Monday Musings
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving Weekend. We had an eventful one. Between turkey on Thursday, the Yule tree on Friday morning and camping Friday night I feel like I have gotten a lot accomplished this past weekend. This being followed by decorat...
Children in Ritual Ebook
For those of you who follow me on Facebook, you may have seen an update earlier today about an upcoming ebook. For those who did not and even for those who did I wanted to make an announcement here and now. There will be an ebook coming out from me ...
Post-Samhain Musings
Samhain is past and the Christmas Creep is well underway. I can't believe that the Yuletide decorations are already out in the stores, in some cases they have been out since last week. But that is our world that we live in. This past Sabbat was abou...
Monday Musings
October is already here. I know, I know technically it has been here for three days but now it is only four weeks until the week of Samhain. So I wanted to take some time to talk about his upcoming Sabbat. Samhain is a Sabbat that focuses on the Anc...
After Mabon Musings
Today was a mixed day. I attended an Asatru blot which was absolutely fantastic. I could almost see the bonds of frith growing stronger between us. Frith is very hard to define but it is what family is all about. When you are around good friends or f...
Wow! September is almost here!
I can't believe that another month has went by, we are just a mere three weeks from Mabon and four months to Yule. Where has the time gone? So what is Mabon? Well it is the second of the three harvests of the ancient Celts. To me since this is the h...
After Lughnasadh Musings
Lughnasadh is one of my favorite Sabbats. As a father I understand the feel of the energy of the Harvest Lord and his self-willing sacrifice, since I oftentimes choose to give up things so that my wife and kids can have what they need. This is also a...
Lughnasadh
This year has practically flown by. The Light half of the year is past and the first of the three harvests is upon us. This harvest is the one of grain, so in this we see the death of the Grain God or the Lord of the Harvest.It is also a time to harv...
Friday Musings
This has been a busy week. From a late Litha ritual, Tuesday, schedules just didn't mesh well to a series of posts that seem to have been liked pretty well. But it has seemed to fly by. My oldest is with me this weekend and I think we are going fishi...
Musings this Litha
Went to a community circle and while I did not join in circle (I had my youngest daughter with me and the ritual was to long and the heat index was to high) I still celebrated in my own fashion. With good fellowship, good food and good mead. For me ...
13 Goals of the Witch -- Conclusion
We have at last made it to the end of this list. And I wanted to put forward a few thoughts. I have put these items forward as a thing to do for ourselves. But they as much if not more apply to our kids as well. In some cases we may not have to help...
Friday Musings
The other day, for no real reason, I was reminded of how this blog came to be. And of how every thing has somehow synchronized with everything else and improved my life to the better. I had two choices before me on the topic of my blog and I chose t...
Monday Musings - Children and Spirituallity
I went through different titles for this article. Wasn't sure whether to talk about teaching religion or instilling spirituallity. I settled on what I think is the more important of the two. I feel that having spirituallity is more important than ha...
Monday Musings
Due to a round of illness that is running through my house our Beltane was short and uneventful. So I had a chance to think a little about this Sabbat. Beltane is about blending different energies. And this is also what the concept of Family Coven i...
What is Bealtaine?
Beltaine, or May Day, falls on May first and lays across the Wheel of the Year from Samhain. While Samhain is about the separating of the energies of the Goddess and God, since the Goddess goes into the Underworld, Beltaine is about the integration a...
My Thoughts this Ostara
Another Sabbat has come and gone and I still can't believe how fast this year is going by. Ostara is a time for new beginnings and a time for renewal. So I want to make an effort to grow readership and add subscribers to my blog. But I can't do this...
Friday Musings
Here in Florida, where I live, it seems like Spring is already here. The weather has been approaching the mid 80's, except for that freak cold front earlier this week. So I can't look around and begin to understand how it is in the Northern states to...
Friday Musings
I know this has been a week of odd posts but it has been a truly odd year, one that is running by fast already. So I am going to finish this week with another odd post. First I wanted to say that I know I am having a problem with the images on this ...
Our Technological World
I am currently reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values (P.S.) by Robert M. Pirsig, which I highly recommend by the way, and there was a passage in the beginning that caught my attention. The Buddha, the Godhead, resi...
Day after Imbolc
Today was a rainy day, so we pushed back the bulk of our stuff to tomorrow. But I spent the day with the family and told the Imbolc children's story to my youngest. We spent time reveling in the spirit of family which is what is truly important. We ...
Friday Musings
Can you believe it Imbolc is right around the corner? I keep swearing that Yule was sometime last week. This year seems to be off to a start at a pace to beat last year. And before we know it Summer will be here and Yule will be fast behind it.Imbolc...
