Well, given the lack of traffic on them, I have decided to delete the Forum and the Book of Shadows.

No rest for the weary,
06 Apr 2016 in Admin
Well, you may have noticed the dearth of shows from Brian and I, and that’s because life kicks us in the teeth.
I FINALLY got settled into my home, got a new cat, dealt with financial crises, sweated and anguished over the political stuff coming out of all the states lately, and so on. I’m sure Brian will add what he has had happening to him lately soon.

METHODS TO BOND WITH DEITIES
- Research: Reading lore, studying history and focusing on how others have bonded in the past can deepen your own bond.
- Offerings: Leaving gifts or foods you’ve made or cooked shows passion and effort that many deities seem to appreciate.
- Divination: Using tarot cards or pendulums or writing or dreaming can be way to interpret deities.
- Journals: Whether for yourself or for your deity journals are a good way to review past experiences.
- Crafts: Whenever making something by hand the time you spend and efforts you put in the details help make connections.

More Altar stuff,
21 Sep 2015 in Articles
Well, I keep coming across more and more stuff that I have. So since we FINALLY found a home, we decided to set up our house altar again.
This is it. It is along the wall that is the exact center of the house, and I hope you recognize everything.
My ordination is hanging on the wall to the left. Staff and Stang in the corner to the right. There’s also a Long Wooden Meditation Flute in that corner that my daughter plays. Our coven Sword is there too.
Details of some of the altar tools:

A Druid’s Staff,
14 Aug 2015 in Articles
This is the staff that Daven (my former sacred identity, I use Erin now) uses in his rituals. Take a look and find out what everything is and why its there.
I mention “the Sage”. This is a link to him http://groo.com/sage.html
A good picture of The Sage and the bottle on his staff.

Thrifting,
14 Jun 2015 in Articles
I know that Brian and I have mentioned in multiple shows that thrifting for your altar decorations and tools is one way to go.
It’s nice to have several thousand dollars of tools that are exactly what you want, but I went out over the past two days just looking around in the various local thrift shops, and if I found something that I think could make good altar decorations or working tools, I took a picture of it, and now I’m sharing them all with you.
I’ll make comments on them as I come to the photo.
