Love Your Self
So, every so often I come upon something that really makes me think. In our Western culture we have several gender differences and I think this is one of the major ones. You see, men are taught that they are valued based on their individual accomplishments. Not only that, but they are told that they…

Complaining About the Weather
I decided to quit complaining about the weather. It seems like a small thing but sometimes small things make all the difference. Sure, it’s pretty hot out here. I’m in the wilds of the Arizona desert in the 110° and 48% humidity. I’ve got it pretty easy though. I spend my days in 76° air-conditioning…

Keeper of the Flame
So, I was perusing the Facebook Pagan Blog Project page after writing my post on Keys last week and I saw this post titled “Keeper of the Flame” and learned a bit about Brigid/St. Brigid and her eternal flame over the years. I am now thinking of ordering a candle from the order linked to…

Keys – Locking and Unlocking
Keys are a very powerful and very old magical tool and symbol. They are often used in association magic as a means to both unlock hidden secrets and keep things hidden.

Journeying Inward and Into the Subconscious

Well, to put it simply, to journey is to go somewhere, only in this instance we’re talking about energetic travel.
