Blood Magic and Self Harm

Last updated on: August 25, 2014 at 10:27 am   By CJ Blackwood

Drawing Strength from Nature

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:39 am   By Guest Contributor

Interview with Raven Kaldera about Shamanism, BDSM Among the Disabled and Fifty Shades of Gray

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:39 am   By Guest Contributor

"I work with the spirits of earth, fire, water, air, plants, animals, the Dead, and various Gods of my tradition . . . My Gods use me as a tool to make change in the world, and one of the ways I am being so used is to give aid to people in the BDSM demographic (and especially Dominant/submissive and Master/slave subgroup)." Read more

Interview with Artist Jennilee Rose Benda

Last updated on: August 15, 2014 at 9:07 am   By CJ Blackwood

I spoke with my good friend Jennilee Benda, who has created some lovely pieces of jewelry, as well as a ceremonial flower crown for me in the past, with incredible spiritual symbolism. –How did you discover you enjoy making jewelry? It was several years ago, (I think roughly 2005 or 2006) where I was trying to find a set of jewelry for a specific outfit and the only thing I found remotely worked was very expensive. I found myself looking... Read more

Feminist Metalhead Witch

Last updated on: August 10, 2014 at 3:18 pm   By CJ Blackwood

Who are the artists creating the music you listen to most right now? For me, they are Scar the Martyr and Poisonblack, two bands playing metal with an eerie edge. Some of my long-standing favorites are Godsmack, 5 Finger Death Punch, In This Moment, Straight Line Stitch, and a few others. When I tell people that metal brings a sort of catharsis, that I can slip into daydreams of myself in more powerful roles than those I play in reality,... Read more
