Hello guys, I know I haven"t been writing much here lately, thanks to the holidays and also because well, I personally have just needed a bit of a break from the whole writing/thinking/obsessing process that I have been immersed in for the last six months. Recently I have been bothered by some things I have seen and read on the Net, especially when it comes to Paganism and lifestyle. Particularly the interference of soci-politics into the realm of paganism. I just do not understand this, and some of the trends I see are troubling to me. Anyone who knows me by now has probably realized that I am a liberal. But it seems to me that the word liberal has become mixed up with tag words like "green", "hippie", etc. especially when it comes to Paganism. It is troubling to me. I see so many neo pagans who seem ready to jump on the bandwagon when it come to any alternative medicine, organization, and other idealistic campaigns which at times are violently anti-scie...

Tonight I celebrate Modraniht, the heathen holiday of Mothersnight. Of course the date itself is not set in stone, but as the solstice starts at midnight, I begin my own Mothers Night celebration at dusk. For me Mothers Night is an especially important holiday, a celebration of both my Goddess Freyja, and the Disir, my own ancestral mothers. For those unfamiliar with this night, I have included the following. This is an excerpt explaining the Yule season for heathens, including Mothers Night from  Thorshog.org's Celebratory Cycle page For the Germanic peoples this first major feast was also the start of their New Year. It may have started on the winter solstice which is the shortest day of the year (when the sun moves into Capricorn) and occurs approximately on 21st December. . The boar is anciently connected with the Yuletide feast and this is the sacred animal of Freyr, Freyja and Nerthus. Yule  ran for a number of nights, depending on the country in questio...

A sample from my dollar store deck... Ok, I am still alive, just so you all know. lol I haven't had much time for anything the past week since this is my finals week, and I have had no time whatsoever for any writing outside of my assignments. Thankfully I am nearing the end, and have finished the majority, so I should be posting more often again soon. On a side note, I wanted to take a mo and tell about something interesting I found today. Those who know me are aware that my first steps into paganism came about as a natural desire to learn the Tarot at age 12. I was fascinated then by the iconography and symbolism, and fascinated by divination in general. I purchased my first deck then and learned to read the cards. By the time I was sixteen I was actually quite good at it,and my friends often requested I "read their future." Of course for them it was a novelty, but for me the cards were more. I could feel their energy, and the divine spoke to me with the tur...

Moon phase pro Screenshot My name is Cena...and I'm an Appoholic...Yes, since I had a small windfall a few months ago I ventured into the world of tablet computers, on a modest budget and purchased the small and affordable Coby Kyros 4G, an  Android based tab that runs on an older version of the Android framework, 2.3. Coby Kyros Amazon link Now I have to say here that coming in at around a hundred fifty odd dollars was a selling point, and I could have benefited from more research on the devices capabilities. But for someone with basic computer knowledge and a bit of risky behavior can potentially make this device a whole lot better. After being highly dissapointed with it at first, I decided to put my amateur programming skills to the test and was able to make some changes to the firmware and the Android system which opened the device up to much more possibility. And now I am very pleased with the tab, as it is capable of almost anything I need. These changes al...
