Disabled American's Walking a Tightrope – Politicians Have the Saw

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:51 am   By Guest Contributor

Before the Affordable Care Act, I could only receive health insurance through an employer or government health program based on disability (Medicare) or income (Medicaid). I am diabetic and have many other medical concerns. When you call to learn more about insurance or sign up the first thing they ask is: Do you have cancer? Are you diabetic? Are you HIV positive? The ACA prevents insurance companies from denying citizens due to pre-existing conditions or later dropping them when diagnosed... Read more

Winter Solstice 2010: A complete picture of three worlds.

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:51 am   By Guest Contributor

The Winter Solstice this year includes not only a full moon, but a full lunar eclipse over North America peaking on December 20/21 around midnight about fifteen hours before the actual Solstice. This is a very auspicious time according to numerology and astrology. It will be spectacular since dust from volcanic eruptions may cause the moon to have a red or orange hue and the dark moon will make it easier to see the remnants of last weekends meteor shower.... Read more

Growth and Advice in Paganism

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:51 am   By Guest Contributor

How To Be a Practicing Pagan with a Chronic Illness

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:51 am   By Guest Contributor

Guest Author: Nobby First Published at the Witches’ Voice on August 1st. 2010 Reposted with the author’s permission. I have a chronic illness and all the healing magic, alternative medicines, herbs or conventional medicine can’t make a lick of difference. My illness, while chronic and incurable, is also non-life threatening which is good. but does mean I’m in constant pain and always suffering from differing levels of fatigue. This can make it difficult to be active in pagan life. Camps... Read more
