My Experience with Pendulums

Coming to Paganism

The Power of Thought

New Home Blessing
I've always wanted to do a blessing/cleansing on the new place I was moving into, but never really had the opportunity to do it. This time was different....My mom and stepdad and I have all been living together for some time now, a few years, I think. A couple weeks ago, we were given the opportunity to move to another apartment in the same complex, and we took it. First thing we did was bring a sage stick down here and smudge the house, protecting those inside from intruders, and putting a personalized blessing on each room, custom to the purpose of the room.Things like open communication and restful sleep in the bedrooms, healing and cleansing in the bathroom, laug

October - end and beginning
October, and the beginning of Fall/Autumn, is certainly a wonderful time of year: colors changing on the trees, cooler nights and crisper days, fewer daylight hours, final harvesting, winterizing homes, and anticipating the coming winter holidays by hoarding food for baking and cooking the big 'feasts'. It's also a time of treasuring the last of the warm weather, by making the most of the beautiful days and getting out in nature.

Now you'd have a valid reason to be thinking and talking about these things on a daily basis. Which can be tough for some people.I'm not sure I'm ready for a formal education on metaphysics. I mean, this stuff can't be proven, only felt and experienced and believed. You can

Universal Spirit
While some Pagans choose to worship and honor the Lord and Lady, I personally do not like the duality in that. I prefer to honor the Universal Spirit that resides in all of us, in every living thing. This Spirit did not create life, but rather IS life. Just as energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed, so it is for the Life Force, another form energy.

I much rather prefer the meaning of Namaste: The Sacred in Me acknowledges and honors the Sacred in You
