Best Wishes to the Women of Saudi Arabia!

by Beth on September 25, 2011

You can read more about it here. Let us welcome and bless our hard-pressed sisters. [...]

Because I am very public about my practice of Witchcraft, people frequently ask me where they can find a coven, a grove, a circle, or other group with whom to study, worship and practice magic. It’s not always easy. In America (at least until the next election), we no longer condemn Craft practitioners to capital [...]

Not Really Wordless Wednesday

by Beth on July 27, 2011

As you know, on Wednesdays, I usually take a break from opinions and rhetoric.  But this is just too important, and it is mostly a graphic, not an essay. According to The Atlantic and The New York Times, any coherent, honest discussion of the debt ceiling should include this chart.  It is a graphic of [...]

A Correction to Tuesday’s Post

by Beth on April 7, 2011

On Tuesday, I posted an emergency request for you to ask our governor to veto some poorly worded legislation. Unfortunately,  I have since learned that the inflammatory condemnation of this bill, which I shared here, was distorted and unfair. I apologize and am posting an update and correction today.

Dear Gov. Perdue: Just Say NO!

by Beth on April 5, 2011

Dear friends and visitors, This is a very different kind of blog post today, but it is an emergency situation. My home state of North Carolina is under attack.  The NC legislature is about to make it a felony to be an alternative health practitioner!

The Fourth House – On Hold For Now…

by Beth on April 1, 2011

He who lives without folly isn’t so wise as he thinks. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld  (1613 – 1680) Since it is the first of the month, I had originally planned to begin our discussion of the Fourth House of the birth chart today. But I am instead taking a slight detour to rant.  Sorry. [...]
