Today, after a day of crazy weather, this double rainbow appeared outside the Shop. It was a beautiful moment of communitas and connection with several folks who poured out of the restaurant next door to take photos with us.

Hi! I saw the cheese fertility spell- that was neat to read about! Is there a male equivalent spell?

Also… I’m allergic to dairy, can i use vegan cheese? Lol >.>

Not in the grimoires, but that doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be!

As to an allergy (or even a vegan preference), here’s what my educated-as-a-magician self says: “the spell says ‘cheese,’ but makes no mention of the type. As a result, you can use whatever thing-called-cheese you wish!"

I speak today of rebirth, Of arising from the ashes, Showing your identity, And washing away the past.

My voice is lifted in praise: You kindled a light in darkness, And drew the veil back That we could see you.

Your visibility today, Born anew from the shadows, Reminds us that who we are Is not imposed upon us.

May you always be visible, Always be seen for who you are, And live authentically yourself. I see you today, and praise you.

Praise to the Trans Folk today, as we celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility.

-Rev. Michael J Dangler

We (@skylark913 and I) are here at ComFest, a local community festival built on equality, justice, and connection. In light of news today, we wish to speak to everyone:

Today, we recognize the inherent right of sovereignty of every person: the ability of each of us to determine our path and our own needs.

We recognize that as Priests, as a Grove, and as humans, it is incumbent on us to hold our fellows when they are hurting, and to be there for those who need us.

We commit to doing the work to be a space that is safe for those who need it, and to help our members, friends, and extended community through these coming days.

We will be here, holding our light, when you need us, and we are on your side.

Let’s do the work we need to do to make this right.

One of many traditions it’s worth revisiting on this Imbolc Eve.

How to prevent goblins on Candlemas Eve.  From Harper’s, 1879.

You can do today. You can do tomorrow. You can do the coming year.

I have faith in you. Go get it.

Saw a couple of old friends in the sky last night, decided to try and get a pic.

Happy 30th anniversary of the award I won in middle school. Pretty sure it was the only award I won.

We must all be known for something, I suppose.

A Prayer on Vaccination

I call out to my Good Friend: Protector of bodies, Settle into me, Comfort of my soul!

With eager heart I have sought you, And I have found you here in my community. You bring forth the gift of strength, And the open path of connection.

Kindle the fire within me, Draw forth the flame that heals, The light that brings fellowship, The blessing of community.

May these blessings flow to all, For the work they can do is good.

So be it.

I ask you all, if you are able, eligible, and ready, to start the process of obtaining a vaccine. It's genuinely important for us all, whether we like this pandemic reality or not, to do our best to be good to each other.

I was thwarted in my attempts to schedule a vaccine as soon as I was eligible by my son being potentially exposed to COVID in school (2.5 days into the "all-in" model at school, of course; no symptoms or illness, though, thankfully); as a result, my quarantine overlapped my eligibility, and I had to wait.

For those still waiting, I know this is hard. I felt it myself when my age group was announced as eligible and my son was put into quarantine the same day. It'll come. It'll be here. You can do this. I see you, friends.

Until then, we'll be safe, we'll be smart, and we'll wash our hands and mask up. Everyone's important here.

Random conversations end up with the strangest memes.

“Hot, lonely Druid Masons in your area! Call now to erect your stones!”

What’s my ritual vibe? :)

Listen: there isn’t space for white supremacy, anti-trans bigotry, or angry misogyny in modern Paganism.

Grow up. Work for others. Build inclusive spaces. Reach out with helping hands.

That’s what our ancestors did. It’s how they survived. And it’s how we’ll continue on into the future.

Take your fake-ass Nazi propaganda & knock off some other religion.

Thank you.
