The Ms. Conover issue – update #2
Many people are still unclear about this not necessarily being a human rights issue (as posted below). Today, I posted the following comment on my own facebook note to help clarify: The following excerpt from the OHRC website may make things clearer: “You have the right to be free from discrimination that is: * in…

The Ms. Conover issue – update
This is a follow up to “Human rights or not – reactions to the Ms. Conover issue”. “Local witches are fired up and ready to picket in support of Miss Toronto Tourism Pageant judge ousted for Wiccan beliefs” Ms. Murray is going to have a rude awakening. Though I wonder if in some way this…

Human rights or not – reactions to the Ms. Conover issue
This is my facebook status recently, “Well, much as it sucks for Ms. Conover, being an invitee to be a pageant judge isn’t a human right like employment. Question: Were they hiring her???” Such is the heart of the issue. Was she being hired? Sadly, many Wiccans and pagans do not understand what constitutes a…

Wicca Candle Magick by Gerina Dunwich – Book Review
Since I recently reviewed two books on candle magic (see the previous one on Natural Magick), I thought I should review this book that I had lying around in my closet. I read this book in my early days of researching witchcraft and Wicca. For the most part, the book is in the format of…

Natural Magick by Sally Dubats – Book Review
Yes, another book on “magick”. Yes, this was sent to me for free. So I read it. Now, here’s a review. (See my other book review – Exploring Candle Magick by Patricia Telesco.) Sally Dubats is a solitary. She is likely not trained in traditional Wicca. Therefore, her practice is strictly her own, with nothing…

A sense of normalcy?
Transitions. Change. That’s what life is about. It certainly seems that’s what my life is about. The only thing you can be certain of is that great ol’ oxymoron, constant change. My life is constantly changing. Sometimes what seems right at the time no longer fits in the puzzle of my life. Such is the…

“Please no tears, no sympathy”
I never do anything I don’t need or want to do. I never do anything for fame or glory. I do things for the experience and challenge of it. That is the reason I decided to be Summoner for the Toronto Temple of the WCC. (See previous blog entry entitled, “Change is Afoot – Something…

Rant – They Never Give Up
(Disclaimer: Anything said about the Christian group mentioned in this blog does not necessarily apply to every Christian. There must be some nice ones out there who aren’t trying to impose their beliefs on others.) Okay, as part of my role as Summoner for the Toronto Temple of the WCC, it is my duty to…

Books, books, and more books
Most recently, I’ve been reading astrology books since The History of the Horoscope re-kindled my interest in the “ancient study of the stars”. After some searching I settled on buying a book called Aspects in Astrology by Sue Tompkins. It’s quite informative and provides a decent guideline of interpreting various aspects in a horoscope –…
