Witches are BORN, Not Made? Neither: It is merely a social reaction to the praxes of capitalism! I read the thread on “Witches are BORN, Not Made?” and it made me think a bit. I didn’t comment on it as I’m not a witch so I thought I wasn’t capable or qualified to even make a comment. However, the more I thought about it and my will to remain quiet being inherently impossible, I decided to make a blog out of it. I’ll catch some flack for this, I am sure, but this is a blog where I can put down m… Continue

The Bible Belt and The Religious Meme: A Reaction to Discrimination

Now, I have been reading about discrimination towards Pagans living in certain areas of the world, and it occurred to me that we are still living in Witching Times.

Hell, I even read a wee rant wailing about how to "stay away" from them; this actually seemed to be the red thread keeping the whole post together, sadly. Sadly. Yes, that word and all its cognates resona…

Sitting here, perhaps nothing. I have a strong connection with Druidry, and whilst it gives me a sense of what is round me, I need Daemons to guide me, help me in my quest of daily living. For many, the known is easily transmutable into the unknown: I simply don't have this luxury and I need the "boxes", hence the Druidic tendency on the known plane and that Daemons on the unknown plane, although through emtempsychosis, I am gradually uniting the two. What a luxury.

Imbolc: Yes, I prac…
