Quote reblogged from the rebel queen
There is a certain feel to witchcraft, a humour and enthusiasm, often missing in other groups. Witchcraft combines the ideal and the mundane. It blends spiritual intensity and romanticism with the lovable, paunchy flaws of the flesh. Fantasies of elfin unicorns side comfortably with bawdy Pans. The high priest of the coven I joined described this as “the goat and the gazelle”: “all witches have a little of each.” Part of this is the practice itself. People can look slightly ridiculous standing around naked in someone’s living room. One needs a sense of humour in order to tolerate the practice, as well as enough romanticism to take it seriously. And witches are perhaps the only magicians who incorporate humour into their practice. Their central invocation, the declamation of the priestess-turned-goddess, calls for “mirth and reverence.” Laughter often rings within the circle, though rarely in the rites. One high priestess spontaneously explained to me that “being alive is really rather funny. Wicca is the only religion that captures this.

I went on a hike today. At this spot I stopped and did something that I hadn’t done in the 10 years since I left Wicca. I sat on the beautiful overlook, right on the rock and I did a grounding. While I do reiki on myself sometimes and work with energy; I hadn’t done a grounding ritual in this method in a long time.
Within a few moments I could feel a flowing, drawing in and out sensation. I thanked the Creator and the Earth and let it happen.
I feel so restored and so much better and I realized while I was out there that this has been missing from my life. Living in a city and working in a library for so long I have dedicated a lot to what I consider technomancy, but it’s never felt healing the way being amongst the cliffs did today.
I must start hiking again, even if I do have to drive to get there.

“Generation Hex” claims that “The numbers of [Wiccan] adherents are doubling every 30 months.” We suspect that she derived her estimate from this essay. She notes that there are over 700,000 websites for Wiccans on the Internet.
If the latter growth rate is accurate and if it continues, then Wicca would be the third largest religious group in the U.S. by about 2012, behind Christianity and Judaism, and ahead of Islam.
WOO!

(Every New and Full moon, I have a deep, ritualized prayer circle. It’s an entirely private, devoted ceremony. Anyone who wishes to be included, for ANY reason at all, can always let me know.)
The list of worldly affairs is somewhat mind-blowing.

The riots in the UK.
