Non-Attachment and The Craft

For the past few years, I have attempted (and haven't come close to being able to fully implement, lol) aspects of Buddhist philosophy into my spiritual life- particularly that of the Zen and Mahayana sects. While reading an interested conversati...

About Me:

Let's see...I'm 24, button cute, sometimes annoying, can be condescending but I'm working on it. I love to read and write, especially about various aspects of Paganism, Greco-Roman History, Political and Social Commentary, and Satire. I'm a hippie that showers, but I'm not one of those hippies that complain about "the man" all the time. I am the mother fuckin' man.

Samurai Song: By Robert Pinksy

When I had no roof I made
Audacity my roof. When I had
No supper my eyes dined.

When I had no eyes I listened.
When I had no ears I thought.
When I had no thought I waited.

When I had no father I made
Care my father. When I had
No mother I embraced order.

When I had no friend I made
Quiet my friend. When I had no
Enemy I opposed my body.

When I had no temple I made
My voice my temple. I have
No priest, my tongue is my choir.

When I have no means fortune
Is my means. When I have
Nothing, death will be my fortune.

Need is my tactic, detachment
Is my strategy. When I had
No lover I courted sleep.

End Clinging and BECOME FEARLESS

Dhammapada 16
The Pleasant

4. Clinging to what is dear brings sorrow
Clinging to what is dear brings fear.
To one who is entirely free from endearment
There is no sorrow or fear.

5. Sorrow springs from affection.
Fear springs form affection.
To loosen those bonds
Is to be free from sorrow and fear.

6. Sorrow springs from indulgence in sensual
pleasures.
Fear springs from indulgence in sensual
pleasures.
Whoever is free from such indulgence
Knows neither sorrow not fear.

Changing of the Guard: Old Gods and New Facets

I don't like to think of myself as a "purist" in the literal sense. While I appreciate some form of order and historical verification to back up my claims of divine connection, UPG (unverified personal gnosis) plays heavily in almost ALL religious traditions, as the gods interact with different people in different ways.

I guess, in a way, my thumb becomes a little pricked when I'm confronted with someone who claims to "know" a certain god or goddess and this god or goddess is nothing like that… Continue

365 DoM- Week Two: Saturn Shifts to Libra

So I decided to break 365 DoM into weeks instead of days. One because there's no way, on top of all of my other pursuits, that I could keep up with writing in this blog everyday, and two because I really am not doing anything big and special magically.

I do need to break out the candles though. Saturn has finally moved out of my sign leaving me breathing a big sigh of relief. This past two years have been some of the most difficult of my adult life; but with the giant planet coursing into Libra… Continue

Calling Bullshit: When to or Why Bother?

At this point I am kind of at a loss. After being a pagan for 10 years, worshiping the same gods for 2 and experiencing a small amount of things I can't explain (I tend to keep such things personal) I am amazed at some of the stuff people I come into contact with pull out out of their ass.

Now maybe I am just overly skeptical; then again, I believe in tarot, astrology, magic, deities, energy, etc- but there comes a point where my bullshit meter FLIES and there are some people I just can't belie… Continue

365 DoM- Day 3

Lately it appears as if grounding and centering are the two things I need to be focusing on at this point. My mind scattered, my thoughts are going everywhere, in between school, getting ready for the Holiday season, enjoying a newly budding romantic relationship, and figuring out where I want to go in life- things just seem hectic and the opportunities I have to perform ritual are few and far between.

Today I performed my basic grounding and centering while in the car, drawing in my breath in… Continue

I love being able to speak to people who are open to my beliefs. I know I believe in the goddess and god, but not until I started reading Annette Blair's books did I know there was such a religion that fit so perfect to my beliefs.
