Public ritual – April 1
MM, Ritual last Sunday was a beautiful dance and music ritual dedicated to waking up the goddess as it is now spring. It has been a little cold lately, so perhaps the goddess needs some encouragement? The whole ritual was done by dance or music, in particular drumming. Beautifully put together and performed. The Priestess…

Rituals in March
MM, It’s been a while since I last posted. I’ve been crazy busy as usual, but I’m finished working on something important, so hopefully things should ease up for me. Public ritual on March 11th was a song and music ritual. It reminded us of how we learn from music and song. Ah, the stories…

Korean Sword Dance
MM, In light of a recent ritual involving dance and music, I’m reminded of something I still want to study one day (assuming I ever get the time) – Korean sword dance. Here’s a video of probably the best Korean sword dancer: Sword dancing seems to be a tradition in Korea, as there are quite…

What I Am Studying
MM, Aside from reiki, Wicca, and martial arts, what else am I studying you may be wondering. It’s funny how following a spiritual path leads you in all sorts of directions. For one thing, I seem to have gone full circle and I’m studying more about my heritage and genetic roots. Thus, I’ve been studying…

Movie Time!
MM, I’ve been hankering to see another movie again lately. According to my horoscope, transiting Neptune trines my Ascendant until next February, which means that I will be tempted to escape and withdraw from the world during this time. Since this period is long, I can’t realistically withdraw for that whole time – not unless…

Recent Rituals
MM, The past month has been quiet for me, at least concerning rituals. I’ve been in study mode mostly – you may have noticed less frantic posting as of late. đ Eventually, my brain just fills up again with too much and I have to start writing again! Since February 18th was Chinese New Year’s…

Blood Diamonds
Okay, I’ve already seen the movie, Blood Diamond starring Leonardo DiCaprio and I thought it was an excellent movie. The movie touches on a subject hard core and pulls no punches. Then of course, Valentine’s Day rolls around (and I won’t even get into my rant on how Valentine’s Day is a Christian pervertion of…

Recent rituals
MM, Public Imbolc ritual was on February 4th. It was based on the three faces of Brighid. Each of the different Brighids were found in different locations throughout the building. The participants were to find one of them to receive a blessing. Group ritual last week was a ritual dedicated to Dionysus. Interesting since I’ve…

Last Few Rituals for January
MM, Last week, my group did a house blessing for one of the coven members. House blessings are very simple in theory, but pretty tiring to do. I was quite tired when I got home. Public ritual on the 28th was a ritual for change and transformation dedicated to Brighid and Lugh. It involved melting…
