The veil will be thin for half a year. Yes, it’s an anomaly. Yes, it’s going to be full of weasels. Yes, the title of the post is a Ministry reference with some LHC thrown in for good measure.

The Result of Depersonalization on the Internet
The hate, the paranoia, the violence that is erupting is a direct result of the behavior was have, as a society, allowed to continue on the Internet. There is another way.
Moving From Hard Into Mastery
I have had several opportunities as of late to work with people who have natural or organic ways of doing something, whether that is running energy, channeling, or intuitive readings; people who have decided to seek out formal training in something they are already doing. I always support this. Having the book learning, knowing the…
We and the Earth Are One
I love getting things like this in my inbox: Hey everyone, here is an update report from Brian in Israel on the state of the Barley crop. The Barley crop must be ripe for harvest in order to call the upcoming month the new year. It appears that the crops are at that stage and…
When Things Go Wrong They Can Still Be A Force For Good
I still need to write my wrap up from Pantheacon. This is more important right now. I first heard about this my my roommate at P-con, a woman who was deeply affected by the events in question. There were more posts than the ones I have included below, but these are the three that, for…
Family of the Heart and Family of Origin
Some people grow up in tight-knit families. Regardless of any disfunction, their family is un-dissolvable. They get together for holidays, even trading off hosting duties, pretty much no matter what. Their family comes before their social circles, and they only show up at “orphan” gatherings if finances and geography keep them from their blood relations….
Web of Information
It’s the late-night blogs, written when my household is asleep, that can give you insight into my motivations, my values, and how my mind works. They’re not generally the well thought out entries, the ones that get researched and planned. No, these posts are off the cuff, welling up from the darkness, still oozing the…

The Importance of RSVPing
We all get busy. Life happens. Mercury Retrograde or Murphy’s Law can throw a monkey wrench into the best laid plans. We frequently think that our ability to show up (or not) for an event won’t affect anything. We even forget to let people know that our plans have changed (because, well, busy). You do…
A Very Tardy Writeup of Pantheacon
Over Presidents’ Day weekend, I attended Pantheacon in San Jose. Envision 3000 pagans, 4 days of workshops and rituals (with up to 14 of those being held simultaneously in any given time slot), plus vendors and readers and book signings and hospitality suites, in an airport hotel. This was my second year attending and my…
Economics and Paganism
Recent surveys have shown that there .67% of the population self-identifies as “Pagan” when asked about their belief system. That is a slightly higher percentage than Seventh Day Adventists or Unitarian Universalists. I find that many people I encounter, whether they identify as “Pagan” or simply “spiritual,” would love to have a community of people…
Have You Had Your Check-up?
People get readings for any number of reasons. People who get readings to get an absolute prediction of the future, or who are looking for someone to co-sign their BS, or who want to be able to abdicate responsibility for their lives don’t like my readings much. My focus is on your path, your choices,…
