Blessed Imbolc

The wheel of the year turns again to Imbolc (or St. Brigid's Day). Brigid is the Celtic triple goddess and goddess of fire.

Though many of us were hit with a huge snow storm last week, spring is coming. Don't believe it? It's there. February may be a dreary month (we're all tired of the cold and the pure white snow is now mud-colored and not so pretty anymore). I think of the plants stirring under ground, starting to wake up.

Adults Ruin Halloween

Halloween is coming. I love Halloween. It's one of my favorites. Unfortunately, with it comes a HUGE peeve of mine. I do not like the way the schools, and even the towns, are changing Halloween. I swear that there are times when I feel like I could get into a good argument with some of the teachers over this (thought church and state were supposed to stay separate?). I wrote all about it here.

What some people consider beyond weird

Just found another interesting site! Using Stumbleupon brings me all kinds of interesting reading. Anyway, this site I found is called Beyond Weird. They have articles on a whole variety of different topics - paganism, astral workings, Egyptian magic, witchcraft, Wicca database, crystal gazing, scrying, Aleister Crowley, dreams, out of body experiences, and more.

I don't really care for the name of the site. I don't think some of those topics are beyond weird at all. However, there is a slew of reading if you're interested.
