Gender Mumblings (Again)

Last updated on: March 3, 2013 at 6:31 pm   By Aine Llewellyn

I felt very alone, identity wise, when I first learned about Pagandom. It was the usual neo-Wiccish fare that colors most of our books, especially the ones that are easy to grab off the shelves of a big bookstore. Read more

Four Faeries

Last updated on: February 28, 2013 at 11:29 pm   By Aine Llewellyn

I've heard a lot of people talk about how unconnected they feel to the gods and how their practices flourished when they focused on 'smaller' spirits as well, which ties into more issues that I'll address later. But, for now, I'll post a small list of spirits that have been especially prevalent in my life lately. Read more

Readjustment

It would be very easy to place 'anger' and 'frustration' on a list of what I need to cleanse and scrub away. But in my practice, anger can and often is sacred. Anger can be a catalyst for change, if only we know what to do with it. Read more

Your Words

Last updated on: February 23, 2013 at 3:21 pm   By Aine Llewellyn

I'm not sure if this is a larger problem, a sort of human-thing, or if it's specific to Pagandom, but I've noticed something: we want to be able to say our words, but we don't want to take responsibility for them. Read more

Meditation on Mallory

Last updated on: February 22, 2013 at 1:25 am   By Aine Llewellyn

This week seems to be very focused on the 'littler' spirits in my practice. I've been working intensely on understanding more of the stories from the place that I journey to, as well as how those stories apply to my own life and how current living influences myths and sacred stories. Read more

When you become aware of a problem, I think it's better to address and try to fix the problem. Or accept that it isn't problematic to you, but make sure that other people know about the issue. Read more

Meditation on the Ophelia

Last updated on: February 17, 2013 at 11:51 am   By Aine Llewellyn

It always amazes me what I am capable of forgetting. Details about my gods, small traditions or habits I wanted to cultivate, revelations I once thought unforgettable – most of them fade into the abyss. Read more

Menstruation Ain’t (Always) Female

Pop Culture Meditations

Last updated on: February 12, 2013 at 5:01 pm   By Aine Llewellyn

We have a tendency to toss out the random ideas - curses drawn from movies or television, correspondences made around cartoon characters, superheroes elevated to god-status (well, that's hardly new) - and see where those ideas spin and weave. From Pandora and iPod music divination to blog 'bibliomancy', we've got whole new areas to explore for devotion (and magic). Read more
