Doing What Makes You Happy: How That is the Best Magic
By Lady Saoirse
Bright Blessings,
I got a lesson in happiness at Alpha Book Center in Phoenix, Arizona way back in the Spring of 2005. The man who ran the Center was named Dr. John Rodgers, and he was a force of power. I had gone in for a tarot reading during a time when I felt like my life was off the rails. After he did my reading, he asked if I was staying for the Metaphysical class, and I asked who was coming. He said, “You’re it,” and with that, the class began. Continue reading Doing What Makes You Happy: How That is the Best Magic

The Practice of Discord in Civil Society: A Guide for the Industrious Beginner
by His Most Pompous Holiness, Elezar the Apostate
The second law of thermodynamics states, in so many words, that all fires burn their available reserves of fuel and die; and the universe is afire. The Wiccan Rede states the same thing in these words: “The Sun is but a Mortal Light Surrounded by Immortal Night.” And in these words: “Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust; If Born You Were, then Die You Must.”
“But those are physical laws, laws that apply exclusively to the material plane,” Michael argued with pathetic determination against Zoey’s resolute obstinance. Continue reading The Practice of Discord in Civil Society: A Guide for the Industrious Beginner

Why Isn’t the Magic Working?
By Lady Saoirse
Bright Blessings,
When I was a kid, my favorite movie was one called Little Big Man, starring Chief Dan George as Grandfather. At the end of the movie Grandfather sang a beautiful death song and told his god that he was ready to die. He lay down to die, but instead of dying, a beautiful rain swept the landscape.
