The Impending Bed Bug Infestation a/k/a Bringing Home Hitchhikers from Pagan Festivals

Posted on May 5, 2013 by

Usually I’m the lucky kind of gal and I seldom even get “skeeter” bites when I’m out and about at festivals. However, this time was different. I ended up with a spider bite behind my knee and one of my face. After my husband and I returned home, we did the usual head to toe mutual bug check and found that I had managed to acquire a tick as well. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am definitely a nature religion kind of gal, but I don’t exactly go as far as embracing the biting bug part of nature. Hitchhikers … Continue reading →

Chronic Pain ~ Marriage & Spouses

Posted on November 9, 2012 by

Chronic pain is tough on a marriage ~ no sense pretending it isn’t. I don’t normally write too much about my personal relationship, but we both thought this was a topic worth sharing. It is one thing growing older with someone and quite another when one of the two develops long term (often forever) chronic pain or health issues along the way and the other doesn’t. It doesn’t just change the dynamics of the person suffering from pain issues, it also changes how that person interacts in their marriage, and, consequently, affects the other spouse as well. In our case, … Continue reading →

Season of the Witch

As the first really chilly wind of the season starts blowing in, I know my season is coming and I begin reenergizing after the usually hot, humid Florida summer passes away. I am, after all, a winter witch. The summer sun makes me lazy and sleepy and I spend the majority of it closed up in some sort of air conditioned place in an instinctual survival method like a bear that hibernates in the winter. Silly old bear. Everyone knows the best time to be out and about and get things done is in the crisp winter air. Okay, well, … Continue reading →

There are so many lessons to be learned as well as challenges to face with chronic pain issues. Before we enter into chronic pain issues, we travel through life encountering one or two issues at a time, focusing our attention on resolving those issues, resolving them, and then moving on with the business of living until other challenges arise. In the business of regular living, there is an ebb and flow to issues and challenges and for most people, there are periods of lull and rest where you can recuperate from the energy and emotions expended on resolving issues. As … Continue reading →

Does chronic pain issues affect you spiritually and magickally? Yup. Of course, it does. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship that chronic pain issues has with the spiritual and magickal self, we first have to take a quick look into our basic construction. We are spirits manifested into the physical plane. Yup. That’s what we are. In our belief system, we choose to reincarnate life after life in order to learn lessons and gain wisdoms. Before we are born, we are in a more pure spiritual state unattached to the concerns, worries, scattered mental thinking, etc. … Continue reading →

Musings from the Foggy Road

Posted on November 6, 2012 by

After an extended absence and much pestering by my husband to start writing again, here I am although I’m not quite sure where here is at the moment. I do know that somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost a lot of my simple joy in living and have fallen into a state of surviving which is a crappy way to go through an incarnation. One thing I do know is that I am not depressed but rather in a state of transition I suppose. There are many mundane factors at which I suppose anyone could point a … Continue reading →

Transforming Belief Into Faith ~ Accepting More Good

Posted on July 16, 2012 by

The Goddess never gives you more than you can handle. This includes the bad as well as the good. The thought for the day is how much good can you handle in your life? On the surface, first responses are usually somewhere along the lines of “as much good things as I can get!” The truth is, however, that we have imposed or accepted limitations as to the levels of bad things we can handled AND the levels of good things we can accept. Sometimes it has to do with society classes. For example, a person who has been at … Continue reading →
