The Wind in the Willows

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 12:03 pm By Guest Contributor

At the local library I browsed the section of newly donated classics. They are smooth with the false appearance of being bound in leather. The Wind in the Willows caught my attention. I vaguely recalled the story of animals who dressed and acted similar to humans. Some, like the River Rat, had simple homes dugout in the earth. Toad though lived in Toad Hall with many grand rooms on a massive estate. Though The Wind in the Willows is a... Read more

Mother Carry Me Down to the Sea

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 12:03 pm By Guest Contributor

Everyone has moments when they find it difficult to see themselves as beautiful either on the inside or out. It’s even harder at times for people with disabilities and especially disfigurements. For me, I had trouble accepting my inner and outer beauty because of abuse. When I was about to enter kindergarten, my father said I wouldn’t have any friends because I was fat. I took it to heart and cried most of the first day. Sometimes he would get... Read more

Walk in the Snow

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 12:03 pm By Guest Contributor

The deep snow has finally come to my small town. I watched it dance and turn the world white while I was safe in my snug pajamas eating pancakes. I could have rushed through my food with the mantra “that was stupid not to put the car in the garage” repeating over and over. Things like that happen to people with depression. This time as the thought of the car getting damaged came up I let it flow by. As... Read more

Shocked By a Milestone

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 12:03 pm By Guest Contributor

A month and a half ago I began praying daily at my altar. The ritual was put into place to help me feel more connected to my spirituality since there isn’t a Pagan community in my town. I would fix my hair a bit and light a candle then stand and do breath and energy work. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had muscle jerks and mild hallucinations. By mild I mean I knew what I saw wasn’t real.... Read more

High Octane Healing

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 12:03 pm By Guest Contributor

Once in a while I’ll write down all the little things that go flying through my mind. A few seconds of a whirlwind of thoughts and images ends up becoming a page or more of notes that take much longer to write. I was reviewing one of these subconscious sessions from a couple of years ago and came across “motorhead elephants offering high octane healing”. I immediately got an image of Ganesha decked out in colorful tie-dye and black leather.... Read more

US Supreme Court Gets Pagan Organizations off the ADA Hook But That Shouldn’t Be An Excuse

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 12:03 pm By Guest Contributor

US Supreme Court unanimously agrees that religious organisations don’t have to comply with ADA employment regulations. (New York Times) On one hand I’m for the division of church and state. On the other the ADA is a very important piece of legislation to protect disabled citizens from discrimination. Being a diverse and inclusive community will continue to be in the hands of Pagan participant, Pagan organisations and their employees without the enforcement of US law. Of course are coordinators really... Read more
