New Year’s Goals: How to Make Good Ones & Make ‘Em Stick

It’s that time of year again – everyone’s setting goals. Some people hate New Year’s resolutions, some people are total resolution junkies. A lot of the time, the problem isn’t necessarily with New Year’s resolutions themselves, but with deciding on bad resolutions for the wrong reasons. So let’s talk about that, and how to fix…

Looking Back at 2010

It’s been quite a year, that’s for sure! I wouldn’t say it’s been a really terrible year, but it’s been rough in spots. However, there’s also been a lot of growth, the growth that comes from learning how to pick yourself up and brush yourself off, and fast. Here’s my thoughts on various aspects of…

How to Avoid the After-Holiday Slump

Oh, the holidays. So much joy and so much stress, all rolled into one eventful month- visiting family, buying presents, so on and so forth. And then, afterwards, it’s not uncommon to want to hibernate for a week or two (or run around like the Tasmanian devil, trying to get everything done at once). Neither…

Welcome!

Welcome, ProBlogger readers! I hope you’re all having a lovely time enjoying the winter holiday of your choice – I went to a lovely Yule celebration last week with my husband & right now we’re in Missouri with my parents, shivering in our shoes and missing Austin weather. Regular posting will resume on Tuesday or…

Ethics & Making Money, Honey

Repeat after me: Money is not evil. Money. Is. Not. Evil. People will do incredibly nasty things to keep their money or make more of it. This is true. But! That has everything to do with their issues surrounding money and the way money is treated and viewed in our society. It’s viewed as the…

#reverb10 – Healing & (R)evolution

Courtesy of Goddess Leonie… Healing. What healed you this year? Was it sudden, or a drip-by-drip evolution? How would you like to be healed in 2011? Buckle your seatbelts, this is going to be a long one! This isn’t something I’ve written about a lot on the website, because at the time it was just…

Mother’s Night

The first night of Yule is Mother’s Night. I wrote this for it. Hope you enjoy & have a happy Yule! To the disir. The matronae. The ancestral mothers. The mama bears and wolves. Protecting their cubs since the dawn of time. They lost children. They lost husbands and lovers. They left – or were…

Link Roundup

Did you know that Tuesday is not only the winter solstice, but is a full moon and a full lunar eclipse? That hasn’t happened in 456 years! I’m really pretty excited for it! Rushing through the Caverns. Sperm trumps vagina – WTF? I’m so with Lissa on this! The Power of Rest Sex, Orchids, and…

Sacred Space

My sacred space is in my living room, at the altar for the house spirit, who gets leftover milk from cereal and incense as a thank-you for lost objects returning. It’s on the altar for the land spirits. It’s in our bedroom, where the main altar resides alongside the ancestor altar, where I sit and…

Pagan Paths: Celtic Reconstructionism

Pagan Paths is a post series dedicated to showing that paganism is not, as it’s often portrayed, a monolith, but an umbrella term for a variety of different, living, breathing religions and paths. This week, I interview Erynn, a practitioner of Celtic Reconstructionism – one of the founders of CR, in fact! What’s the name…
