Those behaviors we tolerate become our standards.

Pfft. That's not very dramatic, how are you supposed to appeal the the masses with such low numbers? 9million sounds so much better in my opinion, and if we can get rid of these sources, we can help influence everyone of the dangers Christianity h...

Kinda harsh to say that we are the witch hunters considering, I mean you say there is evidence to say it didn't happen but what if it did, and not to mention Salem. There is no doubt that the Christian society murdered witches throughout history a...

All About Me

I am a 63 year old retired legal nurse consultant and Vietnam vet. I served as an Army Nurse from 1966-1986 including 18 months in a combat hospital in Vietnam. Although I retired in 1986 I was called back to active duty for the first Gulf War, retiring a second time in 1992.

I have been a practicing Wiccan since 1980. I trained in the Oak, Ash, and Thorn Tradition of Wicca beginning in 1990, and received my Third Degree from OATh at Samhain 1996. I founded my own coven of Tangled Moon at Yule 1996 and ran it until we closed its doors at Midsummer 2008. I now serve as High Priestess of the Oak, Ash, and Thorn Tradition with a total of two daughter covens and one training circle. I am currently enrolled in the pastoral counseling program at Cherry Hill Seminary. I am also a Gardnerian Seeker currently working in an Outer Court..

I am also active in the SCA, where I am known as Iofa merch Macsen, a Celtic woman from southern Britain at the time of the Roman invasion. I currently reside in the Shire of Crimson River, Kingdom of Meridies; however, my primary loyalty is to my family of the Great Dark Horde.

In my not-so-copious free time I do quilting, medieval embroidery, hand spinning, weaving, gourmet cooking, reading, dressage, scuba diving, archery, and run several on-line message boards including Branwen's Cauldron at http://www.branwenscauldron.org

Yabbuts

This was brought on by a Yabbut on another message board that I post to....

I have had a number of students over the years with what I refer to as the "Yabbut Syndrome". These are students who have come to me and asked to study with my coven and who express a sincere interest in learning what we have to offer. But the truth of the matter is that they don't really want to learn from us what we have to teach. What they really want is to be handed a magical solution of all of life's problems that… Continue

Sekhmet

Sekhmet (Sakhmet, Sekhet) is one of the oldest of the Egyptian deities (Netjer) in Egyptian history. Daughter of Ra, the Sun God and King of the Gods, some of Her titles reflect her great antiquity. (Lady at the Beginning of Time and One Who Was Before The Gods Were.) As a form of the Great Mother, Sekhmet was known at the Mother of the Gods.

Sekhmet is wife and sister of Ptah who created the world through His thought and His word, and She is mother to Nefertem, a healer deity and patron God of… Continue

Where Are The Teachers and Elders

Back in the "old" days before the advent of the internet and the plethora of Wicca 101 books that were published to meet a growing cry for information on Wicca one had a tough time learning on one's own.

When I first came to Wicca in the 1980's there were only a handful of books on the subject and they weren't always easy to find. Stores didn't tend to carry them, libraries didn't stock them. About the only way you could learn was to get lucky enough to find a teacher, and teachers didn't adver… Continue

Oak, Ash, and Thorn Tradition

I thought I would share a bit of my own Tradition, the one in which I personally trained and still work.

Our roots actually go back to Southern California in the late 1960's. A young man from the Los Angeles area who went by the magical name of Valcor studied there with a couple with whom he worked. The husband was a ceremonial magician and the wife was possibly Wiccan, or at least followed a path of religious Witchcraft.

In about 1969 Valcor decided that he needed to be moving on and he hoppe… Continue

Some thing to think on

ALCIBIADES II
PERSONS OF THE DIALOGUE: Socrates and Alcibiades.

SOCRATES: Are you going, Alcibiades, to offer prayer to Zeus?

ALCIBIADES: Yes, Socrates, I am.

SOCRATES: you seem to be troubled and to cast your eyes on the ground, as though you were thinking about something.

ALCIBIADES: Of what do you suppose that I am thinking?

SOCRATES: Of the greatest of all things, as I believe. Tell me, do you not suppose that the Gods sometimes partly grant and partly reject the requests which we make… Continue

Orionid meteor shower

Just a note it will peck by about dawn the 21st Oct I think thats GMT ?? but its the next 2/3 nights what ever
These meteors began life as tiny specks of dust ejected by Comet 1P/Halley during its innumerable trips around the Sun. Over the eons, these particles spread out along the comet's orbit. Every October, we run into this stream of dust.
if you are any place to see its a good show

A bit of Poety

Child of the mighty dead,
Electra, lo, my way
To thee in the dawn hath sped,
And the cot on the mountain grey,
For the Watcher hath cried this day:
He of the ancient folk,
The walker of waste and hill,
Who drinketh the milk of the flock;
And he told of Hera's will;
For the morrow's morrow now
They cry her festival,
And before her throne shall bow
Our damsels all.
