Grace Notes: Sacred Rubbish

Last updated on: April 24, 2019 at 6:55 pm By Grace E

Pagans, for the most part, agree with the general sense that we worship nature/the earth or, at the very least, hold it in incredible reverence compared to other religions. Which makes it even more frustrating when we’re not walking our talk in reference to our sacred sites, festivals, and pilgrimages. Read more

Last updated on: April 18, 2019 at 2:25 am By Gwyn

If your questions make you feel unworthy or delegitimize your practice or path because of comparison to others, maybe it's time to reflect on why you would be prone to devalue what you do, say, or believe. Read more

Druid in the City: Sneezing Through Meditation, or How I Keep Trying

Last updated on: April 19, 2019 at 11:13 pm By Victoria S.

I can lose myself in my sewing, or music and interrupt negative thought patterns or improve my mood there. I can feel connected to the spiritual world by standing on my patio, feeling the sun and enjoying the breeze. Is that enough? Do I really need to do this meditation? Read more

Grace Notes: Compassion Fatigue

Last updated on: April 17, 2019 at 2:43 am By Grace E

If you can identify meaning in something, even something terrible, it becomes less stressful. Often we talk about reframing the narrative. Spiritual beliefs can inform how you frame the experience in the first place, without the need to reframe. Read more

Last updated on: April 16, 2019 at 7:42 pm By Phosphoros

3 Pagans & A Cat: She Has Not Fallen

Last updated on: April 16, 2019 at 3:53 pm By Ode

Bitterness is easy. Compassion is hard. It is harder still when the spirit to which you should extend it does not resemble you-- does not have human flesh to trigger your pro-social instincts, your animal bonds of attachment and protection. That does not make it less important. For those who work with spirits, it may even be more important-- so few will see the wound, or recognize the need. Do not allow bitterness or resentment or frustration to mar your work in this. Read more
