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.

Macha Calls

If you haven’t read Sara Ann Lawless’ latest, revealing post, you really must. It’s called “So Long, and Thanks for All the Abuse: A History of Sexual Trauma in the Pagan Community.” It’s long, raw, and has the potential to trigger. If you are up to reading it, I highly recommend it out of necessity.Continue reading “Macha Calls”

30+ Examples of Christian Privilege — Everyday Feminism

Just a quick share today. I’m super busy with appointments and breastfeeding! My friend RavynStar shared this link on her FB last night.

A Dangerous Method – A Brief Review

Ever since I heard there was going to be a film featuring Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, I have excitedly anticipated “A Dangerous Method.” I first became aware of Jung’s work in psychology when I applied some of his ideas to a paper on Frankenstein in 12th grade. I was dabbling with Wicca at theContinue reading “A Dangerous Method – A Brief Review”

Despite family and college-related stress, I’ve finally managed to take part in the ball! I had grand schemes but, because of everything going on, I will just share what I did today.

The Wild Hunt » British Pagans on ABC’s Nightline

Most of you have probably seen this already, but I wanted to share it anyway. When I was living with my parents, I used to watch Nightline with my mum before bed. I remember their “Faith Matters” segments and always bemoaned that they were only devoted to the big monotheistic religions. I just wanted oneContinue reading “The Wild Hunt » British Pagans on ABC’s Nightline”
