By Achriel, on October 10th, 2011 J.K. Rowling has announced in new interviews with the Today show on NBC TV today (July 26) that the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was vague on purpose. She said it was her desire for it to be “nebulous,” something “poetic,” and that she wanted the readers to feel as if they . . . → Read More: Harry Potter – Beyond Book 7

I’ve been slowly tracing back my family’s history and thinking of the stories my parents and grandparents told me. Usually talk of ancestors was accompanied by a book, either a small notebook crammed with notes or family Bibles being opened. My mother’s father had no birth certificate and the family Bible . . . → Read More: Modern Ancestor Worship Musings

I have no particularly compelling conversion story of my own. I had already left my birth religion as a teen and my transition into polytheism and later on to Heathenry was fairly straightforward and organic. It helped that I was already living on my own and wasn’t dependent on the good . . . → Read More: Coming Out as Heathen, Pagan, or Wiccan

“But why do you have to call yourself that?”
I’m always suspicious of questions containing the phrase “why do you have to . . .” I’m not usually talking about life and death situations when somebody asks me one of these absurd and annoying questions, and I’m pretty sure the people . . . → Read More: That Frightening Word

Dianic Wiccans seem to be one of the most indefinable branches of the smaller Wicca umbrella of Paganism. The biggest problem in answering some of the questions about Dianic Wicca doesn’t seem to be in the actual definition of the term, but in the varying degrees to which the definition is applied. . . . → Read More: My Dianic Priest Conundrum

There is a very fine line between magic and madness. Some who follow this crooked path believe they go hand in hand and you can’t have one without the other, but I say that is an unhealthy view point. For magic to work, it is best to be a sane functional human being . . . → Read More: The Importance of Maintaining a Healthy Level of Skepticism

In the Celtic Lore (which we don’t call Lore, but why not? Heathens do.), there is the story of a well with five streams flowing from it. (There are also salmon eating the nuts from hazel trees, other Gaelic symbols of wisdom.) The human male who sees it asks what it means . . . → Read More: 5 Senses & the Gaelic Well of Wisdom

Maybe it won’t be helpful at all, but on the off chance that someone who has to talk to the press ever needs to actually explain “what Witchcraft is,” here’s (a bit of) what it is, to me.

This past Sunday I was worn-down, run-down and spiritually low. Yet I decided to go sit in on the meditation class for my coven’s current set of students, bringing my old notes and sitting quietly in the back. Despite allergies and my general feeling-ickiness, I felt a sea-change within me as . . . → Read More: The Gifts of Unity
