…I cannot deny that there is a hole in my heart that can’t be ignored.
Treya, ‘The Literary Pagan‘ on Nature Bound Pagan
That hole is for books. Being surrounded by them, being in awe of them, inspired by them – it just isn’t the same when I’m not around them constantly…
Here’s a fun write-up on the Mystic South conference, over at Priestess of Aphrodite.
I recently found out about this CD of songs from the UK Pagan community that aims to fight fascism, thanks to Nimue Brown.
An interesting post on the values of the Rokkatru, from Tahni J. Nikitins on Divine Multiplicity.
Laurie Beth Dawe has a series of Youtube videos on Rekindling Devotion. I haven’t had a chance to sit down and watch them all, but I like her other work.
Pursuing a Goddess is a very experimental process, but one thing that became very clear to me early on was that I had to show devotion and dedication. That manifested in a lot of ways, from small things like saying more frequent prayers to larger things like more rituals and offerings.
Priestess of Aphrodite, ‘Reclaiming Worship as a Modern Pagan‘
[…]I started doing things to honor Her that weren’t in the traditional Pagan offering palette. I devoted myself to learning about love in both the mundane and spiritual realms. I reveled in the tiny beautiful moments in my days, thinking of Her and honoring Her as I did so. I began paying more attention to the way I dress, and I went out of my way to wear beautiful things that made me feel sexy and empowered. I started exploring sensual movement and devotional masturbation. I wrote songs and rituals, choreographed dances, and cooked delicious food. All in honor of Her.
