The Best Gift is Hope

Last updated on: December 18, 2010 at 12:13 pm By Cara Schulz

This is dedicated to my best friend, Debbie. I love you. These ornaments are getting old and the bow is a bit wrinkled but I can’t help but feel joy when I look at them. There’s a bit of a story to these, so I hope you will indulge me. About 16 years ago, my husband left me, so it was just me and my son together. He also racked up a considerable debt before leaving the state, and I... Read more

Holiday Traveling

Last updated on: December 14, 2010 at 8:18 am By Star Foster

I am about to brave the perils of holiday traveling and my mantra shall be “If Baba Yaga can fly through the air in a mortar and pestle, I can fly to Denver in this really sad school bus they call an airplane.” Here’s some holiday travel cheer for those of you hopping in cars and bustling through airports in the coming days.

A Meditation for Yule

Last updated on: December 12, 2010 at 11:15 am By krasskova

Yule is one of my favorite holidays. Perhaps this is simply because it’s so commonly associated with Odin and the Wild Hunt within Heathenry and I love Odin dearly. Perhaps it is because I treasure the dark time of winter, the emotions evoked by the decorations and festivities of this time, and the sense of solitude that for me, comes with the shortening of the days. Perhaps it’s a combination of the two. I don’t know. For whatever reason, however,... Read more

Wyrd Designs – Deck the Halls and Hearth!

Last updated on: December 9, 2010 at 10:42 am By wyrddesigns

The Yuletide is just around the corner… and for those of us in the Northern Tradition, this is one of our most sacred holy tides of the year. Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, many of us are gearing up to Deck the Halls and Hearth. As a child, I recall helping my mother make all sorts of 100% natural decorations. One of the staples were applesauce & cinnamon ornaments. They are deceptively easy to make, and can be used... Read more

Gossip, Experience and Getting Things Done

Last updated on: December 7, 2010 at 8:12 am By Star Foster

I have a very important rule: I make up on my mind about someone based on my experience with them, not on gossip. It’s served me well over the years, and lately even more so. I’m not an “important” person, but working at Patheos is a unique thing. I sometimes get information I wouldn’t have otherwise and I have good reasons to contact important people from time to time. Which is awesome. I also sometimes get unsolicited gossip, which is... Read more
