Manifesting Love/ Love Spells
Magic doesn’t work the way some people think it does. It is not a requisition we fill out for what we want, light some candles, chant and pray and abracadabra, we get everything we want. It’s better than that.

Springtime Rebirth
This spring is an unusual one, in the midst of a pandemic. It is truly a time and place of death and rebirth, more literally than usual. Within my friends circle – marriages are ending, babies have been born and cloistered from their families, old people are dying unattended if not unmourned. Many people’s employment …
Make love to everything
I was speaking with my bestie, another pagan, the other night. I was trying, badly, to articulate the crisis of faith I am having right now, have been having since my last relationship ended, while I feel my way to what is next. I am a priestess of Aphrodite and a devotee of Herne. I’ve …
Odin’s Ordeal Part 3 – The Hieros Gamos
The rune I received (literally written over my eye) back when I fell on my head at a Norse Pagan festival two years ago, was a bindrune. It can be seen as a combination of the runes Algis (representing antlers) and Tyr (an arrow) or Algis in two directions, which are the symbols of life …

Odin’s Ordeal – Part 2
It’s now 14+ months after I fell on my head in a Norse ritual dedicated to the Norns and received a rune and a head injury. In this time, in addition to mostly healing my head, I birthed a lesbian country band that has recorded and is performing professionally, a novel that had been gestating …
Odin’s Ordeal
Odin is one of the Norse Gods, a warrior king who becomes a magician through ordeal and personal sacrifice. I didn’t know very much about him before last October, when I attended Hecate’s Sickle pagan festival in the U.S.. Odin is the Allfather, not the Somefather Except, I knew enough to spout off on facebook …
