Birthday superstition

Today is my birthday—and this year I am giving myself the gift of rejoining the world as a pagan writer . Some context might help. Someplace during the course of my life, I picked up some superstitions. One of which is the idea that whatever I do on my birthday determines what I will be doing that next year . This superstition is similar (probably kissing cousin) to the rituals that surround new year’s day. Yes, that was supposed to be Lower Case, for there are multiple new year days during the year. Business, Chinese, Jewish, Tax, Wiccan, Norse, Egyptian, and your own personal one—your birthday. Sadly for me (and you), we do not have complete control over these days. And unless it is a societal observation, odds are that your birthday is just like every other day of the year. Not special at all. Again context matters: During my fourteenth year, my father finished losing everything we owned. I went from being upwardly mobile middle class (third generation immigrant) to b

Why Fireside Wicca is open to first timers and noninitiates

  When I was recently informed that I was far too dangerous to be allowed to perform open-to-public Wiccan (pagan) ritual, I thought about labelling all my future events— Ceremonialist Initiates Only . In other words, I thought about leaving the public Wiccan community completely—to protect others. Then She Who Must Rule declared that she was going to undo the damage to the community that Maggie Moonstone inflicted upon it with her “leave your differences at the door” event policy. Starting off with banning individuals who should have never been allowed past the door. In other words, there is already a Gatekeeper of All Things Magical and Mystical here in Denver. Given the universe requires balance, there needs to be an organization that truly believes in building community, teaching people to be their best selves, and allows lookie-loos (religion-of-month club) in. I may not have fifty Righteous years of community service under my belt, like the hand chosen successor of Ma

Why Fireside Wicca is kid friendly (open-to-public pagan ritual)

Something that surprises some attendees is how “kid friendly” Fireside Wiccan Community Church is. Because some parents in this community have been told by other leaders to leave their kids at home. No matter how well-behaved your kids are, some “non-parent” will be upset with them. Given I have no kids that I know of, why does the idea of barring kids offend me? Simple, I was a kid. Some context: My Gardnerian aunt, Victoria Josephine Ramalia, was openly a witch. Taught me stuff. Made me question the role of witches in the world. Encouraged me to someday be a public figure. “Why are the Christians allowed to display their Ten Commandments at the court house while I am told that showing off our Horned Lord is totally unacceptable and a societal sin?” As in I don’t remember a time while my aunt was living, that this question wasn’t in the Kool-Aid. This idea only disappears in my maternal family when my aunt is murdered for being polyamorous. It is when my mother is des
