Addicted to Outrage

Last updated on: May 29, 2010 at 6:20 pm By Star Foster

There are a lot of pundits who make a good living on outrage. It’s their first refuge and resort. President Obama has decided to visit a different National Cemetary for Memorial Day because it seems a bit unfair that it’s always Arlington that gets the attention. Surely the servicemembers in other National Cemetaries are just as noble, brave and deserving of a Presidential visit. It seems pretty reasonable for anyone willing to actually look at what is really happening. However,... Read more

Sgt Stewart: Honoring Fallen Pagan Warriors

Last updated on: May 29, 2010 at 8:49 am By Star Foster

I look forward to the stories I will tell kids as I get older. When I was your age we didn’t have the internet. When I was your age cell phones were HUGE and carried in small briefcases. When I was your age fallen Pagan military members didn’t get their symbol of religion on their grave without a fight. Take some time to remember Sgt Patrick Stewart, and his widow Roberta this weekend. The VA decided to stonewall the request... Read more

Religion in the US Military: Comforts and Controversies

Last updated on: May 28, 2010 at 8:46 pm By Guest Contributor

Our Nimue Is Different

Last updated on: May 28, 2010 at 7:36 pm By Sara Amis

The names of the Gods are whatever They are willing to answer to. We have lots of little Feri sayings. One of them is “all Gods are Feri Gods”…by which we mean, among other things, worship whom you please. Unlike some religions, we don’t care who you dance with, so long as you also dance with them that brung you. That said, we do have a pantheon, of sorts; they are a feral, implausible bunch. For example, there’s Nimue, the... Read more

Sweetness of Silence

Last updated on: May 28, 2010 at 5:32 am By Star Foster

Keeping silent may be the hardest bit about Witchcraft, especially if you’re the chatty blogging sort. However, as you mature in your practice, silence can be a relief, a welcoming thing. Last night I attended esbat for the May moon. From the outside looking in, everything went fairly smoothly and was pretty normal for an esbat. Ritual was lovely, weather was warm and people were just friendly and amazing. However, I had an unexpected spiritual experience. No, dear reader, I... Read more

Black Hearted Innocence (part 7)

“I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life…” – Walden, Henry David Thoreau “A weasel is wild. Who knows what he thinks? He sleeps in his underground den, his tail draped over his nose.” -“Living Like Weasels” by Annie Dillard So, what happens when you get your souls all... Read more

Is Traditional Masculinity Ostracized?

Last updated on: May 26, 2010 at 11:05 am By Star Foster

There was a Pagan elder in my kitchen yesterday, and he gave me a good bit to think about. I’d written previously on a perceived gender bias in Paganism and found myself pondering the topic again after he left. The majority of Pagans came to Pagan religions from a decidedly patriarchal religion. For most people it’s a relief to find an empowering multi-faceted vision of Sacred Feminine and it tends to become “that which separates us from other religions”. The... Read more

Musings on runes, tools, and the acquisition of bling

Last updated on: May 26, 2010 at 6:10 am By krasskova

I was never a great fan of collecting miscellaneous tools just for the sake of having them. I was trained to believe that a good magician can work effective magic naked in an empty room at two am. Still, eventually there comes a time where one must acquire a couple of useful items. It seems to be inevitable. That point came for me when I was learning to read and work with the runes. For those who may not be... Read more
