My Personal Journey
As you know, we never stop growing. No matter how much we know, or how much we think we know, there’s always more to learn. So, while I will continue to post informative articles here, I’ve repurposed another old blog of mine to document my personal journey. This blog will cover my spiritual development, life…

Purpose
So, this blog space has been purposed and re-purposed again and again as I can’t quite decide what to do with it. Today, I decided that this is going to be my personal whiteboard. Where I do my thinking, learning, and growing and those of you who run across this blog are welcome to contribute…

Today’s Rune: Algiz
So, today I drew Algiz directly sideways, which always confuses me. But as I decided before, I will always rotate sideways runes counterclockwise when that happens. So that made this upright. Algiz is the rune of protection. It warns of obstacles on the way, especially those imposed by the self. It also suggests analyzing your…

Today’s Rune : Inguz

Being Pagan on St. Patrick’s Day
So, the history of St. Patrick is a very unfriendly one towards pagans. Most of us learn that we’re celebrating St. Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland. In reality, by ‘snakes’ they really meant the pagans. St. Patrick’s day really celebrates the Christianization of Ireland and the conversion/murder of the remaining pagans in Ireland.…

Tragedies in Japan
Hoo, boy. With the recent earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, and nuclear accidents that have recently occurred in Japan, there are a lot of questions to be asked. What does this mean? What should we take from it? Did Japan do something wrong? Is the end nigh? The end certainly isn’t nigh, first of all. We…

New Direction and Changes
Hello all! I know it’s been a bit since I’ve posted. I’m still trying to work out the kinks in my site and my blog and I’m not sure exactly which way I want my blog to go in – I don’t know what would be most helpful for you and what is needed most.…

Samhain Readings
Samhain, or Halloween, is the Celtic end of the year and is a traditional time for divination to see how the upcoming year will be so any necessary changes can be made and situations can be prepared for or avoided. This year I’m offering 24 card Samhain readings for only $20! That’s 2 cards to…
