Some Pagans, such as myself, practice what I call the Craft. Yes, I Craft and I craft. Hardy, har, har. In all reality, the capitalization at the beginning of the word sets the two apart tremendously. Craft, with a little c, is simply the hobby and handy work of creating things with materials. Craft, with [...]

A quick word on whom this Karl Menninger fellow is. For those of you who are not into the realm of psychiatry and psychology at all, he was an American psychiatrist whom practiced from 1919, when he opened the Menninger Clinic with his father, up until his death in 1990. He was one of the [...]
Tears of a clown…or so we think.

I’m sitting here at the end of the school day in my room. And I can hear a student sobbing in the hallway. He’s a special education kiddo. Who knows what his background is or what his homelife is like. He’s a new student that I have yet to know. I can’t help but think, [...]

For those of you that don’t know, I’m leaving the security of my current job behind. I have been working in an area of education that not only do I feel uncomfortable in, but that is prohibiting me from being able to focus on the area that I am certified in, English Language Arts. On [...]
Mind over Matter

This is something I’ve been missing a lot of as of late. Using my mind to help control the matter. I’ve been having a really hard time this past summer staying focused when it comes to pretty much anything. Since starting TaeKwonDo, it has gotten better, but it’s still not perfect. In Paganism, like any [...]
Lughnasadh, Lunasa or Lammas

Those three names that I just listed share one thing in common: they are a holiday in Paganism. Actually, they are the same holiday, but with different names. While trying to attune my life to Nature and the Courses she chooses me to take, I can’t help but think that this is a holiday that [...]

Perchance, now that we have a family blog in the works, I should use this to delve more into religions and finding myself again? I know that there are those, including family members, that may read this and be shocked, confused, worried, annoying, upset, frustrated…what have you by my religious choice, but I see no [...]
Hmph.

Motivation is something that I am severely lacking as of right now. I have no motivation to do anything. I could be a regular American moron and blame it on the weather, but I know that’s not it. I guess I’m just not seeing where the point lies in striving to reach a potential I [...]
It’s hump day!

So yesterday’s idea of working through a schedule hit a bit of a snag in the afternoon. I came down with a wicked headache that I had to nurse so that I could make it to TaeKwonDo. There’s no way I’m going to miss my classes! Speaking of which, next week is a stripe session, [...]
