My FREE e-course, Planning Pagan Holidays, is now available!
If you’ve ever been overwhelmed by how to plan for holidays, or forgotten what you did last year for Mabon (even though you remember something didn’t go as planned), this course is for you.

I almost forgot, in the midst of all the family drama! My essay, The Thin Veil, was published this month in Pagan Writers Presents Samhain
Sahmain is an odd time of year here – time to remember our beloved dead. In the last few years, raising a child with complex medical needs has meant facing death head on, both in our own lives, and through the lives (and losses) of other families facing similar struggles. That’s the essence of my submission to this anthology.
I apologize for not updating lately – I’ve been spending way too much time at the hospital with our little boy, who is now right at 3 months old (his due date would have been this Friday) and still on a pretty hefty amount of O2 support to breathe well.
We only got one “Pagan” gift from our various friends -an Egyptian protection amulet, hand-crafted by a close friend. Actually, come to think of it, that (and the rest of the stuff that came with it) and a gift that’s being mailed this week are the *only* gifts from our friends-we-met-by-being-Pagan. Funny how community works, don’t you think?
I’ve been reading some of my backlog of Pagan books, and I’ve realized that some of the authors I know are not really that good at writing, they just had the gumption to write and get it published. This is an important lesson.
Another important lesson: some SSRIs make it impossible for me to write. This is a bad thing.
Anyway, now that I’m getting things pulled together and am coping a little better, I should hopefully be back on the writing bandwagon in the next week or two. Happy equinox next week to all those who celebrate it.
Since the last update, I have:
- Added more than a dozen links to groups, other blogs, artists, writers, and Pagan resources
- Added recommended links to books at amazon.com
- Updated the workshops page, including a few more hands-on type classes
- Deleted a ton of spam comments
- Posted 2 new essays (which makes 3 months in a row that I posted actual material – that may be a new record for me)
- Updated the work-in-progress page again, with the announcement of a publication date for Manifesting Prosperity
As a reminder, we’ll be vending at Convocation this year, February 21-24. I’m looking for a few other good venues that are reasonably local for this year as well.
