Tuition Hikes, Ferguson, Witchcraft, and Thanksgiving

Last updated on: November 25, 2014 at 6:20 pm By Asa West

To me, Witchcraft is about touching the undercurrents that shape our reality and redirecting their flow. Right now, our reality flows towards oppression, hopelessness, and death. Can we redirect it towards liberation and life? Read more

Spirituality Versus Superstition (Or: What If We’re Making It All Up?)

Last updated on: November 17, 2014 at 8:43 pm By Asa West

Superstition, for me, is a spiritual or magical practice born from fear instead of love. Read more

Last updated on: November 11, 2014 at 8:50 pm By Asa West

When the Shekhinah calls me, it's not the voice of a goddess who's somewhere far off in space. It's my own deepest, divine self, seeking to bring me back to my source. When I read the Charge of the Goddess, silently or in ritual, I am a Witch reminding myself of the Goddess, and the Goddess reminding herself of herself. Read more

Native Appropriations‘s Facebook page posted a link to this Death and Taxes article: I have always said that Free People reminds me of a ’90s era hippie shop of the sort that sold a lot of broomstick skirts, incense and tarot cards– except, you know, 10 times more expensive.

Ravenna Sóley’s “Birth of a Priestess”

Last updated on: October 13, 2014 at 6:17 pm By Asa West

Go read the rest of this poem: She is born when she feels herself pregnant. Her body generates spirit milk. She feels it fill her instantly. Her body awaits the arrival of divine descendants, who will not come until she sings an incantation of peace. They await her action. Read it! Read more

Theurgic Binding: A Response

Last updated on: October 10, 2014 at 8:50 pm By Asa West

For the past couple of days, I’ve been mulling over whether to post some kind of response to Morpheus Ravenna’s post on dedication to a deity. But whenever I begin drafting something, I get frustrated and delete it. Nothing seems to quite get at what I feel needs to be expressed. Then, today, a friend of mine linked to a post contrasting the Buddha’s “Parable of the Raft” to Mormon Teachings. Here’s the parable: A man is trapped on one... Read more
