The Magickal Art of Initiation

Last updated on: February 10, 2016 at 3:05 pm By Lasara Firefox Allen

To initiate means to begin. It also means to admit someone into a secret order. While the latter definition is in a sense what I will be addressing in this article, the former is in many ways more relevant to the topic at hand. To enter into an initiation, in many cases, is to begin a process of transformation. So this is where we begin. At the beginning. Read more

WildWitch – A Love Song to the Land

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 2:03 am By Lasara Firefox Allen

After many little trips away from home in 2015, I am reminded how easy it is to get from here to there. Perhaps it is possible to have both: to revel and rebel in the urban spaces that glitter with grit and electricity, and to rest, write, rejuvenate, and root in the wilds that entwine my heartblood. This country Witch is still in love with these backwoods byways. The dripping green of it all. The vast and lovely quiet. The... Read more

A NEW New Year’s Tradition: Give Up Resolutions!

Last updated on: December 27, 2015 at 1:42 pm By Lasara Firefox Allen

Are you planning on making resolutions for the coming calendar year? Many of us, Pagan and non-Pagan alike, make New Year’s resolutions, only to crash and burn in ensuing days or weeks due to a bad set up that we’ve created for ourselves. An overwhelming majority – 88% – of well-meaning New Year’s revelers will fail in achieving the resolutions they set out at 12:01 AM, January 1st. It’s obviously possible to be among the elite few and ace your New... Read more

Five Ways to Engage Your Kids in Community Giving

Last updated on: December 17, 2015 at 6:11 pm By Lasara Firefox Allen

When funds are tight, giving can remind us how much we have, and how fortunate we are. While coming face to face with money problems can be a challenging experience for any of us, being able to do something about it offers our kids a chance to step into responsiveness instead of reactivity. This sense of empowerment is key to facing the global reality of have and have-not with compassion instead of fear. The power to create solutions, even in... Read more

Santa Claus – The Spirit of Christmas, Present

Last updated on: December 14, 2015 at 6:54 pm By Lasara Firefox Allen

When it comes to the delicate matter of belief, there are creative ways to answer our children’s questions without taking magic – and magick – out of equation. The winter holiday season provides ample opportunities to build magick up, or to tear it down. When my oldest child was about five years old, she asked whether Santa Claus was real. Her dad and I told her that Santa is real, to those who believe. We talked about faith, and spirit,... Read more
