A quick recap of how my life has evolved since I began this blog:
- I was about 6 months into my last year of Votary training, almost finished, but still working - All goes as planned I'll be Ordained in August.
- I had just started one of two part time teaching jobs that made up almost a full time job - No benies anywhere. Now I'm full time at one place that values me, but still no benies.
- My long-term time, short term cohabitating relationship was im/exploding. It took a total left turn in January and now I live somewhere else. And he is hopefully reaping what was sown.
- During this relationship I had developed some crappy coping mechanisms. I'm working on those. Mostly of the good though.
- I'm back to teaching and writing Witch classes again. I'm excited to get back in the fray. Keep an eye on this space.
- Getting a computer - mine crapped out about November. So... hello more access to blogging.

All I can say is: the Gods do the Work they do. And they have their reasons. If you either purposely or accidently go against their plan - Oh, they'll right you right quick.

Keep walking and Keep the Faith. 

Musings and rants and perhaps a bit of interesting advice on everything ranging from magick, spirituality, education, and everything in between.

Daily Practice

Full disclosure - daily practice has always been something that I have struggled with. I go through periods of intense structured devotion, and then things loosen up and then life happens, the practice becomes hodgepodge and the cycle begins again.   When I was younger - I thought this made me "bad Pagan." I thought that it had some sort of bearing on my love, reverence and devotion that I have to the Theoi. It doesn't.   In my opinion - your devotion does not have to be something set. It doesn't have to be something that you do every day at a certain time - thought that does have tangible benefits to developing a relationship with your chosen Deities.  As long as you carry the love of the Gods, their principles, and act in the ways befitting someone of your faith - then you're showing your devotion.  That being said - the summer vacation (I teach in my mundane life) has allowed me to develop a set practice with the free(r) time that I have. I look forward to

A Brief Moment of Vulnerability

My life is a complete 180° from where it was a year ago. A year ago, my long-term live in relationship imploded/exploded and resulted in police action and me having to move within a month. Which I believe I’ve touched on before. What I didn’t touch on is how Important and essential Community is when you are struggling. This last year has been a year of complete and total change for me. From the inside out. When January began, I had a New Years that I don’t quite remember, but nonetheless ended up being incredibly eye-opening into seeing how far my then-current patterns and behaviours had taken me from my intended path. As an unexpected benefit of my “domestic violence” call to the police, (that’s still a strange phrase to be associated with), I was privileged enough to be able to have access to weekly therapy. Which I have gone to consistently. Without therapy I would not have been able to begin the process of unraveling and unpeeling a lot of the damage done in my last relati

Invocation to Hekate for Change

I debated posting this as the current revolutionary actions, aren't about me. As a white woman, right now, my job is to speak up when it would be helpful to BIPOC, but for the most part - listen and shut up.  But if someone can use this and it would be helpful - take it, use it, and be well.
