I might not be able to fill my cupboards with food for the winter, but what I am able to grow and wildharvest really helps connect me to the land and the changing seasons. Thanks Nature Spirits! Thanks Mother Earth!

Pagan Parenting: Encouraging a Love of Fresh, Seasonal Food
My toddler daughter is mastering walking (and running), and loves going outside to walk around my garden. She’s also mastering her fine motor skills, which has made for some mildly stressful walks. She’s seen me harvest enough food from the garden to understand that you can pick things and eat them. Thankfully, she doesn’t putContinue reading “Pagan Parenting: Encouraging a Love of Fresh, Seasonal Food”
North Country Druid: An Afternoon on Wellesley Island
Like most people in America, I spent some time outdoors with my family this Labor Day weekend. We decided to explore one of the larger islands in the 1000 Islands – Wellesley Island. We chose to take a late afternoon hike on one of the shorter trails at the Minna Anthony Nature Center. We arrivedContinue reading “North Country Druid: An Afternoon on Wellesley Island”
Women’s Circle
I’ve been reading and enjoying Margot Adler’s “Drawing Down the Moon.” Several people in my protogrove decided to read it towards various ADF study programs and to honor Adler as an Ancestor. I know I’ll have more to discuss when I’m finished. For now, I’m nearing the end of the section on Feminist Witchcraft. IContinue reading “Women’s Circle”

As you may or may not notice (depending on how you receive my posts), I’ve started to move from Blogger to this – WordPress. I used Blogger for awhile and was familiar with it. As time went by, I noticed how nice WordPress blogs/sites looked. My husband fooled around with one for awhile and hadContinue reading “Slowly Moving”
Testing…

‘Twas the night before Wellspring…
I guess I’m as ready for Wellspring as I’ll ever be. I spent the last several hours rushing to get tags on my dolls, clothes packed, and a car rented. It’s supposed to be in the 80s all week and I just can’t tolerate being in a hot car without AC for five and aContinue reading “‘Twas the night before Wellspring…”
It’s here!
Well, one of them. One of what, you ask? Why, one of the three books I ordered to study magic in Northern Europe as part of the ISP! I’ve been anxiously awaiting for their arrival and, now that I have one, I can begin Magic I! I received The Irish Celtic Magical Tradition by SteveContinue reading “It’s here!”
Oh, my aching gluts!
I must say… All that reiki healing yesterday gave me such an ache in my bum. Too much gassho while kneeling and slouching over bodies laying on the floor… I think my gluteus maximus needs some healing.
Walking in a Springtime Wonderland
The weather up here in Northern NY is amazing. I can actually go outside without a coat in the afternoon and early evening. It’s especially amazing when you consider the frost we had this morning. I’m definitely not putting any plants out yet! After work I convinced my husband to take a walk with meContinue reading “Walking in a Springtime Wonderland”
