A new project

Most of you know of the podcast I tried to put on. I feel my endeavors there have failed. There is however, a new project I am working on that I hope you will enjoy. I will not yet reveal what it is, but you will know in the coming weeks. It will be interesting, or, at least I hope it won't be boring. :-)

P.S. Cara Schulz, you're not one of those at patheos that I take offense to.

Samhain Ritual

A blessed Samhain to all!

So, Samhain is once again upon us. A time once again for honoring our dead and continuing our internal work to better ourselves. I'm going to be doing a personal ritual tomorrow probably some time around the afternoon. My mother will be at work and my sister will be at her dad's house, so that would be the best time for me. I don't have every single tool some might say I need, but that's ok. The most important magickal tool of all is the one inside your skull. I have a wand and an athame, candles for the Lord and Lady, and for my ancestors. I have items representing the four elements for the quarters. What I can't quite figure out is what I want to say for the quarter calls or for casting and closing the circle itself. For my ancestors, I believe each particular speech will flow when the time is right. I'm not even sure where I'm going to be doing this. I'm planning on doing it at Huntington Beach Central Park in Huntington Beach, CA, but I must acquaint myself with local fire safety laws beforehand.

P.S. Dave of the Pagan Centered Podcast has given me leave to discuss a few topics from the Ask A Pagan forum on my show so, expect a new episode soon! :-D

The View in the Broom Closet

   Right now the only reason I am able to be on this computer and bring to you another post, is because I have not the eyes of another who would see this and immediately ask what I am doing or bring about a dry spell of this blog. I yearn for the day when I can speak to such people freely about certain things and it not come to ill consequence. I always speak the truth but I do not always speak freely. I cannot, at this time, do anything that may jeopardize the relationships around me.  Hopefully some day I will be able to converse in free tongue with my family about who and what I am, but as for now, I simply wait. I am a pagan currently in the broom closet. I will simply have to learn in secret and I will continue to share with you my knowledge and opinions. I will try to make a new post at least once a week, but I can't make any promises for the time being.
