Compassion and Conflict

Last updated on: March 11, 2020 at 5:58 pm By Aine Llewellyn

I don’t think we can be endlessly compassionate and forgiving the face of great harm. I think we must strive to do what is ethically and morally right even when it hurts, either us or another. Read more

An Otherfaith Dedication Vow

Last updated on: March 4, 2020 at 5:55 pm By Aine Llewellyn

Though I haven't taken it yet, I’ve been mulling over the vow as I go about my daily life. A large part is checking in with myself, “Am I upholding these vows?” Which is the point of the vow, isn’t it? Read more

‘Fake Witch Books’ Timeline – and Commentary

Last updated on: February 18, 2020 at 3:17 pm By Aine Llewellyn

I think it absolutely makes sense to be frustrated that actual books - whether ghostwritten or not - are being overwhelmed by, essentially if not actually, spam. Read more

Breath, the Foundational Practice

Last updated on: January 24, 2020 at 10:47 am By Aine Llewellyn

Breath is the foundation for many religious and magical practices. We settle our breathing when we sit before our altar. We deepen and change our breathing to enter into altered states. Breath is the beginning and the end. So, how do we develop breathing as part of our religious practice? Read more

Authenticity and Rituals

Last updated on: January 23, 2020 at 3:13 am By Aine Llewellyn

Spontaneity and authenticity aren’t opposites. We can devise our own rituals and prayers to use and reuse. Nor does using someone else’s prayers stop us from being heartfelt when we say them. But I would say the Imbolc ritual I’m practicing is much more from ‘the head’ than ‘the heart’. Read more

Are We Too Judgmental?

Last updated on: January 16, 2020 at 5:31 pm By Aine Llewellyn

Hello, friends. I have some thoughts on the Latest Hubbub within Paganism/witchcraft – the awful Independent article specifically. (I have tried writing and rewriting this piece without dating it so many times, and each time I end up burning out. Please forgive me, Jason!) I had actually decided I didn’t have much to contribute when I saw Lisa Wagoner’s post on the judgementalism of Paganism. Perhaps interestingly, I agree a fair bit with Wagoner’s article…but I also disagree. There were... Read more

Am I Really a Pagan?

Last updated on: January 10, 2020 at 12:39 pm By Aine Llewellyn

When it comes to our wide and wonderful and woefully fractious communities, there will be groups we just don’t belong in. But what about ‘pan-Pagan’ groups? Where do we fit? Some groups I’ve been in have been actually open and welcoming. Others? I’ve been screamed at and threatened. Read more

Recovering from the Holidays

Last updated on: January 6, 2020 at 10:07 am By Aine Llewellyn

My family visited over this past holiday. They’ve headed back home, and already I ache in missing them. But it is nice to return to routine and the quietness of the house, now only occupied by my partner and I (and our cat). The holidays have passed and time has returned to normal. So, how do we recover from the winter holiday season? Read more
