Actions Speak

What does it say about a group of people who call themselves family when ...

A member of theirs rather would call some one who I furious with them for help?

A member of theirs would rather ask, or has to ask, for money from some one furious with them?

Actions Speak.

I am beyond the pale to some, but I show up in an emergency. That is who I am. More importantly that is just being a decent human being. It would have only taken 5 to 20 dollars from each person in the above mentioned family for me to not be needed. Think about that.

5 to 20 dollars from each

Giving up one meal from McDonalds would have provided the money needed for this "family" to get their member out of a tough situation.

And they wonder why I don't care about their opinion of me...

Living the Wheel of the Year - Building Community and Family

While at Florida Pagan Gathering for their Samhain celebration at Maddox Ranch I hit upon a topic that I don't really hear spoken about much, but is really critical for building community and ultimately for creating your own "chosen family". We, as in all Pagans etc., talk about and worship the Wheel of the Year, but how many actually apply this to their lives? There are many of us who fall into the Spring and Summer only people category. As in we are only there when things are new, the work easy, and food/reward plentiful. The trick is to also be or find the people who are there for the Autumn and Winter parts of life. When there is a lot of work and times are hard. I get it. It is very difficult to be there for people when they need a lot of work or when they are going through hard times. It is also the responsibility of the person experiencing the Autumn or Winter to appropriately use the resources others can give and not expect them to cause an Autumn or Winter...

Blood Magic

Blood Magic Blood magic can be quite potent if you’re inclined to do it, and if you know what you’re doing. It should not be undertaken lightly, or carelessly; but it doesn’t deserve the ‘taboo’ stamp that many are quick to give it. The Power of Blood Blood is associated with death: the slain warriors on the field, the victim of violence, the hunter’s prey all lay bloody in their final state. Blood is also associated with life: it’s part of the cycle of fertility that perpetuates life. If you lost too much blood, you would grow weak and die. If your blood is tainted, you will wither. Blood is associated with pain: you see it when you stumble and fall, have an accident, or fight. Blood is also associated with passion: when you love doing something, when you are good at it, it’s ‘in your blood’. Someone you love, particularly family members, are your ‘blood’. Blood connects you to things, or others. Even if you don’t know someone, you can empathize with them, your ‘heart bleeds for th...

Worship Wheel

I have had this building yearning to create a system of worship beyond what I have been doing. What I have been doing has been rather simple, burn sage morning and night, with an incense stick on the weekend. But my heart is calling for something more. Mostly the method of worship I know is Wiccan. Wiccan and I can work together, but there is much we don't agree on too. While there are some who would just go with Wiccan, because they know it and are familiar, it is just not my way. I have issues, deep rooted ones that have been fed and watered by Wiccans, with calling myself Wiccan. Because of these issues I will not sign my name to back a Wiccan of any stripe; that is part of who I am. Add to it I have recently adopted the Norse Pantheon. The Norse God's and I seem to play well together so far. This maybe my home. The 9 tenants are things I was brought up to revere and have proven worthy of continued following. But the problem is ... I have no clue what regular worship is ...
