Divorce on Facebook: the Usual Reason Marriages Break Up
I’m glad I didn’t have to go through a divorce on Facebook. I am watching three long-term marriages disintegrate right now, two on Facebook and another soon to be played out in social media as well. It’s as painful to watch these couples break up as it is to watch them try to stay together. …

The Dark Night of the Soul
Sparklers on the Fairy Tree, a fav of neighborhood children. Photo copyright by Lorna Tedder. The Dark Night of the Soul is a rather ominous term for something that happens in some lives, but not all. I believe that some people actually make it through their entire existence on the planet without encountering anything as…

“I’d Rather Hate your Guts than Believe my Intuition”
Photo credit by bloody marty mix; creative commons license. Intuition is a funny thing. Most people never trust theirs. Sure, later–after they’ve been mugged–they talk about the icky feeling they ignored because they didn’t want anyone to think they were silly or illogical.

The Letting Go Song (Inspiration from ABBA/Mamma Mia)
I took my Broadway-Musical-loving Aislinn to see Mamma Mia a few nights ago so we could have some mother-daughter bonding time. I loved the movie–sucker that I am for musicals and reunion romances. It reminded me of when she and her older sister were little and I used to play ABBA songs while they danced…

Exploring your own Mysteries
A couple of months ago, author Christopher Penczak led me to a wonderful insight–that regardless of our spirituality, we are all seeking the deeper mysteries. This explains why many Christians are seeking more occult knowledge and many pagans are committing to new paths, some attaining clergy status in multiple traditions or experimenting with some of…

Wanted: Goddess Consort
Photo by Mrs. Maze, whose work I enjoy immensely. When it comes to romantic relationships, I like to think of myself as a Goddess, though I suppose I’m really more of a Trinity of Goddesses. I’m not so much Kali or Aphrodite, and I’m definitely not a submissive Goddess. Not to mix pantheons, but I’m…
