Everything Under the Moon

Dogs have always been like that with me. I've never known exactly why. I like dogs and I've always been pretty good at dealing with my dogs, but I haven't even had a dog for more than a decade. Still, they always treat me like a long-lost friend. My family calls it my "dog mojo." They thin...

Actually, it took me a while to figure it out. I experienced other people's emotions as my own and I didn't realize right away that I was picking up on someone else's feelings. I just knew that my emotions could sometimes change suddenly for no apparent reason. I thought I might be bi-polar (having ...

Interesting. I do something similar at Samhain, only I write them on bay leaves, burn them and dump them into a river. It's the same idea, but as my name implies, I like a more "natural" setting.

And remember to curse the sock-eating monster to the seventh depths of hell. Very important. :lol: I mustn't forget that! I haven't been doing any particular ritual with my cleaning, but right now I'm doing some deeper cleaning (clearing out piles of clutter I've had laying around for months) in pr...

I can't really help you as far as recommending magick to cure performance anxiety because I've never tried that. I'm a musician, though, and I've done a lot of performing. So is my daughter. So here are my words of wisdom on that subject. Meditation, meditation, meditation. The more you can clear an...

I add mint to green tea - especially nice if you're going to drink it iced. I like mint with rosemary for bath tea. I have sometimes used it in safe travel spells. I use some types of mint in medicinals. For instance, lemon balm is great in a tea to soothe a sore throat and catmint will help break a...

P.s. I think anyone would be better than our current president, so I'm not too picky, lol. Ain't that the truth? I'd be okay with any of the Democratic candidates and I think all the Republican candidates would be better than Dubya's been. Although Huckabee's win in Iowa scared me a bit because I t...

I'm pretty excited about Barack Obama's candidacy myself. I'm tremendously impressed with the number of first time caucus participants he brought out. If he can energize the whole country that way it should be something to see. I would compare him to JFK in that respect. I'll vote for Obama in the p...

It depends on how you define "Christian." I consider myself to be a Christo-pagan because I do have tremendous respect for the teachings of Christ and I do think he was an earthly manifestation of the Deity. Where my beliefs part ways with traditional Christianity is that I don't believe t...

The New Testmament - OK, I believe that Jesus existed. But there are huge gaps in this testament. From the ages of about 18 to 33, Jesus' life is not told at all....he could've been going off with tonnes of prostitutes for all we know....hardly the behaviour of the Son of God. Actually, some histor...

Melissa, the legal drinking age in this country is 21 so getting drunk on your 18th birthday is a good way to mess up your future with a bunch of legal hassles. :shock: (Not that plenty of people haven't done just that!) I like the meditation idea. You might consider a tarot reading. If you have par...

I'm a great one for feeding ritual foods to unsuspecting non-pagans. :lol: This year for Samhain I fed pumpkin soup and apple crisp to some of my friends in a seeming Halloween celebration, but later I put some on the doorstep for the spirits. Then I did a private ritual involving remembrance of lov...

Wow, I'm actually kind of freaked out that there's anyone on this planet who considers withdrawal to be an actual method of contraception. I guess it's better than nothing, but not a whole lot. To me, the reason that the "harming others" "life is sacred" arguments against abortio...

I like the Yogi tea Dong Quai tonic and Women's Moon Cycle tea.

I only use the word whore because of where I live. Nearly every girl in my town has either already had a baby, had an abortion, or a miscarriage. We've got 12 year olds here who are pregnant. Pretty much all of them got pregnant because they refused to use protection because as they say "it do...
