Happy Aphrodite’s Day? (A Few Curious Ramblings)

Last updated on: February 13, 2011 at 8:01 am By krasskova

Aphrodite scares me. I have this list of Gods and Goddesses in my head (mostly Goddesses) Whom I will go out of my way not to offend, annoy, or otherwise irritate (not that I want to offend, annoy, or irritate any Deity!) and Aphrodite tops the list. She beat out Hela, the Norse Goddess of death for the honor, though I have to admit it was a close call. To put this in perspective, I belong to Odin and I’ve... Read more

A Valentine for the Single Folks

Last updated on: February 11, 2011 at 8:55 am By Star Foster

Valentines is a time to celebrate romantic love, and some folks feel they need to be in a relationship for Valentines Day or they feel like crud. What silliness. I say Valentines is a time to celebrate healthy romantic love, and making good relationship choices. Part of making good choices is not only being in relationships for the right reasons, but being single for the right reasons as well. So here’s my Valentine for all the single folks. You honor...

A Little Z. Budapest

Last updated on: February 10, 2011 at 11:29 am By Star Foster

I’ve tried and can’t get anything coherent out beyond a few quick bursts. Being sick is no fun. So I’m giving you Z. Budapest today. Agree or disagree with her, you have to admire her contributions to Paganism and how she authentically inhabits her own path. I find her delightful even when our views diverge. Read more

Valentine to the Gods

Last updated on: February 9, 2011 at 11:17 am By Star Foster

Music is healing. I know this to be true. When I feel bad the right piece of music can ease my pain and discomfort, give me space to to unravel my illness and heal it. Right now it feels like all the little green guys from the Mucinex commercial have invaded my throat. My body aches. I slept badly. Just one of those days where you want to crawl in bed with some Benadryl and start over tomorrow. Oh but... Read more

Thoughts From An Airport

Last updated on: February 8, 2011 at 10:05 am By Star Foster

I’m flying back to Atlanta from Houston today, camped out in a corner of the Houston-Hobby airport working while planes take off in front of me. An airport is a universe of it’s own. It doesn’t feel like any place in particular. You’re surrounded by people from all over the country and all around the world. Even though you are surrounded by people, it’s still quite a lonely place. No one talks to each other. We all sit in complicit... Read more

Your Pagan Family

Last updated on: February 7, 2011 at 9:20 am By Star Foster

Really the idea of creating non-biological family is nothing new and pretty prevalent in this day and age, but Paganism almost has this as a core tenet. We tend to create family as easily as we breathe, and this is a marvelous thing. Although, it is a sad truth that so many of us do not have a biological family that accepts us, which spurs us to create alternative forms of family to fill that void. I’m in Houston right...

Chiron Enters Pisces: Peace, Love and Hope?

Last updated on: February 6, 2011 at 9:30 am By Star Foster

Astrology blog The Flow has good news for anyone feeling like they haven’t been able to catch a break. This Tuesday, February 8th at (approximately) 12:24pm, Chiron enters Pisces, and an era of insanity draws to a close. According to The Flow, Chiron has been in Aquarius since 2005 but then in mid-2009 Chiron went in conjunction with Neptune. Y’all remember the fall of 2009, right? It’s when the economic fall out hit home hard. Things have been a bit... Read more

Labeling Wicca: Why “advanced” and “101” bug me…

Last updated on: February 5, 2011 at 7:59 am By Star Foster

The other day I tried to articulate something about “advanced Wicca” that wasn’t terribly coherent. Some people challenged what I said and made me examine the issue more closely. Thank you Jay and Dave of PCP! So while I’ll admit there are so-called “advanced” books out there that I really want to read (Kat MacMorgan, T. Thorn Coyle and Chris Penczak for instance), I don’t perceive these as being “advanced” as much as different perspectives. So many of the books... Read more
