warriors on the virtual launch party call yesterday. The warmth and support from all of you broke my heart wide open. Deep Bow.

First crocus of the year. At least two weeks ahead of last year. All of last year, the garden was two weeks ahead of the year before. Not sure how many years we can keep this going.

As we come marching, marching in the beauty of the day,A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray,Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses,For the people hear us singing: “Bread and roses! Bread and roses!”As we come m…

I should post more tonight, but there are a handful of my best friends putting themselves on the line for collective bargaining, the American middle class, and the right to peacefully assemble, tonight, in Wisconsin. And I have been sending energy and…
