Ming and I did a ritual burying the significant wax. The wax was from a candle I called the friendship candle. birthday One year I was very sad and hopeless. Then this penpal I adore in the Pacific Northwest sent me a box of presents for my birthday. It included lavender scented soap, lavender scented… Read More »
Hello, I’d like to tell you some places I feel safe. I shared some feedback with the local UU church recently. It was about my needs not being met at their service on Sunday. Ming and I went in person because our friend Ariel gave the sermon about tarot as a spiritual force in her… Read More »
Ming took me out to the river bed, which I’d been wanting for a long time. Last time was a huge deal to me: I prayed, cried, and got a message from my mom. So I was intimidated to return–too curious. But I ached to lie on the earth and feel the earth support me,… Read More »
“Wow, that trip was such a success!” I told Ming as he drove. “I didn’t shit my pants even once!” We laughed. There had been bathroom concern, because of a medication I’m still getting used to. “We didn’t get into even one car wreck,” I continued. “We didn’t die at all. No hauntings–no abductions.

I’m having some health issues I’m not really talking about. Remember when I had that ulcer bleed that put me in the hospital? I learned a lot there. Well, the current issues are stomach-related. So praying to my stomach is a thing, lately. When something almost kills you, makes sense to develop anxiety around that. … Read More »

I’m still looking for new ways to ask for help, that work for me, and don’t just stress me more. September prayer… Read More »
A friend asked what it means that I’m a witch. Thanks for asking! I’ve described myself as a trikewitch, garden witch, pagan, pantheist Earth-worshiper, and goddess worshiper. All are true. I was pagan as a teenager and young adult, happy to find a religion that made sense to me. I’d been worshiping the moon for… Read More »
A friend asked me if I had any prayer requests. He’s a prayer chaplain, so that’s something he loves. Prayers have been a big part of our friendship. To answer his question, I made a list. You know me–I love making lists and am good at it. Then I sent the list to a few… Read More »
I fell in love with the desert, activism, and Ming all at the same time. It was a Sacred Peace Walk, here in Nevada, two years before we moved here. Spirituality in activism is important to me. Recently I read this essay Activism as Spirituality that spoke some truths that are important to me. Please… Read More »
