Equinox Wake-Up Call

Last updated on: March 22, 2015 at 4:16 pm By CJ Blackwood

The earth is wakening. Persephone, Brigid, and other goddesses of Spring and new life are doing their magic. What I think of right now is the death that offers itself to life. Old leaves decay and enrich soil where new plants blossom; this is good dark, the sleep that contributes to the wakening. Read more

Don’t Hit the Girl Many sleepless nights she and her sisters cried As their mommy and daddy would fight Shouting words of shame Playing the adult blame game And as she grew Her father began to curse her too With his harsh words From his spiteful world Don’t hit the girl Don’t hit the girl With your words of pain And your tongue of flame Don’t hit the girl And now that’s she’s grown When she’s all alone His voice...

Public Health in Sacred Space #health

Last updated on: February 5, 2015 at 11:43 pm By CJ Blackwood

Public health in sacred space is important. We take part in actions of community. We pass the drinking horn and the plate of cakes. We dance hand in hand. We even engage in sex magic, or working a ritual through sexual pleasure. The problem today is this: we are facing a day when diseases are global and drug resistant, and people have fewer ways to protect themselves. We are living in a day where there is the potential for diseases... Read more

So there is some significance there. There’s also the meaning of the holiday. This is a time of hope, of making plans and looking ahead. As I said, it was the first time I led a group ritual. At the time I was... Read more
