Pagan Spotlight: Laura LaVoie

Last updated on: October 22, 2011 at 7:11 am   By Star Foster

I have too much to write about. I need clones or minions, and being sick makes me feel even farther behind on things that need to be written. I may have to go on a writing bender sometime soon. Today though, I want to write about Laura LaVoie. Another very busy Pagan, Laura is a Hellenic who blogs about Persephone, blogs about beer, blogs about building a tiny house in North Carolina and blogs at The Juggler on pop culture... Read more

Let Them Eat Cake: An Observation on Occupy Wall Street

Last updated on: October 21, 2011 at 7:12 am   By Star Foster

I feel like utter crud, so this won’t be long or comprehensive. My apologies. Recently I told a blogger it was his job and his responsibility to research the religions he writes about, in other words, it’s his job to do his job. Not his reader’s job, not his critic’s job, HIS job. So a lot of people seem to be commenting that Occupy Wall Street isn’t offering solutions. That these unemployed, powerless people camping in the cold streets aren’t... Read more

Samhain Treat

Last updated on: October 21, 2011 at 6:40 am   By Star Foster

I’m still laid low by the flu and this $^*%#%@ fever will not break so I can get some relief. However, Celestial Elf has a new machina film up for Samhain. I find these strangely charming. I hope you do too. Oh, and have an awesome Rapture! By reducing the workforce and creating an abundance of food for the winter, the Rapture may be as big an economic and scientific boon as the Black Death turned out to be. Read more

The Devil Is A Useful Creature

Last updated on: October 20, 2011 at 1:59 pm   By Star Foster

Some days I envy the Christians their Devil. He’s such a useful creature. All the evil deeds mankind does can be left on his doorstep. Everything we don’t like can be blamed upon him. He’s a one-size-fits-all scapegoat and I kinda wish I had one. If I had a Devil I’d blame him for my hair not cooperating and looking sad and limp. I could spend more time on my hair, but it sure would be easier to blame a... Read more

And Now For Something Completely Different…

Last updated on: October 19, 2011 at 8:14 am   By Star Foster

Working from home and living alone means my immune system has become a wuss. I hang out with friends who work in healthcare and are around school-age children and end up sick as a dog. I think I have the flu. I am not happy about this. What I am happy about is Bram Stocker’s Dracula is on Hulu. Although no Dracula could ever be sexier than Bela: Paganism posts shall return once my body agrees to cooperate. Read more

Lemony Snicket Weighs In On Occupy Wall Street

Last updated on: October 18, 2011 at 11:51 am   By Star Foster

In his inimitable way, Lemony Snicket has made 13 observations about Occupy Wall Street. As I am a fan of lists containing 13 items, I thought I would share this with you here: “Thirteen Observations made by Lemony Snicket while watching Occupy Wall Street from a Discreet Distance.” 1. If you work hard, and become successful, it does not necessarily mean you are successful because you worked hard, just as if you are tall with long hair it doesn’t mean... Read more

Why This Witch Supports Gary Johnson

Last updated on: October 17, 2011 at 7:57 am   By Star Foster

Before he asked Pagan troops to fight overseas, and give their life for their country, then-Gov. George W. Bush told Good Morning America that he didn’t think the military should give Pagan servicemembers equal rights with servicemembers of other faiths: “I don’t think witchcraft is a religion. I would hope the military officials would take a second look at the decision they made.” Last year, Christine O’Donnell asserted that she was NOT a Witch, as if that was a bad... Read more

The Rise of the Working Poor: Occupy Wall Street Goes Global

Last updated on: October 16, 2011 at 8:52 am   By Star Foster

I’ve been grappling with whether I should write about Occupy Wall Street, and what to write about it, for some time. I’m not as eloquent as T. Thorn Coyle nor truly very savvy to what is going on. I felt a bit like I was hearing reports from another country, as if these could not be my people, my apathetic Americans. Then suddenly, it wasn’t just Americans but people were protesting in London, Rome, Madrid, Seoul, Hong Kong, Stockholm, Zurich... Read more
