		<description><![CDATA[Hospital life is still eating up my time, so I missed the first week of B prompts. This week I&#8217;m writing about blood. ***** Most Pagan groups are against using blood in ritual. I find that it can be useful in specific situations. Menstrual blood has been useful to me in fertility rites, for example. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rowan Pendragon over at http://onewitchsway.com is hosting an interesting blog project this year. Each Friday, participants will write a post related to Pagan, Witchcraft, or spirtual themes, based on prompts tied to letters of the alphabet. I&#8217;m hoping to post every week; we shall see how chaotic life is this year.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been battling my inner critic lately when it comes to writing. Not that this is a new thing, but that right now it&#8217;s clear to me that this is an internal fight, not just a matter of available time and brain cells. (Side note: frankly, the more I read about inner critics, the more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find myself thinking, after too many too-busy weeks, that I am grateful for my faith. My connection to my primary Goddesses is a deep well of peace and acceptance when I have run out of them. The time I spent last year studying Zen philosophy complements that nicely &#8211; when I don&#8217;t have anything [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that time of year where all over the internet, there are assertions that the only acceptable greeting is &#8220;Merry Christmas&#8221; and that anyone who doesn&#8217;t agree is a horrible person. There&#8217;s even a photo this year that says we should just leave the US entirely. I can&#8217;t help but think that it&#8217;s a terribly [...]]]></description>

The sun comes up and goes down, and tomorrow is a new day, and as our family grows and we finally bring our daughter home from the NICU, the synchronicity of finding this reminder of [...]]]></description>

My menstrual cycles &#8211; the first since I gave birth this spring &#8211; started on last month&#8217;s dark moon, and I anticipate this month&#8217;s to begin any day now. Fitting, but bittersweet all the same since there will be no more babies (clearly, two very early and fragile births is enough). [...]]]></description>
