Today Llewellyn dropped me

I'm pretty sure it's because I'm a conservative Pagan.

So much for diversity.

Some of you will laugh

Some will applaud this decision, having never read any of my work

And that's your loss

Your right

But it won't silence me.

My work is for everyone

Because love and spirituality is never truly one-sided

I will keep writing and sharing my work

And I'll get more of the profits signing with small publishers or releasing my books myself, so maybe this is truly the Gods' way of blessing me for my devotion.

The pie is made

The feast is to be laid

The fires will be lit

For the warmth of May

Eat what you reap 

While the wheel turns and creaks

The dirt and the earth

are your mother from birth

Sing dance and bring

your love out from each dream

We are what we breed

with hand, mouth  and body

We cannot always see them

But they play tricks on us

They flit about laughing

Dancing in shadow and light

But sometimes we can catch them

We find traces of their games

and they remind us of

Sensations that live unseen

Blessed Midsummer!

Need to get this to wear at my next book signing!

Can we be done with the “evil Pagan” cliché?

Okay, Hereditary was a good horror movie. (It was kinda slow and certain shots at the end were hilarious, but it was good). I’m used to the evil witch trope. It doesn’t bother me because true equality means there are good and bad people from every race, gender, sex, religion, etc. The bad ones make great villains. 

I get it.

But why, why does that same director now have another “evil pagan” movie coming out. Really? Didn’t he just do that? You’d think he’d find something new and original. 

I guess we can’t expect that since Hereditary is so popular.

He now has to take Midsummer, one of the brightest happiest holidays for white witches, and turn that into some evil sacrificial rite too? Because there aren’t enough “evil Pagan” stereotypes out there. Let’s just fuck with one of the best positive times for Pagans too.

But you know what I’d like to see?

Movies about the 2nd coming of Christ, only he’s actually evil but people worship him and do what he wants because he’s Jesus and they have to follow the son of God.

Or maybe a movie about the Christian all knowing male god torturing his subjects for fun. Just for the sheer pleasure of it. 

Oooo ooo, how about Santa as a rapist? Or the Pope encouraging his clergy to kidnap and molest children... oh wait, that’s too realistic.

Yeah

Let the light guide us in darkness

Follow the flame’s warmth of life

Thank the cold for it’s breath,

Thank shelter in the night.

May we see more in the bright flames

Heed the dance and follow well

Thank Earth for her blankets,

Thank the sun in ourselves.

The fire burns 

The wheel turns 

Let the full moon shine

and the stars align

Blessed Yule
