It’s been too long since I last posted on my blog. I spent much of October sick or helping take care of sick family members. I thought we were all doing okay for Samhain, and I enjoyed a lovely celebration with my grove, but then the crud crept back up on us and extended aContinue reading “Rethinking Holiday Gifts (AKA – The Gift I Want More Than Anything This Year)”

Three Things Thursday: Sturgeon Lecture, African American Nature Poetry, and Animism in Avatar
Each week, I share three things that have informed or inspired me in the hopes that they will help someone else exploring nature-based spirituality. Sturgeon Lecture – Tonight! Later today, I’m going to attend an online lecture from local environmentalist organization the Indian River Lakes Conservancy. I’m super pumped to learn about one of myContinue reading “Three Things Thursday: Sturgeon Lecture, African American Nature Poetry, and Animism in Avatar”
Three Things Thursday: Intersectional Environmentalism, The Tigers of Scotland, and Camp Nano!
Each week, I share three things with you, usually media from others that informs and inspires my spirituality and writing. I hope it helps you grow and learn with me! Intersectional Environmentalism If you’ve done any reading about race and feminism, you should already be at least familiar with the term intersectionality. I recently learned aboutContinue reading “Three Things Thursday: Intersectional Environmentalism, The Tigers of Scotland, and Camp Nano!”
Show Love to the Land by Localizing Your Practice
Valentine’s Day brings a focus on relationships. Though I don’t observe the holiday with my husband (my daughter is obsessed with it), I’ve spent the week thinking about my connection to the land. Perhaps it’s the lingering winter and my desire to garden and forage again, or maybe it comes from my discipline kicking inContinue reading “Show Love to the Land by Localizing Your Practice”
Three Things Thursday
In an effort to update my blog more regularly, I’ve decided to try a Three Things Thursday series. For the moment, I think I’ll just post three things relating to my practice – thoughts and reflections for the week, anticipation and plans for upcoming events, a toast or boast, mini review, etc. New Goal –Continue reading “Three Things Thursday”
Helping Australia
The news from Australia is heartbreaking. There’s only so much each of us can do, especially if you live in another country like me, but if you can, please contribute. I donated to The Koala Hospital in Port Macquarie. I’ve seen them in the news a lot, and I sympathize with the work they’re doing.Continue reading “Helping Australia”
Connecting to the Land and Learning the Land
I read an article today that captured the spirit and concern of one of my recent posts. It relates to Britain specifically, but I see a similar disconnect between people and nature in the United States. It amazes me how many adults (who have lived in Upstate NY all their lives) don’t know the difference betweenContinue reading “Connecting to the Land and Learning the Land”
My Own Peaceful Protest
I posted this on my private FB feed today, but I decided that I wanted to share it here too. If you are a friend or you happen to follow me on Twitter, you know I’ve been very supportive of the Water Protectors in North Dakota. You know I’ve been sharing news stories that, otherwise,Continue reading “My Own Peaceful Protest”
Mother’s Day Offerings for the Earth Mother
I seem to post about food an awful lot, and I hope you’ll forgive me. Harvesting, making, and preserving food plays such an important role in our religious traditions and holidays. I recently recognized what has become a family tradition in early May – harvesting and cooking with dandelion flowers. In fact, I know weContinue reading “Mother’s Day Offerings for the Earth Mother”
Pagan Parenting: Peas, Frogs, and Buds on Earth Day
My daughter and I took a walk around our home to celebrate Earth Day. Granted, we do this regularly, but why not do something outside today? It was chilly, so, regardless of what season the calendar says it is, we took our winter coats out. First, we visited the container garden in back toContinue reading “Pagan Parenting: Peas, Frogs, and Buds on Earth Day”
