This is a time of year when we look to the past.  We flip through the memory book of our mind and note the faces of those that have come before us.  With some, we share the genetic material of the physical body.  With others, we share the spiritual genetics of the subtle body and [...]

I had debated about whether or not I wanted to share this. However, it’s a pretty big deal for me considering the fact that I wasn’t writing at all at this time last year.
I found out today that I won Third Place in the Writer’s Journal Horror/Ghost Short Story Competition. I don’t know [...]

Sometimes you don’t get to make this choice.  If there’s not a coven near you, there’s only one option left besides putting everything on hold and moving to a city where you can find a group.  Still, many people who come to the Craft have differing understandings about whether or not you can be a [...]

Witchvox, that is.  Either that or I’m the only person not on some kind of summer vacation and instead, I’m sitting at home writing articles instead of swimming.  Or barbequeing.  Or being a blood sacrifice to a mosquito.
Anyway, my article on healing the gap between modern Paganism and Reconstructionism is up today on Witchvox.  I’m [...]

If you’re here looking for dirty laundry about my time as an Ex-Reconstructionist, I’m sorry to disappoint you.
The fact are simple.  I began my training as a Wiccan.  I became a Reconstructionist for a while after a crisis of faith in my local pagan community.  I was a dedicated (as in “committed”) Reconstructionist for a [...]

Today, Witchvox has begun featuring my two part article on magick called As Above, So Below:  Theurgy, Thaumaturgy And The Witch.  In the first essay, I focus on Theurgy — magick worked for spiritual evolution.  The final half will focus on Thaumaturgy — magick worked for mundane results and purposes.
There are some wonderful articles on [...]

I’ve learned not to go too far into a discussion about the Craft without delving into the topic of conversation that people tend to want to hear about most.  That topic would be magick.  With a K.
Ask any practitioner of the Craft or other magickally inclined path what magick is and you will get a [...]

This week, The Wiccan Pagan Times is featuring my article Life Without End:  A Pagan Perspective On Death.  You can check it out here.
The Wiccan Pagan Times has relaunched after a year’s hiatus and is back stronger than ever with a sleek redesign and more penetrating focus.  Imajicka and Boudica work hard to gather articles, [...]

This week, Witchvox features my article Honor the Father, Honor the Sun:  A Summer Solstice Tribute.
I meant it when I said that women aren’t the only one doing reclaiming work here.  Men are, too.  No, they may not have had their sexual gender repressed, attacked, subverted and blamed for all that is wrong with the [...]

If I have a gift, it’s for metaphor and analogies. I just seem to have this knack for taking hard concepts or difficult subject matter and putting it in a way that helps someone make a connection. It probably goes without saying that I’ve found this skill to be a life-saver as a parent. And [...]
