Frequently, people confront us who seemed to be egging the world into calling them on their miserable actions so they can have the pleasure of angry vengeance or an excuse to attract attention. Our compassion cannot be giving them what they think the...
As compassionate beings, we cannot harm others, not even through our inaction.
A modern culture built on the back of dying gods immerses me.
The flick of her hip is distilled erotica, a practiced sexuality.
He dances all night, utterly naked and composed of nothing but six and a half feet of pale sinew. He could dance to a field of crickets, to the sound of rain on a tin roof, to a stampede.
Our brains want God even as our minds debunk the divine.
I honor the divine on a daily basis, but I want to know that the greatest magick in my life is living authentically with what I have and can do.
People who believe their god loves them unconditionally are less able to be controlled through divine terrorism.
The witch who claims to forbear her magick for fear of causing the next Indian tsunami is really saying that she is powerful enough to kill thousands of innocent strangers when all she meant to do was water her mugwort. She can't be challenged to pro...
My faith is a tool I employ, a metaphorical context I find apt, but it is inert until placed in a hand that needs it.

It is difficult to process the sacred masculine when your closest example has been a man smacking you around, verbally degrading you, lording over you, or otherwise proving a poor demonstration of the use of strength.
Women are seen as imperfect or unclean, because of a myth of a tempting apple, because they bleed monthly, because they lack equivalent upper body strength.
The Hermit is an important tarot card with much to tell us, but he tends not to be so welcome around the bonfire.
