Sharing Your Home

Last updated on: November 12, 2013 at 2:46 pm By Sterling

For some Pagans, the first thing to do before moving into a new home or shortly after is to cleanse the house and try to rid it of unwelcome ghosts, spirits, fae, or any of the spiritual residue of previous inhabitants.

Last updated on: November 6, 2013 at 3:34 pm By Sterling

What is it about some cities that seem to have squeezed out most of their joy and now find themselves stumbling along in economic depression and physical disrepair? The city of Spokane was always at a disadvantage in my eyes, because it's not Seattle. I wonder if the greatest curse on a town like this is simply that the tale of the curse keeps being told?

Getting clear about my place: the uses of withdrawal

Last updated on: May 3, 2017 at 5:25 pm By Elinor Prędota

The body, sex and pleasure are all sacred, and it is vital not to exclude any aspect of our humanity from our spiritual development. However, I do think there is a place for withdrawal, even in immanence-based spiritual paths. My sense of my own space and place in the world is stronger, more rooted, and much, much calmer for my time of withdrawal. It's not a part of everyone's path, but it has its place, and we should be careful not to dismiss it too glibly. Read more
