Cat, thank you so much!

The writing’s coming a little easier now that I’ve moved. I can be done saying “when I get there”, because I’m here, and now there are some things I can do! Digging in, mostly. Consciously treading the same patch of earth that was so influential in my becoming Pagan in the first place. Kind of a head trip.

Blue Star–awesome! While I’m sure there are exceptions to every rule, the Blue Star folks I have known have been unusually vibrant spiritual people, who manage to be very serious in their magical work, give kick-ass ritual, and still be grounded and genuine in daily life.

Mazel tov! May this year be a flourishing one for you.

Sorry to come to this so late. But let me say, not writing because you can’t yet find words is fine–there is so MUCH I want to say, but haven’t yet found words for! And likewise, not sharing all that you have to say with the Whole Wide World (WWW, aka teh Interwebs *smile*) is also dandy!

But don’t think that you need to wait until you’ve been Pagan for a long, long time to have much to say. One thing that is very clear to me, as I read Pagan blogs, is how much of the best, most important writing going on in the Pagan blogosphere is being done by men and women who are coming into their spiritual maturity.

Keep effing the ineffable! No one else has your specific voice, and as long as you are true to what you experience, what you write will have value. (I’ll want to read it, anyway.)

Blessings!

Comment on Ostara, anyway by inannasstar

One thing that I have learned on my many years of the Pagan path is that everything we do is sacred. That in and of itself is Witchcraft. If you force yourself into a Ritual while you’d rather sit on the couch eating chocolate eggs and watching HGTV is that real? Might as well become a Christian and attend Sunday Mass with the rest of the sheep. Tune into you, into what each Sabbat makes you feel and honor that feeling. That is Ostara for you. I’ve written many blogs on this subject, take a gander at my blog and check it out. I recently wrote such one on Ostara.

If it helps any, my basic theory has been to write about stuff that people mostly aren’t talking about much (but that *could* be talked about), or stuff that keeps coming up.

In the first case, it helps me think through it, and in the second, it gives me a handy reference the next times it comes up. Readers are excellent in either part of the process, but I’m writing for myself as well, and that made it easier to get over my “Does anyone else care?” feelings.
