It's snowing here in glorious Binghamton (not to mention it's fucking cold in my room) and I'm praying to whatever is floating around in cosmos that the lovely proprietors and conductors-of-affairs at Binghamton University will pull their absurdly large heads out of their asses and cancel class tomorrow. I don't think that's too much to ask for. No, no I don't.

In other news, I finally stumbled into the Mindsay forums today and found the thread about Paganism. Reading the posts in the thread sparked a lot of memories and old feelings in me, and I realized that not only do I miss being religious and having religious convictions, I more specifically miss being Pagan. I miss the rituals and the Sabbats and the celebration of life and... just all of it. In the year since I've stopped practicing, I've managed to forget a good share of what I'd learned. I spent nearly four years trying to desperately absorb everything I could concerning Paganism, and now I've lost all that knowledge, lost it or locked it away somewhere. Either way, I can't remember very much of what I'd learned.

So this goes out to anyone who stumbles across my blog: if you're Pagan or Wiccan or anything of the sort then please, take mercy on my poor memory, leave me a comment, and tell me something useful about this religion. In an odd way, I'm asking for a teacher. Yes, that's it: if you're Pagan and read this, be my teacher.

Until then... adios. I've got an obscene amount of reading and an overlarge sense of hunger.

Re: To my dearest Pagan roots: where art thou?
Pagan roots run the deepest of any other.  They are coiled in the very DNA of your femininity.  You are the Goddess incarnate.  Such power!

 

Everyday magic is superior to circle or ritual.  When you take your morning shower, infuse the water with a healing green light at the shower head and feel the water cleansing your aura of impurities.

 

When you groom yourself and dress for the day, remember that you are preparing the face of the Goddess for all to see.  You are Her representative in the world.

 

When you eat, connect with the earth from which the food came.  Thank Her and eat consciously and absorb Her energy.

 

Salute Her in the snow, and wind, and rain, and budding plants, and brightly decorated sky.  The mystery that we hold, that has been lost to other faiths, is that all things are alive and that Divinity is in all things.

 

When you make love, dedicate it to her as we priestesses did in the olden days.  When you have your period celebrate the ultimate power that represents.  We women create life!  How powerful is that?!  All the mating rituals we indulge in celebrate and honor that.  When men treat you with disrespect, recognize it as their fear of your power.  Few men really "get it".  Involve yourself romantically only with those who do.

 

Fight demons of hate and ignorance and cruelty wherever you encounter it.  Remember that you are a light-bearer.

 

Magic is alive and magic is now and magic is in you.

 

Living the mystery in the moment is way more significant than attending circle once a month...

 

Blessed Be!

Lady Chalice
