The Secrets In Plain Sight!

Imbolc in some places is a Sabbat greeted with a feeling of relief.  We've had winter with us for a while, the brightness and merriness of Yule is in the past, and what's been left to many of us is simply cold and perhaps a bunch of snow, too!  At Imbolc, we celebrate the first stirrings o...

OK, I begin this with a really, really bad joke.  I know it's a bad joke, it's a so-called "blonde joke", and I don't think much of jokes that are based on any kind of stereotyping.  But I remembered it, it would not get out of my head, and then I realized that it illustrated a valid point...

If you ask someone why religion and/or spirituality is important to them or is not important to them, invariably the answer will center on whether itactually works for that person.  While it is true that there are some who will go through the motions based on someone "up there" keeping score an...

As you listen to this Yule is behind us.  And, as most of us are also aware, the Christians' Christmas is either upon us or recently past as you hear this episode.  And there are many other traditions which have celebrations at the time of the Winter Solstice, all of which center on a birt...

It's Yuletide, and here's our Yuletide celebration, in our special temple where all can come together and join in, no matter where you are!

Yule is a special time, for so many reasons, not the least of which is its prominence in the Wheel Of The Year.  After all, it is the first visible fulfill...

Going to Before The Beginning and moving forward has been a learning experience, and this time is no exception to that!  This time, let's go to Before The Beginning and see how it relates to what we do, especially spiritually and magickally.  We've related Before The Beginning to oru spiri...

Again, let's go back to Before The Beginning.  But this time, we'll take a different journey.  Last time, we went from Before The Beginning to our selves to see the basis of our own individual power.  This time, let's go out into the universe as a whole (or the little corner of it we...
