“In Her Image” Project – November 2009
Wiccans and Pagans actively acknowledge that we share this planet with all living things, and that interconnection is what drives ecosystems to provide for all beings, great and small. However, on the spiritual realm this is also true. The fusion of my spirit with that which I surround myself with is of great importance, because my spiritual self is influenced and nourished by the energy of all the spirit energy around me. We give forth our energy and receive energy all the same. In previous posts, I have been pondering transformation. Transformation is the complete change from one form to another. Transformation is powerful but rare. However, there are other ways for humans to de

Thanksgiving
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving luncheon with my family today. I can’t even remember the last time that all of us have been in the same room together, so it was a delight!

There around here somewhere… I have quite a lot of my own material since I became a

Finally Done!!
I'M DONE! Yes, it is true – I have finally got my hands on my diploma! I am so happy and relieved that I have finished my master’s degree. I started back in January 2007, so this have been several years and many tears in the making I want to give a very big “Thank You!” to all my friends and loved ones that supported me! You have no idea how much it
