Last Father’s Day, my girlfriend Sparkle arranged Tarot card readings for us.  I was very impressed with her choice of oracle–Cyn is great!  But don’t take my word for it–see for yourself! The Frequency of Divinity, Part Two 8: Are you pagan or wiccan? I identify myself as a mystic.  I find value in all religious pathways, and seek understanding in the threads that connect to the universal truths all religious pathways tap into. 9: Do you agree that the future branches off into diverse possibilities and pathways?  And how can you determine which one is most likely? I believe all of us are on a unique lifepath: the path is predetermined as…

Crystal Clear  by Mihos   Hematite I’ve found hematite useful for grounding out negative energy and encouraging calmness. It’s so effective that it works even if I forgot I’m carrying a stone in my pocket or wearing the pendant. I find it much more effective than any “worry stone” or object that I must actively manipulate. I give it credence as a talisman when traveling: I’ve not suffered motion sickness for many years.

For Your Deliberation Samhain is my favorite Sabbat!  I observe it (in my own ways) from the day after Mabon until the morning of All Hallows.  Enjoy! VOTE That!  That!!  Dude Looks Like a Cyborg!!! These days when I step out the door, I have a glucose sensor glued to my arm, a Fitbit on my wrist and a cell phone with more gadgets in it than Batman’s utility belt!  Better living through electronics! Granny One Dylan came home.  As he started up the stairs to his apartment, he noticed a new Halloween decoration his landlady had put out near the foot of the stairs: an old crone doll in…

For Your Deliberation To me, Samhain focuses on a different type and aspect of death than does Halloween.  It’s more familial than scary.  Samhain is for moving on into what’s next instead of hanging around here on this side of the veil making trouble. Of course, there are exceptions….   Waiting for the Dark The houses in our neighborhood share a big leafy backyard which is crisscrossed by a warren of short bridges and long pathways.  Lots of trees, almost woodsy, it hosts a murder of crows, a dray or two of squirrels and an alarming number of very bold skunks.  We have lights back there, but after twilight it can…
