Harnessing Fire with Demotivation
Destroying a person’s self-confidence is a time- honored method of stealing his power and harnessing it for personal or corporate purposes. One of my colleagues whom I respect was recently offered a slot with a prestigious firm. Good money, great career status, a very enviable position on almost every level. For the final…

DING…DONG…the Bitch Is Dead
Elizabeth, the woman who dominated my childhood is dead. The most hateful woman I have ever known in my life. My father’s mother died this morning. She didn’t care for me even before I was born, and yes, I’ll share that story, too. The last time I had anything to do with her, I was…

No Apology: I’m Jealous and That’s the Way It Is
I’m a jealous girl. And that is by no means an apology. It is a statement of fact. An acknowledgement of a “darker” emotion that we, as humans are supposed to keep under tight control or be judged as inferior and that we as spiritual beings aren’t supposed to have at all— exorcised, I suppose,…

Setting Precedents
I have on one very recent occasion allowed my older daughter, who’s close to 17, to stay alone overnight whileI was away on a business trip. Her dad was aware and she had plenty of backups. I’d also offered to make arrangements for her to stay with a friend or with her dad that night…

Variances of Dreams
Since I was 14, I’ve had different types of dreams. Some are a hodge-podge of daily life…just mundane things or fear dreams or simply recounting the day. Some are prophetic—that first happened with my cousin Terri’s unexpected death when I was 14, followed by the death of her child, in which I was at…

The Ritual Stress Reliever
I love the afterglow of a good ritual. The smell of bonfire smoke in my hair and dragon’s blood on my skin. The way the evening started out cloudy until a certain point in the rit, and now there’s a huge circle around a crystal-clear sky around a full moon…and everything else is still cloudy.…

Meditative Work: Just More Weird-Ass Zombie Dreams
After the oh-so-sweet full moon ritual last night, I wondered how my next meditation would go. The answer? Strangely. I have to write this out in order to make sense of it. I was in a building (here we go again with metaphysical houses), but this one reminded me of a banquet hall for one…

Negative Campaigns: Deciding Who to Vote Against
Ah, political season, and the time to decide whom to vote against. That’s right. Against. Very few politicians seem noble enough to encourage me to cast a vote for them. The only political poll that counts (for me) is the one I take next to my home phone. A really nasty habit has developed among …

The Movement of Generations
My daughter has asked me about some differences in adolescence between her generation and mine. I can’t say it’s true for all of my generation (small town, rural GA in the 1970’s) and hers (military and tourist-related town, Gulf Coast, FL in the 00’s), but it’s what I’ve seen myself. Physically: Boobage– The girls in…

Meditation Funny
A couple of years ago, when I was just starting to meditate on a regular basis, it was really hard for me to get into it. I’d always heard about people who would meditate and get the full-blown TV movie playing on their inner channels whereas I got…nothing. I would recline comfortably on the sofa,…

Religious Breakage and Blockage
When I was Southern Baptist, they called it something else. What was it now? “Division within the church?” “A divided house?” Something like that. Among pagans, it’s known as “witch wars.” Regardless of the religion, they all seem to come down to one thing: control. Yep, who’s got the power, who wants it, and…

I Run My Household (or Does It Run Me?)
Yay! I’ve been productive at home and I have things to show for it! Of course, you can’t tell that by looking at my house. It’s completely trashed right now, what with furniture moved all over the place and stuff stacked to the ceiling and other stuff dusty from the repair work. But it’s done.…
