So first in the line of my new series I mentioned previously, I thought it would be a good idea to put a small piece together first about general vetting procedures, processes, and just how I over-archingly handle information. Because, outside of specific books, articles, and online stuff, there are some good general rules of […]
Read MoreI once again apologize for the lack of consistent posting. This last month I’ve been trying to figure out what I wanted to do and what I wanted to post. It’s been a rough ride over 1 year into quarantine/work from home for me. The sameness has been rather draining, so I was struggling to […]
Read MoreOf Pop-Culture Paganism–to an extent. I think. I’m not sure… Like, I’ve made some snide comments before about people being into pop culture paganism and following fads. And how people get sucked into it, and just how popular things get just because of whatever pop culture trend is the latest hot fad around the internet. […]
Read MoreEveryone wants to be special and unique. It’s kind of a drive among people–to want to stand out, to want to be something different and something wholly impressive that stands out from the crowd. Can’t really fault people for that, not when often those who fit these ideals seem to get the most attention. And […]
Read MoreI’m posting this super late because I took a mini hiatus for mental health. So, of course, I’m also super late on all the drama and have probably gotten super late on all the backlash. Oh well…sometimes self-care means I miss all the fun of being in the fray of things. This time I guess […]
Read MoreI ran across an interesting discussion in the online world today. Specifically on what the gods might or should owe to us humans. Which is…well, quite fascinating a thought for me, given how I work with my gods. I’m not sure how I feel about the whole idea that gods “owe” humans anything…but that’s what […]
Read MoreI’ve been surfing the interwebs on Facebook the last few weeks, and there’s a weird uptick in a particular topic. Or maybe it isn’t so weird, but I’ve just begun noticing it? It could be either, I’m not too sure. Regardless, I’ve been seeing a lot of this on pagan-flavored Facebook groups, and on Tumblr […]

This is supposed to be spring-time, right? Or at least, that’s the whole idea now that the equinox has passed. Well, it certainly hasn’t felt like it the last week. It’s been more like…oh second-winter (which just kind of feels like I’m talking about “Second Breakfast”, but that’s another topic). I mean, here in the […]
Read MoreIn the past, I’ve had run ins with other Slavic pagans or Rodnovers. Most of it on Facebook or Tumblr. That’s pretty much par for the course. And I’ve done some extensive chronicling on it, so there’s lots related to read up on. I won’t rehash it all. Besides, that would make boring reading, when […]
Read MoreRecently on the world of Facebook, there’s been lots of discussions about just how “global” psychic abilities are. Of course, these types of conversations are…somewhat fraught, and generally can get a bit dicey. Though, not nasty–yet. Pretty much, it’s obvious where I stand: psychic abilities are not “innate” in all people. They are not “global” […]
