Contemplation

I've been thinking over the last few days about where I want to take my YouTube channel. The simple fact for me is that its hard for me to find time to record a video, edit it, and worry about the lighting and it looking decent. I'm probably going to go back to doing a …

Creating a Consistent Practice

SOURCE: FLICRK, CREATIVE COMMONS We've all been there, in the time when you have no time. When life gets too hectic for you to keep your wits about you, let alone practice your faith. When each tick of the second hand on the clock is a reminder that you're running out of time, and your to-do …

I Need to Say Something

I don't have a passion in life. Simply put. This might not be Wicca related, or it might be. I don't know at this point. I'm basically writing this to get it off my chest because it is something that weighs very heavily on me most days. With my 27th birthday coming up in the …

Tarot: The Fool’s Journey

The Major Arcana in tarot can be seen as a metaphor for life, with each of the 22 cards representing a major event/person/situation that we may experience on the physical plane. There's a reason that the major arcana cards are called trump cards, and that's because when they are pulled in a reading, they are given extra attention due to their importance in the deck. They don't just stand alone. Each one leads to the next, either forwards or back, depending on your movement in life and the direction that your soul needs to take in this life to achieve its goals.

Tarot: Top 5 Things to Know

If you've grown up with any amount of pop-culture in your life, you're probably familiar with the image of the g*psy woman dressed to the nines, headscarf and all, sitting behind a little wooden table with her crystal ball and tarot cards. Let me be honest with you. That's so far from the truth of …

Balancing Act: Making Time when Life gets Chaotic

It's part of modern life, running out of time. Sometimes it seems like we have a million things to do every single day and never enough time to do it. I'll use myself as an example. I work a "typical" job with a schedule from 8am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. I get two 15 minute breaks …

Book Review: Witch by Lisa Lister

I'm really on the fence about this book. Some parts of it are written well with good information, but others are full of exclusive and extreme feminism. Lisa Lister makes note in the "About This Book" section that this book will probably piss off traditional witches, Pagans, men, and the transgender community. And she's not wrong. Even as a cisgender woman and feminist, I found a lot of the feminism-focused writing to be hard to read because of how exclusive it is. She talks of things like "pussy power" and "womb breathing", centering the entirety of her feminism around those people who have vaginas, wombs, and a capability to menstruate. She calls these people women, but not all women have vaginas or wombs, and not all women want them or feel the "power" in their monthly cycle.
